> You do not really await anything. What actually happens is an event handler gets called on an event, So the event handler gets called immediately? No that’s not right. What would be the point of that? The event handler or continuation

Like all “good” tech ideas this isn’t a terribly bad idea on its surface. It has no tech requirements. Running this just sounds like a nightmare. I really don’t want to be adminning griefing and trolling targeted at cancer patients. Well ru

This is no different than async/await. At some point you await a scheduled primitive, it could be a timer, io readiness, an io completion... and yield to a scheduler. You don’t specify explicitly when you return. These are not tightly

He’s not getting swap. Or in a sense he is... you can still thrash.. the read only pages of the executable and any memory mapped files are still eligible to be paged out. When you get into a memory pressure situation you end up with a handf

Worse is better is a simple minded and wrong interpretation. In reality the outward simplicity of pledge(2) masks a great deal of high quality engineering and research. The categories for pledge were not just pulled out of someone’s ass. Se

Perhaps a better term would be “pool”. Anyway, what’s being leaked is “handles” or events not actually fds. You only actually need as many fds as the maximum possible number passed to a syscall. The mapping of handles/event objects in

If you read the full thread that is a bit of a red herring and beside the point (thats why I said the conveyance of the performance implication was poor)... indeed window WFMO only supports 64 objects per call. They mention that the fd issu

Linux already has what you’re talking about with eventfd and epoll. In Linux each thread can get an eventfd and you can POLLIN all of them. In fact I would argue that using futexes is the “roll your own solution” using lower level primitive

The short answer is it can be both (ie safe, beneficial and effectively a patent grab). It is also unlikely that an enantiopure chemical is less safe then it’s racemic counterpart and not unlikely that it is beneficial (this is not without

Temperature sensors in thermostats are nowhere near as precise as you seem to believe. And unless you have calibrated your sous vide to a standard I am willing to bet good money its not anywhere within 1 degree precision (having tested this

If it’s a recurring payment for a contract term sure. But most free trial offers are “cancel anytime” and pay in advance of the next subscription period. There’s nothing for them to pursue you for if you decline to pay. They just stop provi

That’s a needlessly hostile reply. Sickle cell, lupus, hypertension, IQ, diabetes, etc etc are all not distributed evenly across race or sex. Also, environmental factors and epigenetics interact in complex ways. I would not be at all surpri

It isn’t a jit issue it is a parsing issue. Also micro performance becomes macro at scale. This is not something that you worry or think about with a handful of literals. It would be good for an inner loop or code generator.

Is that all one question? Then it’s even worse, because then “use” also includes purely aspirational users. Nice. Also I don’t think anyone that participates on this website has any moral superiority over tech hipster webshit. But it’s good
