Risking being down voted, I doubt that c++ is the right language for bare metal development at all with its constraints like exceptions and RTTI. Rust seems to be the modern and safer version of C that is more appropriate for bare metal dev

No. The reason they don't use exceptions is because they lead to unreliable code that is difficult to maintain. There are other ways to indicate error situations such as returning error result that caller must handle.

Now it's going to start reporting to (new) mothership. Whatever that means.

How often would you find a situation where lock free data queue or stack would bring huge performance gains? Usually bad performance comes from a poor choice of data structure(s), bad data locality or by locking is too coarse or too fine ca

Not really. Lots of applications where lock free algorithms are justified usually implement their own memory allocators.

by amaks 10y ago
You call malloc in your implementation -- you realize that memory allocation takes lock at some point, right? To make it truly lock or wait free you need to implement a corresponding memory allocator as well.

> Thus lock-free data structures were developed which magically did not need locking and thus could operate blazingly fast. This is wrong assumption. With lock-free data structures you don't skip waiting for your right to access dat

Also, nobody is using select and poll in Linux these days, epoll is the way to go.

> Linux in particular used to have a very questionable virtual memory implementation³, but I suspect it's been much improved. The document you're referencing is written in 1999. I suspect a lot has changed since then.

I've been primarily concerned if they store data encrypted at rest, with my own key.
145.
by amaks 10y ago
Do they offer end-to-end encryption? If they use ZFS I assume they should have checksums that detect data corruption.

Pretty straightforward goal like others mentioned - de-prioritize publishers, get them pay more to promote their posts, prioritize them back. Nothing has changed, publishers pay more. So much for "focus on Friends and Family".
