tbh I think "concurrently shared memory that has no data races" is pretty significantly different from practically every other example of shared memory out there. you'll get Mem 's behavior in single threaded async s

Since I am not familiar enough with Erlang to know, is that actually the same as concurrent code? I can certainly see how it would share many of the same logical issues, but does sharing an actor imply that you can have non-atomic operation

Yes - deadlocks are not hard to perfectly prevent. It comes with some consequences, but they're not too crazy. Though without provable termination, I don't know of any that prevent livelocks (and many deadlocks just become livelo

Pretty immediately my new favorite hypercube-displaying-exploration article. That's a great, very clear step through the problems and common methods, and I really like the end results. I suspect every attempt will be unsatisfying, but

You always write for an audience. BBC viewers can probably be assumed to know about Doctor Who.

I thought somewhere online there was a relatively-old (Material v1?) breakdown of how Android selects "main" colors (because it does a fairly good job imo), for the Palette¹ class... but I'm having no luck finding it at all.

I haven't had a Mac in about a year, but SteerMouse had been installed on all of them for well over a decade prior to that. Excellent software.

Because the failures are so frequent and often load-bearing that it makes it a negative sum to even attempt to read stuff that appears generated.

You've probably heard of the state of Mac gaming, if you've played video games much at all. Linux has twice the number of active Steam users as Mac, with probably very nearly all of them using Proton to some degree: https:&#x2F

this is equivalent to claiming that automation has no negative side effects at all. we do often choose automation when possible (especially in computer realms), but there are endless examples in programing and other fields of not-so-surpris

Seriously? That sounds incredibly awful - my keepass setup has dozens of domain customizations, there's no way in hell you could apply any rule across the entire internet.

yeah - I do think zip first to bring matching things to the top of your other dropdowns and lookup results (not filter, just prioritize) is almost certainly a good idea, but it's very much not an always-match.

that's kinda what I was looking for tbh. I didn't know that was an option, and nothing in the thread (or article) seemed to imply it was. I was mostly working off "well I could ask claude to look at my code for security pr

a significantly more complex Go, without sufficiently-better perf or usage locations, yea. it'd likely have died rather quickly. the lack of a runtime means it can go a lot of places Go cannot, e.g. other languages can use rust's

Kinda, but if something can be built as an extension, it probably should be. It proves what you can do with the APIs, proves it can be replaced / forked by other people, and ensures a consistent level of isolation by default. And if

Also consistency. I personally hate entries appearing and disappearing (e.g. "copy clean link"), I would much rather have a stable UI with disabled elements if something is sometimes relevant to invisible context (like href attr

You might be surprised to hear that my small business sometimes sees fees at 11% . We blocked that card processor, obviously. But the % is very much not constant across e.g. Visa, often every purchase in a day is slightly different, and w

tbh I think a more realistic depiction would be: Before UTC4ALL: is UB awake? what time zone is UB in? idk, what zone is Melbourne? +11? uh... carry the one... 6:25, maybe a bit early, let's try in an hour[1]. After: is UB awake?

This will never not feel insane to me, it's just because no one wants to say "move classes and work an hour later on [x date]". Somehow changing noon away from noon is a better answer.

Have them emit metrics when it's triggered. You can do a bulk "names X, Y, Z haven't used branch B in >30 days, delete?" task generator pretty easily. Un-triggered ones are also easy to catch if you force all calls to

It's supposed to work by downgrading everyone involved if any are not on RCS, because there is no other option. Which has been working fine for me at least, normal MMS issues aside (MMS delivery is often awful). RCS keeps an "is
