You could do something like this more efficiently using eBPF I bet. E.g. based on TCPLife https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/blob/master/tools/tcplife.py

That's true, but at least you can handle backpressure at the runtime level and just choose a predetermined strategy for dealing with it (i.e. start dropping messages, exponential backoff, etc)

It's not that threads are necessarily a bad idea (though they can be for performance reasons), but that programming with most synchronization primitives is a bad idea. If you program with message passing, then it's not much differ

Do you happen to have a CV or something available? What sort of remote job are you looking for? I will do my best to see if I know of anything that might be a good fit for you. I am in the Toronto area as well.

And it can be 0.something, which is a subnormal number. 0 and 1 because it's binary floating point, as you could have decimal IEEE 754 floats too.

This is a good reason to use Github only as a read-only mirror and just do all development elsewhere. That way you don't have to deal with drive-by issues / PRs from people who just want to complain or won't put in follow up

I'm not sure how it would work with this, since I've never used it, but Dhall does have some kind of recursive merge operator that might work https://docs.dhall-lang.org/references/Built-in-types.html#i... . Y

There are also data structures such as zippers which are immutable but minimize the amount of data you need to copy, at the cost of potentially using more space overall. Zippers are cool because they can be generalized to many different typ

Replication is not a backup as was already mentioned. A great example of this is when the KDE project almost lost all of their Git repos because they were mirroring a corrupted copy of the data. https://www.phoronix.com/scan

If you use `kill -9` to exit vim, you might find your terminal in a weird state, because they are most likely using the `atexit` function to reset your termios settings to normal, but that doesn't happen if you `kill -9` it.

I agree, the graphic novel was entertaining, but not an accurate portrayal of their lives. If you're looking for something more factual, then Russell's own autobiography is a good place to start. Also "The Cambridge Companion

As someone who took a few university courses on analytic philosophy covering Russell, I've never heard anyone suggest he "sold out". Maybe that's just people who aren't really familiar with Russell or his personal l

Most of mine are going to be books by philosophers or scientists (about philosophy or other things). - The Conquest of Happiness by Bertrand Russell was a pretty good one. He has a lot of ideas that were ahead of their time (positive psycho

Their argument seems to be that "California law allows us to do it", and "it's protecting us from employees creating competing products". The problem I see with that is 1) They don't have to do everything the
