my stepdads beer posted:so why is yaml so bad? just seems like a different take on xml?? idk i don't use this stuff yaml is more a different take on json than on xml, and the problem in this case is that yaml supports user-defined types (unlike json), and the rails yaml serializer & parser is built to automatically support arbitrary ruby objects. and then there's the delightful wrinkle that the rails xml parser supports embedded yaml for some reason and the rails json parser just hands the json text off to the yaml parser because yaml is a superset of json

FamDav posted:i think most of the speedups early on were from optimizing how chunk data was stored and read. I think scaevolus used hilbert curves to reorder chunks to improve locality of data which had a nontrivial effect on speed. not even that fancy. mcregion stores (up to) 1024 chunks per file instead of one chunk per file. that's it.

Max Facetime posted:I don't understand, is this some sort of name mangling issue? like that the type name encodes some type information that's not otherwise expressible in C++ and the encoding is platform dependent, or something? No, every single C++ lambda creates a unique unnamed type (even if they have the exact same signature and capture). There's literally no way to declare a lambda without either using the auto keyword or instantiating the std::function template. Apple quite sensibly just made C++ lambdas silently convert to blocks.

I thought triple fault back into real mode was a 286/Windows 2.0 era thing, and by the time Windows 95 rolled around they were running the BIOS and DOS device drivers in VM86 mode I seem to recall a description of the Windows 95 IO stack starting out in 32-bit protected mode, switching to VM86 16-bit real mode (only if necessary), running through the hooked DOS interrupt handlers for drivers and TSRs in sequence and then hitting the last hook in the list which was registered by Windows itself so it could switch back into protected mode to complete the request
