I wrote this in a review I believe, but this is one of the most comprehensive introductions to a good 80% of what could be considered a high performance computing education. It's extremely well written, in the weeds, but not lost in th

My thought has always been that the ratio of lifetime to any given sublifetime unit of time is always increasing, leading to a change in relative experience. But if you focus on the fact that a second is constant, you always have the same a

First project I've ever seen that made me instantly sponsor it. Then to only find out you wrote fd and hexyl and some other classics. Great work.

I love this and I'm super glad it's being developed, but I think I'd have to break my arm or hand (or have severe RSI) to really dive in. The startup cost seems high, mentally speaking.

How does this handle the machine running out of memory?

This is great, the amount of boilerplate it takes to write an iterator is a bit cumbersome right now. Looking forward to see how this fares as it moves towards stable.

Let's say you wanted to run some python code that was written and test it against some C/C++/Rust for accuracy of some sort (numerical, lexicographical, etc). In the old way you would have to fire up multiple processes to do

Same w/ Rust and Python, this is really neat because now each thread could have a GIL without doing exactly what you said. The pyO3 commit to allow subinterpreters was merged 21 days ago, so this might "just work" today: ht

I drove into a ditch in Costa Rica following google maps. It was the end of any fantasy of ine that they still wanted to organize the world's information. Luckily it only cost $500 or so for the privilege of finding that out for sure.

This was the big turning point for me, and I'm in my forties. Thinking that I couldn't enjoy exercise was mainly because my 'form' was so bad it literally hurt. Luckily you can get better at things, and once you do, or y

jarmitage is a legend (in my eyes), so I'm sure he has his own opinions, but TidalCycles (as it is now known) depends on supercollider for both Midi and Sample playback. It communicates to supercollider through the OSC protocol, so it

Oddly the first issue I came across today was folks being confused about this. I haven't gotten to the bottom of where the code is now, but this go library was messing up len == 0 vs nility and someone forked it to fix it: https:&#x2F

the ability to cast nil as a zero length array means there's no difference between a function that returns a zero length array and a function that returns nil (assuming some casting process takes place). It could be a subtle and annoyi

This is the most satisfying answer, but it doesn't make the implications less complex.

My fave golang slice trick is the len of an empty slice is 0, but the slice itself is == to nil, but the len of nil won't compile. Can't understand that one. https://go.dev/play/p/MslCkBphl7q?v=gotip

"The dream of humanoids is that they should be able to do all the things that we do, right?" "we" is a stretch here, since the speaker has never worked at any of the activities their robot can play-act at doing.

The desktop linuxes I've used would be my daily OS if it weren't for the edges. Not necessarily as sharp now as when you could break a CRT with the wrong modeline, but still bad relative to the alternative (for me macOS). I mean t
