I can see the argument for having #handles over #pointers https://floooh.github.io/2018/06/17/hand.. You look at something like #file #handles and they are pretty damn #reliable . There are negative points too, but generally I can see #stability and #speed being major #benefits to this design.
#openjdk 's #java #jre is about to get a massive #speed #improvement with the use of #avx 512 #optimisations https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/1422.. #java is secretly still quite a cool little language!
And this is a *major* #problem with #eu #vehicles - #speed #limiters built into *all* #cars by #default https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/spe.. Imagine for example you need to perform an #overtake - something that can *require* briefly breaking the #speed #limit in order to be done safely. That is just one #example where the ability to be faster is actually #safer ...
Nice #comparison of various #algorithms and their #speed #differences https://jolynch.github.io/posts/use_fast..
#iouring seems to be exceptionally powerful in increasing #networking #speed by reducing #userspace to #kernelspace #copying https://lwn.net/Articles/879724/ Lots of #excitement in the #hackernews #comments regarding this new #feature https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=301.. Very cool indeed. It will have *massive* implications across all parts of the #linux #kernel !
Interesting, apparently it is relatively easy to #double the #speed of #pine 's #pinephone #emmc #storage by simply doing a little #soldering of a #resistor https://tuxphones.com/pinephone-storage-.. I wonder if such a #modification would even be suitable for the #pinetab ?
I'm still not #convinced to give up on #cpp in favour of #rust https://pvs-studio.com/en/blog/posts/073.. The first thing #rust needs to do is show some #compiler and #language #stability . Secondly, it needs to actually prove its claims! #abstraction does not mean #speed , #safety or #memory #efficiency !
Pretty awesome to see #java continuing to #improve as a #language - not only in #features but also in #speed / #performance ! https://www.optaplanner.org/blog/2021/09.. As others have pointed out, Java can be a bit screwy due to breaking support between versions 8 and 9. A lot of people are stuck using Java 8, like this #server is due to #string support.
