Yeah I know it will be tough. I do allow myself a 5Gb disk to which I can page out memory.

This years challenge for me: write it in C without the standard library or an allocator. Has to be runnable on an STM32 with 32kb of SRAM. I tried doing it in Assembly two years ago, ended up spending hours and hours writing an Assembly sta

I'm curios: are many people here actually still running mainline Prometheus over one of the numerous compatible solutions that are more scalable and have better storage? (Mimir, Victoria, Cortex, OpenObserve, ...)

The horrible AI driven answers that are more wrong than right are very much present in the EU though.

> SpaceX and Starlink have the same owner To be precise: Starlink is a division of the SpaceX corporation, it's not a separate entity.

Sure, but Starlink launches are at-cost, which is much, much cheaper than the cost for external customers. Starlink also has launch priority. Good luck with getting 50 launches a year as a customer...

Digital Foundry did a review of the game. It is quite unusual for that channel to feature such a small indie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvswAg5Lrtw

So, I assume you use a journal in the cache server. A few related questions: * Do you use a single leader for a specific file system, or do you have a cluster solution with consensus to enable scaling/redundancy? * How do you guarantee

There are a lot of alternative lock implementations that are used all the time, with the most common ones probably being tokios RwLock/Mutex and parking_lot. That lint won't help for those.

It's true that the progress in games is much slower now, but I believe in the console world the main factor is hardware. Consoles used to have very bespoke architectures, but now are switching to customized versions of relatively off-t

This seems a bit like XML light. Doesn't look enjoyable to read/write.

Same in Java. You can find libraries that haven't been updated in 10 years and yet are still the best solution.

All the rumors always said they were working on both in parallel. I assume they could not yet make glasses happen in a way that fit their expectations or at a reasonable price point. Even the Vision Pro is a device with big trade-offs (exte

Making it seem like you can use a premium feature, only to present you with a "You need to upgrade" view after a few steps. Eg for Keypass and authenticator.

I think all of this is available in lazygit as well, which seems to still be way too unknown, despite the 50k stars: https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit

I also quite like nixlang for config tasks - in theory! In practice its really annoying. I think the main problem is the interpreter and the bad error messages / bad debuggability. Part of that just comes from lazy evaluation, which ma

That entirely depends on how you build your stack. I always strongly push for setting up the whole infrastructure with a future migration in mind, and without tying the company closely to specific cloud services. You lose out on some of the

This isn't just a problem in JS. In every language I looked the otel libraries were a bloated, over-abstracted and resource-hungry mess. I think that's partially because it is actually difficult and complex to implement, and parti

Koka is indeed incredibly cool, but: It sees sporadic bursts of activity, probably when an intern is working on it, and otherwise remains mostly dormant. There is no package manager that could facilitate ecosystem growth. There is no effort

There is no truly great open source TTS system available, as far as I know. Most of them are rather scrappy.

Google is mostly fine if you know what you are looking for and if it's not an SEO / ad target topic. If those two don't apply Google is often pretty much useless, just giving you low quality/ AI spam blog posts, useless

Funnily enough Rust supports exactly that pretty well with async. An `async {}` block is not evaluated, but converted into a generator/state machine that lives on the stack, and that has to be advanced by calling a poll method. You can

Why should every language occupy the same design space? Rust was shaped by Mozilla wanting a language to replace parts of Firefox with. A language that is low-level enough to give very high performance, enforces correctness through the type
