That buying however much of whatever from a single company can be read as "anti-competitive" reflects more on the market, which relies on a single company for its fundamentals, than the buyer. To me it seems that the problem is no

In order to represent your walk vertically in a film, the camera would need to be overhead, directed at the ground (or beneath you, directed upwards). You walk forward from your own perspective, but it's rare from other people's p

The reason why landscape is used in film is not analogy, but the fact that humans move a lot horizontally, almost never vertically. Portrait orientation may be good for portrait photos (although landscape is often also very good, or better,

Is it normal to call a price drop a "crash", even when not talking about stocks? The title and phrases like "DDR4 memory has also suffered price drops" make it sound as if something terrible happened. Or is it just me?

No problem. I like that you chose to go with POSIX Extended Regexes and FAs instead of going the Perl route.

> It looks like we can't outdo C nor GNU in this case. Buffering is the secret, and all the overhead incurred by the kernel throttles our memory access, pipes, pv, and redirection is enough to negate 1.5 GiB/s. On my computer

Russ made a different claim though. He wrote that the backtracking approach is O(2^n), where n is the size of the string matched against, while simulating NFA is O(mn)[1] (not O(n) as the article claims), where m is the length of the regex.

This "threading" approach looks more complicated than the classic NFA->DFA transformation via subset construction. Also, I don't see how this "threading" solves the issue pointed out in the article: > This ba

Oh, wait. You mean that this "cat </dev/urandom >/dev/null" was meant to be running in the background and not be the pipeline which is tested? Ok, my bad for not getting the point.

I don't understand. If you're testing how fast pipes are, then I'd expect you to measure throughput or latency. Why would you measure how fast something unrelated to pipes is? If you want to measure this other thing on the ot

> They all go slightly faster if you localize the reference to `io.write` No noticeable difference for LuaJIT, which makes sense, since JIT should figure it out without help.

"Web only for documents, not apps" appeals to me. However, it's not a question of just shaving off features. Some features of the web are extraneous for that purpose, and some are missing. For example, rendering maths on the

Speaking from my experience kayaking, mosquitos are a tiny bit more frequent close to water than say in the middle of a forest, but not much. The real multiplying factor are swampy terrains, particularly close to places like water locks[1].

For me the most frequent source of freezes was Tramp. It led me to ditch Emacs for VSCode (with the remote editing extension) at least for my dayjob (I still use Emacs for my own projects). Tramp is an official built-in package, so it'

Sounds like a recipe for alcohol addiction and obesity. Otherwise maybe I'd try that. ;)

On the other hand, I can't imagine an average user finding anything useful in Google after searching for "linux files crashed". And then when communicating with fellow humans: - Files has a nice UI - Huh? Or worse: "Web

Unfortunately. Similar to Haskell. While with Rust it can be justified by its novelty and status as a meme, Haskell has been here since 1990. Maybe it's because it's hard to attract talent in that space without offering niche, coo

I think it's more productive not to assume a religious stance on whether compiler has bugs one way or the other. If there is something wrong, better to read the language spec, the ABI spec and the machine code the compiler generated an

Amdahl's law applies regardless of whether you use shared memory synchronization, CSP or Actors. CSP and Actors are easier to think about, but they aren't inherently faster.

Is there a tool other than dd that would allow me to skip n bytes from a file and then read m bytes? I mean one tool, not a combination of head and tail, which is too elaborate for my taste.

I don't write web services, so it's hard for me to answer about axum, but if I were to speculate, I'd point out that PHP, Ruby and Python have good integrations with tools like Apache and nginx, while AOT compiled languages l

Another example, particularly painful to me personally: Assassin's Creed. The team behind the game changed and instantly from my favourite games of all time it turned to creating games I can't suffer through playing. There are man
