Well, there are some stability issues with my ryzen 2700x. At first there were CPU freezes in idle on Linux: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196683 . After applying workarounds, I still see some strange crashes,

WASM has bounds checking on the linear memory as well.

True, that's why I wrote "Dart had".

Well, the conservatives and the right are not going to implement left politics. Austria was certainly NOT converted into a "dystopian place". Like it or not: Some time ago, a left-leaning newspaper (Standard) wrote that the curren

Almost all your points are about immigration. Yes, they have certainly moved to the right on immigration. Even the centre-left social democrates have moved right in this regard. But that still doesn't make the conservatives a right-win

No, that's just your opinion. The OVP is center-right, the FPO is right wing/populistic.

Well I am skeptical about performance improvements due to type annotations as well. Other languages have similar different systems and didn't get faster. Dart had gradual types but didn't enforce them at runtime because of perform

Isn't it a win because the goroutine now starts with 4K of stack instead of 2K? This makes the stack large enough, such that the stack doesn't have to expanded on every request.

by readittwice 7y ago
It might make allocation a bit faster, but is this really where performance was lost? I guess for the runtime it is more expensive to copy the stack contents (so nearly 2K) and e.g. update pointers in it (a simple memcpy might not be enough

Well, in Austria there are a lot of people going to the dentist to Hungary as well because it's cheaper. The situation is a bit more subtle than you pretend it is. Health insurance typically only covers the minimum at the dentist, and

Not sure why you think this is the case: there are numerous JITs/VMs that optimize starting from bytecode e.g. all JVMs, WebAssembly, V8, JSC,... Can you point me to some paper/reference about this? AFAIK it doesn't matter wh

by readittwice 8y ago
True, however I would argue that having an IR in general makes the code easier to understand and maintain. Especially if you add more optimizations.

Ember? It's supposed to be a Rails-like JS framework.

I mean it's kinda true. But they still had to figure out that these were the projects/companies worth buying and afterwards pursuing and advancing them such that they would become the cash-cows they are today. IMHO the Google Home

Google just recently abandoned Android and pushed ChromeOS for tablets. Now this, there is just no continuity with Google. Unless you absolutely need Android for some reason, I would recommend the iPad.

Please correct me if am wrong: But I think both Chrome and Safari have disabled/removed their Spectre-mitigations in the JS engine.

I personally would like to see an ARM competitor to the Intel NUC. 4GB and 4 cores sounds great but might not be enough for development or certain benchmarks. Something like 16GB RAM and at least 8 fast cores with a fast SSD should be enoug

I guess the situation is similar to containers and static linking that got popular for server deployments quite recently. They allow to develop, test and deploy your application with its dependencies in the exact same version - the exact sa

Not sure that's what he was saying. I understood that instead of targeting the server-market directly first, he recommends that it would be better to target the developer market first. And if it's popular there, it will naturally

Hinkel shouldn't have used this term, simply because Pinker was NOT mansplaining. And AFAIK Pinker isn't a billionaire either. Calling them mansplaining billionairs is IMHO a cheap shot. Pinker and Hinkel have different opinions -
