Don't atomic operations trigger cache synchronisation in CPUs? Doesn't that affect performance negatively? That would mean even a non-contended mutex would affect performance negatively. I suspect it depends a lot on the specific
723.
by yakubin 4y ago
Yes. The reason why currently you need to wrap Mutexes in Arcs is not thread-safety per se. Without std::thread::scope the Rust compiler doesn't know if the spawned threads won't outlive the Mutex (which is borrowed by the closu

Your comment was dead for some reason. I vouched for it, because I think it's interesting to discuss. Although obviously no compiler of a Turing-complete language is going to eliminate all logic errors, the user of a language like Rust

Once std::thread::scope [1] is stabilised, in a lot of cases you're not going to need to wrap your Mutexes in Arcs anymore: #![feature(scoped_threads)] use std::thread; use std::sync::Mutex; fn main() { let a = Mutex:

Yeah, this is the reason why I stopped attending pride parades. When you're there, it looks like a big PR platform for a bunch of banks, Google, Apple and whatever. Those same companies don't advocate for the right of this communi

My personal worst experience with captchas is Vultr: every time I go to their page from my Linux desktop, I need to solve a recaptcha. And if I don't do it within ~3 seconds, the page reloads and I need to start over again. I bet there

I've just started reading about APL, so maybe I'm wrong, but I think there is one caveat: you need to know which operators are monadic, and which are dyadic, because if op is monadic, then it may be: A (op (B (op (C (op D)))))

To me it seems he doesn't like spending time with toddlers. It's a big jump from here to conclude that he doesn't want to be a parent. Toddlerhood is just a temporary state.
