Indeed objectively is easily an opinion. And I'd like to see that talk if you could, I'm still in the migration process of migrating off gmail. Its slow though as I have to change a ton of logins to use my own domain that gets stu

How about politics friday's or no politics Ndays. Where the rule is in general no X in general unless its something like "politician bans encryption" type stuff. That way if people want to do politics, fine, but if we restric

Sorry should have been more clear, my meaning was more around things like cargo and tooling rather than the language proper. Don't take any of my criticism too harshly either, I do like and use Rust for side projects. But it is about 3

It worked surprisingly enough, well enough to make me consider trying out some gpio stuff to play around with. From there I'll let you know, I'm still learning Idris and dependent types so I'm a fairly boring test case. This

Yep, I've not tried the c11 threads yet, pthreads tend to work for me and in kernel, well not like i'll be using c11 threads anyway. So its been a bit of a "maybe someday" task. :)

Idris can compile to c, it requires no runtime. You're probably thinking of Haskell with its RTS. Idris is closer to ocaml in that regard. I cough may have already tried using idris in a kernel module. (for fun, not for serious)

Also if anyone is talking about systems programming, it would be beneficial if you specify what that means. I've seen people consider "systems" programming as relating to building web services. Traditionally systems programmi

It is indeed. But its more a polishing of C99 imo. At least annex k is optional now iirc.

From having to use it on solaris, it was more the flexibility of resizing and changing the layout without downtime that was useful. When you have a 100k+ machine it makes more sense, when you can just rebuild a new instance it makes less se

Yep, which also lets you define aliases as well so you can do even more. And its just a perl script, so its even easier to install/sync anywhere.

Yep, I bought some fun electronic bench gear, on the back it says validate the 110/220/240 setting prior to use. On that note, always look on the back for a manual switch. Just to be safe. Its unlikely a regular consumer would nee

Also amusing to me, this is the same thing people were talking about when Apple moved from the 30 pin connector to lightning. And Firewire to USB, and VGA to DVI to Displayport to HDMI, and... I'm just surprised that apple did the thin

You jest, but in one of the discussions for EME, that exact case was brought up. Only they wanted to drm javascript sent to the browser. We got rid of Flash only to see a new hydra head emerge. People clamoring for javascript applications s

The claim isn't about memory needed to flesh out an entire address range, but resources allocated to things like nat in ipv4. Why am I trying to fill out in memory an entire /64? More importantly what purpose will doing that for a

It depends on the data generally, but algorithms like lz4 can decompress faster than most storage mediums can keep up. Including nvme drives. Compare 1.8GiB/s reads of raw data, versus compressed almost 3 or more. This is on a skylake

DDR4 uses about 30% more energy in general though, hence the thickness bit as to get a 10 hour lifetime means more battery. Presumably Apple means that lpddr is the only choice they care about for a laptop. Which while I would love more ram

by mitchty 10y ago
The ram is more that skylake doesn't support the right lpddr3 ram thus maxed out at 16gb. Thinness is part of it, but only due to energy use and chipset support. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/09/sky

Pandoc doesn't work, or any threaded Haskell rts application. Not enough ioctl's and other things are supported needless to say.
