It's pretty straightforward, knowing when to use the stack vs heap can improve your performance. Having both paradigms available in the language means you can start out relying on the GC for everything. Later when you're ready, yo

You mean like this? https://bellard.org/jslinux/vm.html?url=alpine-x86.cfg&mem=1... I don't think it's running in WASM, but I think it's linux in your browser.

I pretty much grew up on Windows. I don't hate it or MS, but over time it was clear, their interests and mine were diverging.

Agree, for the average end-user switching is still difficult. I do think for some of the more technically oriented ones (some gamers, etc...) it may be possible.

I'm not. I wasn't waiting around to see how far they will push it.

True, it's an uphill battle, particularly with any kind of specialized HW, but I'm all in now.

by mftb 5y ago
Indeed. Now, I'm trying to get the gamers that I know to switch.

Microsoft, if you're listening; Ads in Windows, is what pushed me to leave. I have no intention of ever returning. Ads in the tools that I use for my work are unacceptable.

It would seem that many other folks in this thread disagree that Uber's service in the area you referenced is worse. I've never been to the UK, so I can't offer an opinion.

by mftb 5y ago
You're sample is simply not representative. If we could go back in time to 5 years before Uber's founding, I could show you the taxi system on the entire west coast of the US was non-functional, from San Diego to Seattle, service,

I really liked this write-up and I'm getting curious about Ada, after completely ignoring it for a very long time. My impression of the Fyne toolkit was similar to the authors. Overall I'm disappointed in Go's gui situation.

This is the most interesting project I have seen in a while. Well done!

Even after your comment I was willing to give the linked article the benefit of the doubt, then I came to this, 'If I type "Anyone can be a software developer" into Google here's the first result...'. Immediately af

I'm an older runner (50+), live in LA. I feel in some sense this story might be near to me, but it might as well be in a parallel universe. I never run in organized events. I specifically run by myself, so I can enjoy my time, free fro

It is. The statistic the article is actually referencing is that ~25%, "use twitter"[0]. That most likely indicates they at least open Twitter. Another post from the same site, the article references, has the headline that about 1

Perfection isn't an interesting goal. Even if it were possible it's uninteresting, since it's not possible, it's wholly uninteresting. Transcendence, exceeding whichever limits of your choosing, is far more fulfilling, r

Nice and yea, I would definitely consider going this route in the future.

I did. If you're a developer, for a personal machine it's both easy and straightforward (I have work provided machines that use other OS's but that's outside the scope of this post). Do a little research on HW that works

I do hear what you are saying and it is important to try and maintain multiple perspectives.

You're probably right he doesn't, and consequently his post was not about what you're describing. I live in the suburbs, < 5 minutes from almost every conceivable material good, with all delivery options, and I'm freq

This is the answer. It's all internal, he says in his case. They know what they're doing with their own stuff. Staying on v0 is just another signifier that it's one of their internal things, they need to handle specially.

I think the really great thing you did here, was just lay it out. So little is said/shown on this topic that it's really valuable to just get people conscious of their own process, so that they can compare and contrast.

I believe the argument is explained in the linked post by about slide 7. You simply didn't read enough. The author is not arguing that transaction volume and "work" are directly related, but rather that for the entire system

lol, Circus Circus really had a lot of hard to find games, around that time. I too once spent an entire family vacation in there, playing Crazy Climber (another game with dual joysticks).

For whatever reason Red Baron was much harder to find. We went on a late night bike quest to play the only one nearby, which was in an arcade under a pier. We could see the relation to Battlezone, but I wouldn't understand that they sh

Indeed! It also had two independent joysticks. One for the left tread, and one for the right. One joystick forward, the other back allowed you to turn in place, like an actual tank. My twelve-year old brain was fully immersed.

Unfortunately having been through a similar evolution, I feel the same, but when I talk to younger people, they think it's great. I specifically agree with the part about barely-usable garbage. Whenever I'm linked to a Twitter thr

You also might want to just give it a little time. When I viewed this post 3 hours after you, the four following comments began, "Super cool project...", "First: cool project...", "I setup something similar..."
