I get why sync of mutiple machines matters for ordering and causality, but why is it a problem for uniqueness?

If you're referring to the SIMD aspect (I assume the other points don't apply here): It depends on your perspective. You could say yes, because the C# benchmark code is utilizing vector extensions on the CPU while Go's isn&#x

It's not really surprising given the implementations. The C# stdlib just exposes more low-level levers here (quick look, correct me if I'm wrong): For one, the C# code is explicitly using SIMD (System.Numerics.Vector) to process b

Yes. What I was trying to imply is that now there is a lightweight processing unit that still is able to suspend on IO (independently and without involvement from the OS scheduler), but can do that without relying on async/reactive pa

> So, in theory, one can create 100K threads on one machine, but in practice that's going to keep burning processor for GC cycles. The focus on "100k threads" and GC overhead is a red herring. The real win isn't spawn

Don't they charge for every TB exceeding the included limit? (website says "For each additional TB, we charge € 1.19 in the EU and US, and € 8.81 in Singapore.")

In this case, API does not refer to client/server. The API of the aforementioned static class is the set of its methods and their signatures.

I don't get it :(. Why could the same task be executed more than once? From my understanding, if the UPDATE is atomic, only one worker will be able to set `used = 1`. If the update statement is not successful (affected != 1), then the

The first time I came across varlink was the Podman 1.x remote API for client/server communication between clients and a host with the actual Podman installation. However, in Podman 2.x, it was replaced by a RESTful API. Afair, the rea
