It's straightforward to make this slightly more dynamic by keeping a linked list of arenas and just add new one when you run out of space. You get most of the benefit with only a tiny increase in complexity.

That doesn't fix your second objection, but where you want to use this tends to be where you know object lifetimes are similar anyway.

E.g. way back we loaded fonts for an embedded device using t1lib, which on loading a font made hundreds of tiny malloc calls, all of which were freed at the exact same time when the font was freed. Adding an arena allocator both sped it up, reduced memory use (less malloc overhead), and it didn't matter at all that we couldn't free things within the arena because they'd always be freed at the same time anyway.

So the takeaway from that might be that arena allocators aren't always right, but you'd be surprised how often you can predictably group allocations into sets with similar enough lifetimes it doesn't matter much. A key to this is often the trick showed in the linked article: Don't just lump everything into the same arena; use different arenas for different lifetimes. You might well find you're left with so few allocations that don't seem to fit that you can afford to just keep those around in a single long-lived arena as well.

The party which made the separatist demand is called Shiromani Akali Dal:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiromani_Akali_Dal

The party shifted to a moderate agenda in the 90s. Funnily enough, this party has been working with Modi's Hindutva party or BJP.

In comparison, J&K demands were raised by a party called National Conference. This party has never shifted its agenda and continued with demand for sometimes separatism and sometimes special status for J&K.

Politics runs on supporting specific agendas. J&K agenda is still supported. No one denies that. You will not find any Indian sources claiming that. While there is no popular party supporting the Khalistani agenda. So, Indian sources claim that.

While there are parties in Canada supporting and pushing this. So, you'd surely find facts in the international media saying there is support.

I just grabbed a cousin of this model and have been having fun modding it and use it more than my new gaming laptop. It's a A285. I have a surface laptop 4 that's smaller and technically faster but I still enjoy typing on the Thinkpad more and other than ram everything is basically upgradable.

It's "value added tax". If you do some business activity that increased the value of something then that increase is taxed.

The benefit is that with long production chains involving multiple business entities you tax the places proportionally to how much they earn from that production chain.

It's like income tax, but harder to dodge because you can't easily hide the sale.
Yeah, profiling is your friend. I forget if it's called a sharded slab or a buddy allocator, but the one where you have different preallocated buffers chunked at different sizes. Any time you allocate you are given the smallest chunk that will hold what you asked for. Profiling gives you optimal size boundaries as well as the number of each. Add a safety margin and off you go. Super fast allocation and guaranteed no fragmentation. In a c++ codebase overloading std::new to do this is probably the easiest way to get your allocation performance back and avoid fragmentation.

What is the idea of this thread?
I'm inclined to agree. Articles that are uncomplimentary of the industry ethos are few, and comments the criticize that ethos often see antagonistic replies or downvotes.

There are plenty of people here who have their eyes open and maintain a broad view of tech and the world. But these people seem overwhelmed by those that have completely swallowed the industry koolaid.

It's sad. I remember the fundamental optimism of the early days of IT . That's largely been replaced by smallest-feasible-product and monification.

Shame this discussion got knocked off the front page as I think it's
one of the most interesting on the board today. I just watched the
video and the key line of the talk for me is this:

We must set the stage so that Big Tech must either play by the rules
of fair competition and be exposed to innovation or risk being;

"embroiled an unquantifiable guerilla warfare against engineers who
have the attackers advantage"

Hell, I'd found a dozen companies tomorrow, hell I'd raise an army and
work night and day if the objective was, by guile, craft and surprise,
to knock chunks out of these lumbering monsters with the law
protecting me instead of the enemy.

In other words, Big Tech simply enjoys too much protection of the
law. Remove those laws and allow us real hackers to tear them to
shreds.

Governments should not be creating new laws to fight Big Tech. It
should be repealing and dissolving existing laws that protect them,
and let nature do the rest.

Break off Chrome into its own company that can serve it's own interests in making a good browser that serves the user (remember it's called the user agent because the browser must ultimately serve the user above all else) rather than serving Googles ad interests would be the right kind of action.

Right now, Chrome is compromised in terms of meaningful user privacy and user security because Googles bottom line largely relies on them not making those features as good as they can, while pretending they do. They can't just block 3rd party cookies to reduce tracking, it has to come with their Topics API so that Google can keep its ad monopoly (and that API consolidates Googles powers even more, especially considering the current implementation has Google playing literal gatekeeper over who can and can't use it instead of solving the privacy issue that the Topics API has).

For another example; WebManifest v3 was intended as a security update to the mess of v2... but it also conveniently takes a wrecking ball to adblockers (a major issue for Google the ad company) and guess what Google (the browser developer) is basically completely non-responsive about. They could respond to this and work out an actual solution, but the only thing they do is keep pushing back the permanent end date for V2 to avoid the bad PR.

Finally, as for avoiding punishment; Google could do all of the above and make an agreement (with legal consequences upon violation) that the Chrome team/subsidiary is wholly independent from the rest of Google when it comes to making executive decisions on where to take a browser. That way, they wouldn't have to break it off and can still take in the profits/fund the development of Chrome without it being compromised into serving Google.

