Sqlite is essentially a user space queryable file system and it can be faster than writing to file system directly while working with small files.

As someone who spent a few years working on a compiler in this space — it’s tough, but are the results of instant startup and immediately decent performance without warm-up satisfy…

I usually use center 2/3 of 27'' screen with just a single top-level window for a similar reason. That puts it up to around 20.5'' and around 6:5 aspect ratio. I don't find having …

For me Mathematica is much more akin to numpy+sympy+matplotlib+... with absolutely crazy amount of batteries included in a single coherent package with IDE and fantastic documentat…

Dimming reduces total brightness over time and shifts color balance away from neutral. Latest "Pro" displays from Apple now have built-in support for calibration but only with high…

Don't get me wrong it's a fantastic product and great price point, but the only thing it makes me think of is the complete failure of iPadOS. Ultra portable MacBook with is A18 wit…

I might be the only one, but it's still to this date (and dating all the way back to 2014 with the first iMac 5k display) Apple is the only company that truly gets HIDPI desktop di…

Apart from prioritizing FFI (like Java/Scala, Erlang/Elixir), the other two easy ways to bootstrap an integration of a new obscure or relatively new programming language is to focu…

Great summary and I think your argument is sound.

No pun intended but it's indeed an unfortunate choice of words on my part.

For example let's say I want to go to display settings from search. I enter 'monitor' in search since I forgot how it's called. First results: accessibility, privacy and security, …

Have any studies been done on the use of newer or less popular programming languages in the era of LLMs? I'd guess that the relatively low number of examples and the overall amount…

I just can't believe how dysfunctional something as basic as search over settings is now.

Some details on the Swiss side: There are two variations of the B permit one can get. An unrestricted B permit isn't tied to a specific employer and provides a path toward permanen…

For anyone interested in playing with distributed systems, I'd really recommend getting a single machine with latest 16-core CPU from AMD and just running 8 virtual machines on it.…

Very cool project and I think you are doing it right. Best of luck with getting it off the ground!

Hey, as someone who spent a few years reimplementing another language trying to decouple it from JVM (Scala JVM -> Scala Native), some pitfalls to avoid: - Don't try to provide bac…

But is it illegal to provide tools for decompilation? As in shooting people is illegal, but selling guns is not.

I update largely based on non performance criteria: - new display tech - better wireless connectivity - updated protocols on ports (e.g., support for higher res displays and newer …

Relativity is so hard to wrap you head around.

You should check out Three Body Problem (the book, not the mediocre netflix adaptation).

Is there a science fiction universe that explores a hypothetical warp drive that lets you travel very far relatively quickly, but the travel is only possible with simultaneous back…

In my opinion Go is the most Pascal like language that exists today due to fast compilation speed and extremely opinionated pursuit of oversimplifying the language at the detriment…
