What’s the benefit of having everything be refcounted memory over Go-style garbage collection? If you have hundreds or thousands of allocations wouldn’t it eventually become slower than a full GC?

Either way this is really cool. Nice to see a language that compiles to C, which is still fairly readable compared to assembly or LLVM, and can take advantage of C’s much more mature optimization toolchain. Flattening out recursion is a neat trick for having your readability cake and performance too.

But won’t you think about the silicon fab duopoly? They are the true victims in this!

Democrats Condemn ICE

The true satire

A smartphone is a handheld computer. Why should it be restricted to what software the company arbitrarily decides should be allowed to run on it?

Also suggests she’s a technically minded person who likes to know how things work and is not satisfied with a black box. Jailbreaking uncovers the complex machine a smartphone truly is, something that Apple tries very hard to hide behind its patronizingly simple interface.

If Sasquatch are real animals they’re almost certainly extinct now.

Where’s MOM from Futurama?

The first photo of a black hole is the most historically significant “first photo of x” that happened in my life time and that I actually understood its historical significance when it came out. So I’d say that’s probably my favourite.

Stockholm syndrome.

When that nun destroyed Archimedes’ math book that had a bunch of pre-calculus stuff in it that wouldn’t be discovered again for centuries.

Imagine if that book had led to the development of calculus, one of the most important tools in science for modeling the universe, much earlier than Newton and Leibniz.

Canada lives in spite of the US.

Their legacy lasted all these billions of years only to be destroyed by nosy humans. I get the scientific benefit of discovering things like this and support the research efforts in general, but the very act of studying something ancient like this irrecoverably alters it, and that still makes a part of me really sad.

I live in attached housing but in a fairly suburban area and by far the biggest source of noise are the vehicles belonging to single family houses. Like, nothing else even comes close and I’ve never once heard someone else’s TV over the racket from the road. The detached houses next to my complex seemingly all have trucks and motorcycles that they rev at all hours.

Great, don’t live there then. More super dense housing for me!

US doing what they accuse China of doing #69420

But do enlighten me on how this is totally different and how no matter what the US does China is still worse by definition, libs.

“We originally had both as black people but the conservatives lynched the other one.”

“Anyone criticizing Israel is antisimetic” 🤝 “Anyone criticizing Ukraine is a Russian bot”

Progressive, sustainable renewable energy tainted by barbaric, ecosystem destroying animal slavery “agriculture.”

Future generations will have to read this shit in history class.
