if one could boostrap tcc with it, then it might be a viable tool.

jemalloc saved my icinga2 installation that kept exploding in memory usage, when i (and agents from sub-zones) was hammering its api

when i preloaded jemalloc , memory remained at significantly lower levels, and - more importantly - it was stable.

there seems to be no single correct solution to memory allocation, depending on the workload

you know, i don't think saying "got it right" is correct here.

Because if you are presenting an option of walking to a car wash as a valid choice, it suggests you just want to get there, and not wash your car.

Just like walking/driving to an airport doesn't necessarily mean you're going there to catch a flight (although it's a common reason). might as well be picking someone up. or working there.

i hope that whoever caused all those bugs doesn't move later into developing Azure.

(part of me actually wishes it would happen, ngl).

seems like a common occurence in the region, although the virus is highly contagious and very deadly.

As long as it is very deadly I think there is a reduced risk of global pandemic, the hosts are easily isolated and the risk mitigated. I think the problem is if this virus stays dormant for a prolonged period or if the symptoms pass for something else during the early stages. Covid-19 had both of those, 72 hours of no symptoms and then 2-3 days of what looks like a regular cold or mild flu.

The incubation period is 4-14 days, and in rare cases up to 45 days. So it would seem to pose one of the problems you identified.

i wish we instead dropped js for something vastly more sane.

Amen to that (will never happen though).

Lua

What would that be?

Something that is designed to be compiled to, so that everyone can use whatever programming language they like.

Seriously JS is the best choice for the things it's commonly used for

maybe instead of HL3 they will deliver linux on the desktop for the masses.

because that's the foreseeable trajectory at this point

what a trip down memory lane.

for some extra nostalgia, check out "one finger death punch 2" game (and its prequel). i bet it's sort of an homage to those animations.

reject outright. ask to split it into reasonable chain of changesets.

this looks like maintenance nightmare going forward, but i could be wrong.

If you are stuck on specific pg version for a while, maybe it's worth it.

hash won't change on PG version upgrade, because that would cause a massive reshuffling by pg_upgrade: something PG managed to avoid so far.
