> 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…

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 adminnin…

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 spe…

> in one control is just given up and regained unpredictably Which one? It’s “cooperative” ie not unpredictable. The points where one can block are predictable and documented expli…

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 …

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 categor…

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…

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…

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…

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 …

> I don't have numbers to counter this off the top of my head, but congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a rare syndrome, but still common enough that it is taught to every medical stu…

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 it…

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 t…

> That’s not how it works What you’re saying makes little sense for most “free trial” offers. These offers do not come with a term agreement (ie they are cancel anytime), and furth…

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 epigen…

> I've been writing C++ for 21 years now (started when I was 14). So? As far as I know this could be 1 year+ 20 repeats. In contrast to your experience, I missed move semantics sin…

> You simply cannot call ' http://localhost' from a https domain. That’s simply wrong. You have outdated information. Unless you don’t consider Firefox, Chrome, IE, and Edge to mat…

Not all of them are undefined behavior

The Walkman was sold until recently (if it isn’t still) and of course living in a big city you see a handful of people using a Walkman. It never died completely. There is of course…

The bean counters don’t set the price.. the market does. The bean counters are there to predict how the market will respond and plan accordingly. If they weren’t selling an adequat…
