It's part of a larger push toward revisionist history in general. It's no longer correct to imagine that great people moved history through inspiration and force. Now, everything is cooperative, gradual, social, and voluntary. Tod

And then you get people who promote the Duluth Model, which declares men guilty until proven innocent. No, feminism has turned into an anti-male movement. Prominent exceptions aside, feminism is the excuse the current illiberal generation i

The trouble with signals is that there are so few of them and we can't add more without breaking the ABI.

Sure. The problem is that intermediate-skill developers read comments like yours and just glean "lol, syscalls are slow" from them. They then go on to use mmap and kill MM performance. It's important to keep your audience in

How do you know I haven't? Besides, I said "most of the time". There are obviously important applications for mmap.

Read and write, most of the time. It's funny how code written by masters tends to look a lot like code written by novices, while intermediate-level code is full of baroque architecture and clever tricks that don't work. The differ

by rewqfdsa 11y ago
It depends. Are you using aio? O_DIRECT? write(2) gives you plenty more options and these days, it's no less efficient than mmap. The whole idea of system calls being expensive is obsolete now that we're not using heavyweight soft

Right, so if your holder object is heap-allocated, you need to dereference a pointer so that you can then call into the implementation. That's inefficient, bad for the cache, and puts needless pressure on the heap allocator. C++ clas

by rewqfdsa 11y ago
PIMPL is an inefficient antipattern when the holder object is itself heap-allocated. You're better off coding against interfaces, COM-style.

It's an arms race. Advertisers may be able to detect ad blockers in the short term, but eventually they will lose. That's because users control their machines and advertisers don't. Widespread use of adblock-blockers will onl
