    I had tried chimera-linux with dinit (on a VM with GNOME desktop) it was a good experience while it lasted and loved the TL; DR that chimera writes and it was DIY distro which was …

    DuckDB does have ACID guarantees and transactions but I'd not be surprised if they are rarely used (if at all). Ref: https://duckdb.org/docs/sql/statements/transactions In the conc…

    I had been only following this language with some interest, I guess this was born in gitlab not sure if the creator(s) still work there. This is what I'd have wanted golang to be (…

    I guess linked lists as they are are very useful for implementing queues (particularly those that feed thread pools) where-in the costs of growable array is not needed and the cach…

    What you say is true, but that is how insurance works - you pay a premium for "What if something unexpected happens", there is a 9 nines chance that it'd not happen but still we ke…

    While I tend to agree to the conclusion on premature optimization - I disagree with the assumption that it is premature for most startups. In fact it's a reasonable insurance for s…

    Hoping this release will bring the below advantages. 1. A statically compiled language with GC-d runtime, which compiles quicker than golang 2. Something that brings algebraic effe…

    Agree that Java is pretty good with records / sealed types / loom, but one nice thing about the Oracle Java team is they do not add half baked features (primarily since they have t…

    Thanks for taking the time to reply - yes in fact seastar does not use io_uring but it's rust equivalent glommio does use it (IIRC it is based on io_uring). Any reasons for using c…

    I guess the Structured Concurrency JEP below addresses the problems you'll get to solve. It'll enable things like AND / OR combinations of virtual threads which IMHO looks like a b…
