This sounds really great. As a Go developer I'm also really looking forward to their Go port of the filesystem watcher package — I agree that the existing packages don't fully allow to do a reliable recursive directory watch and i

Isn't it still the case then? I used the basic HTML version when I was working at Google to try to understand whether or not it was slow because of the (unoptimal) frontend or not (it was the backend that sometimes took >=600ms to l

1. I don't believe anyone in their right mind thinks that ffmpeg is still maintained and developed by a single person, and definitely not by Fabrice 2. Spaghetti code or not matters very little, especially in the beginning, before you

Similar things apply to buffered channels in Go: buffering frequently hides deadlocks, etc, but you don't observe them until the buffer is full. So buffers generally should be kept either as zero or very small to be able to catch synch

I had to look hard to find any AI-generated images and I've only found one at the very top. I guess I've just developed "banner blindness" because I didn't even register that image...

Symbian phones were also based on WebKit, however it wasn't nearly as usable due to many factors, mostly because it emulated mouse pointer (and you controlled it via the joystick) and didn't provide the pinch-to-zoom fluidity of t

Fork becomes more and more expensive the higher the RSS of the process, roughly 1ms per 1Gb of the process size with 4kb pages. Given that modern servers can easily support 1-2Tb of RAM the fork() part can easily take several hundred millis

Regardless of the claims made in this analysis, I've personally observed that there are indeed more bugs (or more subtle issues, like nonsensical error messages) being shipped when using LLMs, but not _really_ because LLMs suck, but be

I'm really looking forward to SIMD becoming standard in Go. It might sound very niche, however SIMD intrinsics (which is different from how they are available now, which is via non-inlinable assembly) allow to generate similar vector c

Ideally you'd want to go further and actually store the is_alive as a bit mask and use SIMD instructions to filter out zeroes for example.

Worktrees are different checkouts of the same repo. Clone with --reference is a separate repo altogether, with its own .git and worktree.

by nasretdinov 5mo ago
You can also have multiple independent git repos that don't duplicate the full object store, via git clone --reference. It's less relevant in the container era, but otherwise it can save a lot of time and disk space when cloning r

Generic interfaces are going to be implemented later too if I'm reading correctly. So no real surprises there :). I guess the only surprise yet is that generic interfaces aren't supported, so generic methods physically can't

Lack of generic methods was really surprising to me when I was first trying to use generics in Go. Nice to see it being actually implemented

Very rarely you're bottlenecked by typing speed. If you truly are, and you are already typing at like 200 wpm, then you are probably doing something at the wrong abstraction level. E.g. for a very simple example when making a CRUD admi

Being able to just return {}, err when returning an empty struct from a function sounds really exciting and encouraging to use pointers less, which is really good for nil safety if anything

Looks really interesting. I assume this suggests that ClickHouse is going to gradually switch to using this library for network and I/O, thus addressing the main weakness (in my mind) of C++ thread-per-connection servers, which is, the

if("0") {} being equivalent to if(false) {} still gives me nightmares even though I've stopped using PHP for at least 6 years now :)

I might be in a minority, but I actually prefer fish as an interactive shell and bash (or plain /bin/sh) for scripting, if anything because that's what I'm used to :), and it's portable

Quite an odd thing for a British journal to pretend ARM doesn't exist...

I think all the points that the author complains about are valid. I believe some libraries like Arrow chose a completely different approach to supporting Go altogether: https://github.com/apache/arrow-go#performance .

It's interesting that the way you describe it, the world model itself is _not_ just a collection of words in our minds, and I have a small theory of my own that "thoughts" in our brains aren't actually words at all (othe

Wow my timing for buying a NAS and strong-arming my family to upload all of their stuff there was perfect it seems! I literally bought it a couple months ago, exactly because I was expecting to get locked out of either my account or my phot

Honestly macOS probably can go much lower than that if you turn off some stuff that's not strictly necessary for a VM. The first iPhones only had 128 MiB of RAM and they ran a trimmed down version of macOS Tiger I believe. It's ju

Yes, you are right. The word I was looking for is smoothness: the game won't feel like a stable 10fps, but it would feel as _smooth_ as a 10fps game, or even worse actually, because it's less predictable, and our brains can adapt
