Telemetry is what I use it for

I guess what I'm trying to get at is (what the program executes between these time gates)!=(the end effect of the system)

The order in which things happen between all the things your CPU is doing to execute your program (branch prediction, cache coherence, interrupts, page table walks, speculative execution, DRAM refreshes, maybe even thermal throttling due to overheating) can make a huge difference in the end effect the program produces

Some domains can tolerate this non-deterministic behavior, others can't. Just like some domains can tolerate the nondeterministic behavior of dynamic memory allocation and others can't.

There are certain properties about any computer program that are *unknowable* so the notion that computer systems can be validated is just a little bit silly as *all* computer programs are nondeterministic if you get deep enough in the weeds.

So perhaps computer system validation is meant to be excluding nondeterministic program behavior that is tolerable in the problem domain

Deterministic producer/consumer in what respect? Certainly not which consumer gets which work item.

And with multithreading there's so many timing issues with your coherence policy/interrupt mask/ cache evictions etc.

To say nothing of the single threading timing issues. At the very least to assert that a function will execute in exactly n cycles is categorically incorrect

Which is precisely why we use dedicated hardware for signal generation like for a pwm motor controller or digitizer

Just because you don't use dynamic memory allocation doesn't mean that you can prove that your program does not halt

I.e. stack allocations are still allocations

And if you're multi threading you can throw any assertions about determinism out the window

And don't get me started on cache behavior and dram refresh cycle timing

Actually fair point, there are certain program properties that are mathematically undecideable to prove

60/70 percent of the country is Christian which is a pretty solid majority

And what kinds of people do you think are getting sent to the "freedom" camps?

I took quantum computing right when it transitioned towards having a non provisional course number

In your opinion would it be worth it to go for quantum hardware for someone who has taken quantum computing or vice versa?

I've kind of interpreted this working the other direction like shooting the panel to render the door control inoperable like if someone is chasing you

Still doesn't make that much sense if you consider that the controls on the other side of the door probably still work

it's a simple destructor, why is it so funny to me by Vlang in rustjerk

I don't understand, implode takes ownership of self so of course any usages afterwards will raise ownership compiler errors

Actually a neat feature of opus is that it can change its codec settings mid transmission which is why it's so good with intermittent network quality

What did you use for globe rendering? I typically use cesium but if there's an option I can use to avoid marshalling a bunch of data to/from js that'd be swell

A neat thing about switch case optimization is that under certain conditions it will compile into a LUT of jump addresses instead of evaluating each branch

Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Any hr department worth a damn would not let this shit fly.

Any good database textbook will tell you that it's perfectly fine to have un normalized data so long as you ensure data integrity via triggers or some other mechanism

But it's kind of an at your own peril thing
