This is evidently false. It is a well-known result of Computer Science how static types and mathematical proofs are equivalent (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry%E2%80%93Howard_correspon... ). If you make static t

This is correct. malloc_trim() can make the unused memory pages (within an mmap() that malloc did) available for use by other processes using madvise() (turning them from grey squares into white squares in the linked article's visualis

Why do you have to call malloc_trim()? According to the docs [1,2] it should be called automatically when the free space exceeds the default M_TRIM_THRESHOLD of 128 KiB. Is it because of this bug [3] or for another reason? [1] https:&

I got that, and it's an often-heard argument, which is why I stated that it worked as described for other companies as well.

I expect Nix to become more popular due to its ability to build static binaries. The key benefit that nixpkgs has over other Linux distributions' package sets on this topic are: 1. It allows you to _program_ your package set, thus addi

If you just want to enable it in your kernel (in case your distribution hasn't already), the config option is called `CONFIG_NET_DROP_MONITOR`. I've recently made it on-by-default in NixOS and also collected some info about which

I'd argue that these things are comparatively easy to address, as one use of `strace` will immediately show bad IO patterns like that, and it works the same way across all programming languages.
