How do I know if my comment is lame before you tell me what to think?

Why is it that the fed has to do overnight loans? I would think if interest rates rise, anyone would want those short term gains and would sell assets to have enough cash to get at the easy fast money of the repo market.

The 'problems' keep changing. Most people don't need or want to run a full node or even sync with the whole chain. Even so, anyone with $100 can buy 1 TB of SSD space and anyone who can stream netflix has an internet connect

Most informed people would say that the scam is that the original Bitcoin was taken over so that its throughout could be stifled and the people controlling it could sell an awkward and unnecessary second layer. When one side says the other

In the previous scenario the cpu isn't running using virtual memory and doesn't need to go through the kernel to do something outside of writing to its isolated memory space. It can write to certain memory addresses that make up

You are likely just benchmarking the time it takes to print one million lines to stdout.

No, because you aren't writing directly to the frame buffer, you have to go through drivers, kernels and PCIe bus.

Why would it be high overhead if work is only stolen when a core has run out of work?

I can't tell if common things getting redefined is mostly from clueless journalists or clueless tech workers that think they are inventing everything for the first time in their first year on the job.

If indexing arrays starting at 1 is a big problem, either the language is fantastic or you aren't challenging yourself. Programming gets a lot harder than that.

You can easily reprogram keys and switch key caps.

That's just part of C and C++. When people do 'unity builds' to make larger compilation units the same rule applies. I think it is much more about avoiding the preprocessor as much as possible than some sort of fatal flaw wi

Is that actually common? Basing a matte off of the depth map would be extremely noisy and low resolution without some big time filtering.

This only includes the implementation if a certain IMPL symbol is defined, so it doesn't 'spill' the implementation every time it is included. That wouldn't work anyway because you would get multiple definitions. Single

What do you mean by 'this kind of thing'? You didn't actually state any arguments against single header libraries.

by BubRoss 7y ago
How is that different.from anything else in C or C++? What does that have to do with single header libraries? Preprocessor isolation is just now possible with C++ modules.

This was a very simple question and instead of answering it directly you linked a page with 2000 words of disclaimers and license agreements.

That's illegal in California, but in Canada you will see things like that come up, even to the extent of saying the company owns anything you think of while employed there.

Javascript is a flexible and fluid language in my opinion. Using modern JITs gets you a scripting language that is many times faster than other languages, but Node.js itself is based around async callbacks for the simplest stuff with no e

by BubRoss 7y ago
Node is a total nightmare even if you like javascript. The async everything nonsense makes basic tasks impossible without nesting callbacks within callbacks within callbacks.

This is someone advertising their ebook they are selling on Amazon. You probably didn't know that from the title, because it doesn't tell you anything.

I would rather let the compiler do that. If that's what you were talking about, why did you say 'bitfields aren't atomic' ?

by BubRoss 7y ago
Most people get the partition algorithm wrong on their first try if they write it themselves.

by BubRoss 7y ago
When dealing with lock free algorithms the amount of bits that you can do a compare and swap on are limited. For x64 it is 64 bits unaligned or 128 bits aligned. Needing to use all of these bits as efficiency as possible is common and bit

Largely academic? That is just not true in any sense. Bitfields are extremely important in many cases, not the least of which is making lock free data structures where you need to pack in information that can be atomically swapped.
