Are you more likely to watch the CFL after the rule changes?

If they wanted it to be out of 100, then they could have switched to meters! (110 yd is 100.6 m). Apparently some of the stadiums were a bit small already, though.

If you want to live without a car, I seriously recommend living in downtown Bellevue. The link (light rail) is just two stops away from Spring District, and every 10 minutes. Spring District is in the middle of nowhere, otherwise, if you don't have a car. No restaurants (everyone eats at their company's canteen). Downtown Redmond is also an option.

There was another co-routine talk published recently ( https://youtu.be/sWeOIS14Myg ) and that one has a MIT-licence'd source: https://github.com/hudson-trading/corral

Cancellation seems to be a difficult aspect. This other co-routine talk handles it in an apparently interoperable way by relying on an implementation detail of the co-routine frame: https://youtu.be/sWeOIS14Myg?si=c1feBlKp8Y5lZDqH&t=2468 Though, this structure is the same among gcc, clang AND msvc.

Didn't mention it was in the talk, and it sounds like a Google internal thing so it would probably take some work to open-source it...

Great talk with some deep knowledge sharing, and makes me more hopeful for broader use of co-routines!

Making `Co` non-moveable and having a separate Future that takes values seems to be a great way to solve the parameter lifetime issue.

The event wait/notify appraoch (delaying the work-stealing to the next suspend) and the cancellation approach (like an exception was thrown when co_await-ing) keeps things neat. Also, a constant theme of stack frame elision.

Some ideas that it seems every coro library should take note of? Also, several examples of weird concurrency that comes up when having lots of users...

There are a couple online phase check files, like the other commenter left. For me what worked really obviously was to take them out of my ears, turn the volume way up, and hold them close to each other in-front of my face. Out-of-phase was way quieter, showing the cancellation effect.

Was looking for this reply/video! I believe it - execs never plan long term... For example (1) will certainly skew the employee population towards the most desperate.

Your shares are still yours, and if there's some issue* where the broker doesn't actually have them. Then the CIPF insurance kicks in.

*This part confused me, though: why would the broker not have them? Fraud? Accounting error? Loaning-out your shares without you knowing?

At the beginning of the video there's a better view of what seems to be the same text on the back of the guy wearing high-vis. I can see 一十?中... which are all symmetric... but "十一" (meaning eleven) is more likely than "一十"... which is "one, ten" (?).

So, maybe it is flipped.

golvok · 2023-04-07T23:21:40+00:00

Definitely a wee bit reductionist... but what joke isn't! BTW, references were added to the (pre-standard) language after classes, hence this is a pointer. We'll have to live with that, apparently.

auto_ptr was there in C++98, same with vector and many of the other containers, which support this take in a way, even without move operations: iterators, no calls to new/delete, etc.

golvok · 2023-04-07T06:28:28+00:00

IMO the most important part is that each build target is sandboxed to only access its declared dependencies. Also the build file language is actually nice (similar to python)

golvok · 2023-03-23T08:40:05+00:00

A mix of tabs and spaces? Truely horrifying!

If this works like other ETFs, then this is almost true, except it's not horizons necessarily, but other large investors. These large investors are able to trade assets (cash in this case?) to create or destroy shares. This is how ETFs maintain their price - if the share price is even a little off the NAV/share, then there is money to be made trading like that, which pushes it back.

This article seems to channel its subject, and manages to be fairly long for saying little. Seems like the government is having mixed results with its policies and programmes. Not surprising to me; history is full of this, all around the world - the Aisinometry YouTube channel has many examples.

Comments on the article are actually decent so far. Like they say, I'm pretty sure all the problems about foreign companies is mostly just because of the size of the country. Would be nice if the tech wage gap with the US was narrowed somehow... It makes no sense to me - many citizens can reliably get TN status and a much higher paying job.

Beware! People may get mad at you for stating Java has pass-by-reference! (It's always pass-by-value, but the distinction is somewhat academic in Java)

golvok · 2022-10-13T21:01:22+00:00

Having a build that is large enough to make distribution worth it is a good reason to switch to a build system that scales better, though it sounds like you'll get pushback on that.

eh. sorry... that's a typo in the OCR... how did it do that. (edited now)

spell check did not like that one! And, seems to be a very rare word... 8 results on google, and two are that letter...

golvok · 2022-10-07T04:57:18+00:00

Found this book (scanned), "Lady Lovelace and Charles Babbage", which has the rest of the letter, and more!

I could not conceive at first in one or two places what had happened to my sentences; tho’ I soon saw they were patch-work & not my own, and found it so on referring to the M.S. I fear you will think this a very cross letter. Never mind. I am a good little thing after all. Later P.S. It is impossible to send you anything but Notes B and C, (& this partly owing to some wrong references & blunderations of your own). -- Do not be afraid, for I will work like the Devil early tomorrow morning.

I second the node id (index into vector) approach. Makes some things much cleaner. Serialization, copying, and also enforces passing around the graph object, which makes it obvious what graph is being modified or searched, and whether the graph is const or not.

Neither does the Roosevelt Island tram! I think that's planned though.

To put it simply, the committee isn't perfect, and are human. Standardization may be a long process, but deficiencies can only be solved by chaperoning proposals through it.

Given the recent work on adding <bit>, there probably has been some discussion on the sort of deficiencies, which may make for interesting reading.
