Tensions in region started few months ago, so assets could be deployed already. Also, my bet Maduro will still endure multiple months from now.

will elements of arraypool still be tracked by GC with overhead?

> Simple arenas are easy enough to write yourself you can write arena yourself, but it is useless if lang doesn't allow you to integrate it, e.g. allocate objects and vars on that arena..
125.
by riku_iki 10mo ago
My understanding is that that arena allows you to allocate memory segments, but you can't do much with it, you can't allocate var or object on it like in C++ for example, so its almost useless.

Rust may feel like this in general, but I seen multiple discussions when people spot cases where rust is much slower than C++, they start looking at them, and the finding is that Rust is not zero-cost abstraction, and induce penalty sometim

I don't understand this, once Arena is gone, all contained objects will be destroyed altogether, that's the idea of Arena, no need to move them to GC control.

Not sure about .NET, but Java doesn't have arenas..

by riku_iki 10mo ago
I am not sure I understand moving GC concern. Arena content would not be controlled by GC, otherwise it defeats the purpose of Arena.

what about failover story if server dies? PG failover setup is complicated, and cloud infra handles this for you.

> (1) I have never used an allocator myself, and (2) never seen anyone else use it. arena allocators are necessity for high performance software, because heap allocations are magnitude slower.

Rust is not zero cost abstractions, they make decision on case-by-case basis.

My recollection is that traditionally they used Ada for avionics, but per some internet claims they had difficulties to hire enough Ada programmers for such large projects, so switched to C++.

what would be so obviously better choice of language in your opinion?

Post starts with wrong statement right away: "The Transformer architecture revolutionized sequence modeling with its introduction of attention" Attention was developed before transformers.

its easily fixable, utility company can charge fee for fixed cost those who connected to the grid, and if all rich decided to disconnect, then they disconnect neighborhood eliminating fixed cost.
