The effects of THC aren't an on/off kind of thing. There is a huge range of middle ground between baseline and high in the sky. You wouldn't call someone medicated on Adderall as prescribed by a doctor unfit for driving, eit

dcron is very lightweight and has most of those features. Dunno about random delay/timeouts, but worst case those sound like a 10 line shell script away. https://github.com/dubiousjim/dcron

What makes you think adults don't like flavored liquids? Seems insane to suggest that adults would prefer the taste of ashtray over apple or orange (I like fruity aromas). I mostly vape without flavoring nowadays because I'm lazy,

For anyone who wants to go a similar route I can highly recommend OpenWrt as the OS. Not only does it run on cheap routers, but also on big x86 machines and even in VMs and/or containers. For example, I run OpenWrt on my desktop in a L

FWIW for portage (Gentoo) there is g-sorcery[0], which can create ebuilds for Emacs (m/elpa) and python packages automatically. Similarly there is also cargo-ebuild[1] which can create ebuilds for rust programs/libraries, includin

Sounds like a lack of exposure to me. With enough experience you should have no trouble to tell if others are speaking in a certain manner that is associated with male, female, child, teen, boss, subordinate, etc. etc. If you can tell you

Same. I never check the "new" page, but this is the first time I've seen it and I've been reading HN almost daily for over half a decade. 2-3 years before Rust went 1.0 at least.

That would suck for anything IPv6 (minimum MTU is 1280, as opposed to 576 or something around that).

You can add descriptive error messages when an error happens (like multiple mutable borrows) during macro expansion. Macros are just regular list code, so all runtime features like printing functions are available. You could even write a FP

Common Lisp does have a "proper strong type system". What it doesn't have OOTB is is static type checking at compile time. Those two are orthogonal issues. Although with CLOS (object system) you get pretty close. Some com

What's the advantage of using the CFS quota mechanism over cgroups cpulimit? I've been using cgroups to successfully make heavy compile jobs unnoticeable by limiting CPU shares to "0" (essentially idle priority) and limi

It used to be part of the kernel back in the day. It was called devfs. It was dropped because a userkspace implementaton is more flexible and easier to extend and tweak. udev also isn't the only choice, mdev also exists and works wit

How could a rich existing power exert control over who and how someone uses bitcoin? There is no mechanism by which such control could be exerted. The worst you can do is monitor traffic and try to correlate wallets and transactions to know

I do create my own "EFI stub" by embedding the kernel and initrd in a GRUB image as memdisk using grub-mkimage. Then I sign that using my own keys and copy it over to the EFI partition. One cool thing about it is that I can still

I don't share that view. While there are things that I'd really miss in 2000 era Internet today like Wikipedia, GitHub and maybe YouTube, the only thing that really sucked was the IE monopoly (almost like Chrome today) and the Int

IIRC, the other way around. The editor who greenlighted the WIMP paper for print (and only because it was already an established name) regretted this decision once he saw the MACHO paper. Apparently he doesn't like cute names.

Of course a mathematician improves when gaining nowledge and understanding. The question is how fast that happens and how easily that can be applied in different contexts or how hard it is to even recognize when which fact might be relevant

by binarybanana 5y ago
No, that is correct. There are ways to avoid locks, but the stdlib implemtation doesn't do it. There are probably a bunch of crates that implemented concurrent BTrees, though.

There are ways to make it work. The simplest would be to just not do any splaying most of the time. No splaying means no locking is necessary, just an atomic read to check if anything changed. Apparently it's actually good for performa

Ah yes, that would probably explain your experience. OSX might be UNIX certified, but it differs in radical ways from classic UNIX, like file system hierarchy and installed libraries (how many have something like glib installed system wide?

The amount of dirty pages the kernel keeps in RAM is configurable through sysctl. If the buffer is full any further write blocks the process. If you have less free RAM than the allowed dirty page buffer what you said is correct though. Ther
