With Gerrit, you have the patch that lands on master and then you have the stages that that patch went through to get to that point, reviews on older versions of the patch, etc. all recorded in the web interface. So maybe just switch to a c

I don't get this. No I did not write that code but I paid money to eg. Anthropic to buy that code. To me it sounds like I own it just the same.

ninja supports separate build groups and different max number of parallel jobs for each. CMake's ninja generator puts compilation and linking steps in their own respective groups. End result is by default `nproc` parallel jobs for comp

Sure but you have to learn to use it. I'm saying that just have AI generate a SvelteKit project instead and you'll get better mileage out of it.

My impression is that tools that grew complex only because they want to serve every use case under the son got obsoleted by AI, and static site generators like Hugo are a good example. Today, if I were setting up a blog to host just some te

Type inference is when you try to infer a type from its usage. ``auto`` does no such thing, it just copies a known type from source to target. Target has no influence over source's type. https://news.ycombinator.com/i

> Again, this just isn't true. Again, it just is true. More fs-related operations mean less kthreads available for others . More syscalls means more OS overhead. It's that simple.

More system calls mean more overall OS overhead eg. more context switches, or as you say more contention on internal locks etc. Also, more fs-related system calls mean less available kernel threads to process these system calls. eg. XFS can

Man, I loved Neuromancer when I read it as a kid. Yes, it's a tough book to read, especially today where there are too many distractions as well as too many works of art built on the sci-fi ideas of that era. Neuromancer is the first i

This line is part of the code that creates an AST-like structure that is then fed into the compiler. The actual multiplication is done by calling the function handle returned from the Compile method.

When implementing the lock-free stuff, was portability (across processors) a goal? If yes, did you have to deal with anything specific? Do you notice any difference in behavior of correct implementations when ran on different processors? Ho

AFAICT the consensus is to say that an uninitialized variable (eg. int i;) has "garbage value". I'd say it's rather a technical term than profanity.

They have a computation to do, and they want to do it using a particular instruction. That's the only reason they are fiddling with the compiler. You would have to do so too, if you had decided to solve a problem at hand using a simila
