Fedora's dnf also uses SAT and it's way faster (with caching) than the handwritten resolver it replaced.

It's more complicated than that, Windows 95 would also check for programs intercepting INT 21h, sandwich its filesystem access routines in between and possibly call the old interrupt handler even when running from 32-bit programs. It&#

It has always been possible to write it in C++ since C++11, since acquire fences are cheap enough, but not in Java until loadFence() was introduced in JDK 8. The paper you cite proposed compiling an atomic add-zero to MFENCE+MOV, which is 5

Indeed the load/load fence must be before the "final long currentVersion" load—which in turn can be a relaxed load—not after the first load. On x86 this produces optimal code because the load/load fence does not need to

[not the parent] For sure it will not update to BUSL-licensed versions of Terraform as mentioned above, but I can't say if it will stay on an older version, use OpenTF, use Ansible or something else.

I wonder how many of these workarounds are needed with QEMU! Some of course will be needed because they are fixes for bugs in FreeBSD.

So the first derivative was already understood to remain nonzero forever[1], now we know that the second derivative probably will also remain nonzero, and the third is slowing down but still positive for the moment? [1] IIRC in the 80s the

I don't know about you, but I have read both of those assertions way too many times, typically from people that have failed a job interview or from "influencers" ranting about how big O questions are gatekeeping Stack Exchang

It is more typical of a self taught developer to complain about fizzbuzz, rather than talk about leetcode. These are both extremes but still, the average self taught developer is not the one who interviews for big tech exactly because he

And how often do you hear people complaining that "interviewers only care about useless stuff like complexity" and "why wouldn't you be able to look up complexities if you really need them" (which only shows that yo

Because you have to relearn all the foundational stuff. Algorithmic complexity, invariants or fundamentals of distributed systems may be useless as a junior developer, but once you proceed to more complex stuff it pays off that you have alr

It doesn't seem that the law makes it illegal to use a browser that bypasses the block, unless the content was already illegal.

It seems to be a version of safe browsing that is mandated by law to be a full block rather than a warning. It will be very easy to bypass, making this a very stupid law. It's slightly more worrisome that the law doesn't include a

Assuming you mean GitLab/GitHub, it's mostly one reason: the number of trees and developers makes a single repository unworkable, and neither GitLab nor GitHub have tools to manage pull requests that have to be shared and reviewed

Do you know IBM has any responsibility in this choice? If you do, the productive thing to do would be to cite your sources. If you don't, it would be to state which assumptions led you to blame IBM's leadership rather than Red Hat

In fact the recent change basically consisted of going from 1 to 0 shipped stable branches (CentOS Stream is the mainline of RHEL). But most of those stable branches have never been public in the first place. In my opinion 99% of end users

No, CentOS/Alma/Rocky only supports one minor release at a time (that's up to four major releases for a 10 year lifetime). You can stick to a major release but you have to update every 6 months or you'll skip the securit

You don't pay for the support requests, you pay for the work of letting you update to the next minor release at your own pace, having those updates be rock solid, and having security fixes even on older releases. In other words you pay

Yes, there's IOMMUs. On the other hand, datacenters have become so large that a 1% performance improvement can amount to millions of dollars in hardware and energy savings, so the extra cost of a microkernel might not be very welcome o
