memcpy() was the best and fastest serializer from the start. It already existed in 1983.

This style of simulating faux-realistic materials (such as glass or aluminum) on the screen looks dated and cheesy now -- (Windows engineering team 2012) https://web.archive.org/we…

Utility-scale solar is very unpopular in Japan. Because most suitable lands of them are densely forested, and installing utility-scale solar systems requires destory the forests. T…

I think Rust is the biggest winner that has from LLM support. When I got an compile error, it is painful without LLM to reverse-thinking how to re-write something and why it needs …

True. The number can be determined at comp-time. Buffer sizes should be computing manually.

I've often thought that if C just had a syntax like Go definding method, C would be much easier to write. uint16_t (MyStruct* s) some_func() { .. } uint16_t MyStruct_some_func(MySt…

Funny trivia. But of course -- there is absolute zero reason to base64 encode ascii text. Evenmore laughable to put Json encoded in base64 text inside regular Json.

The ideal HTML I have in mind is a DOM tree represented entirely in TLV binary -- and a compiled .so file instead of .js. And a unpacked data to be used directly in C programming d…

They skipped iPhone 9 once. So iPhone 17 and going for iPhone 2026 could be better for measuring the age of the device and could be beneficial for consumers -- but what about the O…

I don't see the point - ASCII vs. binary doesn't make any real difference. And there's no an actual unencrypted HTTP/2 traffic, so there's no incentive to censor.

Yup, I don't understand why Google would sponsor McLaren F1 team. They've already done a better promoting Chrome.

No-modularize is strictly good if you can avoid it. Hardcode memory addresses at compile time is simpler and faster.

More than decade ago, I didn't understand an actual value of Lisp, but I remember this song well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HM1Zb3xmvMc

As the name suggests, it's just a Perl alt... everyday chores, data analysis, some automation tools.

If Android had provided an defining UI API like this entirely in C without using Java, Android would have 100% monopolized the mobile OS market. So fast, efficient.

Excellent. If these compiled data structures were the web standard instead of HTML, www would be ridiculously fast.

Why not just use a naive struct from the beginning? memcpy is the fastest way to get serialize into a form that we can use in actual running program.
