Since the cpu always accesses a full cache line (64 bytes) at a time, you might as well search the entire cache line (it’s practically free once the data is on-cpu). So I’d like to try a ‘binary’ search that tests all the values in the ‘mid

I’m surprised how many places in the world measure rain in percentage chance. Must be a metropolitan concept. Here in Denmark, weather reports estimate mm/hr - the amount of rain. Maybe it’s our agricultural inheritance?

Interesting. When you give a third-party access to your GitHub repositories, you also have to trust that the third-party implements all of GitHub’s security policies. This must be very hard to actually assume.

Unfortunately that’s the case because large US-based companies can leverage their existing global sales / marketing / governance setup to rationalize very high exit valuations. In the EU we don’t have the large software shops that

Copenhagen’s sewage system was built in the 1850s and it was indeed considered to build a two-pronged solution. There was much resistance against this because it would eliminate a whole industry of “night men” (poop collectors), as well as

Coroutines are great in a single threaded environment. But if you mix them with threads - even behind the scenes - there will be dragons. Erlang solves that problem with proper light weight isolated processes.

In a modern JIT with dynamic decompilation you can do these things in place, because the compiler essentially has global knowledge. The only real issue is to define the semantics (and then implement it of course). Objective-C is AOT compile

It’s easier when you write your application in Elixir or Erlang. Those are practically DSLs for state machines that also double as general purpose programming languages.

Even in Denmark where the political system is much more cooperative than in the US, politics is still a “dirty job” full of spin and personal sacrifice, exposure etc. As a result many good people would never put it on themselves to enter po

Netflix only uses amazon for the “control plane” - ie the “web app” you’re navigating when using the Netflix app. The actual delivery of media happens via their own CDN (of bare-metal servers.)

How is elastic (the company) going to make a business going forward? I would expect that selling these enterprise add-ons (or similar ones) is a significant part of their revenue.

GDPR applies to anyone processing personal data about a subject who is in the EU. His or her citizenship does not matter. So you can just go to Europe and make your claim from there. https://gdpr-info.eu/art-3-gdpr/

LLVM IR is a generalized assembly language whereas JVM byte code is quite specific to the Java language, i.e., it deals with objects and classes. This causes all kinds of troubles for someone wanting to translate other languages to the JVM.

It seems to me that Dart would be a more obvious choice should Google choose to push a new application development language for the Android platform. It's closer to JavaScript and has more GUI/visually-oriented libraries. Plus,

Indeed, it would be nice to have an EFL: Elixir Flavoured Lisp. (Lazy) Streams and clojure'ish protocols (lispy virtual methods) makes a big difference in abstraction. Erlang as it is, supports ADTs but not object abstraction (i.e. di
