This is great, this is some good work. But, like an issue I described before with Linux kernel io-uring[1], this fails to test and demonstrate performance with a healthy server load.

This obviously fails to depict a healthy server load because it's just way too specific.

Rust is taking steps or has been taking steps in this direction too.

It's not surprising that a lot of experienced systems and desktop development engineers looking to getting their hands on the newest tool already have experience or at least familiarity with C and C++.

That boolean is actually mostly an extension of the integer system whereby we now have an integer type that stores only one bit.

Whereby the bit stored either results in a 'true' or 'false' value.

Anyways, I know booleans are useful in systems development when you have strict memory / storage constrains / bandwidth (networks).

Yeah, that works for me.

I'd like to note that it seems your life at a computer mostly revolves around Emacs and emacs only.

This doesn't sound sane to me. And you should probably try to diversity when it comes to your engagement with your computer.

The whole computer is supposed to provide you with an ecosystem but Emacs just by itself will not provide you with a whole ecosystem in which you can trive in.

My apologies for this "insane" comment.

At least at professional level, art is developed with a purpose / objective / intended function. For instance, I might visit Africa as someone who has living in Europe all my life but when I go back to Europe, then I decide, well. I should probably put some of what I saw and experienced in Africa in writing or drawings. The above scenerio is quite different from someone who generally draws and writes for leisure.

This is something that happens a lot and happens to apply in all sorts of trades. The situation is often that I engaged or experienced something in real life and would want to express the experience in digital form or some other form.

That said, this conflicts with the general idea of 'art' and other disciplines like 'philosophy' which are generally considered as things that people do for leisure.

Just making some general comment here :-)

For as the primary functionality of your local computer is as a desktop then you do indeed need to be running a server(be it a VPS, dedicated server or whatever).

Otherwise, then I would ask the question? What do you use your local computer for? Playing games? Sounds childish

The bottomline will remain, there's functionality you can get from a $5/month VPS that you can never get out of a desktop. Do I really need to list them? Probably not because they're too obvious. I mean, a server gives you access to the internet.

But, anyways, I forget servers are not useful anymore because we have all move to the AI protocol :-)

IMO, trees are not incompatible with precedence but I just prefer a more barebones approach to this fairly simple problem.

I generally tend to find the idea of 'competent' coders misleading. For the most part, I have been developing or writing code in a certain language for while, then it turns out that I am competent coder? Because, yeah, I've been using C or Python for a while and can easily solve a lot of "complex" problems in C but with all due respect, I am obviously not a competent coder. It's like a situation where you frequent a certain part of town that you're very familiar with it and the people living there but then at the same time you don't live there - lol.

Anyways, for this problem I would parse this statement but definitely not into a tree. I'd assign the integrals to objects. I would then parse or go through the statement again executing the operands.

Well...

Turns you have a fairly, if not a very complicated tree for a simple problem. But, fair, enough, you can always get AI to write the code for this and probably, the code will be reused over and over.

But, is it just me or does someone else think that having to rebalance or re-order the tree might be a good breaking point for the camels back?

:-)

Anyways and however, speaking in strict mathetical sense, the model of a tree actually breaks the classical mathematical model of operator precedence.

1 + 1 + 1 evaluates to:

     (+)
     / \
   (+) (1)
   / \
 (1) (1)

The operators are essentially ordered based on their depth into the right of the question / statement but unless I am terribly wrong, this is not the case in mathematics and some operators have higher precedence regardless of their position in the statement.

Any comments on this?

For instance, in Delhi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Fojw7yviYU

Still, I am yet to come across a some tests that simulate typical real life application workload.

I heard of fio but are yet to check how exactly it works and whether it might be possible to simulate real life application workload with it.

Well, it's not clear to me why we're terming these as silly. They mostly seem simple, instead, to me.
