It's a lot easier to roll out charging stations than gas stations, and it's already fairly well established in the urban areas where people don't live in homes. I think it's entirely realistic to have more charging ports

Maybe that deserves some reflection rather than dismissing it as "cancel culture."

It shows how slow your CPU's single threaded performance is and the trade off between latency and throughout in modern computing more than anything. My experience from actually writing low latency schedulers in user space as well as th

I don't have access to Ableton's source code so I can't benchmark it to tell you if it's doing better or worse than the OS scheduler, but I would be shocked if it was worse. The penalty for even thread synchronization is

The problem is reducible to maximum directed cuts in arbitrary DAGs, which is hardly "low hanging fruit." The OS scheduler is a particularly poor choice of solution and introduces a ton of overhead while solving it suboptimally. G

My guess is the pros are going to be the tock to the consumer tick in the Apple silicon upgrade cycle. It takes months before pros are comfortable upgrading MacOS to begin with, and it will probably be a year or two before they're comf

Totally agree and if you listen to community leaders in Chicago, they pretty consistently advocate for economic change and housing/education desegregation above police reform and gun control. But I'd contest that the bridges that

Chicago isn't particularly more violent than other places, that's a meme propagated by the President because he hasn't paid attention to real news in decades. The police department however has had numerous scandals.

Sure they would. Apple wasn't a particularly special company when they were funded, new computer companies were a dime a dozen.

It's a language agnostic binary interface. It's kind of hard to explain without getting into the technical details of how it works. For many years it was the only stable ABI on windows.

One could argue the strategic mistakes of the Clinton campaign (ignoring the rust belt) and near fatal mistakes of the Biden campaign (which looks to be on issues swinging voters in battleground states) were driven by bad polling. When I he

Make it a part of their bonus structure. Why should I spend time to save the business money if I get paid the same? My incentive is to hit my KPIs to get my bonus and keep my team happy - pinching pennies rarely aligns with either.

I have a lot of ideas (or rather, one idea) about how to fix my CI problems and "fancy build system" is pretty apt. Bazel is the closest thing I've seen to what I want.

Once you start caring about cross-platform, incremental, distributed builds with a bunch of people committing to a monorepo those advanced features start becoming attractive. Shell scripts handle the 'run this build/test task&#x27

I get the value prop and totally believe in your approach, I'm just confused why you would opt to write an entire editor when the LSP can do whatever you want and integrates into numerous editors.

by qppo 6y ago
Why do you need to build an editor too? Side note, I've written a GC in rust (stop the world, compacting). It's not a cutting edge, concurrent generational GC but it's not that big of an undertaking. And it performs very we

If you're writing async code you don't need to worry about pinning unless you're manually writing futures or designing an executor. But if you are curious, this chapter explains it pretty good: https://rust-lang.gi

That's the Linux way to do it union { int i; float f } u { .f = 1.23f }; int i = u.i; Another way is a memcpy, which I believe is the most defined way to do type punning int i; float f; memcpy(&i, &amp
