I'm not a quick witted person. In fact, I’ve always been worried about my brain’s slow processing time. But recently, I've realised that slow processing time is not as much of an issue as I thought it was. And even if I was wrong about that, I still think I’d do better for myself by leaning into it, instead of spending energy trying to fight it.

Default musl allocator considered harmful to performance

TLDR: In a real world benchmark, the default musl allocator caused a 7x slowdown compared to other allocators. I recommend all Rust projects immediately add the following lines to their application’s main.rs : // Avoid musl's default allocator due to lackluster performance // https://nickb.dev/blog/default-musl-allocator-considered-harmful-to-performance #[cfg(target_env = "musl" )] #[global_allocator] static GLOBAL : mimalloc ::MiMalloc = mimalloc::MiMalloc; And Cargo.toml [ target .

How to slow down a program and why it can be useful

Most research on programming language performance asks a variation of a single question: how can we make some specific program faster? Sometimes we may even investigate how we can use less memory. This means a lot of research focuses solely on reducing the amount of resources needed to achieve some computational goal. So, why on earth might we be interested in slowing down programs then? Slowing Down Programs is Surprisingly Useful! Making programs slower can be useful to find race conditions

5 Galaxy AI features that actually make my life easier on a Samsung phone

Prakhar Khanna / Android Authority I’ve been using the Galaxy Z Fold 7 since its launch and recently switched to the Flip 7. Apart from the Good Lock features and One UI 8 customizations, there’s another Samsung feature that has stood out for me in recent times. To my surprise, I have grown used to certain Galaxy AI features. I am not heavily reliant on them, but they do make my life easier… sometimes. In fact, I miss parts of Galaxy AI when I put my SIM in other phones for testing. From regul

Tech in the Classroom: A History of Hype and Hysteria

If you’re a parent, an educator, or just someone who’s been to school, you’ve probably developed an opinion about generative AI in classrooms. You might fear the demise of the five-paragraph essay, the ever-increasing ease of cheating, or, worse, the end of critical thinking altogether. But don’t worry: The anxiety surrounding large language models in schools is anything but unprecedented. In 1975, teachers fretted that handheld calculators would undermine students’ capacity to “handle basic sk

On Monday, Ford announced plans for an affordable electric truck with a 2027 delivery date and an expected price tag of about $30,000, thanks in part to a new manufacturing process that it says will help cut costs. This could be the shot in the arm that the slowing US EV market needs. If anything can get Americans excited, it’s a truck, especially an affordable one. However, there are some significant hurdles in the way. EV sales are slowing, and Ford in particular has struggled recently. Th

Why Is Web Performance Undervalued?

Why is Web Performance Undervalued? Web performance is one of those things so fundamental to businesses that you would expect them to absolutely nail it. If consumers care about performance, which seems to be true, then in an efficient, competitive market you would expect businesses to be under immense pressure to optimize it. And yet, poor web performance is ubiquitous. Huge companies across the board are shipping websites and web apps so sluggish that it is killing the web. The economic upsid

How slow motion became cinema’s dominant special effect

About 20 years ago, a neuroscientist named David Eagleman strapped a bunch of students into harnesses, hoisted them to the top of an imposing metal tower, and then, without warning, dropped them 150 feet. Though the students landed safely in nets, the experience was—by design—terrifying. Eagleton wanted to simulate the feeling of plummeting to one’s death. His goal was to figure out why survivors of near-death experiences almost always said the same thing: “It felt like the world was going in sl
