I suspect that L3 impacts performance a lot. I dabbled in running a Windows VM with a GPU passthrough, and I had to spend a lot of time to properly pin virtual cores to physical ones so that CPU caches are utilized properly, as I suspected

What does Apple buy from ARM? The right to use the instruction set? Is it even eligible for licensing?

They might do it even without comments by adding unused fields.

It's the same ISA, they don't need to be recompiled.

FYI I'm referring to the specific "why not matrix?" piece which was posted on telegraph and then was replied to by a matrix developer on lobsters. I don't want to link to them directly, hopefully you can find them both,

That edit was here before that comment received any replies, so this is not a response by edit.

Keep in mind that to continue automatic testing on older Apple platforms you have to run it on older Macs, which might not be available on the market anymore. CI/CD jobs are usually ran on mac minis, and if there are no more new mac mi

I am a developer, I know what dependencies I am pulling in my projects, what they do and I even read the code. What good will offloading this to my users do? They have to decide whether they trust my apps with all its dependencies, they can

Requirement to "install dependencies locally" is part of the pain with C++ dep management. Not having to do it makes builds much easier to define, as you don't need to supports lots of distros and hope that everyone of them i

I've seen microservices with inadequate boundaries, much like what you just described with monoliths. This was due to product evolution, or maybe initial requirements were not fully understood when the new architecture was implemented.

by vilunov 3y ago
After years of working with various microservice-based systems, I got the impression that the whole idea of "microservices" means ignoring various nuances of particular products and organizations and just splitting your system in

I didn't try that, but I doubt it will help either. This is a BLE-based attack, you can't disable BLE.

Well, glibc could be considered part of the operating system, although this too is arguably not correct, because some technologies go out of the way to not depend on anything present in the system and be completely self-contained, e.g. full

I feel like each of this points can be reasonably disputed. 1. One app - one repo. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with multiple apps (as in separate pods/containers/processes) being developed in a single repo, as long as the

Most of criticism of XMPP with regards to fragmentation and extensions can be applied to Matrix as well. In fact, the sliding sync itself already fragments the ecosystem by not being supported out of the box by many server implementations a

You seem to raise valid points and I don't disagree with you, however I don't see how it's relevant to the original concern regarding colored functions.
