NOTE re2 is not the same as re2c here re2 is Google's safe regexp engine that works as a state-machine and isn't suspectible to exponential runtime attacks that can affect backtracking engines, it trades some performance for guara

Not sure username checks out? :P Joking aside, you're right, often it's almost easier in recursive cases to just go with flat object lists and keeping identities on objects and keep parent id's around. In my view, React is a

How much of your API is dependant on GIT like semantics and how much could work with "plain files" storage? It's neat to be able to transplant a CMS on top of other services that don't necessarily deploy by CI pipes, I m

I did also, many coming from classic programming that hasn't touched upon functional ways of thinking usually struggle since they're prone to shortcuts whereas React really likes you to keep everything as transformations (or as so

Still not the language, would be interesting to know why someone pushed this to POSIX and didn't propose it for the language. Today Windows is the biggest non-POSIX system remaning afaik (apart from Android and consoles) but back in th

It's historically a regular expression compiler for C (hence re2c), C (and C++ until recently) didn't include a Regular Expression engine. I used an earlier version of re2c for one project since it was a far easier to get started

Like the article says, it's protection from harvest-now-break-later. Apple users and communications are today a state-secret affair as shown by the impact of NSO/Pegasus. So even if Google,IBM,et al _might_ have approached feasibi

It seems a bit like car leasing, providers gets a bit of discounts for their volume purchases and customers pays a premium (that is still affordable) compared to just taking the entire deprecation cost themselves. The provider then still ha

As a young gun coming from working in games before touching "internet"/"enterprise" software back around 2006 I had an eye on performance matters and all the early Google papers caught my eye (esp as I was on a proj

If you click learn-more on the linked page the first section ends with this: ".... I was able to explore my application in ways I didn't think was possible. Yet, I always missed what I was used to in PHP with the Laravel Debugbar.

This probably needs far more attention than it's given. A half-wild guess here is that because viruses uses various ways to hide themselves the anti-virus software probably scans W^X codepages on changes, so anything JIT compiled (all

Impressive piece of work, in some ways it seems harder than making a full machine emulator since you're in the same address space and can get the emulator clobbered by stray writes. Cute trick with the N^X check to catch callbacks (too

Browsed quickly and only saw the project commits as of late, but maybe cloning and checking more closely will reveal more authors. Will be an L-GPL bonanza in that case.

Could be that the CUDA backend has seen far more specialization optimizations whereas the seeingly fairly fresh HIP backend hasn't had as many developers looking at it, in the end a few more control instructions on the CPU side to go t

Stadia was dead-on-arrival (regardless of any technical merits), the uncertainty, money and amount of work required on games leaves developers skittish about unreliable platforms (or companies). Especially with something as a new techonolog

I think a huge factor you don't account for here is that some of these technological improvements might imply a great-filter that we really haven't passed yet as humans, and the negative effects would affect most similarly expansi

I think the QPS dream is something that was teased at to show feasibility (and scaling up services on the cloud IS simple when needed). I think the bread and butter for the big clouds however are customers like the shop I'm at (see sib

There's a VERY good reason why JS runtimes use JIT's, it's more or less impossible to properly fully type a JS program w/o leaving runtime holes. If you restrict yourself to a subset or are willing to risk incompatibliti

You still need a full JS(x) parser (and lexer) though since / symbols are contextual (as are < in JSX). / and < in operator positions becomes operators, whilst / in plain JS in a value position becomes the start of an r
