Indeed. That strong rule at the end where he want to memoize everything made me laugh out loud. What could ever go wrong with such a rule..

All law enforcement is by definition politically motivated because it is the politicians that write the laws.

It is using Boehm/libgc. Just a simple webserver should not have the described behavior. The GC is not incremental though, so having a big heap would trigger it. But that is typically not the case for the described use case. Likely the

Who thought it was a good idea to have scrolling change the page history?

It probably won't, because it is irrelevant. What matters is that it is clear beyond reason that VISA have a lot of power in the marketplace. What the courts will decide if they used that power to do naughty things to further cement th

The question is not how much better it is to pay by debit card than cash, but how high the margins are compared to the costs. If the margins are high there may be possible to improve the competition of the market.

You don't need a cookie popup for managing login sessions. Things that are essential to providing the feature don't need permission. At least based on the so called cookie law. There is also GDPR, but you'd typically agree to

I've also written that kind of comments, and then promptly had it refactored by people not reading comments.

Io uring have several use cases. You describe one, but it also enables things like no blocking file IO, which nothing else provides in a useful manner. Ruby can be slow in certain scenarios, but not slow enough that things like that doesxnt

It is interesting to compare the effort required to interact with C libs in Ruby and in Crystal. I wrote https://github.com/yxhuvud/ior a couple of years ago and it is roughly on the same level of abstraction as this l

Dunno, but being able to do nonblocking file io could still be useful, I suppose.

There may be, but now you are assuming energy is what is needed and not the hydrogen itself. Hydrogen is used in lots of industrial processes and is really hard to store in bulk.

Keeping things cool at that depth also seems like a challenge.

Then refactor your app to make it easy. If it is hard in your tool, choose a different tool that make it easy.

While I think of things in a defined order, I also think in sets. If I grab a bunch of peanuts, I don't visualize grabbing every single peanut one by one, I visualize getting a bunch at the same time.

In my experience it is not the amount of tabs that is the problem but that certain tabs (ie reddit) sometimes start to misbehave and eat way too much, so I tend to list the tabs by memory usage and handle it on a by tab-basis.

They can't do that or it will break all java programs in existence. Enforcing that would force all programs to be rewritten to handle null responses everywhere. With this addition they can apply the forced null handling to only operati

No, not at all as QE didn't change the amount in circulation. From an inflationary standpoint they are mostly a no-op.

What needs to be pointed out is that the rent and spread is the same thing in this equation. Before the rise of HFT actual people performed these functions, and then the spread/rent-seeking was a lot higher.

Or even worse, tests that test implementation details that doesn't matter for the actual outcome.

They don't. The best way to visualize that, that I've seen is the DHAT tool of Valgrind, that basically builds a trie from the roots based on how much allocations happens in them (the tool measures allocations, but the visualizati

How can someone write an article on that theme without ever mentioning self-publishing? It may not be super big in mainstream books yet, but it is getting pretty common for genre literature to first publish and build an audience on somethin

It is actually more likely it is the opposite, that it got temporarily boosted to get exposure, and then fell back as interest vaned. If mods want it gone, then it will be gone.
