Extremely incredibly annoying that google removed the cached page feature. Crazy decision. Sigh.

One could claim that people should get salary for being in social media sites like #Facebook and #Instagram, and for any possible content, e.g. a cat video or random rant like this.

Right now the cash flows is for e.g. Facebook something like:

  1. Users produces raw content.
  2. Facebook processes data into assets with momentary value.
  3. Facebook trades with these assets in various profit generating ways.

User is a staff member in this scheme with total zero salary. And some say Amazon factory jobs are crap…

So how can this work as a business model? I have zero idea but neither current business model works for my benefit. It is a loosing game.

I don’t know how advisable this is but it did the job 🤷

vm-memory is really cool and should be IMHO part of stdlib :-) best way to map files and other memory so far in #Rust.

Some project types where you absolutely need memory mapped I/O are:

  • Operating Systems
  • Database Management Systems
  • Virtual Machine Managers
  • Game Engines
  • Digital Audio Workstations

I.e. anything with high scalability, high availability and in real-time processing low latency.

Huge issue in #riscv specifiations is the lack of pseudocode. E.g. this is from the description of SWI opcode:

"The Wait for Interrupt instruction (WFI) provides a hint to the implementation that the current hart can be stalled until an interrupt might need servicing. Execution of the WFI instruction can also be used to inform the hardware platform that suitable interrupts should preferentially be routed to this hart."

Any ideas what actuallly happens when WFI is executed? I don't know. For x86 I just find the opcode from Intel SDM, and then I just read the pseudocode. I usually do not even read the prose unless really need to get bottom of it.

When promoting apps, it is good to remember that #Rust is not a #feature :-) I zero care what language is used. Programming language is only a recipe. A CPU has only one single language that it runs baked from that recipe.

Or actually I do care in the sense that it is a huge turn back. It is misguided advertisement by definition because a competing app might not have this artificial feature. Some casual users might even think that an app is somehow better because it has the imaginary performance improvement thanks to Rust.

Don’t you see why many Americans see such talk of dictatorship as contrary to our most cherished principles? Trump says no. Quite the opposite, he insists. “I think a lot of people like it.” -Trump in https://time.com/6972021/donald-trump-2024-election-interview/

Not my vote so no further comments. I just imagine that I did not read this 🤷

I’m wondering why in #OpenSUSE #Tumbleweed zypper si -d needs the source package as -d should tell to get only build dependencies, and not the source package.
