Yeah, we agree on that last bit. Though technically exploding is also a "wrong result" as we saw with Crowdstrike...

I think the OP's point was that '/' is not a mathematical divide anyways. Sure, we can remove '/' and make that a happy face emoji but I don't think that changes the premise here. Making sure you don&

Israel is acting towards its declared objectives which it views as existential: The removal of Hamas from power in Gaza and the return of its hostages. Hamas is acting towards its declared long term objectives of destroying Israel at any co

I think the reality is that demand for good software developers is only going to grow. This has been the trend since the 1960's and it shows no signs of reversing. There have been periods of slowdown and reversal (e.g. dot com bust) bu

The US public is not as supportive of Israel as it used to be but support is still broad. The opinions you're reflecting are a small minority. I would expect that democrats lost votes on their "both sides" approach here since

Totally agree. Not only would a coverage guided fuzzer catch this they should also be adding every single file they send out to the corpus of that automated fuzz testing so they can get somewhat increased coverage on their parser. There may

As far as I'm aware there's never a requirement to use a specific product/technology for compliance. The standards will require processes or something very general and the way a company complies is their choice. It's cer

Yeah... I understood the ask ;) In your example the tab is strictly finger-picking over chords since that's how the song goes but some tabs are lead guitar tabs which might be sliding from the 15th fret to the 3rd fret or other things

you don't need to airgap it. just limit the access to the specific APIs/access to the database and block everything else. CrowdStrike won't be able to upgrade itself through your database API...

But that's not useful. So you're saying just put on a CMaj13 grip for playing anything in a scale to the OP? On your 7 string guitar? EDIT: Also you have to be missing at least one note... CMaj7 had 4 notes + 13 ... c e g b + a (

A lot of tabs do have them... Also you're not always picking notes from a chord, though I guess often you are.

I've used a 3090 and some of the predecessors and VM/CMS. The "monitor" was called CP (control program) IIRC. XEDIT was a great editor. There was also Rexx (and previously EXEC and EXEC/2) as the system's progr

I have a fair bit of experience writing tests for concurrent code that uses timers on Go. We started with an open source test library ( https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/benbjohnson/clock ). It had a lot of problems.

Wouldn't the deadline be now+zero for real time audio applications? If I'm building a guitar pedal (random example) ideally I want no delay from the input to the output. Any digital delay makes things strictly worse and so any jit

by nsguy 2y ago
If you have a buffer that's being clocked out and your goal is to keep data flowing, the jitter is going to influence how small your buffer can be. Let's say you're producing 56Khz audio, the best you can do is produce a [sam

You don't really do these any more on a modern CPU. This is stuff I used to do 30 years ago and you might still do if you're on a micro-controller or some other tiny system. The CPUs aren't slow. Tne main problem is if the OS

by nsguy 2y ago
Yes. Most modern Ethernet isn't running on shared media (i.e. there are no collisions) and for the most part no packet loss as long as there's no congestion. For networks and for the CPU, when you're fast enough the jitter ma

IIRC reading some Intel CPU design history some of their designers are from a CS/software background. But I agree. Software is naturally very sequential which is different than digital hardware which is naturally/inherently parall

I think the key word above was modern. I felt able to design a simple CPU when I finished my Computer Architecture course in university. I think I forgot most of it by now ;) There are a few basic concepts to wrap your head around but once

Right. It confused me but re-reading PG's post he's certainly making that distinction. Yeah- I have seen the bash your head against a wall and not take any input kind of stubborn.

Obstinant can just be a nay-sayer though? Someone who isn't even trying to solve the problem their way but someone getting in the way of problems being solved at all. I have a lot of respect for people that are confident in something w

Sure. The profiler is going to give you information related to what it is looking at. If your bottleneck is disk I/O then you need to look at disk I/O. If your bottleneck is some other mechanism that's not purely cycles then

I had a similar issue recently. Someone suggested a technical solution that based on my experience has zero chance of being correct. It was said with great confidence that makes me doubt my experience. Great confidence but zero supporting d

Book looks very interesting. random nit (obviously not having read the book): I would say p99 behaviour can be captured in profiling, it's just going to be the p99 of the profiles. E.g. if you sample 10,000 stack traces out of your exe

In theory you can get a pretty good idea of where instructions came from in the source code though the optimizer does, shall we say, obfuscate/spread that a little bit (which is why debugging through optimized code or looking at core d

Aren't profile guided optimizers capable of doing similar optimizations?
