Right, I'm arguing this is the wrong abstraction level, and that only the build system can make correct container sizing decisions.

In my experience trying to outsource to India, there is a strong systemic bias towards lying and cheating to get ahead (and that was even before AI), and a focus on milking as much money as possible rather than building great technology. Wh

That's precisely what I'm not describing; Nix doesn't even have access to the build DAG.

The main problem is that builds require a variable amount of cores depending on what needs to be (re)built. The ideal thing to do is to have the build system itself orchestrate remote builds, since it actually knows how many things need bui

Meanwhile C++ has more than a hundred, with a focus on production-ready rather than innovative design patterns.

It would make sure that any graph is provided in topological order.

VG10 edge retention isn't that amazing in my experience, and it's harder to sharpen than carbon steel. Burr feels gummy rather than crisp, and carbon steel goes as high as 65 HRC vs 62 for VG10. It's sad that the market is fl

There are good parser generators, but potentially not as Rust libraries.

you would use "operator new" (allocates memory only) not "new" (allocates and constructs, and more if using the new[] variant)

There are plenty of people who use RAII with arenas for nested group of objects. Bloomberg for example had a strong focus on that, and they enhanced the allocator model quite significantly to be able to standardize this. This was the reason

even when you write your own container, you do not use new and delete.

what steel is it? Best edge retention I've seen is Aogami Super. From what I know Chinese copies focus more on the VG10-like steels.

Free iron supplements, that's stuff is good for you.

The main problem if you're roaming is that you're considered a lower-priority customer, and since the network is often saturated already, you don't get any bandwidth.

tl;dr people reject installing ugly masts in densely urbanised neighbourhoods, meaning there often isn't enough capacity for everyone to get fast 5G.

French knives are far behind Japanese ones, be it in metallurgy or design.

I found this justification dubious. To me the main reason to use eBPF is that it gives more information and is lower overhead.

If it's about making trade-offs for simplicity then use Kafka. Some poor quality software with bad performance, but an established piece of tech regardless.

Mountaintops are already cold and shaded places by definition. And regardless of whether it's beneficial for humans, it's still changing the local ecosystem.

Running eBPF programs doesn't strictly require root.

I'm not convinced with the need to embed CEL. You could just output json and pipe to jq.

Betteridge's law of headlines already has an answer to that one.

clock_gettime is not doing a syscall, it's using vdso.

by mgaunard 9mo ago
Obviously a vdso read is going to be significantly faster than a syscall switching to the kernel, writing serialized data to a buffer, switching back to userland, and parsing that data.

A NVMe disk write is 20 microseconds.

Good NICs get data out in a microsecond or two. That's still off by quite the order of magnitude, but that could be up to the network topology in question.

Pointing out facts is not being a jerk. If you don't want feedback, don't solicit it. Also if you disapprove, modding down is enough, you don't need to start a meta-discussion thread, which is itself a discouraged practice.

Compilers aren't as good at doing that one unfortunately.
