of course the toml crate has serde on it
what if we could define tasks that could be fulfilled by a python function, a jvm function, or a process execution? what then?
another of the many projects i've probably spent at least a month of 8 hour days on https://github.com/cosmicexplorer/upc this one tried to virtualize i/o
i think i had it inside out https://github.com/cosmicexplorer/upc/blob/master/local/virtual-cli/client/VFS.scala instead of making everything conform to the process/filesystem interface, make process/filesystem conform to the everything interface
this was the fun part of this project https://github.com/cosmicexplorer/upc/blob/master/local/memory/MemoryMapping.scala an API for writing to regions of shared memory. this would be used to share objects across languages without serialization. a cool idea
for phase 1 of my dastardly scheme, we will limit ourselves to process-based tasks, and we will bootstrap from (c compiler) => (zstd)
it is. so incredibly fucked up. to see. a mirror of every gnu repository needed to bootstrap a build environment. on github. when the gnu site is down. because of ddosing. from microsoft. i am upset.
if anyone knows a mirror for the gmplib git repo that's not github please link
steve klabnik jumpscare https://stackoverflow.com/a/31778003 yeah i'm sure the one guy whose entire job is making snide remarks about copyleft on podcasts is the authority on what glibc is or isn't gonna do
i already nerd sniped a glibc dev into supporting posix_getdents() it'll be so funny if glibc gets it before the rust libc wrapper crate
lest we forget like two years ago the rust community's concerted campaign to neg the musl maintainer repeatedly for not optimizing the malloc impl for the specific allocation profile of the rust compiler
i totally forgot about that until just now wow. entitled doesn't describe it
maybe if you care about allocation so much you can link a dedicated allocator?????
that's actually what i'm doing right now but it makes me feel bad to be taking advantage of the result of a widespread coordinated harassment campaign against a maintainer whose work is a fucking pillar of half the world's secure software
pretty confident nobody was offering him cold hard cash for that shit
