It's also likely to be implemented as a ton of JS to download, which would either block rendering (see option 1 above), or apply after the content loaded (see option 2). So, a bunch of work to fix something that isn't broken when

Are you seriously suggesting that there's no improvement to be had in the typical ui without rewriting in assembly?

This sounds a lot like what OpenBSD malloc has been doing, but via a different mechanism. OpenBSD malloc also tries to avoid handing out the same memory after a free. https://ftp.openbsd.org/papers/eurobsdcon2009/o

As a user, what is the increased administration burden for http? Are you referring to the whole CA system being an untrustworthy racket?

I'm the user and the network operator. Can you give me a comprehensive list of places I need to configure, and notify me when another place software can go around my configuration is added?

This is a fundamental problem with standing waves in microwave ovens, and isn't really affected by pwm. You need to change the mean free path.

It's not a security measure, it's a noise reduction measure. It reduces the number of people jiggling the handle on your door, but if all it takes to get in is jiggling the handle, you have bigger problems.

It makes my life easier in most ways. This is one of the costs. And, again, this still bites whenever using different linux distros.

This attitude is definitely something that makes my life harder. My OS is usually OpenBSD, and I constantly need to fix other people's scripts. It's not difficult to do, but it is annoying. I don't blame people for ignorance,

Thank you for repeating me again. Though it's not even what I want then. I think the only time I've wanted volatile as is currently specified was around setjmp/longjmp -- and I think I'd prefer that setjmp/longjmp w

And, yet, people still try to use it for that. So it's worth pointing out that it doesn't work. I think volatile in general is pretty useless, and it'd be better to replace it with atomic style functions: x = volatile_r

Congratulations, you saw my point. People try to use it for thread coordination. It's always been wrong.

by ori_b 6y ago
Volatile, at least in C and C++, is already broken when used for thread coordination. Lock-free algorithms need to use atomic instructions, which with work.

I appreciate a platform that doesn't add these kinds of misbehaviors in the first place. It means I have less to watch out for or worry about in the future.

Yes, that's one big reason I avoid installing apps. But the requests are also a pain. Can I permanently opt out of all requests across all sites, and never see a page ask again?
