I use it for new code base summary, documentation lookup, code review, improvement suggestions, security audit, everything but writing code, I still do that by hand. I'm more productive and my skills improve. Reviewing slop burns me ou

The Rust ownership model prevents use after free. This type of a bug would not compile.

Apple might just win the AI race without even running in it. It's all about the distribution.

jemalloc 5.2.1 vs mimalloc v3.2.8 in Rust software processing hundreds of Terabytes. Could not measure a meaningful difference, but mimalloc would release freed memory to the OS a lot sooner and therefore look nicer in top. That said, older

AI seems to work a lot better once you acquire some AI equity, you go from not working at all to AI writing all the code. /s

Every Rust SIMD article should mention the .chunks_exact() auto vectorization trick by law.

I'm saying it's not good enough to write code yet, but good at explaining code. If it can't that means I messed up and I need to make it clearer. Once it's explanation and my meaning line up, the code is good enough and

Early in 1999 my 1st build was a Celeron 300A on Asus P2B-LS overclocked to 450. Later upgraded to 1.4Ghz and 512MB ECC RAM. Much later running FreeBSD as a home server probably till 2015 when the power supply finally gave out, I wish I kep

It's decent at explaining my code back to me, so I can make sure my intent is visible within code/comments/tracing messages. Not too bad at writing test cases either. I still write my code.

Been doing Rust lambdas for 4 years now, Rust is absurdly fast, especially when compared to non compiled languages. If anything, Rust is even faster than those benchmarks in real world workloads.

I got over 20 years of sane, reliable and consistent computing from the FreeBSD Project, thank you.

I prefer developing Rust on FreeBSD, memory allocator, scheduler, network stack, kqueue, dtrace and other instrumentation are all superior than the Linux counterparts. What's missing for you?

My Retina MacBook Pro lasted over a decade, that's 200$ a year plus $50 battery replacement and $8 speaker. It still runs fine. Macs are an absurd value/quality for money. If M series Macs run this well, no one else comes even clo

This, fsync() data corruption, BitterFS issues, lack of Audit on io_uring, triplicated EXT2,3,4 code bases. For the past 20 years, every time I consider moving mission critical data from FreeBSD/ZFS something like this pops up.

Well, when you have a bad idea you want to implement but don't want to take responsibility for it, you keep on hiring consultants until you hear what you want to hear. Quality of the consulting is irrelevant and interns or AI will do j

Common Crawl delivers the data as bz2. Indeed I store intermediate data in zstd with ZFS.

I use this crate to process 100s of TB of Common Crawl data, I appreciate the speedups.

Be sure to read the Appendix, Rust's state machine async implementation is indeed very efficient.

No that hard, took me 4 weekends to build a private search engine with Common Crawl, Wikipedia and HN as a link authority source. Takes about a week to crunch the data on an old Lenovo workstation with 256gb ram and some storage.
