pverghese··on Shortest-possible walking tour to 81,998 bars in South Korea

pverghese··on Why Vivaldi won't follow the current AI trend?
With summarization, you still read, but have to read less. These days a lot of articles have a lot of verbose content, just to keep a person on the page for a long time. Reminds me of students writing essays just to get to a word or page count.
pverghese··on Swiss Broadcasting Corporation to pull plug on FM radio
I understand why the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRF) wants to pull the plug on FM radio. But I think there are still some good reasons to keep it around. FM radio is simple and strong, and it can be heard by a lot of people even in areas with bad internet access. FM radio also comes in handy in emergencies, like when natural disasters knock out other ways to communicate.

pverghese··on Rust vs Zig Benchmarks

pverghese··on Rust vs Zig Benchmarks
Most of the ones zig is slightly slower than rust are due to a less than performative bignum implementation. All the rest zig handily beats rust

Kind of shows how many rewrites of the rust code are needed to equalize or surpass the zig implementations which are much simpler to write

pverghese··on Justice Department says Google destroyed evidence related to antitrust lawsuit
After you sue, if you shred then you are in trouble. How do you anticipate what documents you need and when a legal suit is going to be filed by an unrelated party
pverghese··on Justice Department says Google destroyed evidence related to antitrust lawsuit
> The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure required Google to suspend its auto-delete practices in mid-2019, when the company reasonably anticipated this litigation. Google did not.

How the hell is this a thing. I can understand if they did this post litigation being filed then it would be a problem.

How is a company supposed to anticipate when and where the government is going to file charges and keep records for them waiting.

If the government was concerned they should have filed the lawsuit sooner not in 2020

pverghese··on Goodbye to the C++ Implementation of Zig
