Author of the post here. This talk was one of the talks I watched when learning about allocators. I thought about writing a part of the post about this talk but I didn't have much time.

I was surprised by how simple an allocator is

New comment by gilgamesh3 in "Lua for Elixir"

gilgamesh3 — Thu, 15 May 2025 15:55:21 +0000

Cool project, congrats.

I am trying to understand why would anyone prefer to use Lua to create script instead of Elixir, which supports running scripts. While Lua has lots of users the language just have too many wrong design choices. If I had the choice between Elixir and Lua for scripts I would use Elixir every time.

New comment by gilgamesh3 in "A deep dive into Linux's new mseal syscall"

gilgamesh3 — Fri, 25 Oct 2024 20:08:28 +0000

>OpenBSD has had it since forever.

OpenBSD introduced mimmutable in OpenBSD 7.3, which was released 10/4/2023 (for US people, it would be 4/10/2023), so it isn't "forever".

Meanwhile Linux and FreeBSD has "memfd_create" forever while OpenBSD doesn't have anonymous files and relies on "shm_open".

New comment by gilgamesh3 in "What We're Working on in Firefox"

>Tab Grouping, Vertical Tabs, and our handy Sidebar will help you stay organized no matter how many tabs you have open — whether it’s 7 or 7,500.

Finally. Chrome has this feature for a while and it's really handy when working with lots of tabs, but I use Firefox on my main machine so I couldn't take advantage of this feature (and I don't like vertical tabs).

New comment by gilgamesh3 in "Porn sites will be legally required to verify users' age using credit card"

gilgamesh3 — Wed, 09 Feb 2022 13:18:49 +0000

>Studies show that half of 11 to 13-year-olds have seen pornography at some point.

This is not porn site's fault, parents should be aware of what their children see online.

>Experts who work with children say it gives them unhealthy views of sex and consent, putting them at risk from predators and possibly stopping them reporting abuse.

LOL. Instead of educating children about sex and consent, they instead prefer to put the burden on the porn sites.

New comment by gilgamesh3 in "Lawsuit aiming to break up Facebook group Meta can go ahead, US court rules"

gilgamesh3 — Wed, 12 Jan 2022 17:23:12 +0000

IMHO Visa and Mastercard duopoly are way more powerful than other companies like Facebook or Google. In the end, people still need to pay for services and they use credit cards to pay for it. If Mastercard or Visa don't want a service do exist, they can simply block it and then people won't be able to use the service. The recent OnlyFans and PornHub controversies prove my point. OnlyFans was in the verge of banning explicit porn in their plataform.

New comment by gilgamesh3 in "Sudo vulnerability"

gilgamesh3 — Sun, 27 Oct 2019 01:37:10 +0000

I've heard of doas sometimes and it's much simpler than sudo, but it's powerful. Doas has two non-official port for Linux[0][1], but it would be great if someone developed an official tool like doas for Linux.

Ask HN: Why Rust is becoming popular?

gilgamesh3 — Tue, 14 May 2019 03:37:27 +0000

In the recent times, Rust is becoming very popular, and used more and more by people and companies, but why? What is the pros and cons of Rust? Rust does not even have a spec.

New comment by gilgamesh3 in "Ask HN: What do you plan to learn in 2019?"

gilgamesh3 — Sun, 30 Dec 2018 08:40:25 +0000

I'm planning to learn the programming language R and read the book "Pandas Cookbook Recipes for Scientific Computing", improve my skills in Emacs and learn more english, because english it's not my primary language.
