    @sun @pwm Really now?

    To be honest, the accumulated cruft of TLS offload, firewall-cmd, namespaces, systemd-resolvd, DNSSEC, and such made the modern networking a fairly unfun mess. But you don't have to comply, within your own network.

    The speed of modern CPUs that we take for granted comes from these sources:
    - a high performance DRAM controller
    - a large hierarchical cache
    - out-of-order execution
    - super-scalar or parallel execution
    - a high clock rate
    - all of this is underpinned by a small feature size process and a large gate budget

    A typical RISC-V aims for a low cost implementation that lacks these elements. Without them, you're basically making a 200 MHz, 5 to 10 pipeline stage CPU. I'm generalizing it a lot, but you're ending with something like MicroSPARC-II or thereabout.

    I heard about high performance RISC-V implementations aimed at hyperscalers, but I've never seen one in person.

    I am in a bad place with my home network. I made a WiFi, where Linux and MacOS work, but Android does not. Says there's no connectivity.

    Of course, connectivity is just fine, and applications work when they do not care about that. For example, WatsUp simply connects where it wants. But Chrome is too polite for that and refuses to try.

    A tcpdump shows that Android connects, attempts SSDP (which never worked in my networks), then pokers the router (sic) with HTTP, and then reports the there's no connectivity. All Android devices behave the same way.

    Banging my head figuratively.

    @pid_eins It all sounded very good until the last moment. The whole point if downloading the whole thing is to let the thing be stored compressed or shared in unlimited ways. Once you start downloading block-by-block, you're throwing it all out the window. Might was well just back the root with that image on a translucent (CoW) filesystem or something.

    TIL that generics and/or templates can cause a measurable code bloat at scale. We are talking tens and possibly hundreds of megabytes, depending how many classes you have. I operated under an assumption that even for a big project you'd only loose a meg or two, and storage is measured in terabytes anyway. But even in the world of 100GbE senselessly large binaries cause issues when you have to deploy to thousands of nodes.

    @penguin42 It's the Boris Babayan's CPU that MCST developed when I worked there. It morphed into Elbrus 2000 (E2K).

    @penguin42 Thanks. I didn't know much about ARM.

    @penguin42 Narch and E2K have a fully hardware FP, which inherits from Elbrus 3, modified for IEEE 754. But of course their gate budget was much larger than for pioneering RISC CPUs of the late 1980s.

    "Working with the CPU is the Arithmetic Processing Unit (ALU), which is responsible for mathematical tasks and is driven by the CPUs microcode."

    So close.

    Although, was there a CPU without microcode since the 8080?

    The original Narch didn't have any microcode, but I'm not sure if its successor "E2K" still didn't. Narch trapped to a software management whenever it wanted something microcode-ish. That was in 1997.

    I'm trying to remember if old SPARC had microcode (in e.g. Sun-4/280), and I cannot. It's been decades.

    Maybe the system has sysctl net.ipv6.bindonly=1 or something.

    @sun @pwm I'm sorry if this is patronizing, but did you know that listening on ::0 on Linux listens to both AF_INET and AF_INET6? This is very much unlike BSD, where you must listen on separate sockets for each family.

    We have a component made out of D and Python. Two days ago a senior engineer snapped and is rewriting it in Go. Thank heavens he didn't consider Rust.

    @corbet So, what's the downside to going login-only? Most social media and news sites are like that these days. Pure nostalgia for the wide-open Internet is not a good enough reason. We used to have http: at one point too, but we moved on. Do you reap anything from that openness?

    Oh, great. Updated to Fedora 41 and now I see a bunch of junk empty filesystems every time I run df(1). Thanks, Lennart!

    @sun This may be not the best thread to hog attention, but... when I was looking for a job in recent years, I wanted to be typecast no more. To do satellites or at least something space-related was my dream job. But here I am implementing S3 for the 4th time (tabled, OpenStack Swift, Ceph RGW, and now Weka nee MinIO). Am I turning into one of those guys who did COBOL until they dropped dead at their desk with a heart attack? Probably not a concern for someone doing crypto AI just yet, but it will be.

    @kaia @sun I built an inclinometer for a Jeep once. It's a board that has an accelerometer, driven by the same CPU that Artuino uses, although I used ATtiny85 for some random reasons. LEDs indicate how off vertical you are. It worked great! Once I got this out of my system, I uploaded the design to my website and returned to software.

    @sun @kaia When I was a boy, we built blinking LEDs with 2 transistors in a "multi-vibrator" configuration. Our fathers built them using an RC integrator and magic.

    @sun @get I wonder if Hack (PHP+) ever caught on at least as much as Kotlin (Java+) did. I know that Elixir is not Erlang+.

    @sun I share the sentiment, but is it ever that bad?

    Over the months of December and November, I searched:

    how to paste code in jira
    python boto3 with private server
    python boto3 list_buckets
    how to carve a turkey
    how to roast a turkey
    how to remove projects from zed
    how to remove submodule from a commit
    local struct in dlang
    git find tags pointing to a branch

    Maybe I do not program enough. Also, I use paper books (especially Ali Cehreli "Programming in D" recently - my favourite chapter is "Index").
