The author is referring to false sharing ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_sharing ). CPU caches operate at cache line granularity (typically 64 bytes) so writes to one part of the cache line can require synchronizat

Yes, the API contract isn't "don't interrupt me during this critical section" it's "if you have to interrupt me during this critical section, go to this recovery/restart code". There is a time-slice e

Yeah, you can rent an equivalent workstation from AWS for under $10/hour (and that's the on demand price) so I don't think cost is a huge barrier to doing this sort of work. The language and listing the prices of the workstat

It's in some sense a light form of STM. The key insight behind rseq(2) is that if the data is local to a given CPU the only way to get a race is if the kernel deschedules your program from that CPU at an inopportune time. If your opera

Maybe I'm just getting old but the "if you don't spend $20,000 on a workstation you're going to be left behind like a dinosaur" at the top of this article is a huge turn off to reading any further. And I say that as

Yes, I'm asking what carveout for dual-intent visas you're aware of in the Immigration and Nationality Act. The section on adjustment of status, INA 245, doesn't mention dual-intent at all.

Can you point to the actual statute you're talking about? To my knowledge "dual-intent" only means that the requirement in INA 214(b) that they are presumed to be immigrants until they demonstrate otherwise does not apply. I&

AI is perfect for this because you get to sweep bad decisions you made under the rug and look like a forward-thinking visionary. Why would any CEO not blame their layoffs on AI, true or not?
