Multiple hundreds of millions to shoot in the desert with red cameras and add buildings behind armored people with their hair hidden? Plenty of movies have been done like that and they didn't become the most expensive movies ever made

When shooting at a location, the owner is payed a location fee. Detailed and specialized photography has been used at locations for decades at this point. This is a refinement of what is already happening, not something completely new.

Environmental footprint? A local trade show, movie theater or small office building probably uses more electricity. Let's try to keep things in perspective.

This makes me wonder what the numbers are for Costco, who pays their employees very well.

What tool? That's windows' behavior. I would agree that locking a file and preventing deletion is good or possibly queueing a file for deletion when it is free, but windows does not handle this scenario well.

It's the right thing to give an error that some process has the file open but never tell you which process that is?

This is likely very obtainable - cars are already at least double the cost as they would be in most other parts of the world. The permits to drive a car around is usually as much as the car itself. The people driving can afford to make the

Retry until it gets the lock and don't hold the lock longer than you need to to write to the db. Really though if you are trying to read and write to a db concurrently and over the network, it sounds much more clear cut for something l

If that were true, it wouldn't make any sense to write a 'wow this is a cool hacker news reader' title.

Jpeg2000 was a dud because of licensing and patents, not having a year in the name.

Why didn't you just do more granular writes and let the different processes lock the file? SQLite is impressively fast, it can handle a lot before you need a full database.

This is a brand new name obviously made just to post this with the original title of 'wow this is a cool hacked news reader'. This is some side project and it is somewhere between a demo and total nonsense. It had a title that se

I literally gave using the non normalized ray for ray tracing as an example. (Also in practice floating point inaccuracy doesn't become a huge problem since you have to design around floats not being exact in the first place. Spheres c

Incorrect results will manifest. If you take the dot product of a surface normal and another vector and they aren't the same length, the dot product will be distorted by the lengths of the vectors. Ray direction and ray length might b

What you are talking about is data transfer and storage, but what IOTA seems to claim is that somehow the math for cryptography changes and is better when it is 'trinary'.

What are you basing that on? It seems like you made it up out of nowhere.

Most people aren't going to register or check the QR code unless you have to go use what they bought. Game codes are basically a version of this. What could happen at some point is unique UPCs that show where and when something was sol

If you talk to IOTA believers about these questions they will just spin you in circles. They will tell you that trinary computing/encryption is better, more secure, better for IOT, etc. If you ask what that even means and why it would

Right, you said that, but why would they assume some random third person tracked down the dependency?

Why would they assume that?

How does inlining happening in C++ mean that the asm in C isn't predictable? Even with inlining the point is mostly the same - there aren't small program changes that lead to big changes in what is generated.

This seems to actually be about the hough transform which finds lines, and making that into perspective. That's pretty far from a universal computer vision algorithm and 'russian scientists creating neural network eyes'.

This is one of the worst articles I've ever read. It has the grammar and focus of a terrible youtube comment.

I don't think this confronts anything I said. Bulk allocations with custom allocators would either be exactly what I said (low malloc calls) or would just not use malloc at all and use the system memory mapping functions. The larger po

All modern common implementations (I think). MSVC's malloc definitely locks. I think gcc, clang and icc do too. This is a big reason why tcmalloc and jemalloc were created.

by BubRoss 7y ago
malloc takes out a global lock and performance doesn't 'grind to a halt' from a single allocation. Hundreds of thousands of allocations per second per core and concurrency will suffer, but most programs either don't act
