> SpaceX has made excellent progress with its Starship rocket. The stainless steel vehicle can now explode before even leaving the Earth. Honest question as I don't often read the theregister.com: is such sarcasm/bias typical?

It might be more expensive now because it is novel, but over time, as it commoditizes and more competition enters, prices will likely go down. Also, this is how the free market works. The actual users decide what something is worth based on

This is a blast from the past and it is neat to see some bare bones coding projects, but as others have said this is hardly "modern".

Because I don't particularly like writing bulk code, but solving problems and designing things.

> is the tool really providing benefit in that case? Yes, much of the time and esp. for tests. I've been writing code for 35 years. It takes a while to break old habits!

Have you noticed people more productive, in general, using Claude Code or Cursor? Obviously it varies, but curious if one or the other is the clear productivity champion at this point.

Misunderstood - thought you were saying ioring was a feature specific to linux, but you meant specific to linux on Postgres.

Yes, that was IOCP, however, Windows now also has IORing (see my comment above)

by nu11ptr 1y ago
Is this new async. I/O feature for Linux only? I know Windows has IOCP and also now an IORing implementation of its own (Less familiar with macOS capabilities other than POSIX AIO). https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us&#x2

Wow, not sure why this surprises me, but I guess I figured he would be like Charlie and keep working until he passed.

I also felt inferior programming in Pascal and believed "real programmers" wrote in C back in the early 90s. I quickly moved on to Turbo C/C++ after only a couple of years writing in Turbo Pascal in my teen years. If there is

Is this backlash against the US or indications of a recession that is starting?

Super cool. At first I was thinking QModem was the name of an old protocol (like XModem, YModem, ZModem) because it has been so long, but it sounded so familiar. I googled for images and boom - there it is, my childhood. I spent so many hou

Yep, I do use that, but after getting used to Rust's Send/Sync traits it feels wild and crazy there are no guardrails now on memory access between threads. More a feel thing than reality, but I just find I need to be a bit more ca

No, it is not all that fast after the CGo call marshaling (Rust would need to compile to the C ABI). I would essentially call in to Rust to start the code, run it in its own thread pool and then call into Rust again to stop it. The time to

I did the same for my project and moved to Go from Rust. My iteration is much faster, but the code a bit more brittle, esp. for concurrency. Tests have become more important. Still, given the nature of what my project is (APIs and basic fin

If I use something I like the idea that I can fix bugs should the need arise.

Looks neat. What tech stack is used for this? Is it open source by chance?

I find this a confusing reply. First, you seem to be confusing eager string interpolation with this lazy/deferred templating feature. I'm specifically asking about languages that have the latter. More confusingly, you bring up the

In general, it is a win, since it lets you code faster and 80-90% the performance doesn't matter. Over time, you learn generally what leads to heap allocs and what doesn't. In rare hot spot, using -m will show you the allocations

Strange comment given the obvious differences in GPL vs. non-GPL regardless your personal opinion. GPL code means if I decide to distribute my project in the future, I will have to distribute my source code. That isn't a risk I'm

True - cat is well out of the bag at this point

It is very easy to accidently use a GPL library without knowing it, especially if it is a dependency of a dependency and you aren't using a license scanner.

This feature is not complicated, but one must keep every feature that can possibly be seen in code in their head. Even if it is familiar now, what happens when you use the feature in the one small section of code where it fits, nowhere else

> The GPL is not a virus that latches onto any code it gets near Honestly, that is EXACTLY how I feel about it. If I use GPL code in my code then my code must also be GPL (if I distribute). The term seems to fit to me. And no, I've

Permissiveness is relative, so in relation to MIT/BSD/Apache, it is not.
