I like the direction you're heading. Roughly: 1) state machine esque predictable function stack 2) global rather than nested state 3) relational model rather than explicit memory objects 4) serialize to disk as builtin I think 1) is a

Since you're giving great answers ;) What's the problem with multiple entry points anyway? If we're not using computed goto, or dynamically verifying it when we do, aren't all of our jump targets known, and so inherently

Maybe something like signed compilations is an answer -- a trusted source signs and verifies pre-compiled code Then browsers can skip verification+jit etc if they trust the signature

Well, more efficient to verify, because it is more restrictive Meaning some control flows are unrepresentable and certainly less compact; since they must be 'interpreted' I think that's probably the best decision for quick we

The κατα in καταστροφή means 'down to' or 'according to' rather than sudden, and implies strongly a bad turn The inverse of κατα is often ανα though αναστροφή means literally "up turn" or invert So maybe ευστρο

Nice maths. Would each router then hold 64TB and doing a lookup per request in that volume of data would be slow Question: how does dns lookup differ from MAC lookup. Why is domain name lookup feasible, but not MAC?

One suggestion for medical devices -- and in general any situation where the consumer cannot asses what they're buying, but is important is mandated ratings, such as for tyres https://www.goodyear.eu/en_gb/consumer

Nice. Random thought: Geometrically 50% of the movement does nothing (going left is a null action). In terms of distance moved by the pointer it would be more efficient to arrange the options as a circle around the pointer, with maybe the b

Great question I wonder what is a zero overhead abstraction. For instance closures are expensive (they malloc), but to what extent can we consider closures to be malloc'd structs; then potentially do away with the concept of structs --

by tsegratis 3y ago
If functions are higher order then the distinction between plain functions and closures is retained (unless you treat all functions as closures). This is because the data needs to be passed around in the function pointer. If not higher orde

But just to be clear @chongli is logical Think of UB as a probabilistic error. I.e. it is always stupid to rely on it 1. Write code without errors -- sensible 2. Allow compilers to assume the absence of errors -- occasionally sensible, sinc

Wow, what fx are you running -- and does that or could that include convoluted reverb? (Convoluted reverb is utterly awesome but more processor intensive than almost anything else) Edit: and sorry, to be helpful, by low latency, could you m

Possible with jackd etc I switched to BSD and got much better latency on the same hardware But I think that was the alsa -> BSD oss driver swap, which is possible on linux too. I had just never tried it, since I assumed linux was best (I

It states cache loads are a prerequisite for cache writes. Not sure about that Would there ever be value in a HW cache only handling writes so it can more efficiently pipe data to another core or gpu? Is the answer yes, but not at the page
