Go has a heavy runtime, including both a garbage collector and a userland scheduler. Those features both make it inappropriate for some applications where you would use c, and also make calling (and especially being called from) foreign cod

42 videos on his car review channel plus 13 videos on his main channel (a few might be crossposted) plus a couple tesla reviews from several years earlier than the others. So 50+.

it's maybe negligible compared to the code-size bloat of web applications, but delivering large libraries over the network with only limited caching is less than ideal

At least in English, typographic conventions have historically equated underlining with italics, and the reason the underscore key is present on your keyboard is because it was used on typewriters to format text that would have been italici

The surprising behavior was that the child process received the configured signal not when the process that created it exited, but rather when the specific thread that called fork(2) exited. The parent process was an event loop based py

I had a hell of a time a few months ago debugging why my child processes were dying, before learning that PDEATHSIG=9 (don't ask) kills child processes when the thread that created them in the parent process exits. My debugging was n

I'm quite nearby to Scott in social space, and no, I don't think it's just "never come up." It's a very highly selected scene.

I really appreciate apps that open new windows where it makes sense, but I'm pretty sure the reason it died out is because people started using too many windows for conventional floating window managers to handle. I'm not sure if

A goroutine really is implemented as a coroutine though. It's just that without this runtime optimization, there hasn't been a way to interact with them without letting a multithreaded scheduler manage their execution. I don'

This is an interface that can be implemented in terms of goroutines and channels, but can also be implemented with a lower-overhead scheduler tweak. The article shows how it could be implemented using goroutines and channels, and then repor

Kakoune is scripted over IPC, not bash scripts. The configuration language has some built in functionality for embedding bash scripts, and for smaller plugins or one-off personal customization, yeah you can do everything in a bash script. B

I see a lot of the pricey functionality they packed into this thing as about making it less onerous to put on. People need to actually decide to put it on to do stuff that they could do with their existing devices. There's one unavoi

You can sideload UTM if you sign it with your own developer key, and run VMs with JIT-based acceleration. It’ll sometimes get killed by the OS without much you can do about it though.

I don’t know the details around this, but it seems like it would be near impossible to get 100% ethical sourcing, because no matter how good your process of vetting suppliers is, at Starbucks scale, you’re going to get fraud. A shady suppli

For anyone price-sensitive, I highly recommend getting the cheapest 88-key hammer-action keyboard you can find and hooking it up to Pianoteq Stage rather than buying a dedicated digital piano. Exception if you're going to travel with i
