the wandering cunt

Life in general is boring. Here are some daily adventures, in search of aha-moments, which demonstrate what is commonly called patience.

  • - listening to some dork talk about what they want until they mention something you have to offer them
  • - collecting the complaints of social media users across tens of thousands of words to find the aggregate motivation
  • - reading hundreds of algebraic tokens in computer code before figuring out what the whole thing does
  • - cooking : to reach a consumable product
  • - other chores, cleanings of this and that
  • - going to sleep : what, awake again? 

Philosophy of : preemptive multitasking : by language runtime

Group 1 : C, Java, Rust  :

{ Expensive, Fast, Preemption } : 

kernel-space "OS" thread scheduling : 

Single-box-optimised : best raw performance potential under such limitations : scaling-out requires some reinvention, lacking best-in-class-reliability.


Group 2 : BEAM/OTP, Haskell, Go :

{ Cheap, Slow, Preemption } : 

user-space "green" thread scheduling :

Web-scale-optimised : BEAM/OTP has best-in-class-reliability, but trails in raw performance until scale-out overtakes scale-up. ( Go has a generalist position; Haskell is more for research; neither of these have BEAM/OTP's unique quality. )


Group 3 : Python, Ruby, PHP, JavaScript, WebAssembly :

{ No Preemption i.e. Only Cooperation } :

global interpreter lock : 

Beginner-optimised : best for prototyping : quickest to learn : good-enough for single-box setups : scaling-out requires some reinvention, and lacks both, best-in-class-reliability, and raw performance potential.


  • Group 3 : I suppose here, I remain, for now. A puny student.
  • As a corollary, work to improve scale-up or scale-out while working in Group 3, is a distraction.

ethnic microaggressions in Malaysia : ontological roots

Or, in business we simply say we cannot manage what we cannot count. ("Do what?", depends on "what exists?".)

Of course here, I'm referring to the constitution of Malaysia as the point of introduction of [ ethnic economic discrimination ].

In case it wasn't clear : my point is that Malaysia is stuck with this [ kedukaan sebangsa Malaysia ] , so you can't fix the little legal microaggressions like daily coloured-treatment, unless you fix the constitution altogether.

Too bad. Malaysia boleh!


Selagi adanya perbezaan kami/kita, perpaduan tidaklah tercapai di Malaysia. :)

Perpisahan sudah termaktub (buat masa ini).
