If I recall correctly, ZFS error recovery was still “restore from backup” at the time, and iCloud acceptance was more limited. (ZFS basically gave up if an error was encountered after the checksum showed that the data was read correctly fro

There have been experimental parallel graph reduction machines. Excel has a parallel evaluator these days. Oddly enough, functional programming seems to be a poor fit for this because the fanout tends to be fairly low: individual operations

The post was written two days ago, but the allocator versions are between three and six years old. Nowadays, there are at least two different versions of tcmalloc: the one from https://github.com/google/tcmalloc/

Surely no one currently in power wants Canadians to vote in U.S. Federal elections? So it has to be a setup like Puerto Rico (U.S. citizenship without representation in Washington) or even American Samoa (no U.S. citizenship). The 51st stat

Of course it's a social construct. The U.S. system is unusual (among nations that believe personal freedom, rule of law, etc.) that under it, the individual's right to personal property does not flow from the same source as the ri

Yes, like other property rights. Creators have a natural right to copyright protection of their works.

Most jurisdictions with stable, unfiltered Internet connectivity view copyright not as something that has been granted by the government. It's closer to a human right there. It's simply not possible to operate a publicly accessibl

On the other hand, if you receive an unconstrained array argument (such as S : String, which is an array (Positive range <>) of Character underneath), you are expected to access its elements like this: S (S'First), S (S&#x2

One clear reason to use 128-bit instructions: naturally aligned 128-bit loads and stores are only atomic if encoded as EVEX.128 (or VEX.128 etc.). The default auto-vectorization tuning for current Intel server CPUs using 256-bit registers,

This change puts x86-64-v4 on the roadmap again. It's unclear what happens after that. And before distributions can adopt x86-64-v4, AVX-512 support must be well-established in client CPUs, too.

A lot of programming interfaces do not even keep alive HTTP/1.1 connections across requests because they do not have means to manage the hidden state. Transparent and meaningful upgrades to HTTP/3 on the library side only appear d

What's so innovative about this? The distance? Some sort of mesh routing? Point-to-point optical wireless links have been available commercially for quite a while.

Huh, I didn't know that. But it seems incomplete, at least for Baden-Württemberg. Not sure if that's a bug, an outage, or if they didn't submit all the data. On unternehmensregister.de, you can usually view lots and lots of i

It wouldn't solve other mismatched expectations. For example, the vendor might ship those SSDs only to store firmware-initiated crash dumps. They don't expect them to be used to meet production storage requirements. Maybe to occas

Ahh, the data-in-XML argument is indeed very convincing from a historic perspective.

Enumerations are open-ended in C and C++. They are just integer types with some extra support for defining constants (although later C++ versions give more control over the available operations).

Are you talking about the risk from inclusion to the including page? The concern about cross-origin requests was in the other direction (to the remote resource, not the including page). That concern applies to <script> inclusion as we

What I meant is that from a 1996 perspective, I don't see a good reason not to block cross-domain <script> loads. The risks must have already been obvious at the time (applications serving dynamically generated scripts that can

Productivity is difficult to measure. I suspect many managers just don't know how to do it, or are not very confident about the results. In-person interactions in an office give managers additional information (such as height). For man
