TIL, thanks. But uh, I expected `JSON.stringify` to throw errors when met with unencodable objects, like Python does. But it silently corrupts the values. A typical JavaScript thing. I also think the automatic conversion of a `Date` to a st

I blame Twitch's laziness. There is a competitor of Twitch in South Korea, namely AfreecaTV, and it is highly profitable. Why is AfreecaTV sustainable whereas Twitch is not? Because Twitch hasn't altered its business model while o

I used to tease the sudden change of Apple's stance on Intel CPUs at the time of the transition. Before the transition, Apple mocked x86 and insisted that PowerPC was indeed much faster than x86. There were even proponents of Apple who

Having a daemon is inherently faster, period. I was disappointed by Podman because almost all operations including `podman ps`, `podman run` were slower than their Docker counterparts. After many releases Podman got faster, but still not on

Reading the comments makes me feel bittersweet. - Many people consider coroutines and green threads to be more or less the same thing, when they both have their pros and cons. - The fact that the omission of iterators is even acceptable in

How could the incident happened in 2021 be revealed in 2023? Do they retain the videos from the surveillance camera for that long?

That 9-hop shortening example is disgusting, I wonder if that could be alleviated by introducing some protocol: 1. Make all shortening services append a `This-is-a-shortening-service: true` header to all the responses they send. 2. When a l

I have been taking screenshots for years, but it developed into a hoarding OCD. And it is ruining my life. My regular life is being interrupted by taking screenshots all the time, so I have relatively less time to work on important things.

FYI, transmission-cli is considered deprecated by the Transmission developers. Using both transmission-daemon and transmission-remote is the recommended approach. Actually, transmission-cli uses transmission-daemon internally and they share

Oh so they're finally releasing a "true" AOT. It was advertised to have been released several years ago but they have continuously pushed back the date. Good to see they're finally delivering it. Also great to see a fell

Wait, so the traditional "use the JavaScript CDN as a cross-site cache" method does not work anymore? How did I not know that!

I remember seeing these kinds of single-file web apps when I used PHP ~15 years ago. It was a good time! Unfortunately, no such culture seems to exist in other web language ecosystems.

We've been suffering from this literally for decades by the dominant Korean search engine, Naver. Now it is time for you to suffer too, westerners!

Unfortunately, the test code belongs to the company I work for so I cannot take it out. It was done to determine what language we should use for an internal tool. I hope to conduct another benchmark one day, publicly this time.

Yeah that's right. I compiled a pattern and matched it against a huge wall of text, measuring elapsed time.

According to my totally unscientific benchmarks, if the performance of Rust's regular expression module were 1x, Go's was 8x and Ruby's was 32x, and Java's was 42x. Using Google's Java regex module improved the spee

Oh the nostalgia. I loved those anime-themed Winamp skins, which were admittedly of bad quality.

Those stalking devices might be harder to detect, but are they as effective as AirTag? IIRC the innovation behind AirTag is that they don't require network connectivity. The devices you mentioned might require cellular network or WiFi,

Python has always been adversarial to the PL communities, as seen in Guido's decision to limit the usefulness of the lambda function. He just didn't like the concept of long anonymous functions. I guess it is the inevitable charac

After reading the initial section I thought this would hook up `isinstance` or something and make all class comparisons equal. But it turned out to be equalizing the instances of the classes. But still, I enjoyed the joke.

That's just the characteristics of your region. In my country, apps go to Android first and then to iOS. It all depends on the market.

That's more to do with Spring, not Java. The compilation time of Java is infinitely faster than that of Rust.
