Microsoft @Windows: "We're preloading File Explorer so it launches faster." File Pilot: Compiles in less than 3 seconds. Launches instantly. Eats whole drive for breakfast. Speed isn't a background task, it's design. filepilot.tech
Microsoft admits File Explorer is slow in Windows 11, and it’s going to preload it in the background to help improve launch performance. “This shouldn’t be visible to you, outside of File Explorer hopefully launching faster when you need to use it,” Microsoft confirmed. If you…
What an incredibly insightful comment. The first group struck gold, followed by the secondary arrival of people trying to capture what happened. The subsequent tourists focus exclusively on the the artifacts of the secondary group.
This should be illegal. And this is why you always opt-out sending telemetry if you can.
Is 16+gb/mo a normal amount of telemetry? Can you not do any local compute of “get hot” or “get cold” with a multi core processor and multiple gigabytes of memory? Can’t just repeat the previous nights settings? It’s bad enough that you slapped a $200/yr subscription on things,…
Ripgrep is slow. Nowgrep is fast, because I bypass the Windows slop and go straight to NTFS. Here's Ripgrep vs. Nowgrep searching through 300k files on a drive with 2M+. Nowgrep is written from scratch in C99. No borrow checker.
📢 Incredibly excited to announce I signed with a publisher! My retro tycoon game 'Car Park Capital' will be published by @micro_prose! The one behind classics like Transport Tycoon and Civilization. Go watch the trailer! Thanks for the support so far! 🙏…
It takes a lot of work to do great work.

What's everyone's take on shipping symbols with your game? Makes it easier to resolve stack traces on crashes. What's the downside, aside from huge symbols when you use bloated engines? Massive security holes? Not shipping symbols is just security through obscurity right?
A library I'm considering uses Boost for a few basic containers (small_vector, bimap, etc). Because of Boost's non-modular design (every header includes most other headers), build times are ridiculous. I removed the Boost dependency and implemented equivalents to all required…
What if an OS fit entirely inside the CPU’s Cache? Turns out we’ve been doing it for decades. CNK, the OS for IBM’s Blue Gene Supercomputer, is just 5,000 lines of tight C++. Designed to “eliminate OS noise”, it lives in the cache after just a few milliseconds of boot.
A very salient point that I think a lot of people miss when considering dependencies on open source projects. Even the ones that aren't a Swiss army knife of features - even slim projects need to cover cases that don't apply to your project.
If you want a specific example of this type of bloat in practise, the open source version of clay is probably 5x the LOC of my original private version, because it covers many cases that only apply to some percentage of users. You could rebuild it for your project in much less!
Such an incredibly insightful exchange on why performance matters. We’re stuck at a plateau in software. Innovation comes only when these bottlenecks get removed.
Exactly. And in FP, the second order effect was a different kind of search. When indexing is fast, searching becomes interactive real-time filtering, rather than a series of search requests where you wait for results on one term, then terminate and start again with a different…
A year later, we know that some of the demos on the Devin launch were cherry-picked. Like the one that faked completing an Upwork task to get paid - but never was. Be careful who you trust - and ask if they have any undisclosed investment in a startup they praise.
These aren't just cherrypicked demos. Devin is, in my experience, very impressive in practice.
Maximally offend every modern design sense in one shot—the Boeing throttle body.
Disk Voyager project in C still takes under 2 seconds for a full recompile in debug mode on my few-years-old laptop (with a Ryzen 7 4700U). Such short compile times have had profound effects on my development. Faster iteration cycles, the freedom to experiment and the joy of…
