I too like sherry-cask scotch--which are your favorite expressions? (Also, good lord, thank you for tilting at this windmill...Really blocked on Stockfighter?)

Interesting. I did the same investigation myself a few years back, but was frustrated by the lack of the -r flag for shuf(1). It seems that's been added at some point recently (though many of my systems do not have it--GNU coreutils

You mind sharing who you moved the accounts to? I'm handling this exact case for a overseas relative and it's proving no end of hassle.

Try breaking that down by age and marital status. See for instance: http://jonathansoma.com/singles/#1/3/2/0 It certainly isn't 2:1 - that was hyperbole - but it's bad. And it doesn't ac

FM capture, perhaps? FM reception is naturally much more resilient to interference so long as the absolute magnitude of the interfering signal is lower.

I don't have data on this, but I am willing to bet your German definition of "notoriously late" is much more stringent than an American's. (Not that you're wrong to think that: we've just gotten used to extrem

"We" is "infrastructure teams at Google". You apparently work there too, my username is the same. RCU is an overloaded name; it's both a family of implementations of epochs, and a pattern for using epoch-like system

Very nice. RCU like this can be very effective (we have a custom per-cpu version based on https://lwn.net/Articles/650333/ here, which scales better than per-thread versions for obvious reasons.) I'm glad to

It also assumes he consumed zero dollars from then til now. If he wanted to have a wealthy lifestyle, and can you really blame him, these passive returns drop quickly.

Volatile \neq frequently traded; tax is not affected by commission rate. I find it highly unlikely that almost anyone should trade anything frequently, even in the weirder corners of their portfolio.

If the commission rate affects your IRA return, you are trading far too much.

I would be very happy to find such a person in Seattle.

In principle, yes, but then you'd need considerable coordination with the compiler. The two things you'd need - "Don't use these registers in this scope": not out of the range of possibility, but not well supported

Historical reasons--it's an adaptation of a (weirder, but uninteresting) internal interface which we couldn't really put good types on for ~reasons.

I've been chiming in on LKML periodically, is this getting discussed elsewhere too?

Anyone have questions about this? Paul and I are responsible for this tech at Google, and we use it extensively for speeding up low-level tricks up to and including userspace RCU without any memory barriers _anywhere_ on the read paths.

Well, to be fair, no, we couldn't do this, at least not for any significant fraction of the population. The carrying capacity for a traditional HG society is a tiny fraction of an agricultural one (there should be more deer than humans

Also worth noting: under normal conditions on Linux, malloc will never fail--unless you set something like a rlimit on address space, mmap will happily hand you as much address space as you want, then OOM-kill you (or worse, someone else...

I suspect this is a significant underestimate: glibc heavily relies on generated assembly (they have a set of scripts to generate boilerplate asm functions for system calls) and inline assembly (which gets defined once, probably counted as

True from Sacramento onward, but north of there it goes through Shasta et al and is quite pretty.

FWIW: I get a vastly superior experience from Seattle utilities than Comcast or any number of other private services. About my worst complaint is that PSE (the local natural gas company) has a hokey early 2000s website with ugly visual des

They're not comparing Dutch pensions to your defined-contribution plan, but to American defined-benefit pensions, which you don't have. Why not? Because it's essentially illegal for anyone to offer one to you without funding

The mechanics are: you go to any bar and the ratio is about 10:1 on a _good_ night. All the girls are sick of seeing tech people and so will ask you what you do, and when they hear "Google", "Facebook", "tech"

Why are you surprised to hear this? You're hardly the first person I'd expect to not realize the social stigma most men in the tech industry face trying to date; combine that with the supply/demand in the Bay and you should

More likely: much worse game and they don't bother trying to succeed. Dating while working at Google sucks.
