I think it's a special kind of person that gets a kick from "winning" at something that's not a challenge. You might as well write "winner" on a t-shirt in marker and wear it.

I will say that a rust service, even when doing relatively simple stuff, can scale well in the cloud due to small memory footprint, fast startup time when auto-scaling in containers, and no need for a JIT to "warm up" before it ha

Anorexia is when people starve themselves to an unhealthy degree based on mental issues, body dysmorphia, something like that. Someone intermittent fasting to lose excess weight and having success at it isn't the same.

Thank you for continuing the long tradition of using car analogies to explain things on message boards. This is a pretty good one.

You might be surprised at what benefits from the big cache outside of games but that is certainly one of the main selling points. :)

150ns is actually surprisingly high! I didn't realize it was so bad. That's about 2-3x as much latency as fetching from DRAM based on what I see in peoples AIDA64 results.

That's fair. Though, monetization aside, I myself feel less inclined to put significant effort into a joke or something if the expected audience is tiny.

Whether that's an upgrade depends on your use case, as the X3D has more cache.

The weirdest one of the bunch is the AMD EPYC 9175F: 16 cores with 512MB of L3 cache! Presumably this is for customers trying to minimize software costs that are based on "per-core" licensing. It really doesn't make much sens

I think the best answer to that is ask your doctor if you see something that concerns you. Though, even without an expert opinion or big data as a reference, establishing what is a baseline for yourself and then noting when there is signifi

Last I checked there was a significant disadvantage to using rather basic Java JIT code in a cloud environment: slow startup time and poor initial performance in terms of requests per second & latency meant scaling on demand didn't

How specific events throughout the day affect your BP, like things you ate, caffeine, a walk in the cold/heat, exercise, or a conversation. I'd say it's all useful info for perspective on how to manage stress and circulatory

The potential for cute stuff to 'go viral' is severely diminished thanks to high production value click-bait and mainstream content. Big Content will drown out anything that hasn't gained tons of views already by promotion th

Anarchy in this case seems like a good choice of word to me, at least. No single leader, no single direction.

Edit to say: thanks for your answer. I'll preserve the rest since I still think wheels are being reinvented here. Bridging state across requests is not new. If "the new CGI" means more efficiently sharing state between reques

I also support the development of client side applications, but I don't think they should necessarily be run in a browser or sandbox or be bought through an app store, and it's definitely not a new idea.

This is not like CGI. Calling it "the new CGI" seems to me like a way to confuse people, since CGI was a response to individual requests and carrying state across requests was always extra work. None of this has to do with WASM in

The article does not seem to support the title. You'll have to show me how it does. 'serverless' is a wholly different concept that doesn't have much to do with wasm. You could say it's CGI as a service, but that ha

I kind of like this variety of headline for it's ability to stimulate discussion but it's also nonsense. CGI can be any type of code responding to an individual web request, represented as a set of parameters. It has basically not

Yeah, sorry. I was aware of that but was being loose with words. I do think that part of the appeal is rust feels more bare metal and direct to people even if they're using heavy abstractions as compared to Java/kotlin or C# pro

Rust makes an '.exe', Java makes a '.jar'. I think people want to write programs that run on an OS rather than an interpreter.

Mostly because the people still clinging to php are grifters and idiots, in my experience. I guarantee you can't save the php quagmire I was asked to fix.

AI identify verification is currently so incredibly dumb that it blows my mind.

Oh, sorry that wasn't clear. I meant that type of class, as in, a class similar to "intro to programming", not a class about types in the programming sense. And by "class", I mean classes in the school sense, haha.

by smolder 2y ago
Your argument does make sense for teaching an intro to programming type class, where it may not be obvious what is a function name versus variable name. That just hasn't been my audience for a very long time now when explaining anythin

Prefixing things with My is so Windows 95... In place of foo and bar I prefer to go with stuff like one() two() three(), or a() b() c(), timeless classics that need no explanation.

In my case there was a floating nav bar bouncing around at seemingly random vertical heights over top of the document as I scrolled, which I found very distracting. Additionally, the buttons that are meant to link to the subtopics did not w

I am not sure what this article is about. I assumed it would be redundant but didn't get to find out because of the weird intolerable formatting.

Part of this goes back to skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) systems becoming the standard. It used to be I would just play Counter-Strike on a local server because it had the best ping, by far. The same people were playing there all the time,
