Behind The Scenes of Bun Install Learn how Bun is able to cut install times by up to 25ร—. Bun skips Node.js's overhead with direct system calls, cache-friendly data layouts, OS-level copy-on-write, and full-core parallelism.

"This is why Bun treats package installation as a systems programming problem. Fast install speeds come from minimizing system calls and leveraging every OS-specific optimization available."

I think, you cannot get this kind of leader if they are in their 70s unless they've been smart all their lives and continues learning even if it becomes more difficult either because of age or long-held biases.

Not surprising from Microsoft. Big companies will want to keep you in, that's their nature. I only use it for games now for ones that can't be run on Linux. All else I do on my Arch which hasn't really been a problem for years unless I am fiddling something nasty.

Why Japan's Economy Is Awful
YouTube video by 2 and 20 Why Japan's Economy Is Awful

I have wondered why Japan, from my grade-school pov of course, doesn't exactly lead the world in innovations as much in the context of NVidia or AMD or some kind of TSMC -- it's because they are stuck and had to deal with an aging population

After messing with several Linux distros through the years, I kept coming back to Arch. And of course, I will always do the installation with MatMoul's `archfi` build script #archlinux

"Rise of Bluesky may create progressive 'echo chamber'"

Is that what they call being in a place that's not an absolute cesspool? Because I feel this is better as a place to exchange and listen to ideas.

Also can we have a blue butterfly emoji now? #bsky #bluesky

Got a new toy! A pre-loved Lenovo Flex 5 that I intend to use for travelling. Let's see if it can hold to my beloved Thinkpad T440p.

Of course it's going to have #archlinux in it. Only 512Mb disk but should be plenty for most things even with a Windows partition in it

In the market for a nice pair of battery replaceable earphones. Looks like it's still earbud era and Sony WH-1000XM4 is in the lead next to Fairphones which ... is not available for purchase in Australia.

I am hesistant to use my current headphones because it's bulky and wired which can be a hassle

There's something nice about bsky. Sure there's still political posts as it's reality now but I get a sense that there's more genuine people to listen to, especially specialists in their field.
