Early Access Policy

Content Release Model

When a dual feature is released, there’s:

  • A video on YouTube
  • An article, time-locked for 6 months
  • Optionally, some bonus “companion” code to the article/video

Here are examples of dual features:

The article version is accessible in advance for sponsors/patrons of tiers Silver and above (~10EUR + VAT/month)

The bonus code, (like in the virtue of unsynn) is accessible for sponsors/patrons of tiers Bronze and above (~5EUR + VAT/month).

Six months after the video is released, the article automatically unlocks for everyone.

Generous sponsors are able to buy a time-release for an exclusive article.

This makes the article accessible for everyone immediately, and adds a banner to the article indefinitely to advertise whatever the generous sponsor would like to.

If you’re interested in buying a time-release for an exclusive article, reach out to [email protected] directly and we can discuss prices and copy!

Profiling linkers

In the wake of Why is my Rust build so slow?, developers from the mold and lld linkers reached out, wondering why using their linker didn’t make a big difference.

Of course the answer was “there’s just not that much linking to do”, and so any difference between mold and lld was within a second. GNU ld was lagging way behind, at four seconds or so.
