It would be better to just build smaller intersections that do not need millions of dollars worth of signals and cameras and ML inference rigs.

Real context switches on Solaris were very slow which is why they had LWP. But Linux process context switches were also faster than Sun's LWP switches.

If he got no consideration for it, he’s not bound by it. Never sign anything when you’re being fired unless they offer you money and in that case ask for much more than they open with.

looking at your benchmarks, I see that you think glog is synchronous. This would be because you are logging at ERROR severity which does indeed flush. Logging at INFO would not have that issue.

The promise as I recall was that Mexico was paying. In any case the constitution is clear that spending originates from the House not the White House. Several continuing resolutions have passed and the President should sign one.

If any of that is true why did they bother lowering the rates last year?

It’s also amazing how many people on Twitter clearly do not remember the 90s where we raised the top marginal rate and experienced an unprecedented run of economic expansion.

I think foundation excites a lot of people who have never read its code or tried to operate it and therefore have only these statements of hype to go on.

That’s not that gross. There are types in Abseil that do it.

Yes, but, again, this article is about standard headers. Since it is impossible for STL library authors to decide that they are or are not writing for a performance-sensitive audience, it behooves them to provide completely visible header-

Well, to the extent that it is a thing it only wastes the programmer’s time. I happen to think programmers are spending too little time, so that doesn’t bother me. Wasting CPU time on the other hand bothers me a lot!

R&D only comes to about $500 per capita per year. That doesn’t amount to a significant fraction of Americans’ inflated costs.

That only makes sense if you are planning to offer two implementations of your library. Which I of course urge you to not do. This article is about the STL headers. The reason std::sort beats the pants off all other languages’ sort routines

pImpl pattern is great for those who don’t care about performance but it’s inappropriate for most header libraries. You wouldn’t want a library that hides the implementation of std::vector for example. With a visible implementation the comp

Syzkaller finds bugs in linux kernel all day every day. The fact that some ioctls don't work right should surprise nobody.

You also get a lower clock rate from running scalar code on many cores at once. Use of the 512-bit unit only makes the coefficient different. That said, the biggest mystery in this article is why you'd ever want to remove all whitespa

I used the git wrapper for a few days until I hit a day-ending `git gc`. That's when I knew git was terrible.

People who like multirepos are always saying how easy it is to pin dependencies but like you I haven’t seen anyone doing it right since I left Google. The monorepo third-party system works well in practice. Ps thanks for getting scipy into

This argument boils down to people who have used Perforce, who believe in the benefits of a monorepo, and people who have only ever used git, who do not. While it's true that git is a terrible program that does not lead to conclusions
