    Java runs at 90% the speed of C for most common benchmarks. It uses 50x the RAM to do so. But you're dead wrong to think java is slow. The only reason physics game engines are writ…

    Consider you can easily emulate Vim inside Emacs but NOT the inverse and you'll understand what those extra cycles do.

    I can't understand why shit like this exists. Anybody who needs a UUID can surely generate their own with one line in any language they choose. It's not like tinyurl where non tech…

    I was in the process of creating my own language in racket. It was going to codify everything I had learned over the years into powerful abstractions and target JavaScript. Halfway…
