People will do anything to avoid reading and maintaining someone else's code. If that means rewriting in native and someone (usually VC's) is paying for it so be it. If you think working in existing TS/JS code is hard, wait u

While they used Cranelift IR itself (amongst others, not just LLVM) to show performance improvements (thus making it complementary and not a replacement) you raise a good point. Quite possible it is not as full-featured yet so perhaps in th

Inverting the original intent, this is great, learn how Rust improves certain things and use that to write better C++ if possible.

Odd take, maybe the Java story made sense in say 2012 where everything would default to Java and you were building everything from a different abstraction. If you look at the past 15 years, the landscape has split into lower abstractions of

DuckDB works well if * you have a small datasets (total, not just what a single user is scanning) * no real-time updates, just a static dataset that you can analyze at leisure * only few users and only one doing any writes * several seconds

Looks good. Better chance of success. Agree with the OP you are responding to, Rust might be great for those looking to write things from scratch, no baggage to deal with, not so great if you have to use it when written by someone else (eve

My reading was 640MiB was seen as some extraordinary upper bound that was unlikely to be breached in 1995 leaving lot of bits of the address bus for NV1 for quite some time. The 640 KiB seems definitely not a limit as even IBM PC/AT re

The sentence and paragraph which makes it clear that this was megabytes and not kilobytes At a time when PC memory maxed out at 640 megabytes, the fact that the PCI bus could address 4 gigabytes meant that quite a few of its address bits w

Since 2012, all future browsers will be written in Rust and looks like it will always be that case. Perhaps, programming a browser in Rust is a painful activity that nobody seems to have managed to complete (writing parts of it since the Se

All FAANG (or whatever is the latest acronym) have layers and layers of middle management who not only don't do anything to build product or support customers but irritate and impede work by putting in nonsensical processes and rules.

CForge’s engine was originally created in Rust for safety and modern ergonomics—but with v2.0.0-beta, I've re-implemented the engine in native C and C++ for tighter toolchain integration, lower memory & startup overhead, and direc

Any idea on how it compares to std::span in C++. .NET is indeed quite fast nevertheless, (at least since 6).

DHH's focus getting massive saving on storage costs is a head-scratcher. Usually, egress costs are punitive. Given LLM's are pretty good now, I modeled the break-even point of such a move from S3 (6PB) to a colo. Breakeven time 18
