You communicate via channels, like in Go. Objects passed through a channel are deep copied. To share an object, you can create an actor thread that owns it, or if you're sure the object won't be GCed (i.e. by exempting it with the

Ok, I got it. They're exactly the same. Either way you'd need to do a second search, because you're trying to differentiate between 3 states: "probably a match", "empty", or "deleted". A much bet

That's a great point. It's still a possible optimization with a compare-and-swap or if you can determine that you're in a single threaded context.

I would argue that "the table" is not mutated, only the internal state of its implementation. Every time you access any information, a cache at some layer below you is updated. Is that also gross?

I always assumed that the loud noise reduces sensitivity, tuning out some quiet signals like tinnitus. Same thing as not being able to hear well after a loud concert.

My argument was only that bringing the cost down would make it easier to build a more reliable P2P network. I doubt that reliability/cost are the main reasons P2P networks aren't more popular, rather that the average person doesn&

Such a compression algorithm could make it much cheaper for the community to volunteer capacity to the network (short-range relays? data storage nodes? crowdfunded cell towers?), which could make it much more feasible to build a reliable P2

I assume there's a similar patch for the Mac client, but this offers no protection for users running the Windows client via WINE.

I don't see the point... QWERTY is great for touch screens, for the same reason it was great for typewriters: common letter combinations are spaced out. Typing with two thumbs on a small screen is comfortable due to greater space betwe

It does matter, because your argument categorically does not apply. Brave is not involved with the distribution of content.

That's not what's happening, though. Brave is not running a streaming video service. They aren't hosting or distributing the content. There's nothing illegal about holding money and pledging to give it to someone if they

Nim by Example[0] is a great introduction. The blog mentioned in the OP also has a writeup that explores some of the tooling[1]. After that, the official tutorial[2] is a comprehensive dive. The standard library documentation is sometimes l

Second this. I've been playing with Nim for the past couple months and love it. The biggest downside has been lack of tooling.
