That _already_ requires sharing ownership of those GPU mappings, and you need to keep track of ownership at that level, or how else will the compositor know that the app is done drawing its window? If you don't wait, you can end up wit

Sometimes C compilers can't even agree on what counts as "correct"! With Rust, you can at least be reasonably sure that if your program compiles with your version of the compiler, it will continue to do so with all later vers

He may be doing that, but he is not alone: the government has spent the past 8 or so decades trying to conflate the two in everyone's mind, and at this point, the only way to keep that up is to make housing into a de-facto collectible

This latter bit is exactly what modern 2D display drivers already do, or at least what the NVIDIA binary X driver does. It keeps a glyph cache in video memory and just blits from it to the extent that it can. It's still counting on the

If the HFTs pick off uninformed orders, wouldn't that mean that the remaining orders are more informed? That does seem like it would make trading on the exchange itself would get more expensive, though, because this is all basically a

I used to live in SF and work 40 miles away (in Santa Clara), and yes, that is more or less exactly how it was. The one advantage was that going out on weekends was somewhat easier, since I didn't have a car at the time, and weekend Ca

So computer science is a pseudo-science too?

In this case, I believe OP is actually a landlord, who invested in this old decrepit building for rental income. But what do you know, he has plenty of incentive to handle this situation as thoroughly as possible, because he lives there too

Because of stupid protectionist laws as I mentioned above, your (I presume) 40 mile trip to the airport is actually an 80 mile trip for the driver. Because the airport belongs to the City and County of San Francisco, only San Francisco taxi

Not all cabs in the US are that terrible, but a lot of them are. To add to the fun, taxicab regulation/licensing is done by the municipalities, which is okay for somewhere like NYC, but in the Valley, Sunnyvale cabs are different from

Cities are only "saturated" if you consider existing zoning. American cities in general are distinguished by having a very large proportion of single family homes, right in the city, generally on relatively large lots. And of cour

Isn't the basic problem that existing residents already get rich (or at least, don't get any worse off) as the city gets richer, because they have the power to extract rents from new residents? Current owners have every incentive

Rent control did cause SF's housing shortage, but not necessarily in the way you (or economists) would think. New construction isn't rent-controlled, so it's not a huge disincentive to build: instead, SF's lengthy and ri

It's already regulated, mostly at the city/town level, and every city zoning board gets lots of comments that "we do NOT need more trailer parks/apartment buildings/'those people' in our town". Supply

Registers are stored in memory, but ideally "memory" means L1 cache, and it seems to me like register VMs would have better cache locality. This might be why they're getting more popular relative to stack VMs as the speed adv
