I strongly suspect that chronic pain directly reduces fitness by far more than it indirectly (through reminders) might increase it. However, as long as the effects are part of a highly conserved subsystem and also remain mild enough relativ

This got me curious so I looked it up. My understanding is yes on ARM32, not sure on ARM64, and yes with only minor indirection on x86 and x86_64. For example (x86, untested): call 0 pop eax shl eax 1 jmp eax Note that using c

The difference should be readily visible. Various aspects of visual sensitivity can certainly vary between people but I think it's far more likely that your monitor isn't very well calibrated or is possibly just of low quality. In

This is a really good point. I had completely overlooked various deterministic resource cleanup idioms as being equivalent to RAII in all but name.

I believe the LTO implementations of modern compilers handle this for you? ( https://clang.llvm.org/docs/LTOVisibility.html ) Edit: Wow, as a result of your other comment about GCC I was surprised to learn that none of t

I think we're violently agreeing? RAII is the only use case I was speaking of there. Way back up thread the original post I responded to was talking about arena allocators in comparison to a generational GC and finalizers. The point is

I never meant to imply that you could use such tricks without considering the lifetimes of references. Manual memory management already requires being mindful of those though so it's nothing unique to the described situation. Yes Rust

No worries. And to clarify, in context the point is that traversal fundamentally can't be avoided in the case of RAII. This defeats (what I see as) the primary use case of an arena allocator - deallocating an arbitrarily large chunk of

by Reelin 6y ago
Isn't that essentially a tautology? Manual memory management and threading in such languages lacks safety guarantees to begin with.

by Reelin 6y ago
My understanding is that finalizers are special cased for a generational GC, have a tendency to introduce significant overhead, and (as with any GC scheme) generally run at unpredictable times. My impression is that RAII idioms are strongly
404.
by Reelin 6y ago
That's a neat library but as far as I can tell it doesn't avoid any traversal or cleanup code. It appears to delay the cleanup so it all happens at once. That's certainly useful, but if you have RAII the traversal still has t

As far as I understand it you are correct about ToS not generally having much in the way of teeth in the US. But once you download a piece of software you're no longer dealing with the ToS but rather a license granted to you under copy

I think the contrived use case is just for illustrative purposes? If I'm understanding correctly, the combination of cleanup code and deallocation can sometimes consume enough time that it's worth dispatching it on another thread.

A number of serious misunderstandings seem to have developed in our back and forth here and I'm not sure it's worth writing a wall of text to clarify them. Perhaps I didn't previously word things as clearly as would have been

This is a massive improvement to the extent that previously you had to retrain (ie update) the stock model on a specialized dataset to get good results for a particular task.

You keep citing cases regarding private malls. I previously pointed out that a reasonable argument can be made as to why that precedent should not apply. I don't claim to know what the outcome of such an argument would be in court, onl

I would replace "conservatives" with "people in general" and remind everyone that this is why protecting personal freedoms, even ones you don't like, is of the utmost importance.

Except that SCOTUS has already at least flirted with the idea (see Packingham v. North Carolina, 2017). Also the executive order in question doesn't have anything to do with public spaces but rather Section 230 protections; the argumen

I don't agree with the executive order at all, but the person you responded to doesn't have the situation backwards. People (such as yourself, and myself as it happens) will claim that this order violates the first amendment. Howe

I'm pretty sure that doesn't qualify. To my mind that's training or study of a trade which is distinct from practicing (ie getting paid for) it. Where it gets weird is cases where the delineation between practice and study is
