Isn't the Linux gaming stuff really an emulator for Windows games? So it'd be like, windows emulation inside Linux virtualization inside macos?

The columns feature seems somewhat dangerous at first glance. What if I wanted different sets of allowed columns for different parts of the query? Would I have to provide the superset of columns supported in both subqueries / tables?

Are you gonna clarify at all how this is relevant to the original article...?

Aren't you describing docker-out-of-docker rather than docker-in-docker?

This site does not display well on mobile.

There's definitely something wrong with the scroll performance. I'm seeing bad performance as well on a pixel 8 pro. If I weren't on mobile I'd pop open devtools and check for excessive layout recalculations

One thing not mentioned is the massive amount of complexity and difficulty involved in Starlark rules. In the next generation of build tools, I really wish Starlark could be replaced with some subset of TypeScript, which would have drastically better IDE support. And I wish the typing would be done in such a way that it's harder to do things that are bad for performance. Starlark is super difficult to read, navigate, and write, and there are a lot of performance gotchas.

I know there are efforts like starpls (language server for Starlark) but in my experience it really falls short. I think buck2 has type annotations but I kind of hate Python-style types, so I wish we could just use TypeScript :P TypeScript is even better positioned to fill this role now that tsc is being re-written in Go.

> who the hell calls a tool "buildah"?

Bostonians? :P

I don't get it. The pool uses weak pointers under the hood right? If you allocate too much up front, the stuff you don't need will get garbage collected. It's no worse than doing the same without a pool, right?

If you're regularly kicking yourself, don't you have your own examples to draw from? Only half-joking.

Chromebooks are a thing, and are extremely popular

help() should not have to re-teach you the syntax of the language every time you look up an individual help topic, though. Even though this "/" stuff is uncommonly used, it seems like it should have its own help topic. Otherwise, this means that help() has to re-explain every piece of syntax that might be considered "uncommonly used", which is kind of hard to draw a line for.

Lol literal first four words of the comment said he's not a surgeon

How would you recommend learning about eBPF / BTF / CO-RE? I have a basic understanding of what they are, but am not sure where to start for writing eBPF tracing programs, setting them up in production w/ Grafana, etc.

Ever heard of curiosity?

I think I like this new pipe syntax a lot better than PRQL. Feels like it has the potential to become officially supported by DBs like MySQL since it's a relatively small change to existing SQL syntax.

It would be cool if you added a Wikipedia link for each of these. I find myself wanting to learn more about some of them

The article was specifically asking for concentric rings with equally spaced points - how would you fix the seed such that this property is held?

Wouldn't a fixed seed mean you're repeating values a bunch, which would be inefficient? And how would you know when to stop generating values?

Google has massive amounts of code written in Java so one would think the Java tooling would be excellent as well.

Something is still not right for me. The scrolling is extremely janky. I'm on mobile so can't check devtools right now, but I would open up Chrome's Rendering tab in devtools and check for excessive layout recalculations and such. Maybe also do some performance profiling

I bet it's working as intended. The $ symbol is probably a special feature of the console and is not intended to be a property of window. Inside setInterval, the function is no longer being executed in the special console environment, which has access to that symbol.

What have they broken on 3.x? Genuine question as I haven't followed python's development super closely

The funniest one I saw was "Lispaña"

I haven't developed in this space for a while so I'm just curious - which framework(s) are you referring to that this could have replaced?

This behavior seems difficult to actually implement in practice, no? Your application has to be careful not to accidentally cache any configuration state, as well as any state derived from the configuration, otherwise it will go out of sync. Maybe easy for trivial apps but most apps requiring configuration files are non trivial.

It's not trying to fix Go, it's trying to be a new programming language. It just happens to compile to Go, and allows Go interop.

I like to use pv as a quick and dirty operations per second counter. Sometimes I will write a program or script that does a bunch of things in parallel (e.g. RPCs to a service I'm working on), and prints one line of output for every operation completed. Then I pipe that output to pv using the --lines option to count only lines. It shows how many lines are being printed per second, which roughly counts operations per second. (IIRC, also need to pipe to /dev/null to prevent pv's fancy output from clobbering the tool's output).

Fun stuff! Especially when combined with GNU parallel, in cases where the thing I'm measuring isn't already parallelized, and I want to be lazy.

The problems you're describing sound rather niche - I can see how a deadlock or a 100% CPU issue could happen, but the biggest problem in my experience is the resource usage associated with the file watches, at least on Linux.
