This is completely irrelevant to the conversation about technical solutions. My example is just about probabilities and how to use them for bot detection.

I somewhat agree, but those can be good signals though, you just have to gather statistical data on them from known good users and combine with other signals. Like what are the chances for an agent to be used by a real person if it doesn&#x

Elixir uses slow interpreted vm, you can't put it into the same high performance category and golang, java, c++ and rust can't do well on massively multicore systems on their own, you would have to fight them to do it, ditch idiom

Yes, it doesn't apply to Linux. Also on Linux libinput and synaptics drivers support wacom tablets, so you don't necessarily need to even install linuxwacom (in my config I do "xinput set-prop ..." for both cases to setu

The only way I can think of this could be true is if you made a mistake in setting an env var.

Well, no, you are just hacking it to support your claims. A split-stack work-stealing implementation is ok, nothing special, basically goroutines. But you are not addressing the most important difference between events and shared memory mul

I don't think there is back and forth anymore. Actual high performance research (e.g. when the cost of a single mutex is more than the whole CPU budget for processing something, like say a packet) has been devoid of threads since they

Yeah, it was hard to realize in 1995, but nowadays pretty much everyone who tried experienced performance problems with threads, or rather with shared memory multithreading concurrency model. It doesn't actually scale if you idiomatica
170.
by zzzcpan 7y ago
Nope, event loops and asynchronous programming in general don't have a concept of taking a lock, because the code in any event handler already has exclusive access to everything. I.e. everything is effectively sequentially consistent.

Full experience presumes you buy into the platform and get used to it, drop all the alien stuff and alien ideas from other platforms, especially all the exclusive lock-iny ones that you listed.

by zzzcpan 7y ago
Basically the reason is you can't just kill a thread that shares memory with other threads. Go doesn't even have an ability to kill goroutines, so your only choices is manual context tracking and manual cancellation in every piece

But it's not monoculture that's the problem here, it's architecture. Different OS with similar architecture, like FreeBSD, can't solve those problems. The same way reimplementing Chromium in Firefox can't fix anythi
