Banning junk fees / truth in advertising is good. But I absolutely hate that pet rent was bundled in to this. Pets occasionally cause very high amounts of real damage that should be covered by pet owners, not tenants without pets. An

How successful do you think landlords are at recovering damage costs from former tenants that aren't covered by the deposit?
3.
by loeg 5d ago
It does not. Total deposit is capped at a single month's rent.

Kids do less damage and there's a stronger argument for subsidizing them than dogs. Pet rent isn't about directly covering damage; it's more like buying an insurance policy that occasionally covers large pet-necessitated repa

It's wild that you think good people can't support enforcing laws.

It is also reasonable for employees to hold the position that Flock is a public good and the vocal minority of people complaining about it are simply wrong.
7.
by loeg 6d ago
Yeah. Some of it may just be "thinking" less rather than faster token generation.

Yeah but Starcraft needs, like, 10-20x the APM these agents are doing.

There's a bot data stream already; it's probably hooked up to that rather than screencap. Yes, I believe these were playing in real time.

I guess I'm not really interested in Kim Jong Un's opinion.

What is md-raid10 doing that is so much worse than lvm-raid10? In terms of "I/O" and "responsiveness." It's not really obvious to me from either the linked page or https://github.com/fenio/

That nuclear devices offer some benefit to the hereditary dictators of oppressed, impoverished North Korea does not actually make them "pro-social."

Fair enough.

Ah, cool.

This is some rhetorical thing people say, but you don't actually believe it, right? You're not that wildly delusional? You think that if the air is 4C warmer, we won't have laws, people, culture, or whatever else makes a ci

This blog post and also comment section are a tire fire of misunderstanding. Passkeys solve a couple crucial problems 99.99% of users face, including smart, technical ones who use password managers. They have great ergonomics. They do

Don't you just take the current cpuid when you go to access the cache again? Then you mutex and access the per-cpu state. There is a tiny race window but 99.99% of the time you will be hitting the same cpu's cache as you just ide

It's simple, really. Fracking has offsetting pro-social benefits in a way that NK possessing nuclear weapons does not.

Yeah. I would call ll/sc atomic. Wikipedia's current verbiage: > Load-link returns the current value of a memory location, while a subsequent store-conditional to the same memory location will store a new value only if no upd

Kernel can prevent preemption (mostly). Userspace can not (mostly).

ARMv8-A has atomic CAS, unless this is some silly definition thing where it's "a system that has the behavior of atomic CAS but is named something else."
25.
by loeg 11d ago
Taking the mutex uses (uncontended) atomic ops.

In general your unpinned userspace threads will hit the same CPU 99.99% of the time, but not 100%.
27.
by loeg 11d ago
Spinlocks are unsuitable for situations where you can be involuntarily context switched (the vast majority of userspace programs). Probably worth mentioning that.

Real architectures you'd run more than a single thread on? Such as?

Just running in general. Not only ultras.

Who cares. Everything has a lifespan.
