Google claims "On average, EV batteries weigh around 454 kg" ... pretty heavy stuff to carry around.

This 2011 addition to the XZ Utils Wikipedia page is interesting because a) why is this relevant, b) who is Mike Kezner since he's not mentioned on the Tukaani project page ( https://tukaani.org/about.html ) under "

Ah of course, that makes sense, thanks. In their comparison, perhaps they should still mention that just to clear up any confusion.

They mention https://pola.rs/ and highlight how it has the exact same properties (out of core etc) but don't include it in benchmarks and no mention on their detailed comparison page.

The filmed entertainment industry is pretty massive and AI is going to make a big impact there (for better or worse), that's probably something most folks can understand. CGI is already used everywhere and generative AI takes this tren

ChatGPT knows how to answer this question, but how I don't know. Perhaps it's programmed to answer that question?

On MacOS, you have built-in sandboxing via "sandbox-exec" which shouldn't incur any noticeable overhead. It's used by Chrome, Bazel, etc. Not sure what's available on Windows.

> A program run with Deno has no file, network, or environment access unless explicitly enabled. You can do this using containerization technology, no need to invent this per language runtime.

They've "invested 5 million engineering hours" which is impressive, but are the design changes impossible for Apache Kafka to adopt?

Since any argument after one or more "**" must be a keyword-argument, perhaps f(pos_a, pos_b, **kwargs, kw_a, kw_b, ...) or even f(pos_a, pos_b, **, kw_a, kw_b, ...). This would make the proposal's first example read: m

Seems like the two main difficulties in moving forward on this proposal are the name itself and agreeing on an API that's idiomatic to JavaScript, basically finding the right balance between simplicity and performance. Perhaps a case o

Active support ended a year ago (12 Sep 2022), but somehow it still saw a security release on 24 Jul 2023. Perhaps we will see one more?

I'll add that at the end of the day, a maintainer of open source needs to tend to its garden in order to receive contributions. This is a case of HashiCorp failing to do that on multiple levels (devoting too few resources, changing lic

JSON has pretty limited choice of data types though. Want better precision for numbers, use a string. Want dates? Use a string. Etc.
