You're right, I mostly mostly pointed out civil rather than criminal law differences since that was what I've gotten studies on and concerned myself with due to having a contracting business. As for the mind-boggling verdicts thos

Not surprising. One serious question is how much precedent research is grounded in possible reality? The "unexpeced-precedent-that-throws-off-the-opposition" and "old-or-savant-legal-expert-who-knows-them-all" tropes in

We have very few shows about lawyers/law here because our system is simple (and boring?) enough that there isn't much to make anything interesting about. IANAL but have taken some intro level course (that usually starts with don&#

The difference is that Redis is single-threaded, the value proposition of Redis was/is a fast (in-memory) simple (single-threaded) server to serve things so much faster than a traditional DB. It was a perfect fit and became popular wit

Not really, to me it more seems like Pentium-4 vs Pentium-M/Core again. The downfall of Pentium 4 was that they had been stuffing things into longer and longer pipes to keep up the frequency race(with horrible branch latencies as a res

Forgot to reply earlier, but there's a difference here. When the data type is allocated beside the next pointer of the linked structure, the linked structure owns the allocation. So if an object is a member of 2 linked lists, if destru

There's a huge difference here, historically that was because many C codebases were vulnerable due to inherent C flaws and ssh daemons due to their age was C based. OpenBSD folks stances on coding and system design avoids pitfalls. Thi

It's not meant as a regular SQL database with full ACID semantics (even if that is a interesting stretch target). Rather the main thing is mainly about coupling storage and sharding decisions with the simulation, since both a sharded s

Agreed, going for a custom engine anyhow in my scenario so that's fine. It seems that they're built to run serially to achieve reproducible simulations so my guess would be no, this is one thing my experiment does differently alth

Intrusive linked lists as this is called removes unnecessary allocations and traversal (main reason why linked lists have such a horrible reputation), say a hypothetical example where you have a temporary listener object installed that list

Reading/hearing talks from people doing server backends there is many half insane things being done to keep servers and persistence in check, and everyone still a different custom solution. A common scenarios: - "Game-server"

Prediction can definitively be argued that it belongs in a layer above it, multi-version/rollback/reconciliation should be integrated however and I don't really see any mention of it from a quick skimming. (really need to tak

Interesting, been tinkering on a similar project of my own. Main similarity is also combining database/server-simulation even if it seems like some parts of the design might differ. Gonna take a deeper look when I get home later.

Our org seems to be taking some benefits from being sped up by using AI tools for code generation (much of it is CRUD or layout stuff), however at times I'm asked for help by colleagues and the first thing I've done is Googled and

Right, the point of raytracing extensions is that there can definitively be wins thanks to specialized circuitry. What I do wonder, like you mention that older chips could probably use the more optimized structures via software (after all,

Not really, the fundamental problem shared for all the tools mentioned by GP is the same of concurrent edits. We as an industry typically ignore it in regular CRUD settings due to low conflicting operation frequency, but it gets problematic

I wrote an non-RTX on-GPU raytracer a while back (naive compared to this) and it's super-interesting to read about the advances in compressing BVH structures. But the changes also highlights a change in focus from just implementing thi

This is probably not as much gains as not having to care about the C++ standard and only focus on C++ as interpreted by Clang.

And that's the part that makes me wonder if BD will ever "make it", starting 20 years ago they probably had to make quite specialized algorithms with a ton of hardcoding to make their robots work (and it was impressive then).

Sorry yes, i was thinking of the context object with source parameter. The issue it solves is a big one though, since without it the JSON.parse functionality cannot parse numbers that are larger than 64bit float numbers (f.ex. bigints).

It's an interesting interview but also horribly frustrating. There's talk about vectors, longer basic blocks and cache utilization and how they wish programmers used more of it, it misses the real world. Regardless of how "ha

Sadly the reviver parameter is a new invention only recently available in FF and Node, not at all in Safari. Naturally not that hard to write a custom JSON parser but the need itself is a bad thing.

Seems like the last h264 patents expires in about 5 months, silly to start moving around to options that might have submarine patents when we'll have something functional that's patent free in quite a short time.
