Well, yes, I read code of (and contribute to) the kernel and web browsers I use, but that's not really relevant. There's a big difference between "large, structured projects developed by thousands of companies with a clear go

The convenience of such a tool is great, but it's also ~5000 lines of bash across the two main scripts. I'd want to vet such a thing before I run it, but I also really don't want to read 5000 lines of bash.

A subsidiary is just an asset like any other. When liquidating company, it's assets are split between creditors to pay back the debt. Granted, it's very weird to have the parent die. Normally you have subsidiaries to isolate risk,

The compiler has built-ins for parts of libc exactly because dynamic linkage is ridiculous for performance, but they cannot statically link with a dynamic libc. It's a hack to make dynamic linked libc have at least somewhat acceptable

It's really important to emphasize how small caches are (especially as even the KBs they have cannot always be fully utilized). When we talk about processor caches, we're trying to make the current routine of one process fit wel

No it is not. Depending on your CPU, you might have, say, 32KB of 8-way associative instruction cache per core. Just being shared does not make it fit in the cache. A shared library would only be there across processes of different execut

Static linking gives you better instruction cache utilization as you are executing local code linearly rather than going through indirection with more boilerplate. This indirection costs a few cycles too. Inlining external code reduces the

Static linked binaries are a generally lot smaller than a dynamically linked library and its dependencies, especially with link-time optimizations and inlining. You wouldn't want have 100 tools statically link the entirety of chromiu

If you are using the presence of differences not related to ours in other species as proof that our common differences in our behavior is biological, then it's going to be uphill from here. Animal behaviors are all over the place. E.

Differences in male and female behavior being attributed to biological differences is just as foolish as considering the world flat, because "that's what we know is true". Males and females are known to take on similar activi

RL3 and RL4 are both heating elements in slot 1 - likely just one heating element with a tap somewhere - that indeed acts like a voltage divider. The power to the circuit flows from in between those heating elements, through a single rectif

> A network where all nodes are fully connected to every other node and data can be routed through secondary indirect paths if the primary direct path fails is absolutely a mesh network. Yes, that is a classical partially connected mesh

by arghwhat 3y ago
A network where every node has a direct connection is a point-to-point network. Yes, it is a special-case called a fully-connected mesh, but these networks are rarely made (a fully-connected mesh of 32 servers require 32 NICs in each server

I was speaking from the perspective of a network, where you'd want to distinguish between a direct connection between two computers, and a network where you need to cooperate for routing. This is not a ring because it is not configured

Nit: This is not a mesh. With only 3 nodes, it's not even a ring but just a direct connection between servers. A "real" ring is formed when you have more than 3 nodes and so some destinations require more than one hop. A mesh

The machines are not configured as "routers" in that example. It is just a point-to-point layer 2 network, where each network link serves exactly one possible destination. As simple as it can be.
