I don't think the "I use Rust btw" comments contribute much to the discussion. C and Rust don't perfectly overlap, especially since Rust is more a replacement to C++ than C.

Have a look at tinygo for embedded and system progamming in Go. Keep in mind Go has an unsafe statement for manual memory management and pointer arithmetic. You can also import C-style malloc/calloc should you need them. https:/&

Sure, but unlike Java and C#, Go is an AOT compiler generating native binaries. It's half-way between Rust and Java/C#.

Bisq, of course. https://bisq.network With a bit more manpower, they could make the UI more usable to the general public. I wish there was an iOS/Android version too.

"Not your keys not your coins". I wonder how people can trust those CEX to store their funds. Private keys should be hosted on a cold wallet, period.

Anyone can run graphical Linux apps on Windows 10 too, or even on XP/Cygwin. You just have to install the X Server (VcXsrv) separately.

Very excited about the ability to run x86 VMs through Rosetta. This will make x86 virtualization a lot more straightforward on Apple Silicon (no more reliance on qemu).

Right now I would be more interested in ravynOS: https://airyx.org It's also FreeBSD, but they're writing their own Apple-compatible userland on top.

Healthy competition between modern init systems: runit, openrc, s6, systemd... This choice should be yours when you install a system. Just like you wouldn't want to have no choice for your desktop environment (why would anyone not want

Try it on servers as well. If something doesn't work as it should, just run it in a CentOS/Ubuntu container. It usually works better than doing the opposite (CentOS/Ubuntu server running Alpine containers).

It was supposed to be rebuilt as a phased array of about a thousand 10m dishes mounted on a steerable plate about 300m wide. That would have been some colossal engineering. Have a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=518&am

That seems to be ray casting (a la Wolfenstein 3D), not ray tracing.

The Québecois, and French Canadians as a whole, speak perfect French. Of course they have an accent, but so do Texans and the Scottish, yet it's still English.

When you do a "kubectl get hpa", the 0% and 100% rules are set according to the CPU request and limit. The current usage will be set to "<unknown>" if either is missing, and the deployment won't autoscale.

by rahen 4y ago
We use CPU limits at work for the simple reason we can't autoscale deployments without having them set. An HPA will deploy a new pod each time the CPU limit has been reached for more than 30 seconds. The whole point is to scale out, no

It absolutely is. IBM started to bring mainframe features to the PC architecture with its PS2 line. The PS2 microchannel architecture (MCA), in particular, was inspired by the 360 and became itself the inspiration for the PCI bus.

Did you try with a recent release of the Go compiler? Versions above 1.15 have seen significant performance optimizations, most notably better inlining.
