It takes a real class-act to happily play a parody of himself.

He was a true American treasure.

This is the whole idea behind Turing-completeness, isn’t it? Any Turing-complete architecture can simulate any other.

Reminds me of https://xkcd.com/505/

It’s an ideal that’s only achievable when you’re able to set your own priorities.

Managers and executives generally don’t give two shits about yak shaving.

Tip #1: if you’re gonna post your programming blog to social media, make sure it can handle the traffic…?

Don’t show them this, it’ll shatter their reality

Ffs, are the Danish getting uppity again? It’s been a quiet few hundred years

And think about this: unlike celery, it’s a true calorie-negative snack.

Cause, you know, thermodynamics.

Bruh if I’m eating something out of a can it might be because I’m too lazy and lacking in foresight to cook shit and freeze it ahead of time.

I think that change is hilarious because in reality, some lawyer or middle-manager probably just looked at that and went “this is stupid and unprofessional, it shouldn’t be in an official statement” and took it out.

But it’s so much funnier to think that Google top brass were like

Yessssss… with this one change, we can do whatever we want and no one can stop us!

Bruh if I’m eating something out of a can it might be because it’s 3 AM and I’m too lazy to cook for myself.

I got a can of these cause my dad used to feed them to me as a kid and I was craving them.

Skimpflation is real ya’ll. There wasn’t a single piece of meat in the whole fucking can. And it was blander than I remember. I threw out most of it cause I couldn’t see myself finishing it.

The compiler is getting more and more parallel but there’s a few bottlenecks still. The frontend (parsing, macro expansion, trait resolution, HIR lowering) is still single-threaded, although there’s a parallel implementation on nightly.

Optimal core count really depends on the project you’re compiling. The compiler splits the crate into codegen units that can be processed by LLVM in parallel. It’s currently 16 for release builds and 256 for debug builds.

This theoretically means that you could continue to see performance gains up to 256 cores in debug builds, but in practice there’s going to be other bottlenecks.

Compilation is very memory and disk-I/O intensive as well. Having a fast SSD and plenty of spare memory space that the OS can use for caching files will help. You may also see a benefit from a processor with a large L3 cache, like AMD’s X3D processor variants.

Across a project, it depends on how many dependencies can be compiled in parallel. The dependencies for a crate have to be compiled before the crate itself can be compiled, so the upper limit to parallelism here is set by your dependency graph. But this really only matters for fresh builds.

My last optometrist refused to tell me what my prescription was. I should have insisted, they’ve since closed up shop.

You know, I always figured optometry involved like, super complicated math and shit.

Turns out it’s just basic arithmetic.

Kinda like programming, in a way.

Something that occurs once a hour has a frequency of 277.777… μHz

As someone who’s built his own PCs for years, I’ve never really bothered with a BIOS update.

Then again, one of the main reasons to update BIOS is to gain support for new CPUs, but I’ve been using Intel which switches to a new socket or chipset every other generation anyway. I’ve almost always had to buy a new motherboard alongside a new CPU.

Okay but the real question is, can these nano chips run DOOM? Where can I find out how to jailbreak these bad boys?

My understanding is that Flatpak was never designed to be a secure environment. It’s all about convenience.

Running software you know you can’t trust is idiotic no matter how well you sandbox it.

The language definitely seems made up just to fuck with people.
