    Is Erlang special in its architecture or is it more that it’s functional?

    One day I’ll learn how to do purely functional, maybe even purely declarative. But I have to train my brain to think of computer programs like that.

    Is there a functional and/or declarative language that has memory management features similar to Rust as opposed to a garbage collector?

    but literally beating the flagship desktop chips in single-core performance

    See, this is what I despise about x86. AFAIK it’s literally RISC on the bare metal but there are hundreds of “instructions” running microcode which is basically just a translation layer. You’re not allowed to write code for the actual RISC implementation because that’s a trade secret or something. So obviously single core performance would be shit because you’re basically running an emulator all the time.

    RISC-V can’t come fast enough. Maybe someone will even make a chip that’s RISC-V but with the same instruction/microcode support as x86. So you can run RISC-V code directly or do the microcode thing and pretend you’re on x86. Though that would probably get the shit sued out of them by Intel because god forbid there’s actual innovation that the original creator can’t cash in on.








  • Just a reminder, you can’t prove they’re not still conscious somewhere in their mind. Brain “dead” is a misnomer because having dead, rotting tissue in your skull will kill you pretty quickly anyway. You would at the very least have to remove the brain and IDK if you can still keep the body alive then.

    Keeping them alive normally honestly sounds like torture if there’s anything resembling a consciousness still in there, this is just slavery.

    Also, commenting again because I just remembered that I’ve definitely seen depictions of him tied to the cross with rope. Probably because they don’t want to show blood and gore in, say, religious material for children or something? Not sure.

    Still, the idea that you’re okay with showing the public execution of your God but blood is where you draw the line is kind of silly to me.
