Ah, finally. A tool that will serve the needs of the common man. Just the other day I was talking to a bus driver at a bar and he was telling me that he wanted to be booking last-minute flights to ski at a day's notice, but that he wis

I've used Neocities for something like two years now to host my game development portfolio and other miscellaneous docs. I've been super happy with the ease of creating and uploading content, and I recommend it whenever somebody t

I think this is super cool contrast with the US government's decision to expand the interstate highway system after WWII. While highways certainly were able to connect American cities in ways which were never before possible, the bet o

Multi-user VR is really, really cool. It seems that Facebook is betting heavily on headset prices coming down (which they will, obviously) which will allow their metaverse to become the de facto virtual hangout space. That two bundo FB shel

The distinction between analogies-as-tools of understanding vs. analogies-as-entertainment is fascinating, and not something that I'd ever consciously thought about before. However, I have certainly seen the separation between the &quo

"Capitalism Imitates Life" Spot on comparison though. Just proves that millions of years of evolution has solved a bunch of problems for us if we know where to look.

The best part about black twitter is how dynamic and innovative it is. There is a certain playfulness with language which is frowned upon in many academic settings & especially by linguistic prescriptivists, but healthy languages change

I'm another member of the TI-83 club. Shoutouts to the little L who made it all possible. Initially I used it in math to avoid having to do the rote computations, but eventually I started building other stuff. I built a simple game tha

This techno-utopianism "solution" fails to understand that the basic goal of a political party is to get people elected into office, full stop. Even if your radical decentralised crowdfunded party makes you feel good, if you'

That's like saying "you can compile C to x86 ASM, so C is as fast as assembly" Abstraction has costs. They can be reduced, but they don't evaporate.

Amazon recruits heavily along fresh CS grads, so there's always more flesh for the fire. As an intern, I worked on a team that was rapidly spinning apart. We were resource constrained, one of the team members was in Ireland (and he alw

This game simulates at a granularity that is light-years beyond anything else that exists, so it's only fitting that the dev notes should contain goals which are absolutely impossible to imagine in any other game.

On my side I've experimented in the code a bunch with the number of goroutines as well as the number of different CPUs handling the requests, and although they seem to alter the nature of the image the program still produces output in

Alas, I've been hording almost all of the most interesting images I've created using the process, but I wrote up a short piece when I got the initial program running [1], and I do have a few examples of pictures generated using th

Well, in my case specifically, it was a program that generated coloured images based on a set of simple rules (namely, don't reuse the same RGB colour for any pixel & try to be as close to the colour of neighbouring pixels as possi

I think you're probably right, but this whitepaper gave me a sliver of hope that my goroutines might be free to work some nondeterministic magic once again
501.
by Kapura 10y ago
I did test in 1.6, and the performance and output were still significantly worse than in 1.4. The part I'm saddest about is that because some of the goroutines abuse involved literally building in a race condition, the aggressive garba

I have a generational art program that I wrote under Go 1.4 which was absolutely crushed by 1.5's GC. The program heavily abuses goroutines, so I'm cautiously optimistic that this optimisation would allow me to keep my version of

It seems like a classic example of ignoring the negative externalities. Luckily, we live in a connected world where it is sometimes easy to trace the after-effects. I understand the desire to personally maintain as few of one's own ser

I'm particularly struck by your thought that privileged groups "will slowly sour over not being given equal opportunity and float away," when the entire point of this move is to help people who _actually_ have not been given

It alienates far more fragile white guys than the groups she's looking to employ. An unfortunate sacrifice, but necessary none the less.
