Specialized NICs - is this what e.g. Cavium LiquidIO "server adapters" are? I came across those looking through the firmware shipped with Linux.

Again, FuturesUnordered cannot know the difference between a task wanting to yield and a task that wants to be polled immediately. The waker does not get this information, either. It cannot distinguish.

How could it respect them? The Future trait doesn't let it distinguish between "please yield now" and "please poll again".

Are you sure? The adapters are all covered by USB-C and its DP alt mode. Even the storage expansion cards are attached via USB and not PCIe. No Thunderbolt required.

I've deactivated HTTP/3 in Firefox as the bandwidth from CloudFlare to my provider (German Telecom) gets ridiculously bad (downloading a 6 MB file takes 25 s instead of 0.6 s) during peak times, and I only see this when using HTTP

I think the entire desktop is running at the highest refresh rate, which is not only wasteful but can cause glitches when the lower refresh rates don't cleanly divide the highest.

These days, a game has at least double buffering. This means one frame is currently displayed on the monitor (front buffer) and one frame is being drawn by the game (back buffer). In a classic "fullscreen game" situation, whenever

That isn't an inherent limitation of GPUs, though. More likely just a missing feature in whatever GPU rendering path.

Linux also does not allow you to overwrite a running program; you'll get ETXTBSY. The difference to Windows is that Linux allows you to delete (unlink) files that are in use. The inode actually owning the data continues to exist until

Handling login-via-Matrix like email or SMS sounds like the right approach.

The website does get your credentials. To be fair, this is how password login with any of the web clients works as well. Which makes it hazardous to use clients not hosted by the homeserver or a trusted third party. However, if the homeserv

If the application is using C++17, wouldn't the headers of the C++11 lib then be compiled as C++17, potentially breaking things? PS: The other way around is more obviously broken, with the C++17 lib headers getting compiled using C++11

Oh, I see. I only vaguely remembered some changeset regarding it. I must have been mistaken, then, and it's still in use. In any case, sneakily using nightly features can make using a different Rust version problematic, since these fea

No, editions require explicit activation and the "default" edition will remain forever at 2015, i.e. Rust 1.0. This is in contrast to C and C++ compilers like GCC and Clang, where the default "std" setting is often updat

Firefox might be a pretty bad example here. IIRC it was only recently they stopped using the undocumented RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP to enable unstable nightly features in stable Rust.

I think in English that would actually refer to the last Friday. ("last" as in the one most recently in the past, not some final Friday.)

You really want those "efficiency" cores in addition to your regular ones, otherwise dividing your processor costs you a lot of throughput. You also want them to be low-power even when saturated, otherwise you gain responsiveness

You've confused by-label with the kernel's device nodes (e.g. /dev/sda1). Kernel names are assigned in order. Labels are just like UUIDs and part of the filesystem. However, unlike UUIDs they don't necessarily exist

I don't think either test involved the speaker conveying information about the SCP to the subject. The information was pinned to the wall in pictogram form. In test 1, the subject was commanded to translate the pictograms into text. In

It's not dry vehicle weight that counts. GCWR must not be above 3500 kg for the basic car driver's license. PS: Actually, the limits for the basic German driver's license (B) are: Max GVWR of 3500 kg. With trailer, if GTWR no

This doesn't imply the benefits that were weighted against the costs were monetary.

Since they didn't want to document, I think `float Accuracy0to1` is a nice compromise that most people would understand instantly. Add `Incl` or `Excl` if you really need to disambiguate that.
