> should return the same data that software thought it was writing Hint: In an OS using a page cache (= every OS ) I/O errors are not reliably propagated to applications unless they explicitly sync their dirty pages.

No chipset has supported ECC for quite a while: Flipping some configuration bits depending on the chipset used is purely an Intel money extraction-engine (Intel ME technology®©™). Server / workstation class boards normally all do suppo

Bad fashion advice?

True, thought the wrong way about it.

readlink(2) takes a buffer and the buffer's size, so it's safe. You just enter a race-controlled loop, as always.
786.
by dom0 10y ago
It's still a race though - you have to loop (possibly indefinitely).

IIRC it's still like 30-40 % higher when considering distance.

> American roadways are safer than ever Well, even then, the US still has somewhere around 3-4 times more deaths on the roads per capita than other western countries.

That's an issue that lies in the unfortunate intersection of 16/32 bit Windows, Windows NT and MS libc (MSVCRT), which support some combination of two and a half system designs.

The long request goes to " http://c2.com/wiki/remodel/pages/FeynmanAlgorithm" which seems to be just the articles' text. But there's also a names.txt which is ~640K (260K gzip'd). Hm.

The RE engine here is only used as a fast VM; so the pathological cases from the article should still apply. So apart from the memory use issues there's also that.

Usual use would be "translate pattern once, compile it and then match 1000 file names against it".

Yep, Python's "re" is the usual PCRE+X story.

One thing where Rust is rather lacking is the missionarism of some people in the community.

I meant the hardware with audio codec, though technically it would be the audio controller which has the buffers and control registers (which may/may not be the same chip, depending on the exact make, e.g. in HD Audio the controller is

Instrument cables actually sound a bit different; their capacitance influences the frequency response. The price doesn't really influence that much, though. Very cheap cables can be noisy (which means that they are microphonic, i.e. ge

Because this is about audio output?

Audio codecs use memory-mapped ring buffers; as long as the driver's write pointer stays ahead of the codecs' read pointer there is no way to add jitter. Note that the codec doesn't care about the write pointer, if the driver

Don't. Yes, there are instructions for this. No, don't use them, unless you really exactly know what you are doing and optimizing towards a specific, single µarch only , otherwise they will invariably hurt performance, not improv