Oh wow that is a really interesting test solution. That would be an interesting thing to add to all zig tests (I know they already have the testing allocator and good valgrind support but I don't think that tests/simulates oom).

I love things like these that use existing tests and expand the to just test further thing in already covered flows. We have done similar things at my work where we test expansion of data models against old models to check that we cover upgrade scenarios.

The article quotes this and responds that people need to come up with their own data for crime.

I’ve visited SF every few years for the last 20. On my last visit about 6 weeks ago it looked like Covid was still a thing. Streets that were previously safe, around what was DSO bar and Monarch, were dangerous. It feels like a lawless environment. I could have measured this by counting incidents of crime or homeless people but it seems pointless to measure something you can see.

No, as alternate stores will change the experience for everybody.

I download 0 new apps per year, but I use WhatsApp, Outlook, and Google Maps. Today, I get them all from one store - one password to remember, one credit card to have, one stupid set of "security questions" to forget the answers.

Tomorrow, Facebook AppStore will be the only place to get WhatsApp, Microsoft AppStore will be the only place to get Outlook, and Google AppStore will be the only place to get Google Maps, so I will need to download n app stores to get to where I am today. Create n accounts... accept n privacy policies... activate two-factor n times...

Yeah, no, thank you but no. I'm pretty happy with the AppStore as it is, thank you very much.

That's what I'm saying. That's the formal question posed, but you can easily answer it by explaining why you'd be good at the role. "I want to work at X because I believe that I could make a significant contribution to Y given my Z skills".
A common strategy is interpolation. The challenge is that forecasting itself is a form of interpolation. So you're forecasting based on forecasted data.

NanoBSD does this. It's a version of FreeBSD with an immutable (read-only) base.

I have a friend who was actually deep into it in the nineties with his parents. They went digging one or two times during the summer.

The creator said at the time that a 15yo high schooler could solve the game.

Around 2008 we tried it again for fun because surely, with the Internet, Wikipedia and Google Map it would be solvable! Well, no, all we got was feeling stupid and some new knowledge about France geography and history ;)

The thing is, while all the basic puzzles have been solved a long time ago, past the first ones you are never sure of anything. My intuition is that there are too many false leads. Moreover the "mega-astuce" (the last puzzle) the article mentioned is supposed to be from the leads you didn't use up until now, so you have to know which one, and this is the one which indicates the precise position.

We still check the forums from time to time and frankly it's going nowhere, the same debates over and over. I also don't care for all the drama the article speaks about.

In the end I don't think "solvable by a 15 yo" was accurate as when we checked the solution to another one of the creator hunts it was incredibly difficult, which was demoralizing.

Fun fact, Max Valentin found a digging hole not far from the actual owl in 1996. Those people were so close but may never know...
What you are describing is not the core of VAT. It's auxilary scheme for supporting export.

And it's a hole in VAT which enables various fraud.

Without that loophole you should rais the prices for your foreign customers by x% but that could make you globally uncompetitive, hence the loophole.

VAT is not a tax on customer, it's a tax on added value that every (profiting) company along the production chain creates.

Ultimately customer pays it, because the customer pays for everything, both value added and all the costs from previous steps.

But it doesn't mean it's a tax on consumer. Because in absence of it companies could just keep their prices as high as they are (because why lower them if the customer already pays them) while keeping all that money.
I guess I would consider the defining feature of true UPSERT support as being an atomic operation that does not exhibit "wonky transactional behaviour". Which means Postgres's ON CONFLICT...DO UPDATE, and not MERGE.

Given that MERGE has this "wonky transactional behaviour", I don't really see the point of using it at all. I guess it gives a more convenient syntax in some cases, but it seems like it will always be possible to replicate the functionality by something like separate INSERT/UPDATE operatiosn (optionally wrapped in a transaction). And OLAP use cases are unlikely to have lots of concurrent transactions that are liable to issues with this approach.

So basically, while you might want to UPSERT in an OLAP use case, you probably don't need watertight atomic UPSERTs, which are the feature that requires special database support.

Perhaps if you read “Rethinking PID 1”, from Lennart Poettering in 2010, who originally wrote systemd along with Kay Sievers

http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html

“But first, let's clear a few things up: is this kind of logic new? No, it certainly is not. The most prominent system that works like this is Apple's launchd system: on MacOS the listening of the sockets is pulled out of all daemons and done by launchd. The services themselves hence can all start up in parallel and dependencies need not to be configured for them. And that is actually a really ingenious design, and the primary reason why MacOS manages to provide the fantastic boot-up times it provides. I can highly recommend this video where the launchd folks explain what they are doing. Unfortunately this idea never really took on outside of the Apple camp.”

Other than that, your answer has nothing to do with what I wrote.

For example one of the stores being closed is in the UDistrict here in Seattle. It's one of the worst targets I've ever gone to, with the store consistently having nothing on the shelves, the layout being awful and generally poorly managed.

It's incredibly bad compared to the Safeway or HMart a block away and that's been a consistent experience since it opened up. None of the other stores in the area are struggling with these issues.
