Pretty much, yes. I think that assumption turned bad a really long time ago?
Interruptible sounds like a very strong requirement. Just being able to wait for the result sanely is enough, I think. A process may then decide to lose interest halfway, but having the result be undefined and fds invalid is just fine, from what I've seen in e.g. node.js/libuv.
- microcolonel 10y agoKeep in mind that local storage is getting lower latency year over year. NVMe was a big step, but there could soon be more hardware memory mapped flash storage (like DIMM SSDs), and 3D XPoint. I think the overhead will soon exceed the operation in terms of cost, especially if it's asynchronous.
