I dislike microscopic functions a lot too and yet I've never needed 10 uninitialized variables at the beginning of a function. I've written readable 100 lines long functions. I just assumed that the OP was dealing with like 5000 l

No it isn't. In C you often have to keep pointers around for longer than you need to so that you can free() them at the end of a block. But still, the original post said that they have to deal with this: > because I always see about

Probably one of the best thing about the new "pythonized" Scala 3 syntax is that it doesn't require parentheses around if conditions.

It is interesting! I experimented with creating a bad borrow checker for Java using annotations from https://checkerframework.org/ It supports some level of substructural types using must-call annotations, https:/&#x2

I'm not a C++ expert but I believe it is not possible in current C++ to implement a pointer type that will cause a compiler error when it is sent to another thread.

In practice, for quantum mechanical systems, you get astronomical durations once the systems get even slightly complicated. It's possible to estimate and bound the recurrence time using the distribution of energy levels. Even the simpl

Object.wait() releases the monitor lock though. This specific case doesn't have to do with synchronized at all, but with wait() being a native call.

Is that true? Virtual threads aren't necessarily faster, you still have just as many sockets and network connections as before. You can easily spawn 5000 platform threads, and if that's not enough, there are quite a few user-space
195.
by xmcqdpt2 3y ago
In this case the synchronized blocks are released by calls to Object.wait, so that code would not deadlock with normal threads. The issue is that Object.wait doesn't suspend virtual threads, so you get deadlocks. The answer is to reimp

The change in semantics is that while in principle your OS thread will always have a turn at making progress (assuming no super heavy spin locks etc), that isn't true for virtual threads. The classic situation and the one they hit in t

Why two sentences? Maybe you should ask ChatGPT if you want explanations with specific length requirements. Anyway it's pretty simple really. A generic thread is bunch of stack frames (with their associated local variables). A standard

ChatGPT can (probably? I haven't checked) use git and package management. Maybe you should replace your colleagues with it.

You should learn ansible though, it's pretty transferable and works very well for non-cloud stuff too (in fact that's what it was created for!) It's pretty easy to use if you know shell. It might actually make your job easier

At work, there is a push to move on prem applications to cloud but as much as possible without changing any of the code. We end up basically renting expensive instances for significant period of time and recreating all the on prem services

Ligatures are old fashioned in English but still very common in French. Some ligatures are actually mandatory (like the oe in cœur, heart) while others like st are pretty common in proper typefaces such as those used for novels. The author

As they say, closures are the poor man's objects and vis versa. That said, most usage of closures in practice tend to have very little state manipulation -- a closure with 5 mutable fields is weird, an object with 5 mutable fields is &

I think filtering out crypto makes sense even discounting any ethical issues. I wouldn't work for a defence contractor but many defence jobs are real, good jobs with benefits etc. That isn't true of the majority of crypto job post
