> This is also a big party of why artists don’t earn shit. The pie that Spotify divides up among the artists is a global one. It's not like you listen to one artist, so they get your 10 bucks every month. You're paying Taylor S

The grammar matters also, of course. A pure Python program is going to be much slower than the equivalent Rust program, just because CPython is so slow. I don't know if this does semantic analysis of the program as well.

So it went from parsing at 25MiB/s to 115MiB/s. I feel like 115MiB/s is very slow for a Rust program, I wonder what it's up to that makes it so slow now. No diss to the author, good speedup, and it might be good enough f

This has to be AI slop text... It doesn't actually say what it does. If you've got a non-compacting GC that's fragmenting memory. If you need to release memory, then you better make sure that the blocks the GC is using are em

I'm on a M4 Macbook, and I can see it. I'm inclined to totally accept the blog author's experience as true for them, I'd probably experience the same thing.

Tofu's ratio is really good, though? I can get 162kcal/18g of protein tofu here. Anything where P*10 > KCAL is a very good protein source, imo.

void* is basically used for ad-hoc polymorphism in C, and it is a vital part of C programming. void new_thread(void (*run)(void*), void* context); ^- This let's us pass arbitrary starting data to a new thread. I don't kno

No, it's not? Using a VM is one way of preventing buffer overflows, it's not orthogonal.

> A stack based machine? Why? The JVM being a stack-machine is probably the least controversial thing about it. Wasm, CPython and Emacs all also have a stack-based bytecode language. The value, of course, comes from having a generic mach

You're saying $8 billion to cover interest, another commenter said 80, but the actual article says ""$8 trillion of CapEx means you need roughly $800 billion of profit just to pay for the interest". Eight HUNDRED billion

This is very similar to how Java's object monitors are implemented. In OpenJDK, the markWord uses two bits to describe the state of an Object's monitor (see markWord.hpp:55). On contention, the monitor is said to become inflated

To me, it doesn't. If someone says "tsc is a transpiler", it gives me nothing actionable. If you do say "it transpiles to JS", then I've got something, but that could just be "compiles to JS". It does

What value does the word have? When I'm writing a compiler, it doesn't matter whether I target C or asm, or Javascript, as my output language. I'll still write it the same way.

by writebetterc 10mo ago
I'd probably say that "transpiler" is not a very useful word with that definition.

I'm sure that if you went back 100 years you'd be less surprised, but of course the rice would've been replaced with oat porridge or potatoes.
