It's a bank in Europe

The Rust ownership model prevents use after free. This type of a bug would not compile.

Just when you think they've reached the bottom, they just keep digging.

Apple might just win the AI race without even running in it. It's all about the distribution.

jemalloc 5.2.1 vs mimalloc v3.2.8 in Rust software processing hundreds of Terabytes. Could not measure a meaningful difference, but mimalloc would release freed memory to the OS a …

AI seems to work a lot better once you acquire some AI equity, you go from not working at all to AI writing all the code. /s

I use the slice::windows for that.

Every Rust SIMD article should mention the .chunks_exact() auto vectorization trick by law.

I'm saying it's not good enough to write code yet, but good at explaining code. If it can't that means I messed up and I need to make it clearer. Once it's explanation and my meani…

Early in 1999 my 1st build was a Celeron 300A on Asus P2B-LS overclocked to 450. Later upgraded to 1.4Ghz and 512MB ECC RAM. Much later running FreeBSD as a home server probably ti…

It's decent at explaining my code back to me, so I can make sure my intent is visible within code/comments/tracing messages. Not too bad at writing test cases either. I still write…

Been doing Rust lambdas for 4 years now, Rust is absurdly fast, especially when compared to non compiled languages. If anything, Rust is even faster than those benchmarks in real w…

I got over 20 years of sane, reliable and consistent computing from the FreeBSD Project, thank you.

FreeBSD on bare metal hooked up to a nice network.

Tier 3 is max official

I prefer developing Rust on FreeBSD, memory allocator, scheduler, network stack, kqueue, dtrace and other instrumentation are all superior than the Linux counterparts. What's missi…

My Retina MacBook Pro lasted over a decade, that's 200$ a year plus $50 battery replacement and $8 speaker. It still runs fine. Macs are an absurd value/quality for money. If M ser…

This, fsync() data corruption, BitterFS issues, lack of Audit on io_uring, triplicated EXT2,3,4 code bases. For the past 20 years, every time I consider moving mission critical dat…

AGI is still a decade away, and always will be.

At least it's not Broadcom

Well, when you have a bad idea you want to implement but don't want to take responsibility for it, you keep on hiring consultants until you hear what you want to hear. Quality of t…

If PHP is a Corolla, whats a Land Cruiser then? Rust?

Common Crawl delivers the data as bz2. Indeed I store intermediate data in zstd with ZFS.
