Haven't seen that before; indeed it is similar. I quite like that. The limitation I see is, how do you store data values with spaces in them? If it allows quoted values, then how do you store values with quotes in them? And how do you

Linux and OS X do the same thing to Windows (xbill, Micro$oft, PC vs Mac commercials, etc.) It is kind of sad, but it's how underdogs always work. Selling yourself as an underdog means not only pointing out what you do well, but how yo

That is correct. Let's look at the simplest form of sound mixing: /* A */ sample = (sample_a >> 1) + (sample_b >> 1); //lowers volume of A and B by 50% /* B */ sample = max(-32768, m

And if Linux weren't available, Lennart would most likely be working on systemd for BSD. Whether or not he would be successful in getting it adopted there is unknowable, but it would be possible. This is why choice is good, and lock-in

Here's my current issue with moving to TLS: library support. I do a lot of custom stuff and want to run my own server. I can set up and run the server in maybe 50-100 lines of code, and it works great. I know, I should conform and use

No, OpenBSD support for nvidia is very, very sad. There is no nvidia binary driver, and no nouveau port. You only have the ancient nv driver, which is just a frame buffer. And an absolutely horrible one at that. It is at least 20x slower th

In general, pretty great on FreeBSD. You have nVidia binary blob 32-bit and 64-bit drivers. The OpenGL performance equals Linux and Windows. The blobs aren't available for the other BSDs. There's some trouble at the moment due to

Many people are leaving Linux because of systemd (among other issues); but are choosing FreeBSD because of ZFS, pf, geli, jails, dtrace, bhyve, etc. (I haven't used the latter two myself yet, but the rest are fantastic.) In the end I&#

I found a cool trick around that recently. Use anonymous namespaces when you want to have "standard-library/boost"-like template header libraries. Anything inside of an anonymous namespace has no external linkage, and it can

What if you query the total and available amount of RAM on the system to set your limits?

by byuu 12y ago
You can certainly set reasonable limits. "After 512MB, start adding chunks of 64MB at a time." Similarly, you also really want a minimum bound so you aren't reallocating 12x to get to 4KB when you add a byte at a time (if y

Heap allocators already are ridiculously smart. But there's just too many divergent use cases for allocators. I wrote a simple string heap allocator (grab a 16MB block and hand out 256-byte chunks) and the resulting code was 85x* faste
