   > Older alternatives like sandbox-2 exist, but they provide isolation near the OS level, not the language level. At that point we might as well use Docker or VMs.

   No,no, Docker is not a sandbox for untrusted code.

   Then one day they suddenly stop. I hear a big noise but outside is completely silent to my mother.

   Lua having a JIT compiler seems like a big difference though. It was a while since that got major updates, but probably relevant at the time?

   Wow... yes sounds like a library to avoid!

   I have not only used linear programming in the industry, I have also had to write my own solver because the existing ones (even commercial) were to slow. (This was possible only because I only cares about a very approximate solution)

   The triangulations you mention are important in the current group I'm working in.

    > that make use of another garbage-collecting runtime, such as Jython

    I think that is mostly of historical interest. For example, it still does not support Python 3 and has not been updated in a very long time

    Jellyfin is mostly for a single household, right? Sqlite should be much more than sufficient for Jellyfin (if used correctly). Unfortunately, reading this article you get the impression that they are not using it optimally

    > Unfortunately, the extremely shallow depth of field in macro photography completely throws this process off. If you feed unsharp photos into it, the resulting model will contain unsharp areas as well.

    Should be possible to model the focal depth of the camera directly. But perhaps that is not done in standard software. You still want several images with different focus settings

    What do you mean exactly? C FFI has always been able to release the GIL manually.

    > Installation This was supposed to take a week and a half, two weeks max. It took more than a month.

    This sounds very strange to me. I installed ACs on all three floors in my house in a day. (Not in the US)

    I don't think it makes perfect sense. For one, group selection isn't widely accepted by evolutionists.

    > Many vector types include a capacity field, so that resizing on every push can be avoided. I do not include one, because simplicity is more important to me and realloc often does this already internally. In most scenarios, the performance is already good enough.

    I think this is the wrong decision (for a generic array library).

    It's pretty big vertically as well. IMAX is close to 4:3
