> For everything else, you want a ring buffer with spinwait & (micro)batch processing.

Note: orders are only globally defined with single-consumer / single-producer. Which... probably should just be a function-call in most situations. (Notable exception: the consumer wants to stay "hot" in consumer code, and the producer wants to stay "hot" in producer code. 2-threads, one for the producer, one for the consumer).

If you even go to single-consumer / multi-producer, then order is no longer defined. Ex: Producer A creates A1, A2, A3, A4. Producer B creates B1, B2, B3.

Single-consumer/multi-producer can consume in many orders: A1, B1, A2, B2, A3, A4 for example. Or maybe even A1, A2, A3, A4, B1, B2, B3 is also valid. Or maybe B1, B2, B3, A1, A2, A3, A4.

Multi-consumer/multi-producer is even "better". Multi-consumer means that you can "execute" in A4, A3, A2, A1, B3, B2, B1. (Lets say you have 4x consumers, all working on A1, A2, A3, and A4. Well, Consumer1 takes A1, but Consumer1 is slower because L1 cache wasn't warm, and Consumer4 had L1 cache warmed up just right. That means Consumer4 executing A4 will finish first).

As such: sequentially-consistent spinwait is good, but suboptimal. The answer is to allow __race-conditions__ to pick the order, because no one cares anymore about ordering if they're asking for multi-consumer/multi-producers.

> 100k events per second is paltry compared to what is possible if you take advantage of pipelining and cache in modern CPUs.

I agree. But 100k events per second is more than enough for a great number of tasks. There's a degree of simplicity to fork/join or pthread_create / pthread_joins. Especially if you avoid async-style code.

Keeping all your logic together (instead of spread out across a variety of async functions) can be beneficial. Sure its suboptimal, but you don't want to make things harder on yourself unless you actually need that performance.

But they already have the vaccine! There's no immediate risk, and the long term risk is not that serious. I guess the core thing I don't understand is why anyone would assume that releasing their process is equivalent to going bankrupt. Is this process all they have? Would releasing it eliminate all barriers of entry? Would the US government no longer be willing to give them grants if they become too philanthropic and save too many lives? Why couldn't they continue to be a wildly successful company?
Maybe the concern was that governments were going to invest billions into creating competitors that don’t exist today.

There are plenty of valid claims that many other civilizations contacted America:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-Columbian_trans-oceanic_co...

But it is meaningless since they did not write about it nor they stablished commerce. The fact is that before 1492, most civilizations in Africa/Asia/Europe did not know that America existed and that other humans lived there. After 1492, that changed forever.
Additionally - if natives had adopted and continued the domestication of animals that norse greenlanders brought over (probably pigs at least) then there might have been a counter-plague when europeans again visited in 500 years.

Very handy. My previous simple test-case was simply a selection from this well-known text-file which is simply a collection of somewhat uncommon unicode characters, usually used for rendering tests.

It's a videogame. It should be structured for enjoyment. If you're not enjoying it, why are you spending your time playing?

There's a whole problem around "people want to beat other actual humans", but in 1:1 competitive games, the average winrate is tautologically always 50%. In Battle Royale, the average winrate is more like 5% - But it's unevenly distributed, so some players are getting 20-30% winrates while others are getting 1%. The game is fun enough to play that people are willing to take 1% winrates, but at some level you want to win - That's where the real fun is. If you never win, the game is not fun. If you win occasionally, against skilled opponents, it feels like a great victory. If you win often, it's relaxing.

(There exist some exceptions to "average winrate" - Asymetric games can have a per-player average winrate above 1, though can just as easily drop below - Dead By Daylight, for example, lists 1.5B "escapes" to 1.8B "sacrifices"[1] - Did the survivor "win" when they escaped? or did the killer "win" when they killed a player? It might make more sense to view it as a set of 1:1s, since each survivor might escape individually, at which case we're back to square 1)

Ultimately, games live or die on being fun.

No one is arguing that healthcare doesn’t have costs. But healthcare in the U.S. costs a lot more than in other places, and the reason it costs so much is that we allow doctors, hospitals, and pharma companies to exploit the vulnerable for profit. The machines and drugs are the same across the world, but we pay a ridiculous markup so doctors and execs can earn 500k+ a year. 25% of U.S. GDP is spent on healthcare. Think about how insane that is: one out of every four dollars of economic activity is spent on healthcare.
I think it's reasonable to find that morally objectionable: English is the only language* that can be fully represented in ASCII, so pretending that ASCII is all you need excludes a large part of the world.

