A message format that requires parser to understand both UTF8 and UTF16, cool!

Single pass compiler with back-patching. No intermediate code representation, very simple optimizer (just constant folding and dead code removal). C Preprocessor integrated with pa…

Increasing system's entropy is bad, bad, bad! There's no way back, you know?

“The aspiration is to have a working power plant in time to combat climate change." Let's combat global warming by producing even more heat, converting 40% of it to electricity.

To understand DNS, you must first understand DNS.

Reminds me of dieselgate. "Our product is ok unless operated out of spec" didn't work, iirc.

Loved the part that explains how to prevent your servers from being hacked. You must "defend it" with energy drinks.

Sadly, they miss the important ones. http://noname.c64.org/tracker/manual_online.php

It is common, and you will probably get 2 or 3 counteroffers, but (unless you bluffed) none will make you stay.

Guido said in some interview they used tagged pointers in some project before Python, and it didn't work well. Apparently there is some benefit in "value is always a reference" (le…

That's not weird but pretty common knowledge. IIRC 1-char strings are interned too.

> When the server is done processing a request, the allocator goes out of scope and all memory allocated for that request is deallocated. Forking servers, reinvented.

Python startup latency is horrible, and unfixable. It got much worse in python3 because it loads much more modules (think of all the unicode crap).

String.intern() would suck much less if strings had an "IS_INTERNED" flag which would prevent hashtable lookups for already interned strings. Really sad given the insane overhead J…

Beware: Wikileaks are Russian. She said so.

Likely not, managed code tends to avoid nulls. They are problem in the return path though.

In the time frame spent to test these hacks I would have written a perfect C module that runs circles around it.

Could you elaborate? The Wiki page does not seem to mention any other case of radiation poisoning.
