I'm not familiar with these technologies, but when I was studying databases, SSI was touted as the "better" 2PL on the horizon. I wonder how SSI compares to 2PLSF, and why it wasn't mentioned here?
I’m working on a memory model for a new platform which is almost entirely based around copy on write, snapshots and SSI. But in distributed effects you still need locks and two phase transactions and so on. These are largely complementary features imo.
Agreed - this is a great documentary. When considering the scale and brutality of the meat industry, it opened my eyes that this is probably the greatest crime humanity has ever committed.
Not just for the animals, but for the PTSD endured by the workers in this industry as well.
Requiem for a Dream. Since I saw it as a teen ~15 years ago, it hasn't slipped my mind.
It's has an effective anti-drug message, probably more than any other movie or documentary I've seen. And it does this without being an "anti-drug" movie, belaboring you with facts and stats.
It's a heart breaking drama, because it goes beyond drugs. Because what the characters are really seeking isn't a quick fix, but an ability to connect with others.
What you're trying to say is that you completely misunderstood the message of that movie being primarily about loneliness, rather than drugs in it's purity?
Rust fans should contribute to Rust kernels and stop suggesting porting existing ones like Linux, rewriting existing working code without introducing new bugs and changing behavior is hard and expensive as in developer hours, it is faster to do it from scratch in your favorite language with your favorite patterns and drop legacy stuff(even this means you will have less possible users then Linux).
> I'm not convinced about Rust for an OS kernel (there's a lot more to system programming than the kernel, though), but at the same time there is no question that C has a lot of limitations.
> To anyone who wants to build their own kernel from scratch, I can just wish them luck. It's a huge project, and I don't think you actually solve any of the really hard kernel problems with your choice of programming language. The big problems tend to be about hardware support (all those drivers, all the odd details about different platforms, all the subtleties in memory management and resource accounting), and anybody who thinks that the choice of language simplifies those things a lot is likely to be very disappointed.
But note that this seems to be a cheaper, ascetic equivalent, of the classic meditation retreat, which is already popular in both the East and the West.
Marketing it as a prison puts a quirky twist on it. This makes for an interesting article, which also fits Western stereotypes.
This is a great comment. I live in Seattle, and I think the Seattle Freeze is largely a tragedy of groupthink. If you want to break out, there are a ton of opportunities to learn about this city and meet interesting people. Here are a couple networks that might help someone get started:
Getting out of my loneliness was a struggle at first, but after putting in some effort, I now have a great friendships that will last a lifetime. Not only do I feel comfortable meeting new people, but I really enjoy the process as well. Here are some books that have helped me break out of my "freeze" depression:
Nb: this is a shitpost, although I suspect other Luke's would feel the same way :)
