> Together with the author's distaste for Rust As someone who understand the sentiment, I wouldn't call it distaste for Rust. It feels more as Rust not being the right tool for the…

Well if anything take as a compliment. As a C, C++ (and some Rust) who lately is enjoying Zig, I think Zig is the only programming language positioned to convince system programmin…

We are in the "system engineering territory" and as such it might have more to do with the way the runtime is designed and how the javascript native runtime does things than the co…

My take on this as someone that professionally coded in C, C++, Go, Rust, Python (and former darlings of the past) is that Zig gives you the sort of control that C does with enough…

I worked on something in this space[1], using a heavily modified Chrome browser years ago, but I consider I was too early and I bet something in this lines (probably simpler) will …

I like your comment because it really make the root point here more evident.. Different strategies with different outcomes, it's hard to compare anything against the US which is an…

One of the reasons films are popular is by reinforcing a pavlovian behavior, where the movie industry learn what people like to see and give them that in return in a formulaic mann…

Watching pre-code hollywood you can see how the movies from the US from that era were not far away from the european movies in terms of brightness. Once i knew about this i underst…

FreeBSD have a lower memory footprint and their network (now together with their filesystem) make it a better server than Linux if you want a better use of your network bandwidth. …

Now that you are saying this.. take a look everywhere, it's all like this.. every country turned into the worst versions of themselves, but even the worst of UK its kind of not bad…

it just took me to scroll down on this same thread to find one sample > * 11 hours ago | parent | prev | next [–] > Rust will quickly replace C in the kernel, I have no doubt about…

> You are fighting an imaginary opponent. Yes, i'm sure there's an imaginary opponent downvoting my comment. Also there's a lot into my comment, and people are not even noticing it…

Your example is quite funny and also represents how i would approach the matter of becoming a linux kernel developer. Even if C is not my primary language of choice, i would defini…

i was born in a city near a german colony in the south of Brazil where a lot of germans from the 20's, 30's and later 40's arrived (which is unusual giving german colonies in Brazi…

I think Gemini will have people following it and developing for it, but i think it could have been a little more ambitious and also took tech history a little bit more serious as t…

I guess its all coming down to mnemonics, aiding our memories and communicating. Sure this is the "state of the art", but despite the fact that pure language notations might be eve…

> The point is that a lot of sites out there don't need anything more than the web tech of 2 decades ago. With more people being aware of that and using browsers like this, the Goo…

The problem is: who's gonna use it? Sure, it's good to have more options but, the deploy base of browsers like Chrome are massive and IE6 only lost its position by being careless a…

I've have a answer to this same thread specifying something i'm working on, so in case you are curious, you can have more info by reading the details i gave in the other answer, an…

I've built something akin to this, but with the idea of applications distributing API`s where the databases are also torrented but working behind the api's, so that developers can …

With COVID and the rise of remote working there are a whole lot of companies where the developers are the asset, the commodity, where those companies are just the middle-man receiv…

Is RT Linux a good (or at least a good enough) option for realtime OS's compared to others who where designed as RT kernels from the start?

It's there. For instance if you want to retain a reference to a 'WebFrame' for instance, you can create a wrapper object which is the one you directly control the lifetime and have…

Foe anyone interested, there was a port of Webkit/Blink where the web objects retained by javascript are garbage collected outside of V8, using blink GC to destroy those objects. T…
