I thought PGO instrumentation works on basic blocks, and the inlining, outlining, and register allocation optimisations are all done on llvm’s IR. So everything can happen in the backend. What sort of work is OS specific, or language specif

I thought grandparent was saying that GR is wrong, and that Vulcan exists, but it’s made of dark matter. But maybe that’s not the right interpretation ;)

You could probably get something used, but it would be a bit of a hassle. Or another way to experience the city like a local. But while you’re shopping, and the trip in from the airport would be pretty miserable.

Tokyo had a few days this last august with lethal wet bulb temperatures. I assume Delhi would be similar. Winter in Montreal just needs the right clothing, but then you’re not packing light. A proper winter coat, gloves, boots, etc. will ne

I understood most of it and looked up the rest. PWS - Prince William Sound, a large bay in Alaska. Bonkers - crazy, so a large amount. Fry - juvenile fish Seine - a type of net that hangs vertically in the water used to corral fish. Only al

Yes! Sushi menus are often entirely in katakana.

My understanding is that katakana is used for situations where it’s the sound that is important, not necessarily the meaning. So it’s used for loan words, but also for onomatopoeia, and when writing your name down on a waitlist at a restaur

That’s a “nu” hiragana, so the button reads Gnu, which I guess is cute but doesn’t help usability.

Inconvenience is no obstacle to over-clocking. > Vaseline is popular as it is a fairly easy application and can usually be removed by running the motherboard through a cycle in the dishwasher. https://www.icc-usa.com/prep

Both peltiers (look for thermoelectric coolers on Amazon/Newegg) and phase change coolers are used by PC enthusiasts, but it’s not that common because regular liquid cooling is good enough for everyday use, and you don’t need to waterp

Even if the bundle is always cached locally, a large bundle can hurt startup performance. A little discipline goes a long way. You probably don’t need to fight against every few kb, but having a bot post the bundle size in every commit can

Rooibos is delicious plain (black? neat?), and also with honey+milk or honey+lemon. You can also pull it like espresso and make great caffeine free lattes.

In American English, people are in the hospital, but in UK English people are in hospital. So it only behaves that way in some Englishes.

What’s not safe about them? I thought that absorption refrigerators were developed to be safer than existing refrigerators, before non-toxic working fluids were discovered. Einstein-Szilárd fridge. Yes, that Einstein and that Szilárd. http

What part didn’t you like about the graphics? I think the external shots looked quite good, especially the lighting through the clouds. I’ve never seen a real plane that immaculate, so that was a bit unrealistic. I also liked the haze/

It depends on the FAANG. In my experience: Amazon hires for a specific team lead. Google hires for a specific manager (one level higher than lead). Facebook hires for a specific office. Boot camp is for team placement. I don’t know about Ap

Trainspotting is like birding for trains. You keep track of which engines and rolling stock you’ve seen, go on trips to see new engines etc. So it’s a different type of train nerd from railroad modelling.

I think it’s the rotational inertia of the earth, not the kinetic energy of the moon. Since the earth is spinning faster than the moon orbits, the tides actually are pulled ahead of the bulge the moon creates, transferring energy from the e
