Seconded - those RealTek dongles are no good. For my Macs, the IOCrest USB4 adapters with the AQC113 chipset have been rock-solid and can saturate my 10Gbe network. They do run hot…

I bought one of these as soon as I heard about it ($74 from eBay) and tested it against my USB-4 AQC113 mainstays ($87, IO CREST brand on Amazon), from my MBP. The new RTL-based ad…

This paper missed the state of the art!!! This concerns unsigned division by a 32 bit constant divisor. Compilers routinely optimize this to a high-multiply by a "magic number" but…

I was curious how defer is implemented. `defer` in Go is famously function-scoped, not lexically-scoped. This means that the number of actively-deferred statements is unbounded, wh…

Thank you for flagging this, that definitely shouldn't be happening. Possibly we have an over-zealous spam filter. If you and your friend are open to it, please email me at pca@[co…

Why would an allocation require an atomic write for a reference count? Swift routinely optimizes out reference count traffic.

That's exactly what affine / linear types do.

JS (when using ints, which v8 does) is the same in this respect.

"and a MacBook Air M4 starts at $1,099 against a capable Windows laptop at around $400" Pardon?

The “tangle of spheres and circles” is probably a reference to the Hopf fibration.

Except 91.

Extraordinary project. I had several questions which I believe I have answered for myself (pizlonator please correct if wrong): 1. How do we prevent loading a bogus lower through m…

What's interesting about it is that it supports SPR AVS, which is a new USB power delivery spec. I'm not aware of any other chargers that support this. https://www.chargerlab.com/c…

Doesn't every WASM program have to carry its own malloc/free today?

You're right, thank you for the correction.

My favorite FP Fun Fact is that float comparisons can (almost) use integer comparisons. To determine if a > b, reinterpret a and b as signed ints and just compare those like any ol…

Affine types, variance, higher-rank trait bounds, phantom data, MaybeUninit, and the whole macro and proc-macro systems are some examples of concepts that I found to be challenging…

LLVM's CMake build has had lots of love poured into it.
