Tragic truth. :( GA has problems, and they're only getting worse.

Thank god. AMD making the base pointer optional in the x86-64 ABI was foolish.

This is true for server systems too. I've often had problems which were ultimately only solvable by rebooting large fleets of servers. Had the servers been running microkernels instead, updating services without full restarts would hav

While I am firmly in the ZFS camp, my feeling is that there has indeed been a gradual slide in the disciplined development of ZFS. After some initial bumps in brand new software, the Sun kernel group did a good job of avoiding corruption. O

Zones and ZFS streams came close (but the main problem there is that ZFS assumes that ZFS streams are trusted...).

I find the content of the article far too detailed and interesting to warrant a dismissive comment.

Yes, the leaders of those nations depend on US influence (and sometimes hard power) to remain in power. I don’t want to oversimplify things, and yet: how did that come about?

Just Linux, but I have a Windows machine too at the moment, so I'll make sure it runs on that as well. I will let you know. It's extra motivation to me too! Someone else is interested!

I wish I had anything interesting to say. I'm currently experimenting with it to see if it's a useful approach to build a game that can sustain a solid 90fps. Just pushing triangles isn't a problem (so far), but I'm stil

by dmpk2k 3y ago
Rightly or wrongly, 60fps is becoming what 30fps used to be, and gamers can tell the difference (as can normal people with VR). It is what it is. This latency problem is why I’m dabbling with raylib and LFE of all things. The BEAM cannot ho

Does this have much effect on Kandria’s latency results? Shirakumo tries to put a positive spin on things, but her results show that SBCL’s existing GC isn’t up to the task for real-time games (or many networked apps, for that matter). As a

Could you elaborate about the sorting in grade school?

In that case it's taking advantage of carbon fiber's strength under tension. For a sub you have the opposite problem, which carbon fiber is very weak at.

Twitter was trending towards bankruptcy anyway. At best it has sped up towards that destination, at worst changes will eventually avoid it.

Thank you!

by dmpk2k 3y ago
I haven't looked in a while, so I'm wondering what SBCL's GC latency profile is like nowadays. IIRC, it used to be a non-incremental STW conservative GC, which is a bit unfortunate.

The dependence between China and the West works both ways, and yet look what is happening. Regardless of the reasoning why it should not, the direction is clear, and it won't be the first time that economies have been terribly damaged

I was talking about American strategy. Russia was and is a largely-neutralized regional great power, no longer any real threat to Western hegemonic power. China is a different matter. China manufactures more than America, EU and Japan combi

This is all true, and yet ignores the price of production and transportation. Once the various Power Of Siberia pipelines are all complete, China may be getting gas cheaper than any price Europe can get. As for Russia viewing China with sus

Not sure if it's a win. The vast resources in Russia will now be channeled into China (and India). If you're an American strategist, a China with Russia's resources should be giving you serious jitters. And European manufac

It may look crass, but putting money on the line means there is price for hot air, thus hopefully the people involved will do more research and think a bit more deeply. If you're not willing to put serious cash down on a position, you

Indeed. For newcomers: if you get a pen that seals properly (so it won’t dry out), consider getting a fast-drying ink; you won’t end up with streaks across the paper and on your hands. I found Lamy T52 acceptable.

by dmpk2k 3y ago
Three I know about are the TWSBI Eco and Diamond, and Pilot’s disposable Vpen. They’ve already been mentioned elsewhere in this thread. Beyond those, do research. Fountain pens drying out is a major problem that catches newcomers off-guard.

by dmpk2k 3y ago
A big problem with Safaris is they dry out quickly. There are many great pen varieties nowadays, none of which have this common fountain-pen shortcoming. Safaris are suitable for people who write daily; others should look elsewhere.

Yes, that is how it works, except (as you implicitly note) that large heaps in single processes can cause problems; allowing incremental collection per heap would flatten the latency profile further.

by dmpk2k 4y ago
The post glosses over the most important part of Erlang's GC: it collects process heaps separately. This transforms a hard problem (collecting a global heap with low latency despite concurrent mutators) to a _much_ simpler problem, at
