Composting human fecal matter seems like a very bad idea hygienically, because of parasites (flatworms, roundworms, protozoa, etc.).

Why do you try to imply that a Web browser experience not built around making the user trackable most effectively, like it is by default with the big browsers, has to be inconvenient? The way I use Chromium [0], is very convenient to me. Th

I, too, almost always use Chromium so it is basically stateless (except when I want bookmarks). My way is better than Incognito mode because you can have multiple sessions (example: one for Google's services that require a login, one f

I do not quite understand what do you mean by "switching". In my workflow, when I want "Incognito", I just start a new Chromium session on tmpfs. No switching needed.

I am pretty sure the code is entirely correct when meant for GCC or Clang. Standards-noncompliance (because of inline assembly) is another issue, of course; but one could argue that GCC and Clang are the de facto standard.

by nsajko 7y ago
Are you sure atomics can help in this case? EDIT: also, volatile is a bad idea, too, unless you are doing something low-level like a kernel or hacking on memory mapped IO pins. It does not synchronize accesses between threads.

by nsajko 7y ago
The code is simply incorrect. Use locking (pthread_mutex_lock, pthread_mutex_trylock, pthread_mutex_unlock) if you need to do something like that. C and C++ have the same memory model, but this would be wrong in any language.
