I did check this out. The shell, perl and python are likely for scripting and not used during runtime. TCL is likely some form of dynamic scripting. I think we also have to be honest about what the project here is too, it's not to have

Maybe I'm just old and moany, and I need to step aside for bigger and better things such as Rust. But. Now rather than needing to understand just C to work on Git/kernel, you now need to also know Rust. The toolchain complexity is

In theory you should be able to use TCC to build git currently [1] [2]. If you have a lightweight system or you're building something experimental, it's a lot easier to get TCC up and running over GCC. I note that it supports arm,

I have noticed Google sites showing what looks like some form of memory leak. Typically it's only Microsoft websites doing this.

Yeah exactly, sometimes I just give up entirely. If it's a podcast I might persist, otherwise it's just not worth it. The compromise for Google would be to limit ad-blocker users to a reduced quality version to save on bandwidth..

For quite a few people, they would have had to manually pull in an updated ad-blocker change. This would be the case if they run the source release, or have disabled updates.

The people using ad-blockers were not watching ads, so it would not make a difference to revenue streams. If anything, profit would go up because Youtube server capacity is not being used as much by ad-block users.

There is middle-ground: anti- ad-blocker changes cause a large number of ad-blockers to fail entirely. It would make sense too, Youtube wouldn't care to make their videos viewable to a large number of ad-blockers, and ad-revenue would

Very cool work, and the write-up is also great. Personally I want to see something that isn't dependant on a depleting level of stock, ideally something open source. Otherwise the development investment just doesn't seem worth it.

I think the idea is that it doesn’t matter if it takes billions of gates to achieve, the point is that it can do it very fast. If we thought a table sized FPGA could do it, a state actor would most definitely build one.
