Thank you for doing this! I really mean it. We need more developers who care about keeping websites lean and fast. There's no good reason a regular site shouldn't work on GPRS, exc…

1GB RAM per 1TB storage is really only required if you enable deduplication, which rarely makes sense. Otherwise, the only benefit more RAM gets you is better performance. But it's…

ZFS doesn't really need huge amounts of RAM. Most of the memory usage people see is the Adaptive Replacement Cache (ARC), which will happily use as much memory as you throw at it, …

Which practically puts us back into standard time, as things should be

In my experience, writing a few lines to handle errors is really not as big of a deal as a lot of people make it out to be. However, I've seen numerous times how error handling can…

SerenityOS serves as a cool side project for those who like to tinker with OS dev. I don't think it was "born" with any other goals in mind. Neither was their browser project, it j…

This is big news. Defer can simplify control flow a lot, especially in early-return cases like handling errors. No longer do we have to write deeply nested ifs or the madness that …

> maybe today you can still build a win10 binary with a win11 toolchain, but you cannot build a win98 binary with it for sure. In my experience, that's not quite accurate. I'm work…

Strongly agree with this article. It highlights really well why overcommit is so harmful. Memory overcommit means that once you run out of physical memory, the OOM killer will forc…

There's still plenty of mandatory reading. It's not unusual for high schoolers to have to read at least two books per semester. Here's the problem though: It's just too easy to... …

The Plan 9 operating system. It's the closest thing to a Unix successor we ever got, taking the "everything is a file" philosophy to another level and allowing to easily share thos…

> Such laws cannot be enforced. Tech companies can certainly be forced to build surveillance into their chat applications and operating systems. This doesn't have to be about backd…

> It also assumes that the OS doesn't lie to the application when allocations fail. Gotta do the good ol' echo 2 >/proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory and maybe adjust overcommit_ratio a…

Yeah, hosting on or at least tunneling through a commercial IP address is definitely required in order not to be flagged as spam. Personally, I chose the latter option of hosting m…

Unfortunately, Memory64 comes with a significant performance penalty because the wasm runtime has to check bounds (which wasn't necessary on 32-bit as the runtime would simply allo…

Well, sometimes things aren't as amazing as they look on the surface. And it's totally understandable if you don't want to spend the time and effort to solve the problems you menti…

This project is very impressive, see also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45182518

Wow, hats off to you! This is one of the most impressive solo projects I've seen in a while! Making a toy C compiler isn't rocket science, but developing one that's complete and pr…
