The grammar matters also, of course. A pure Python program is going to be much slower than the equivalent Rust program, just because CPython is so slow. I don't know if this does s…

So it went from parsing at 25MiB/s to 115MiB/s. I feel like 115MiB/s is very slow for a Rust program, I wonder what it's up to that makes it so slow now. No diss to the author, goo…

I'm on a M4 Macbook, and I can see it. I'm inclined to totally accept the blog author's experience as true for them, I'd probably experience the same thing.

Tofu's ratio is really good, though? I can get 162kcal/18g of protein tofu here. Anything where P*10 > KCAL is a very good protein source, imo.

I am not, how did they solve that?

I can't edit my comment any longer, but I really like nullprogram.com

void* is basically used for ad-hoc polymorphism in C, and it is a vital part of C programming. void new_thread(void (*run)(void*), void* context); ^- This let's us pass arbitrary s…

No, it's not? Using a VM is one way of preventing buffer overflows, it's not orthogonal.

This is very similar to how Java's object monitors are implemented. In OpenJDK, the markWord uses two bits to describe the state of an Object's monitor (see markWord.hpp:55). On co…

Moxie doesn't want to federate, that's the main issue I believe.

The goal isn't to exchange facts, it's to bond.
