If that’s the case, why not just buy Affinity

It’s almost as if it’s not a single factor issue and insta could stand to improve its under-age content filters AND TikTok can also be a threat because of its ties to China.

There is some great cosmic irony here. A section about never needing to build, install, etc… just give me an executable. Followed immediately with an incantation for zig to build this project

Many of the china model 3s and Ys use prismatic cells from CATL use lifepo chemistries

It’s certainly been interesting watching the multi-decade arc play out. With Mach as the origins, everything other than tasks (processes) schedule and virtual mem was out of kernel and done over Mach port comms. Then xnu via next step and later OS X linked much more in kernel and exposed specific data types using com+ in iokit. And now more and more is moving back out of the kernel.

io_urging networking on Linux is another similar move out to use space

The key bit of information missing here and from all these replies is that Lufthansa’s no SFO night time VFR policy was a reaction to and SFO and NorCal notice requiring this limitation from inbound international carriers after a few incidents but the requirement of how to implement this was ambiguous and Lufthansa is complying as best they can

jemalloc + memleak and perf work pretty well in that case. I think you could do something similar with tcmalloc

Not to mention Pivotal interwoven into that story

Gee if only the FAA could have certified unleaded gas some time in the last 3 decades. It’s not like us GA enthusiasts enjoy depending on an expensive leaded gas.

I’m not saying a lot of the comments aren’t without merit but I was actually surprised to see so much negativity. There are only a handful of funding approaches for languages. I would also say most of the funding they raised is going towards the platform and inference accelerator.

I can also buy the argument why setting up all the dev-tel infra to make an odd language project successful is a lot of work and possibly a distraction. Even though the source isn’t currently open, they’re certainly developing it in the open.

Maybe it’s a combination of a bunch of these things that’s throwing people off?

This argument has always felt to me like saying “google has no moat in search, they just happen to currently have the best page rank. Nothing is stopping yahoo from creating a better one”

I’ve had no problems scaling jetty to 400-500 qps per node on small thread pools.

A dumbed down interpretation. What most people can buy off the shelf for servers more or less looks like a pc shoved into an odd looking case (1u, 3U rack). To get anywhere near the cost / performance of the big players you need something that’s designed for the data center server workloads.
