Anyone using intel optane+linux? How great is the performance?

What is Optane? I read a few blurbs on Google, and it seems like it's combining RAM with SSD ?

I don't get what it does.

It's a cache device, intel default behavior should use it as RAM (aka you dont choose what is in it). But I see in some foruns that you can use as storage unit too...

I read it's price is between RAM and SSD. If that is the case, what advantage is there to using it as SSD ?

Capital Letters = machines. 1. I am on A. 2. A can ssh into B. 3. B can talk to machine C. If I Just want to forward one port of C to A, I can do ssh -L ... me@B However, what I want, is to create a "phantom machine D" on local network, where A talking to D on port p gets routed (via B) to talking to machine C on port p. Is this possible? (I want to "ssh forward an entire machine, not just a single port.")

for the next time somebody claims js is a great language:

(function(document){... blah blah}).(document)

isn't that how you get let when your language forgot to include let ?

or ((fn [doc] ...) foo)?

well, that's how you do let without let in clojure, sure

it's all about the parens. at least clojure is consistent.

My current emacs key bindings works wonderfuly on anytying with () [] {} and is terrible to use on anything else.

what are these keybindings like

That's caused me about 30m of confusion with a simple counter example.

@dominicm: will you please forgive me for having a good laff about that?

That's no problem at all 🙂 I shared it for a good laugh

(it's not like i've never spent hours figuring out clojure wierdness. it just seems less random, heh.)

I remember some of my first ones - like (:foo (atom {:foo "bar"})) - > nil

"101" + 1 - 1 = "1010" // rip people writing optimizations paths over javascript

fun fact: (:foo (ref {:foo "bar"})) =>` nil` ((ref {:foo "bar"}) :foo) => "bar"

dude you should make a blog post of these little nuggets. like the fixed pt thing the other day.

@joelsanchez

interesting: https://medium.com/@endigo9740/why-javascript-sucks-from-someone-that-loves-it-94d0c5777e42 but note "the power and simplicity of javascript" (emphasis added). really?

So simple and powerful that, to support JSX, you need Babel

Amazing language

Babel = bolted on macros in a way I guess 🙂

Even if JSX was possible without Babel, JSX is kinda ugly, but that's another thing 🙂

JS has some great things compared to other languages though

First-class functions is not that common out there

c has first class functions

Damn

it's not like you can make them at runtime, and they aren't closures, but they are first class

Closures are another nice feature, and the prototype model is interesting , could have been great changing some very annoying things, idk

Did you know that we could have Lisp as CSS but it was "too powerful"? https://eager.io/blog/the-languages-which-almost-were-css/

i read somehwere javascript originally looked like scheme

but they they wanted it to look like java

and that's how we got javascript
