On the last day of the year, I am taking a few minutes to linger on this. At face value, most would agree with this, myself included. But I think we can dive one layer deeper. There are different schools of thoughts whether mankind is inher

Technically I think you need O_SYNC. O_DIRECT does pretty much the same but its intention is different.

Of note, this is a logic/timing bug, and Rust would not have prevented this.

This will be my last reply in this thread. We're not going to agree and you keep implying bad faith. I'll reply to one last factual point, and forgo replying to the continued implication of bad faith. > Regarding the first poin

If you'd stop the ad-hominems and suggestions of malice you'd more effectively make your case. I'm not going to play this game of me investing my time in random links posted to this discussion, but as a once time exception: -

Yes, 100%. I grew up in Europe, and have been in the US for the last 10+ years, with all of my family still in Europe. I think this gives me reasonable feel for the "situation on the ground." The best way I can describe my social

I mentioned busy polling as a means to an end, with the end being the ability to wake a thread without requiring a system call (ideally without busy polling!).

The annoying thing about locks (at least the variant that waits) is not just that you have to enter the kernel and wait when the lock is not available (fair enough), but also that the current holder will have to wake you, which requires ano

I can easily see this happening in 2-3 years. Some chat apps already have outstanding voice mode, such as GPT-4o. It's just a matter of integrating that voice mode, and getting the understanding and generated code to be /slightly&

My current thinking on model checking (still evolving): Modeling languages are useful to check the correctness of an algorithm during development. During development, a model can also serve as a specification for the actual implementation.

Yes, even on medium sized code bases (few 100K lines), the Microsoft C++ extension gets extremely slow. Clangd is a much better option.
