I am on the opposite side. For the last few months I don't listen to music unless it's AI generate. I can feel the difference.

LGPL allows compiling the whole of ffmpeg into a so or lib and then dynamically linking from there for your closed source code. That's the main difference between LGPL and GPL.

But if you change or add something in building ffmpeg.so that should be GPLed.

Apparently they copied some files from ffmpeg mixed with their propitiatory code and compiled it as a whole. That's the problem here.

After the year 2000. dot com burst.

An tech employee posted he looked for job for 6 months, found none and has joined a fast food shop flipping burgers.

That turned tech workers switching to "flipping burgers" into a meme.

    Backticks as an alias for shell_exec() are deprecated

Used that a lot in shell scripts. using php-cli.

like in `mkdir $dirname`;

    On 18 November 2025 at 11:20 UTC (all times in this blog are UTC), Cloudflare's network began experiencing significant failures
    As of 17:06 all systems at Cloudflare were functioning as normal

6 hours / 5 years gives ~99.98% uptime.

    5 million Rust LOC 
    One potential memory safety vulnerability found 
    Rust is 0.2 vuln per 1 MLOC.

    Compared to 
    C and C++ : 1,000 memory safety vulnerabilities per MLOC. 

Key take.

Windows still has Active Desktop, doesn't it?

I think it's ok. When wikipedia arrived, everyone was up in arms that people are learning from something that's open for anyone to edit.

But it rectified itself.

The same thing happened when Internet arrived. "Don't believe anything you read on the Internet."

I guess the reaction was same when printed media arrived.

But the thing is, things get better over time.

I was pretty much looking for this info. Thank you.

Is mmap still faster than fread? That might have been true in the 90s but I was wondering about current improvements.

If you have enough free memory, the file will be cached in memory anyway instead of residing on disk. Therefore both will be reading from memory, albeit through different API.

Looking for recent benchmark or view from OS developers.

How's "memory" different from context window?

Looking at the graphs, I would recommend it would have been better to market it as "just as performant as nginx and htproxy" instead of "faster than all ...". While highlighting the simplicity as the added benefit above those all.

Last I checked, Erlang strings were represented internally as a linked list of integers, one int for every character.

That worked, but I felt like not every efficient, as web is very text heavy.

Has that changed in the later versions?

Might be related with what the article was talking. AI can't cut-paste. It deletes the code and then regenerates it at another location instead of cut-paste.

Obviously generated code drift a little from deleted ones.
