If it's `untrusted_filename`, it should at least accept the length of the string as an argument.

Just convert it to a binary data structure suitable for this purpose and use the old-fashioned bsearch. It's so simple that you wouldn't even need SQLite.

It's fun. This new market could become a new source of funding to support the AI bubble.

memcpy() was the best and fastest serializer from the start. It already existed in 1983.

Utility-scale solar is very unpopular in Japan. Because most suitable lands of them are densely forested, and installing utility-scale solar systems requires destory the forests. There are concerns landslides due to reduced water storage fu

I think Rust is the biggest winner that has from LLM support. When I got an compile error, it is painful without LLM to reverse-thinking how to re-write something and why it needs to be written that way.

True. The number can be determined at comp-time. Buffer sizes should be computing manually.

I've often thought that if C just had a syntax like Go definding method, C would be much easier to write. uint16_t (MyStruct* s) some_func() { .. } uint16_t MyStruct_some_func(MyStruct* s) { .. } (I guess I should just use C++.

Funny trivia. But of course -- there is absolute zero reason to base64 encode ascii text. Evenmore laughable to put Json encoded in base64 text inside regular Json.

The ideal HTML I have in mind is a DOM tree represented entirely in TLV binary -- and a compiled .so file instead of .js. And a unpacked data to be used directly in C programming data structure. Zero copy, no parsing, (data vaildation is un

They skipped iPhone 9 once. So iPhone 17 and going for iPhone 2026 could be better for measuring the age of the device and could be beneficial for consumers -- but what about the OS version? No one care that. From an engineering standpoint,

I don't see the point - ASCII vs. binary doesn't make any real difference. And there's no an actual unencrypted HTTP/2 traffic, so there's no incentive to censor.

No-modularize is strictly good if you can avoid it. Hardcode memory addresses at compile time is simpler and faster.

If Android had provided an defining UI API like this entirely in C without using Java, Android would have 100% monopolized the mobile OS market. So fast, efficient.

Excellent. If these compiled data structures were the web standard instead of HTML, www would be ridiculously fast.

Why not just use a naive struct from the beginning? memcpy is the fastest way to get serialize into a form that we can use in actual running program.
