Are you american? Should you be held responsible for Trumps' and Musks' actions?
I did not vote for Trump and I think he belongs in prison. I am not responsible as an individual but as an American I do accept that elections have consequences that we are all collectively responsible for. Sovereignty rests with We The People.
The Democratic Party lost a crazy contest to a crazy man and honestly I'm even more furious with the Democrats for losing an election that they had absolutely no business losing than I am with Trump right now.
Regardless, my point was more that the Europeans seem to delight in their heavy-handed regulations and obnoxious court orders rather than address the real issue of why people feel the need to go out of their way to stream sports events via the black market or rolling up their sleeves and providing compelling alternatives to all of these big bad American tech companies they love to hate but can't stop using.
but we all can agree that glibc is trash right? :)
I’d be careful extrapolating from just one benchmark but generally if I had to choose I’d pick the new tcmalloc if I could. It seems to be a higher quality codebase.
The problem with the current tcmalloc, which I agree is very good, is the difficulty of integrating it with random builds. It works well for large systems and especially those that are already bazelized, but I couldn't whip up a quick way to link it to `jq` in this gist.
Thanks for that. I have an innate skepticism of benchmarks from a company who wants to show their solution is best, and it seems their latest results are from 2021, but I couldn't find a better comparison myself either.
I do note that rpmalloc (old), Hermes (not public? doesn't compare with mimalloc) and also snmalloc (also Microsoft) have benchmarks of their own showing themselves to be best in some circumstances.
More than that, based on the basic architecture of JEmalloc, mimalloc and tcmalloc, you should always expect their fragmentation behavior to be better for long-running software than the glibc malloc. (At the expense of consuming substantially more memory for very small programs with only a few allocations of a given size). The glibc malloc has nearly pessimal fragmentation behavior, you are very confused here.
Silent Shout is a fantastic album, but "Heartbeats" is the GOAT.
I feel a bit sad that The Knife evolved into a strange place in their later work that I don't really understand. I guess my tastes are a little too basic to follow along.
