They ditched the GIL a while a ago. But there are smaller locks fighting for resources. EDIT - I remember when patch notes years ago said the GIL was gone and this says there is a GVL, I guess there is some subtle difference. then I think

I think the async/await patterns solve one problem really well: UI latency. My UI background is web testing and C++ game UIs in C++. There are like 3 patterns in multithreaded games. Thread per responsibility (old/bad), Barriers b

As I was finishing my previous costs it occurred to me that costs are fungible. Money spent on spares is not spent on cares.

I am talking out my ass, but... Seems like a possible plan would be duplicate computer systems that are using last week's backup and not set to auto-update. Doesn't cover you if the databases and servers go down (unless you can ha

You say "discussion thread" I was thinking about "conversation with my neighbor". But yeah, even there they want to ignore their interdependence on society.

Even in C++ the last time I thought I might need inheritance I made a simple class/struct with a few members that were `std::function` instances. Instead of needing inheritance this worked and I managed to keep type safety checks on al

This shouldn't be downvoted. Many right-wingers will say anything is "communism" and act like that ends the discussion, because it certainly ends their involvement with the serious part of the discussion. "Communism&quot

Having Lived in the Midwest and CA, I strongly suspect this is some kind of artifact of CA doing something better. Either schools in CA are harder as in teaching much more, CA is counting more kids, CA is failing kids who didn't academ

So let me see if this is a rephrasing of your point: I don't need this sort of protection so no kid should be protected because I think that protection hasn't been proven effective and the school shouldn't need to be a safe s

This is a strong argument against inheritance, but that isn't everything about OOP. Just one well supported advanced abstraction (That I would also argue should be rarely used.) I would argue that just having strong type system and bun

I hadn't thought about it explicitly like this before, and I think I agree. My more nebulous thought process was something like: 1. Try to solve the problem purely functionally. 2. If that failed because of data issue, model the data w

What kind of flakiness? The only AMD GPU problem I have had involved a lightning strike killing a card while I was gaming. My nvidia problems are generally software and update related. The NVidia stuff usually works on popular distros, but

I am glad to hear that the intersection of Diary Authors and Humane Cow Owners has such a healthy overlap. :p But seriously, how the US treats veterans is nuts.

> but the drivers work very consistently for me The problem with comments like this is that you never know if you will be me or you on your graphics card or laptop. I have tried nvidia a few times and kept getting burnt. AMD just works.

I suppose there is some novelty to this sort of thing. I have already had all that drained away years ago when this single all in one scrolling thing was a big fad. I never really liked this all-in-one scroll capturing pages, they violate s
