Not only this, but also:

Bun's fork will exhibit indeterministic behavior.


As if that was a bad thing in 2026!

...why does it being 2026 make nondeterminism more desirable or reasonable?

It’s a joke because all of the AI systems du jour are non deterministic and people are putting them in important places anyway.

This was probably a joke about a lot of developers delegating coding to LLMs which are usually non-deterministic (which I personally think is less of an issue than LLMs not having specified behavior like programming languages do).

They are going to save us from that XXIII century probe, right

XOR appears a lot in any code touching encryption.

PS. What is static vs dynamic count?


Static count - how many times an instruction appears in a binary (or assembly source).

Dynamic count - how many times an opcode gets executed.

I. e. an instruction that doesn't appear often in code, but comes up in some hot loops (like encryption) would have low static and high dynamic.



Would be cool to have recent findings on persistent data structures via the lenses of cache locality


I know people using ref counting to support using allocation arenas for immutable structures. For some workloads that gives a pretty crazy performance boost.

Just pre-allocating leaf nodes can reduce iteration overhead by 40%.


Working on an audio streaming platform powering an indy internet radio. Looks like Icecast & friends show its age and a similar product can be easily built with the functionality cast down to simply robust streaming & handling "timed playlists". I enjoy every bit of knowing exactly what happens in the code. It's not open source atm, but will be. It's in Go, is a pleasure to write and the deployment takes minimal amount of resources.

Other project is to continue a bit stalled progress of a configuration language BCL - add functions, more structures and fix some hidden scoping issues. Making languages is an endless fun. https://github.com/wkhere/bcl


Was recently looking for such a streaming thing; just streaming from a set of MP3s in a folder, nothing fancy. The majority looked too complex, with too many moving parts, for my idea.

Found one in Go that might interest you too: GoFM. Although I dropped my idea for now, I'd love to see yours come to life, too.


I started with this one:

https://medium.com/@icelain/a-guide-to-building-a-realtime-h...

And then, modified a lot. At some moment I will open it back. (Author's MIT license allowed closing it; I did it actually because I embedded a number of idiosyncrasies related to the radio service that shouldn't be disclosed; but with some amount of work it can be divided into an open and closed part).

The broadcasting skeleton from that original blog/github project is good, though! It might work for your case.

Please keep in mind it's better to stream AAC than MP3. Basically any format you'd probably want to use can be converted to AAC with ffmpeg.

AAC has a simple frame format and it's easy to decipher it; I use it to always send full frames, even when one would want to skip to the next song - by doing that the client behaves more smoothly.


Thank you for the pointers.


Misleading.

Sounds like "computer driving Artemis spacecraft" while is is realy "some computer onboard Artemis spacecraft".

Very big difference.


Thank you for bringing back the Signal's statement, btw.


"..aims to be compatible with WordPress functionality"

What does it mean, to be "compatible with functionality"?

At a first glance this statement promises a lot, but does it really mean anything technically?


Somebody needs to say that:

What was the AI usage in this endeavour?

Zero, huh?
