As someone who has never lived in SF but vaguely heard of their issues with homelessness, that article is super eye-opening. It talks about city bureaucrats and homeless advocacy organizations, but not so much the attitude of the general pu

The parent comment is criticizing systemd, not upholding the virtues of sysvinit. There are more than two init systems out there, and it is possible for sysvinit and systemd to both be bad in their own ways

The water turbulence wasn't in the video actually. From the wikipedia article: "They looked down at the sea and also noticed a turbulent oval area of churning water with foam and frothy waves "the size of a Boeing 737 airplan

That's super interesting and I almost want to believe that something like this could be behind the videos, but Fravor described the object as being tictac shaped with a smooth white surface, not a glowing ball of plasma. Also, it doesn

You should definitely check Zig out. It's a relatively simple (compared to D, Rust, C++) language with C-level semantics but more modern syntax. It is designed to be extremely easy to interface with existing C source code, enabling one

Yeah i hadn't really looked into their c++ code when I wrote my comment. it looks like code written by someone who doesn't even know the stack exists. insane

by voldacar 7y ago
for complicated stuff involving multiple threads and shared memory, it's good to plan it out in advance in some way. but you are right that most data can just get stack allocated if you look at their code it's like they have no cl

This is not surprising. Parallel GC will almost always be faster than refcounting. If you wrote a C or C++ program to accomplish this task after carefully planning out exactly when stuff needs to get manually malloced/freed, you could

I have no clue how I've never heard of this - this is really cool and there should be more stuff like it. We should not be in a world where 70s era bureaucratic committees liks iana and icann get to define the internet

Does the current TLD system even make sense? There is a .amazon, a .google, a .cancerresearch, a .sex, a .rich (which costs thousands of dollars btw). Plenty of them such as .io and .tv are all completely untethered from their original mean