* yes, by and large. Many languages make do, but even the European languages that use the same script as English cannot be fully represented:

- Pretty much all mainland European languages use accents (simple example, in Spanish el and él are different words)

- French misses ç

- German/Swiss/Austrian misses ß

- Spanish misses ñ

- Dutch misses ĳ

Character encoding is in a special class of problems. Like time handling.

If you pick up a halfway non-ancient framework in a somewhat common language with a somewhat non-terrible persistence like postgres, you just don't have problems. Just don't care, and it just works.

But it's super easy to derail that fragile correctness with something like MySQLs utf8-ish handling, or some OS's path handling, or 'efficiency', or a user or frontend dev submitting data in a wrong encoding. And then it gets mangled. And then the user is unhappy.

At that point, it becomes very hard to argue why one of the two things is wrong, and the other is not. While the user argues the other way around. Because both look correct, if you look from the right angle. And the only reason why I am right is because of some standard, while the customer is right because of money.

And yes, it is very 'surprising' why our software now functions correctly for russian or greek customers.

Some 15% of American adults are smartphone only. That percentage rises very quickly once you look outside of the G20. Those are also some of the people most likely to have their lives drastically improved by having access to the ability to code.

The fact that you don't have a usecase for a tool absolutely does not mean that such a usecase does not exist, nor does it make that usecase less valuable.
They're going to continue to explore, experiment, and create up until their curiosity is satisfied and they've run out of gas for dealing with regulatory bodies and running a business.

> If you want your photos to upload in the background, iCloud Photos is your only choice on iOS.

Nope. Background App Refresh has allowed any iOS app to update data between the server and client in the background for more than half a decade.

Apple has discussed scanning photos uploaded to the iCloud Photos portion of their cloud service in the future, but nothing is scanned now.

Google has been scanning everything in in their user's cloud accounts for the past decade.

Also, given Google's reluctance to pay human beings to supervise decisions made by their algorithms, I have zero doubt that Google is turning in users when they have a single false positive.
Yes, just hitting dot in Github opens up Github.dev which is very similar to this VSCode.dev. So similar that this VSCode.dev lets you get the same experience if you rewrite a Github.com repo URLs and prefix it with VSCode.dev. Today VSCode.dev also supports the same thing with Azure Repos if you prefix dev.azure.com repo URLs.

The "remote repository" experience on VSCode.dev is a little more involved than just "fully integrated git" (it relies on the GitHub/Azure Repos APIs and existing VS Code extensions with Remoting support for some of it beyond just what raw git can provied), but they say in this article that it is extendable and they can and hope to add other providers in the future.
I didn't mean open source, no, and it looks like the free version of yosys has limited support of systemverilog.

That's quite the claim to toss out. I can certainly imagine gunless conquistadors taking over New Spain in a slightly longer span just by waiting for people to die.
I think we're dealing the limitations of communication via unicode text. When I say that ¼ and 1/4 are "the same symbol" what I mean is that they are the same symbol with respect to their visual appearance, not with respect to their numerical representations are unicode code points (or, in the case of 1/4, three unicode code points).

And I shouldn't have used the word "concept". That just muddied the waters.

Imagine if we were standing in front of a white board and I wrote 1/4 twice. The physical appearance of those two batches of dry-erase marker ink would be slightly different. They would have slightly different shapes. They would be in different physical locations on the board. They might even have different colors. They might even be individually multicolored. None of those things would matter. Both of them would be the "same symbol" because they would both be members of a single equivalence class (with respect to the conventions of mathematical notation).

His stance on covid in general boils down to “be healthy enough that you don’t need a vaccine”. He consistently argues that the real issue is obesity and that being healthy and fit (and taking vitamins) reduces the risk of covid to nearly nil for young people, to the point that even the small risk of vaccine side effects or unknown long term effects could be worth considering. That’s not the same as telling people not to get vaccinated.
I suspect those "inherent limitations" will continue disappearing over time. It wasn't that long ago that file-system access was one of the biggest ones. WASM and/or Workers could bridge the gap on language servers, building/running code, etc. Not much would be left at that point

And I think there are definitely cases where installing is a barrier to entry; think about people in locked-down enterprise environments, or students coding for the first time (on their own computers or otherwise). We're talking about an IDE becoming as readily available as Notepad (or even more so, since it's available on all platforms)
