I really adore the demo scene vibes I'm getting from https://block.xyz/ . You can say what you want about megaholding corporate conglomerates, but this has so much more style than abc.xyz.

If you have fond memories of Clonk give this a quick try: http://webclonk.flgr.me/ (WASD + Mouse) Sadly I never got around to implementing more of it though.

Hm, unless I miscalculated the bit rate they use for the Simpsons demo is about equivalent to YouTube's 240p rendition (which uses 257 kbps; they use 250 kbps). Looking at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1nmZq1KEHk at

Having spent a lot of time working on making the backend compute this with very low latency, you wouldn't believe how happy finally seeing this become a reality on the actual site would make me. :) Thank you /a lot/ for worki

There's also software to read the measurements it makesover USB, but I haven't personally used that: https://github.com/huhamhire/co2-monitor-exporter

I'm impressed by how well http://webclonk.flgr.me/ runs in Firefox on my 5 years old MBP, even when zooming out quite a lot. This used to run much much better in Chrome than in Firefox. Mozilla must have done a ton of

There's some context missing here. AFAIK the author of the repositories was specifically doing micro-benchmarks here to inform the design of his https://github.com/cornelk/hashmap library. I think for that use cas

Or phrased differently: There are different kinds of art. You might not like each and every single type of art, but they're still part of art.

There are different categories for speedruns. This is any%. There's usually a "no major glitches" category, which shows more of the main game. In SMW this is called either 96 exits or 11 exits. Those are actually the default

I think that's not any more fair than a direct charge. Or am I missing something? From what I've heard well off families in Beijing will then just have multiple cars, one with an odd license plate and one with an even one.

Another use case I had was embedding this into a graph heavy MediaWiki with convenient markup. That means the graphs are very easy to edit and will be updated after each edit with no backend magic required.

That image next to "Alexa helps you at your desk" is 17.5 MB as of now at at a resolution of 5720 x 3240. Pretty impressive to see an image loading line by line like back in the days. It will be interesting to see what WeWork ends

I was wondering if they might not be baiting Google into doing that. If they start removing content critical of them from Google Docs that's another big story.

I don't know; personally I feel like the scale here is much too low to be relevant. Also I think not investing the time to tune sort and dist keys makes the comparison meaningless. But maybe that just becomes meaningful at larger data

This sounds super interesting; a bunch of questions: Did you just sent multiple images concatenated into the output stream, including file headers? And Mosaic would actually replace the first image with the second and so on? Was the CGI scr

Sounds like the author did — http://www.lihaoyi.com/post/BenchmarkingScalaCollections.htm... Notably Vector index access takes 4,260,000 ns for a vector with 1,048,576 elements instead of measured 0 ns for native array

This is why I've never liked stating that something has "run-time of O(log(n))" since that's rarely true — the assumption for that is that all machine instructions take pretty much the same time, which is not the case. C

Expanded mode in psql is a way to output the results of a query if the output is too wide to fit in the screen when shown as a table. This can be toggled by \x on or \x off. [...] In pgcli, we have the ability to do this but t

I think in order to really reap the benefits of this you'll want to actually reorganize the in-memory layout of the trees in order to make sure all elements needed for the comparison end up in the same cache line. I haven't been f
