Try NetBSD and its npf firewall and tell us about the performance.

libx | 4 years ago | on: Perl Turns 34 Today

Hi Perl fans!

I've never programmed in Perl, but a couple years ago I read a Raku book and was delighted with the language. At the time, I was interested in learning a new scripting language. Raku and Tcl were at stake. I built a small script to compare the run speed and Raku was about 40 times slower than Tcl for my use case, if my memory is not betraying me. So, I went for Tcl that I also like very much.

Still, there's some opportunity for Perl, as I may need it in the short future.

From the features of Raku that are mentioned in the home page, namely: 1. Object-oriented programming including generics, roles and multiple dispatch 2. Functional programming primitives, lazy and eager list evaluation, junctions, autothreading and hyperoperators (vector operators) 3. Parallelism, concurrency, and asynchrony including multi-core support 4. Definable grammars for pattern matching and generalized string processing 5. Optional and gradual typing

what are the ones that will be available for Perl7, which I've already read that will be similar to the last Perl5 with saner defaults?

libx | 4 years ago | on: Why Lisp? (2015)

Everyday there's at least a post about Lisp. But I see none about TCL that is as regular in syntax as Lisp. Some call it a Lisp without parenthesis.

TCL is also very stable between releases, it has industrial strength and threading support.

But it lacks advocacy. It could get one tenth of what Lisp gets...

He's been abusing people as well. So many injured by the poison injections they call 'vaccines'. So many suffering from diseases that he did everything to hide the causes and treatments from the public. See the 'Plandemics' video, for example.

Psychopaths. So much suffering that these people are causing others. And the great majority of people still decide to believe in the Government and in the pharmaceutical pseudo studies. There will be a selection of people: the dumb, injected by poison that believe in the propaganda, apart from the ones that are able to think rationally and logically and also feel what's going on.

Each has to decide what path to walk on life. Consequences will accrue shortly for the scientism believers.

Why don't you check NetBSD's npf? It's not yet as featured as pf but will be. And NetBSD is a very stable system.

Nazism equals national socialism.

This dictatorship is about international socialism. Either people awake or we get like the frog in boiling water.

The power of the corporations is only a facade. The real power is of the owners of the money, FED, pharmaceuticals, food, etc, that are a few families.

libx | 5 years ago | on: Ask HN: Benford's Law and 2020 Presidential Election

Perhaps the fraud can never be proven, but there's no doubt for me that it happened. Maybe the Benford anomaly is the confirmation of something strange that can be observed in these images: https://twitter.com/daphnechen_/status/1324014079061745674

For four years, despite all the lies, the attacks on Trump's dignity, the massive and ferocious media brain wash, Trump got eight millions more votes. Trump got between 15 to 30 thousand people at each rally during the campaign, Biden could not even join 30. Let's see if the people seeking truth can prove what really happened.

libx | 5 years ago | on: Show HN: Arturo – REBOL-inspired programming language and VM written in Nim

I had interest in Rebol and Red, but lost it. Lost the interest because of what you mention, but also because building algorithms with it imply a big cognitive load for me. Since then, I'm very happy with TCL, one of the inspirations for Rebol. Its syntax is regular, it's a professional tool, conservative, i.e. doesn't break code at each new release, has great GUI with Tk, and many other advantages.
