Ideally you'd want to measure _perceived_ performance of the game by players, which would probably depend on the _lowest_ "fps" value during the specific interval. I've seen some games change the colour of the fps counte

No, of course I'm not going to if I choose thunderbolt :). But in many cases it's fine because SSDs aren't nearly as noisy as HDDs, so the NAS can just sit under your desk. For 40+ GbE or fibre I agree they are expensive, but

10 GbE sits in a really weird spot for me, maybe I'm just not understanding something though. It's at most 1.25 GB/sec of bandwidth, yet it's relatively quite expensive. It's not sufficient bandwidth for getting goo

As a person who started in a dynamic language (PHP; don't laugh, it's actually really good for web dev) and worked in an infrastructure team which had to do a lot of refactoring... I can't agree with the sentiment either. Dyn

Yeah Go is a new Java essentially. Also arguably it's a much better alternative because of static linking and no JIT

It's just that the French left the greastet Easter Egg of all time when creating the Metric System. They could've just made speed of light some round number, e.g. 1 million km/sec, but that sounded too bland, so they chose th

While I agree with the outcome, I don't agree with reasoning. What really matters for larger projects isn't how quickly you can write code, but how easy it is to understand the code and the architecture to those modifying the spec

If you remember what was the encodings situation before UTF-8 became the norm... Let's say it was really ugly. E.g. there were at least two popular encodings for Russian Cyrillic letters — CP1251 and KOI8-R, and it was _very_ common fo

Well, alphabets change (especially emojis), rules change, etc, so keeping a single subset of stable and known characters is unlikely to be a bad idea :)

As a non-English speaker I can really relate to this. I think the real mistake was Apple allowing to enter a non-ASCII password in the first place. E.g. on macOS the password fields have been locked to English character set, and I'm no

By all accounts the CPUs we've made with ridiculous stuff like 2nm transistors is _surely_ more advanced than neurons, right? We just haven't figured out how to wire them properly :)

I like how most people's reactions at this point are "yeah, whatever", as if it's every day that humans observe the far side of the moon with a naked eye through a window :). We do know what it looks like and we have pho

I find it quite interesting that import of "fmt" package alone leads to a 2+ MiB binary :). But, to be fair, TinyGo doesn't seem to treat "fmt.Printf" function any differently from others, so it does compile the sam

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's atmosphere since it does scatter light slightly

You can disable GC in tinygo, so if you allocate all the necessary buffers beforehand it can have good performance with real-time characteristics. If you _need_ dynamic memory allocation then no, because you need GC it can't provide re

Tinygo made a lot of progress over the years -- e.g. they've recently introduced macOS support! It does indeed produce much smaller binaries, including for macOS. yuriy@MacBookAir ~/t/tinygo> time tinygo build -o test-

Interestingly enough, the initial Go implementation was indeed just a transpiler to C, and generally Go and C are semantically very similar. So the fact that you can even (successfully and relatively easily) do Go->C transpiling isn&#x27

Using zstd for binary diffs is something I would never expect. I wonder how it compares to e.g. the library that Chrome uses: https://blog.chromium.org/2009/07/smaller-is-faster-and-safe... (this is from 2009 so m

Generally when I want to run something with so much parallelism I just write a small Go program instead, and let Go's runtime handle the scheduling. It works remarkably well and there's no execve() overhead too

When I first switched to Mac from Windows I was really fascinated by the fact that generally you _could_ figure things out on your own and fix your system by just examining the filesystem structure (in recovery root shell). E.g. I once deci
