Jimmy clearly ripped off my website. His website even has my name in the contact information at the bottom! The gall of some people…

It looks really good, just like one I set up recently myself…

just goes to show: size is relative :-)

Thanks for the resources. I’m old school, and so far haven’t really looked into Rust; I look forward to watching the talk you linked to.

When I compiled that program, the executable was around 10MB. I wrote the same program in C, and the executable was 15kB. That’s about 3 orders of magnitude difference. Is Rust really 1000 times better than C? :-)

Presumably they mean that the CPU resources are over-provisioned, meaning that the virtual CPUs allocated to VMs have to share a smaller pool of physical CPUs. If the VMs have a lot of idle time, this can work well, but if your VM suddenly needs more CPU, the processes on your VM might need to wait for a physical CPU, as physical CPU cycles that would normally be available to you have been “stolen away” by processes running on other VMs.

If I had more time, I would have written a shorter comment…
