In my experience, flickering often means a GPU-related bug. Sometimes scrolling or alt-tab would help. Sometimes a given top-level window would seem to become "poisoned" so all new tabs would be corrupt too.

I wonder how much of that is all the WWII vets being gone and not being able to hear their thankfulness at not having to invade Japan the hard way (after what happened on Iwo Jima and Okinawa).

I'm not aware of one, but it probably exists in some obscure language. I can describe how it should work though: * ideally, thread-local variables should not be directly exposed at all * variables intended to be dynamically scope

by o11c 2y ago
It's worth noting that `thread_local` does reduce register pressure. Unfortunately, almost no languages actually natively support the scoping that sane use of this requires.

Sure, excessive indentation is a code smell. But that doesn't impede the ability to read and track lines within a highly-indented block, which roughly follows the readability of prose and thus can use its numbers for comparison .

It's worth noting that most of those studies are for body text. To make that more directly applicable we should exclude indentation, but the additional punctuation (especially commas, but unfortunately no parentheses) also affects it.

The problem with notifications is always "deadlocks". Even without deadlocks it's common to accidentally create a loop that quickly starts using 100% CPU until you kill it. This isn't theoretical, e.g. I ran across it af

Grammar and style are ultimately just two ends of a spectrum. The greatest writing sin is ambiguity (including partial ambiguity due to the possibility of mishearing or similarity to common errors); improper placement of weight means having

And yet, such mutation is perfectly safe as long as you only change the value of existing keys. But you can't do that in Rust.

UDLs have one other huge benefit: you're far less likely to accidentally write a use-after-free, since otherwise there's no way to distinguish between being passed a string literal and being passed some other random char array. Be

The weirdest part about rwlock (not rust-specific) is when you end up using it in a case where the writes are the shared case and the reads are the exclusive case.

Hm, this makes me wonder: what exactly makes the European pig more harmful than the Polynesian pig which was there for ~1600 years? Is there a viable way of breeding pigs more like the latter?

It doesn't feel like it since there hasn't been much improvement in the latter range of time. At least Windows 7 could claim that it resolved most of the permissions bugs that came from upgrading security to 1970s standards, so it

Note that case handling is a place where postgres (which folds to lowercase) violates the standard (which folds to uppercase). This is mostly irrelevant since you really shouldn't be mixing quoted with unquoted identifiers, and introsp

I've been bitten by those before because they are not generated from the actual syntax-parsing code, and thus are sometimes out of sync and wrong (or at least misleading).

As a rule you should not assume third-party libraries are at all thread-safe.

Hm, in the end most of the problems do come down to stuff not coming from blessed headers. Regardless of anything else, how about: * deprecate direct access to `environ` and add functions to replace it. Have a macro that indicates this and

The real question is: is there any case where a program calls `setenv` in one thread and actually wants it to take effect in other already-existing threads? That said, GLIBC is pretty good at documenting all the dangerous functions, s
