Ultimately everything is an abstraction. The point I'm making is that linear regions are a useful abstraction for both disk and memory, but that's not enough to unify them. Particularly in that memory cares about the visibility of

I shudder to think about the impact of concurrent data structures fsync'ing on every write because the programmer can't reason about whether the data is in memory where a handful of atomic fences/barriers are enough to reason

You're replying to something I didn't say. But on the topic of test anxiety: I think intentionally causing emotional distress to children for the purposes of making a bad evaluation of their studies is cruel. It's a kind of c

No, apple does not buy production capacity to prevent others from using it. They buy it to use it themselves. The wafers are not DRAM. This is more likely burning oil wells so your enemy can't use them. Wafers are to chips what steel b

The problem is you need correction EQ built into to the drivers tuned to the enclosure (in addition to loudspeakers that are also designed accounting for their directionality, position, and the volume of the enclosure).
