i do wonder how something like this can be generally implemented. i presume this must only support a subset of SQL/plpgsql, as some things would be.. utterly insane to manage manua…

that's a nice example. on my M4, i measured 3.4s vs. 0.42s. honestly surprised there's ~10x improvement to be found. as you've pointed out, you've literally micro-optimised this - …

it probably shouldn’t be a “release” thing. actually, certainly. i do wonder how many bugs would never have seen the light of day, if someone’s “set” actually turned out to be a se…

huh. very cute. in the past, i had an idea for terser lambda syntax, similar to C#'s expression body functions - which i did end up implementing in clang: auto sum = [](auto a, aut…

you can't be serious, surely? yes, mozilla's TOS update is a bad thing, but switching to chrome (or chromium-based) for it is really cutting your nose to spite your face.

you’re conflating reaction times and latency perception. these are not the same. humans can tell the difference down to 10ms, perhaps lower. if you added 200ms latency to your mous…

what a miss. i’d consider myself a day-to-day c++ engineer. well, because i am. i like lots of things from rust. there’s a few things i don’t. c++ has a lot to learn from rust, if …

friends. you understand that you can just.. take it off, right? fully unscrew the cap then just either continue twisting the cap over the the edge - honestly effortless - or just..…

so, when do you want to die, then? really, i’m not trying to be mean here. you assert life must be finite, and all i’m asking is how finite it should be.

apologies, i wasn't being specific; none of what i said necessitates a CRT display, it was only as an example of how an older technology had less latency. if modern a modern 60Hz L…

you don't need to "beam race" to achieve sub-frame latency - you don't need to be accurate. switching off vsync should, principally, be enough to achieve this. otherwise, yes, mode…

> An application with 10 frames of latency will be faster on a 1 kHz display than a perfectly coded application on a 60 Hz display. thats actually not true. you seem to be implying…

fair enough :) apologies!

correct me if i’m wrong, but i believe the point that is trying to be made is; a system user/admin has an intuition about files. saying that ‘journalctl -f -u’ (fu, indeed :) and w…

yes, that’s what collective health care means, regardless of if it’s state-mandated, or fully private. you, or i, don’t get to decide what’s fair to treat, or who’s deserving of tr…

the (presumably) stateless, serverless function that appears to serve the site has.. crashed? i dunno, i feel like the wording of this error message could be improved :)

only if you want to store them in the open air. vacuum sealing them would obviate the need for an expensive hvac bill. and deep ground is not ridiculous. we’re expecting the storag…

i am quite familiar with compiler internals :) of course, across the TU boundary things get difficult, but i don’t think it’s fair to dismiss LTO entirely (although.. i agree with …

ah, sorry, i didn’t read that correctly. perhaps for values like this you’re fine. i think my point still stands about the reader of a built-in list/sequence type, surely? and, not…

i could be wrong, but i’m reasonably confident that this is UB for even trivial types? someone more knowledgeable with the language lawyering would need to opine one way or the oth…

apologies, perhaps i’m missing something here, having not used cap’n proto in any context at all before. is it not possible to delete the rvalue reference overload of ‘getList’? as…

the optics are already less than ideal for apple. beeper mini dismisses the any technical challenge apple may claim a hurdle to android having iMessage. i don’t doubt this will als…

presumably because OP was traumatised by this interaction with law enforcement that - had things been only subtly different - could have been a catastrophic event in their life. th…

yes, as opposed to the stock market; if i go buy AAPL calls, i can’t expect to manipulate apple’s share price by, say, buying a bunch of iphones. conversely, i can’t buy puts, hopi…
