   I’ve heard the readability justification for C restriction, but it doesn’t make sense: this prevent ´constification’ of variables (make the variable contains only one value)..

   Maybe but don't underestimate the effort, I needed to do something similar and tried to use Nix but I failed: the doc wasn't very good, there weren't 32bit packages.. So I just built gcc myself which I found very easy.

   Funny that's the exact same issue that C++ const cast 'solve', of course D's inout solution is much more elegant.

   I would be very surprised that Go had lower latency than BEAM based languages, higher throughput/better CPU utilisation OK, lower latency?? Do you have a benchmark showing this? As for Pony, in theory it should be great but it looks v

   Nothing in templates is 'simple and dumb': it may look so but it isn't: try to write some, you'll inevitably makes some mistake and the errors are really awful!

   It wasn't the same demo: the first time, it was a roller coaster (a really dumb demo!!), the second time walking on a roof and falling (interesting that it created some fear of heights, but I didn't expect to nearly fall for real

    - Spectre's mitigation are probably extra painful for microkernels. - AFAIK the most secure microkernel is SeL4, but AFAIK it isn't proven for multiple cores, and I wouldn't be surprised if (some) low-power settings of CPUs w

    While Linus is a really good programmer, Linux is what it is only because he merged the contributions of many other good programmers.. Why did these programmers contributed to Linux? Because Linus came at the right time, with the right moti

    Some of the articles point have nothing to do with the age of TCP, some do, if I copy just two points: 1) TCP makes applications build their own messaging protocols on top 2) The three-way handshake (and connection shutdown) is slow and was

    I wonder if a CPU ISA change couldn't make virtualization more efficient? Dedicated instructions for IO for example instead of using Load/Store.. D But I don't think new ISA such as RISC V do this, I don't know why.

    I`m not so sure about ownership, sure it's nice to be able to brag no GC and being memory safe, but this has a huge complexity cost.. IMHO adding to the compiler a GC/ASan for the debug mode (to detect double free, use after free,

    If memory serves, NetBSD's strength is its portability.. So given the current state of Rust's portability, I doubt that they are very interested. As for OpenBSD, I wouldn't hold my breath: remember that Rust isn't the fi

    In theory yes, in practice I'm not so sure: I've seen state machine implementations which were ten times more code than the few if/else/for loop needed. Sure you can draw a pretty state machine diagram, but is the code r

    Uh? No I write code (C++) left to right most of the time, and when I have to do a right to left update, the IDE's stupid autocomplete (vscode but other IDE are the same) keeps making annoying unneeded changes.

    I'm not so sure, when Java was created computers weren't that fast.. Of course, now with computers fast enough that Python and JavaScript are king, sure!
