For a programmer, the absolutely simplest solution is (likely) using Github pages + Jekyll Now: - to set the blog up, fork the Jekyll Now repository, and configure it to serve GH Pages - to add a new article, just add a markdown fil

Good question! I can't answer, unfortunately. v13 and v14 surely work, but I think 12 will work as well (by that time, I was using lld, with mold is compatible).

Sort in which context? Unix has `sort -V`. Of the other languages I use, they all have either built-in functionalities, or small libraries to do it.

That's fair, but I seriously consider the danger of a slippery slope. To keep in mind, on a pragmatic level, that this type of global can be trivially implemented, at a minimum, via atomics, so the cost to avoid the unsafe is near-zero

You're correct. The reason is not to attribute industry common practices to a specific company, but it makes sense also to expose it :) The producer is Google. I think (not sure) that they support their phones for 3 years.

If you have a bit of patience, install LineageOS. Samsung phones have a big following in this domain - as of today (May/2022), even the Galaxy S3 (Neo) is supported (!). I'm not saying it's trivial (it's not hard, but ha

Gitlab split and rewrote some services in $faster_language. Based on the hires, Github seems to be doing that as well. Gitlab's history with $faster_language has at least some background documentation, e.g. https://about.git

Splitting services and porting them to a faster language doesn't prevent prototyping in the main, slower, language (in this case, Ruby). It also doesn't need to be microservices madness - see GitLab (and also GitHub, but I think t

Crystal is not production ready. It doesn't even have production-ready parallelism (and there has been no discussion about it for a couple of years), so it can't be compared to Go. I'd love to see large-scale adoption, but it
