And lost value semantics and any hope of type safety.

That's the thing though isn't it. C++ didn't add type erasure to the language, it added compile time reflection and said have at it.

IDEs like CLion now have compile time visual debuggers.

I live in a London terrace, originally built circa 1900. There's plenty of evidence the rear gardens were used for growing food and drying laundry back then Children would also play there where they could be seen from the kitchen (whic

What was the one time when you need something wait free? I'm assuming interacting with hardware?

What's important is you know the trade-offs you are making. You can't have a bounded queue that is always non-blocking because slow consumers can block producers. You can't have a global FIFO order + multiple producers withou

The MPSC/MPMC structure in Aeron is wait-free with respect to producers - one producer cannot block another There are simple node based algorithms that achieves a similar guarantee: https://web.archive.org/web/2024

I think of that movie every time I hear the song! That was one badass robot sequence. "Suuuuure. Kidnap the humans, DESTROY THE MACHINE."

Theres no technical reason one should look better than the other. Both should use multipass ahead of time compression with a rate control algorithm, and both should have enough slack streaming bandwidth to handle complex scenes with bufferi

In well thought out C++ software lifetime rarely becomes an issue because deciding on ownership and object lifetime is unavoidable as part of the design process.

If the code is mapped readable and not mutated how does it make a difference? The code will be prefetched in to local (executing) CPU cache just the same. No invalidations will take place across NUMA zones. Modern DLLs on e.g. Linux use PIC

Ironically most of the polish I know who came to Britain returned home to Poland for better prospects. Adjusting for purchasing power parity, GDP per capita in Poland isn't far behind the UK.

Because it's accurate? If I have access to your digital ID I shouldn't be able to impersonate you anymore than I should be able to fly using your passport. Your passport is useful not just because it's difficult to forge, bu

Yeah...I'm fully aware what a ZKP is..you're just missing the point.

Doesn't matter! You still need to send a digital image from the id, signed by an authority, saying "this person is 18" You then still need a trusted ID service or algorithm to capture an image of the user _at the time of use_
54.
by nly 3mo ago
But to be effective you need to prove that the person presenting the ID is the person the ID belongs to. In person that falls to a human being, and it's an easy and intuitive task that takes seconds. On the internet this involves some

It's not great. Rapidhash is just insanely fast and provides good distribution, with built-in support for mixing.

My goto these days (and afaik the state of the art) is boost::unordered_flat_set paired with rapidhash for hashing (since the GNU std::hash functions based on murmurhash are ridiculously slow) The cacheline performance is pretty hard to bea
