Agreed. I like the smell of fluorides in the morning.

Just force. Install linux and find an excuse like you'll do windows next week because reasons. Works wonders.

Yes, Fourier Transform never lies when you get it right. :-/s

Stupidity is known to be infinite. And it is a resource.

Right, the problem is that one can't formally describe the environment, and any one thing has to interact with it. So formallness goes right out the window.

It's because epoll === kqueue mostly. Besides kqueue grew from FreeBSD, not OSX. Such ignorance saddens me much more.

You know, in 90s in Russia in IT circles Windows was known as "маздай" which is a transliteration of "must die". Looks like nothing has changed.

PHP was created in the first place because writing slop in Perl was too hard.

by lstodd 1y ago
Bah. It's #1 one because it's easier than the alternative. But the alternative is also not hard. It's just not worth the effort.

Well while seats do have a passenger name to them, people end up in interesting places on underbooked long flights like over the Atlantic. Cabin crew sometimes gets excited if people move too much. But this is rare.

It's still a context switch per event. Like other people here wrote nowadays one can push some processing into kernel context, but that sort of defeats the purpose of kernel/userland border. One can just write a kmod and be done w

The kernel can't "run a function". It can only wake a thread sleeping on a syscall. This is called blocking IO. The whole point of async is to find a compromise between context switch cost and event buffering and the latency

well, glad you liked it fwiw one can make a microscope out of a webcam and a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlarger with some duct tape and thermal glue. It won't do 3500x, but will be comparable to those small U

You're posting here, this is the prize. Consider how many people cannot even know what ycombinator is. Harsh as this sounds, this is the truth.

FWIW (and I do have relevant personal experience) "fixing" is not in the option set. One can only cope. SSRIs, VPA, amphetamines or whatever (including alcohol, THC, DMT and opiates), they just shift the person's perception&#

A strange way to reimplement a pressure cooker. Can work of course.

by lstodd 1y ago
There is too much variation in ingredients for any sort of formal rules. If you strive for excellence, pasta cooking time is the least of your concerns, selection and knowledge of ingredients is. It gets internalized and feels just like int

It's plan9. It is supposed to be at once weird and somewhat fitting.

This looks counterproductive. I can get that when one first learns to ride and therefore has no idea of what to expect from the road and from the bike this sort of precaution might have some sense. For about first couple hundred of kilomete

Nope. Maybe the idea was that an unstabilized slug will tumble and lose velocity quickly, after which it's just some junk falling from above, mostly harmless.

This looks like a repurposed AESA radar. What took them so long then?

nope. airport gets overwhelmed, aircraft get stuck because of processing, airline costs rise, ticket prices rise. it's a single pipeline. every single one bottleneck has to be removed. let's start with TSA.

OTOH it would overwhelm baggage reclaim and everyone will get stuck there instead.
