Yes, but those are not hardware memory synchronization mechanisms. You do not have to deal with memory fencing to coordinate reads/writes at the CPU level, because there is only one core that can read memory at a time.

Single core concurrency doesn't have to deal with hardware memory synchronization.

What are you talking about? Languages are pretty explicitly designed to be statically- or dynamically-typed: e.g. take Python which relies a lot on having a dynamic typing discipline. Yes, you have Mypy and pytype, but those are pretty much

No it's not? How do you characterize running two programs on a single core without calling it concurrent but not parallel? There is a clear distinction between logical multitasking and physical multitasking that I think is useful to ta

Uhh, I think it is pretty commonly accepted that a statically-typed language has typechecking facilities before runtime and a dynamically-typed language doesn't. Maybe there is a spectrum and things somewhere in the middle gradual typi

How is this nonsense or anything to do with "language runtimes with disabilities"? An OS running on a single core processor cannot be parallel but it may be concurrent: it can never physically do two things at the same time, but i

Isn't it more rare to not care about data integrity? Being unsure what state your data is at any point in time does not seem like a safe scenario.

It would be cool if the site could show all the places on a map! As someone who has only been to Germany a few times, I have no idea where most of these places are geographically :')

Well, good luck with that. Surely this strategy will work great.

Rust is getting keyword generics to be polymorphic over sync/async which, uh, I'm not sure if I'm a huge fan of: https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2022/07/27/keyword-ge...

I think it's all a matter of how you want to draw the line: do you want to expose the underlying runtime to the consumer, or do you want to make green threads look like real threads? I'm more sympathetic to the latter, because rea

I don’t understand what you’re saying. People who oppose racism and inequality are responsible for child labor increasing? What?

Where did I say anything like that? In any case, if you're shipping these homeless people out somewhere else, aren't you just making this someone else's problem but at least you don't have to look at it anymore?

This talk about not pooping on the street and not shooting up in the street is not really solving the material issues of homeless people. How does pooping in a bush or going to a supervised drug injection site get you out of abject poverty?

People turn to pooping on the streets and shooting up in the middle of the street because they have nowhere else to go. Getting hoisted out of rock-bottom is extremely difficult, and the longer you slip through the cracks of any kind of sup

There is a pretty big range of solutions between shanty towns and concentration camps in the desert. When you become homeless you are effectively excluded from polite society and it is pretty hard to climb out of. You have states and munici

Why did you keep bringing the culture war into your post? You can just say you don't like it when people recline their seats during drink service without grinding your axe like this.

Thanks for the clarification, though I do have to emphasize that a lot of Rust adopters are those who are adopting it as a replacement for a systems language, and saying you're switching from Rust to working on LLMs is a bit of a non-s

This is just total FUD: https://hackaday.com/2019/05/14/what-happened-with-supermicr... If you're going to make these claims, back them up.

Rust and LLMs are very different domains... If you are writing systems software the choice is between Rust and C, not Rust and ChatGPT. This comment gives me the impression of someone using Rust to follow a fad, not because it is something

Given PyPI has been a vector for distributing malware into dependency chains, wouldn't you think that would be a more likely target for the DoJ over one of HN's favorite axes to grind?

Given the discussion around how lacking PyPI supply chain security is, how juicy of a target it is for attackers, and how critical infrastructure is probably relying on PyPI, yt-dlp is the last thing on my mind.
