The biggest slow down on MacOS compared to Linux is the default filesystem APFS (but hey HFS and HFS+ were also slow). But not just that, the Linux dirent cache is optimised to within an inch of its life (it's deliberately sized to mat

I was never a huge fan of exceptions and their "come from" / "spooky behaviour at a distance" semantics, and now I see a group of other language features I never thought highly of all belong to a group of implementa

"means your benchmark is inaccurate by my book.", and like The Dude says "Yeah? Well, you know, that's just like uh, your opinion, man." Create your own benchmark, and you can say it is a subset of "U.S. large-

Sure, but then it comes down to your opinion vs the S&P board's opinion. I suspect (given that there's only been a few days of this getting into the public eye) that more people support the S&P's position vs their cri

"The inclusion criteria prioritizes companies that extract their cashflow into profit", in almost all cases, yes. But if you want to buy into these newer stocks there are various high growth indices you can buy, no one is stopping

"The S&P rules exist so the index can accurately reflect the market", the rules exist to reflect a subset of the market, and the committee chooses that subset. It's their subset so they get to set the rules, you don'

"Because the index needs accuracy.", and I would argue that include price accuracy not just inclusion accuracy. The S&P is a benchmark that is designed to reflect a subset of the market, and giving only some companies early ac

From my perspective it is a synthesis of "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." and "but npm is the source of all the shiny shiny!".

They will just fine them into oblivion; they are known to fine companies AUD10M to AUD50M for this sort of thing, and from 1st April this year they can now fine up to AUD100M. Will this mean that Bambu will withdraw from the Australian mark

The rumour mill says that parts of Canonical's infrastructure are being DDoSed. That being said Canonical did maintenance on their PPA infrastructure 2 days ago according to their Mastodon page[0]. If it is an attack maybe this is an a

This sounds more like a belief, based on little more than "correlation is causation", than analysis that controls for macro-trends backed by evidence.

As long as this tool doesn't break "fast forward merge" and proper linear history and allows you do delete PRs unlike its GitHub progenitor then I'm happy. I have found that a number of times GitHub's idea of "

I'm so surprised that so few people have heard of Portmaster, it's been around for years and runs on Linux (and Windows if you must). And if you don't need traffic history it's free.

I use Portmaster (on Linux) and I have never seen ads (either in the app or apps that get their DNS from Portmaster) on it. About the only thing I saw different between the free version and the base level paid for version was traffic histor

actually i just checked, yeah, ubuntu would have to add none back to the kernel and `CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y` the config so that it can be selected at boot.
