This guy golfs.

I’m new to the language and thought these would be the same. But I just listened to some words with the two and the おお definitely has like a bigger o sound. That’s quite subtle.

As a reviewer I at least skimmed the papers for every reference in every paper that I review. If it isn't useful to furthering the point of the paper then my feedback is to remove the reference. Adding a bunch of junk because it is broadly related in a giant background section is a waste of everyone's time and should be removed. Most of the time you are mostly aware of the papers being cited anyway because that is the whole point of reviewing in your area of expertise.

The implementation of the shared json buffer is nuts

I think it is posted because of the update on Dec 2nd 2025 where Oracle responded with a request to dismiss.

Edit: I read that date shockingly wrong, their response was February of 2025 so this is pretty old.

There was definitely a widely held belief in the late 90s, early 00s that programming was commoditized to the point that it would be fully offshored to the lowest cost of labor. This happened in some areas and failed. It still happens now and then. But I remember hearing some of that based on OO and libraries making it so unskilled people could just put together legos.

The last one wins

I don’t know if they can pull it off but a lot of companies are built on strong enterprise sales being able to sell free stuff with a bow on it to someone who doesn’t know better or doesn’t care.

This whole series of work is quite cool. The use of `word-break: break-word;` makes this really hard to read though.

There is usually some variant of tee that lets you do that.

I think this is pretty cool but I spend most of my day on a laptop I don’t own and there’s no way I could get this on there.

You have to call defer after initialization so you can’t technically call it RAII. As long as you remember to call it then it is effectively the same. Personally defer makes it so very similar to be a difference without a distinction but the “is initialization” part can’t be true if you need to do a second step.

Why waste time on physics if you are trying to learn mathematics? I always found those “motivations” to be a distraction.

Saying that humans are not stochastic parrots because it makes you feel bad isn’t really proof that we aren’t parrots. I’m not saying we are parrots, just that many of the arguments in the post are unfounded vitriol.

Every time I see projects like this what I hear is: “I hate JavaScript, just use html and web standards (oh and a bunch of JavaScript but I hate JavaScript so let’s not talk about it much).”

Yeah but Jira is a good example of where the culture building the software shows they don’t give a shit about performance or usability. They tend to go together. I agree the talk about Linear being good because it is fast is weird but I think a lot of people who say that are actually saying the workflows are sensible and the ux is good. The feeling of speed is partially because you don’t have to click 17 times to do something simple.

That is interesting, I’ll have to look into that further. I would expect Go to have similar issues because the RPS isn’t that much less. But maybe there is some knife edge here.

I’m interested why Rust and C have similarly bad tail latencies but Go doesn’t.

Hah oh right duh

return n >= 0

Why do you think it would be to pay for actual costs? The whole point of running a scam is to spend the money.

I learned the term for this as a fluent interface. Pipelining is in my mind something quite different.

I can’t find any of the times I’ve been in court. Not sure if good or bad.

Where do you get the data? I would think it would be licensed so how can you sell it?

Given the date on the post, I can’t tell if this is real.

Linus seems unusually reasonable and kind in that response.

Thank you for your service.

A lot of these ideas are part of the design of Fuchsia (https://fuchsia.dev/).

I could believe pi*e rational but pi+e being rational would blow my mind.

I still have my copy. I didn’t realize this was such a deep cut.

My favorite part was the “Facebook was not created to be a business” quote being juxtaposed against Kevin Systrom saying “instagram was created to be a business” right after the acquisition.
