I think you've linked to a private repository.

Fair enough, would love to see another writeup on the performance you observe even if it fails - in practice numbers are hard to come by.

I've recently been going down the rabbit hole of creating a "fast start dev env" and it's interesting to see how this article differs from other approaches (codesandbox has some fa…

I'm super interested to hear more on anything you can share about your projects, or the niche of gov projects you're aware of - I've been doing some work with gov and haven't seen …

One annoying part of using chroot if you're creating them on the fly is teardown - you have to manually invoke umount, and also take care to get this right for partially created ch…

As a number of comments have noted, there are a bunch of different axes that chroot could be 'better' on - e.g. security and sandboxing. I wrote https://github.com/aidanhs/machroot…

Out of curiosity, what would you say the current state of the art is for full compilable decompilation? This is something I have a vague interest in but I'm not involved enough in …

Interesting, that's helpful, thanks - so with the eventual arrival of memory64 and assuming I only wanted to target desktop systems and assuming browser implementations permit larg…

All the emulation of desktop machines in WASM I've seen so far have been for x86 - do you think there are significant additional hurdles for x86_64? Or is it just a matter of time?…

Right, because Anyscale found a niche that distributed compute matters in (AI) and built great libraries/hosted platforms/services around that. I would venture that the money they …

The company I work at (Hadean) used to have this as a product - think erlang-like multi machine IPC, with automatic acquisition of cloud resources and language integration for Rust…

First a minor quibble: if you're talking about 'Nix data', then starting the conversation by talking about 'Nix-the-language' is rather misleading. That aside, Nix allows you to cr…

Can you elaborate on what you're getting at? Syntax-wise it's about as similar to JSON as Erlang expressions are (i.e. superficially similar in some cases). Semantics-wise I've per…

Of my series of PRs, I suspect the third (i.e. https://github.com/zellij-org/zellij/pull/3043 ) is most likely to have an effect. But if it does it'd only be as a side effect unfor…

I didn't believe you that it was broken, but you're right - very disappointing. For anyone interested, the bug for it being is at [1] (reported mid 2021). The build failure is easy…

Hadean | Rust Engineer | London (flexible/hybrid) or REMOTE (UK) | Full-Time Hadean are backed by the likes of Epic Games. Our speciality is in spatial compute - we’ve built a mass…

(for context - I'm not interested in first class node support) This seems pretty cool. I particularly like how 'gradual' it seems to be relative to things like Bazel, i.e. you can …

Readers please note that sccache isn't just for Rust, and isn't just caching! It has a number of features, combining capabilities of ccache/distcc/icecream for C, C++ and Rust...al…

I recently refactored some traits that had a lot of repetitive noise in the generic type parameters (which end up being reflected in function signatures etc). I went about this wit…

In the context of the GDPR, I just want to remind people of this thread where a HN user invokes their rights in order to make Spotify back down on a change that would have locked u…

This is exactly what I was hoping for! If you just copied and pasted this into the documentation directly, that'd be more than enough. Thanks for writing it out so clearly and crea…

First off, I love zstd and thanks for your work - I've used it multiple times with great success. My question is...what's up with zstd compression levels? It seems to be impossible…

(disclosure: I don't use tasker and am not associated with them, I do work on something in the similar space of "compute without servers") First, you're coming at this from the wro…

In the concrete context of the post you're replying to, you seem to be saying that women are 'vulnerable people'? I'd suggest picking a definition of 'vulnerable people' that doesn…
