Ok. So the P4 language is not competing with it, and could be made to compile to ebpf.

Does ebpf have a programming language? I've seen blog posts about writing ebpf programs with Zig, Rust, C++, C at least.

Ada and C++ are worlds apart, how is it possible to come so close as to be "just syntax" with static analyzers and their known limitations? Unless we are talking about all programming languages being "just syntax" for a

The safety issue or comparison against C/C++ was not mentioned in the submission. So I don't follow why the protest against replacements for Haskell programs, based on a safety argument.

Are you implying that Rust is only / mostly used as a replacement for unsafe C/C++, and Rust programs should always be evaluated in the context of this choice?

100% handled with N*2 would be hard realtime.

Indeed, Python is one of the most well behaved scripting languages for WebAssembly, and people were running in browser for a good while already with WebAsembly predecessors (emscripten and asm.js).

That linked survey didn't include their definition. But young children are one big group that comes to mind.

That percentage is of "consumers", might not include the entire population.

It's subjective, like in high end audio.

By JS do you mean Node here? Node has both blocking and async versions of a lot of IO operations. But async IO is more commonly used certainly. The real question might be whether a thread pool backed async IO implementation makes your progr

It's not immediately apparent what platforms this is for. In the releases there's at least Linux binaries available.

Most human interaction where videoconferencing applies happens in small groups.

Also the glossy mag articles don't get written about the actors who fail or struggle with it. Or drop out of acting with long term weight/diet/eating disorder problems as a result. Survivor bias.

Bodybuilders by definition are self-selected subset of people who can consistently apply high self discipline and dedicate a lot of energy and willpower on that. I think it's pretty safe to count them as outliers when looking at soluti

It's targeting small FPGAs, comparisons to full custom designs wouldn't be very fair.

It depends on the phone. Lots of problems with eg the COVID-19 exposure notification apps where firmware updates from Android OEMs were needed to whitelist the apps, the user accessible background settings weren't enough to keep them w

Pygame still has no GPU/3d API support. But it can leverage NumPy arrays IIRC so that's accelerated (compared to pure Python code at least). At some point we'll have to migrate to new terms for "in hardware" for off

HTTPS guarantees a higher level of security than "intranet", it works against on-path adversaries and provides end-to-end confidentiality & integrity & authenticity, plus provides forward security.

If you look closer at the list, the difference in completed tertiary degrees (against many other countries too) comes from the youngest age bracket. It's probably because in the US people tend to have short university educations that t

Pretty gloomy view! Taxing fossils yields revenue that has to be used for thngs like income transfers or breaking dependency on fossils to offset these steps back.

by zurn 6y ago
There are 2 scenarios: 1. We drastically reduce fossils using regulation / legislation, in which case they become harder to get (eg more expensive) than the alternatives for most users. 2. We don't reduce fossils, in which case we

It's interesting that this execution speed optimization technique has adopted the name traditionally used in altogether other meanings (like the quote about a program's data structures being more important than the code, or how FP

Yep Delphi 1.0 was launched in the mid-90s and had a good run for some time after that.

Yep and on the dynamic side there were also Erlang, Python, Lua, Lisp, etc.
