The PAUSE instruction isn't actually as good as it used to be. In, iirc, Skylake Intel massively increased the latency to improve utilisation under hyperthreading. The latency of this instruction is now really high. Most people using s

If anything this seems to be a huge victory for Zig, since Bun is mostly written in Zig.

See my sibling comment regarding vector. It's not true that the only sensible choice for a moved-from object be equivalent to the defaulted constructed one. If your move constructor doesn't exist then the copy constructor gets cal

A static analyzer could easily tell you to use the monadic member functions instead of a raw dereference.

Read what I wrote again. I said all member functions. Reusing of a moved from object only requires assignment and destruction to be well behaved. The std library containers give you extra guarantees (a moved from object is effectively the

No type is safe to use after a move, unless it's documented to put itself in to a well defined state and says as such You can't magically make all the member functions on std::vector safe after a move for example unless the moved

Is that a typo? TCP was 2.5x faster? I presume this is down to much larger buffers in the TCP stack.

Given how slow protobufs and grpc is, I wonder if the socket transport would ever be the bottleneck to throughput here. Changing transports means if you want to move your grpc server process to a different box you now have new runtime conf

Works with implementations and not APIs though. A bad API can constrain your implementation and often can't be changed once it's in use by loads of users. APIs should be right from day one if possible.

The reason you wouldn't do that is IP doesn't give you a mechanism to share an IP address with multiple processes on a host, it just gets your packets to a particular host. As soon as you start thinking about having multiple servi

It's hard to see how they become profitable enough to justify current valuations. The numbers are just mind boggling even in the optimistic scenario.

It's absolutely not best effort that counts. I've heard many stories of people overstaying their visa in the US by e.g. one day, by way of a mishap or honest mistake, and subsequentially being denied visas or turned away at border

x86 has a Total Store Order (TSO) memory model, which effectively means (in a mental model where only 1 shared memory operation happens at once and completes before the next) stores are queued but loads can be executed immediately even if s

Windows maintains both a synchronous and asynchronous key state. The async one gives the result of the state of keys in a polled fashion, and the other the state as applied by messages as you pump the the Win32 message queue (it's in s

You just read() until it returns EWOULDBLOCK/EAGAIN before calling epoll_wait again. It's no less valid than level-triggering as a default mental model.

Good luck to them. VPN companies like Mullvad currently accept anonymous accounts with payment via crypto. You can also just lie about your country of origin when signing up to a VPN account even with a 'compliant' provider that b
