Compared to both Intel on the CPU side and Nvidia on the graphics side, AMD has always been lacking in the software department. Hopefully they can fix that now that they're making some money.

You can pass around a type descriptor (itself a proto message) along with the opaque message.

Compile time generic programming is not a replacement for runtime reflection. A great example of this is if you want to use dynamically generated protocol buffers. A great usecase for this is if you want to store each row in a database as a

Personally, and I have heard many other people say this as well, I don't think Raft is any simpler than Paxos. The problem with Paxos is that there is no one way to do things. There are a thousand different variants and techniques that

Tangential question: is rust usable for core parts of distributions like Debian that can run on a million architectures and even on different kernels? I hope to see more C code replaced by rust, but that seems difficult if portability to ex

Except that it isn't necessary nor is it completely honest. Go and Java take different approaches here, but the article focuses on the merits of the Java approach and the downsides of the approach taken by Go. Example 1. The article ta

Few figures benefit from being interactive. I'm confused as to why why you'd want user contributed results. Getting a benchmark setup to be fair takes effort and you cannot simply take numbers measured using different CPU/mem

Monitoring is key here. The point is that sacrificing performance should be a conscious decision not an accidental one. Small fixes can sometimes prevent big regressions from ever occurring.

Looks like a variant of dialog[1] and its many X11/gtk/qt/etc forms. What was nice about dialog was that it was called to collect input by the application, so the application could ask (from a ui) some input, then later on as

The case has evolved quite a bit, so here's a quick summary: - Oracle claimed that Google copied parts of Java for Android - Claims about copying code were weak (very little was copied) so that was dropped and this became a question ab

I would expect it to be similar to native widgets. After all, native widgets still need to be rendered somehow.

I do not think so. When I last tried it they only allowed for "bounded staleness" consistency across regions despite supporting strong consistency within a region.

If a manufacturer with 10 percent market share sends out an update that causes their vehicles to suddenly turn right, that would ruin conditions for everyone.

Sure it can. Let's back up a bit to something physical as an example. If every car on the road were self driving, that would form a decentralized and distributed system. Each car independently monitors and reacts to its surroundings. T

My understanding is that TLA+ is primarily used for model checking not correctness proofs. I've dug around for TLA+ proofs and found only simple examples. That being said, model checking alone is really powerful and can uncover serious
