Ah, yes, another #love #letter to "Zig" and the mystical art of squeezing nanoseconds from #code. 🤓 Because, obviously, the world is desperate for yet another language to do what C and Rust already do with better documentation and fewer existential crises. 💻✨ Can we finally be done with these #Turing tarpit escapades?

The Chicago Bulls were reportedly “very, very impressed” with Drake Powell during workouts https://www.rawchili.com/nba/68366/ #Basketball #blog #Bulls #Chicago #ChicagoBulls #ChicagoBulls #drake #during #FrontPage #heel #impressed #NBA #NBADraft #powell #reportedly #Tar #the #UncTarHeelsBasketball #very #were #with #workouts
Yes. Berkeley FFS broke things up into cylinder groups and had an allocation policy of putting various things in the same CG and other things not, because much the same idea was also useful for reducing seeks on discs.
(Even OS/2 got in on the act. (-: Its FAT filesytem driver put the extended attributes record for every file in front of the file data where it could. Which was why it was a bad idea to defragment the "EA DATA. SF" file so that it ended up stuffed all at the start of the volume.)
And the elevator algorithm in the block cache would at least make the tape do straight runs in one direction and then rewind, where it could.
Putting filesystem *and* swap on tape boggles the mind, though. (-:
Even with Ryan's generous posting limits here on this node, there wasn't room to expand on what "wildly adventurous" encompassed, but it definitely encompassed having the right magtape kit.
So of course DECTape. (-: People like this ran their Unices on DEC kit.
Random old Usenet example:
https://groups.google.com/g/comp.os.vms/c/R6BtGeKB640/m/-RuOQO0WICgJ
There's an earlier reference in that thread to someone having both filesystem and swap on tape having been reported on in the BSTJ.
And I've been reminded, the subject of #rwhod having come up earlier this week, that there was once an rtar command for accessing other people's magtape devices over the Internet.
Usefully, there's a comp.sources.unix index in what I'm backing up with #pax, so I looked it up. It says that rtar was in volume 2 in 1985.
For some people, #retrocomputing is running FreeDOS.
But today's retrocomputing experience for me is doing a backup with #pax .
Years ago, one backed up to magnetic tape with tar. That's what it was actually *for*. The 't' stands for "tape" after all.
But the wildly adventurous would, with the tape already blocked, just mount the device as a filesystem and use ordinary filesystem commands. It would be really slow, and seek like mad, as filesystems of the time were still doing things like putting all of the i-nodes into a big table at the start of the volume. But it would work.
One in the eye for those "peecee" users with their toy operating systems that were restricted to "disk drives", with letters. (-:
Mounting a TF card connected over USB and then just doing pax -r -w has echoes of that past. Certainly, the speed compared to the internal DASD, and the fact that sync visibly stops everything in its tracks, helps with giving the old time experience.
