Windows NT was originally developed for Intel i860XR, then ported to MIPS R3000. 386 was its third supported platform. Danox is just a hopeless Apple fanboy.

enum error { no-error, Huh? Isn't that covered by `result`? Sounds like you should take that out and return `result<_, error>` from `write-verification`.

You can't ingest Common Crawl and claim to be an Open Model. Common Crawl is just a premade collection of random copyrighted unlicensed content.

No, they just tell you what data they used, it still includes e.g. Common Crawl. Not Open, just willing to state what they fed into the training.

You can manage version vectors with large random IDs: [(random_id, clock), ...]. That's not the problem. The problem is you can never remove a node from the clock (without losing properties). Most of the Xanadu data structure implement

The spec was kept proprietary and patented until about 2019. All you had before that was ramblings by an eccentric character who was 100% sure he was correct. https://sentido-labs.com/en/library/201904240732/X

Unless you explicitly prevent it, the kernel might swap out lesser-used parts of your object pool, dedupe pages, and so on. Accessing that page again may be much slower and potentially fail due to OOM. To actually control all dynamic behavi

Monitors these days provide metadata on their physical size. This laptop screen defines itself as 280x190 mm. Sure, that's not 1:1 with end user distance from screen, but it's a hell of a lot better than switching to mobile layout

Separate git rebase commands. JJ manipulates the whole DAG in singular operations, where as with git you're working one ref at a time. And carefully managing where one ref intersects with another, to rebase those commits only once, r

How many of those do you need? How do find the correct arguments and git checkouts to do before? Are you sure you remembered to do everything? What if there are merge commits? All of that is automatic with jj.

Git reflog is a per-ref log of its previous values. JJ operation log is a whole-repo atomic journal of changes. It's much more powerful. You can e.g. undo a change deep in history that already had multiple descendant branches (that jj

As an ex BitKeeper fanboy with a history all the way to RCS, Git was just better.

Now imagine having other branches starting from the commits that just got rebased, also including merge commits. jj handles that just as well.

My hot take: there are two kinds of bookmarks. 1. shortcuts to get to common sites and 2. stuff i need to get back to. And it's a UX mistake to keep #2 separate from open tabs; they are the same thing.

The gap between implementing a DNS server and implementing a DNS server that processes raw UDP packets is almost non-existent. This is a far cry from an actual network stack.
