Not that I would lose sleep in anger over my missing ETH (I was not hit by this, I did not have anything touching FTX), but I think your take is a little unreasonable when FTX clearly acted in a way that is directly illegal to do as a financial institution. I don't keep my life savings in crypto either, too risky, but still.
Usually when you want this property it is also a benefit that your events when ordered by primary key, also gives a rough ordering by time, no need for a secondary index
There are many different reasons. Firstly, Apple built experience over a decade designing and building the chips, taking over more and more of the design and IP. Then making these chips at a Intel competitor TSMC, who has a different business model to Intel. Apple were also willing to compromise. The first years had weird experiences for customers with Rosetta, broken apps and Macs that could only drive a single external monitor and connect to few devices. Yet we clearly saw the power efficiency from the better foundry tech at TSMC, coupled with decade of saving watts for mobile phone batteries.
I doubt, as that would break any FileChannel.write(ByteBuffer) that expects the buffer to be consumed (remaining()==0)
I suppose it's possible to create a new set of API or augment the existing ones not to use thread pool, still rather unlikely. Also it'd require a general widely supported async from the OS, incl. Windows
> I doubt, as that would break any FileChannel.write(ByteBuffer) that expects the buffer to be consumed (remaining()==0)
You can't expect that with AsynchronousFileChannel::write at the moment, though, because the buffer is consumed on a background thread. As the docs say [1]:
> Buffers are not safe for use by multiple concurrent threads so care should be taken to not access the buffer until the operation has completed.
And as the article says, on Windows, these writes are "truly" async at the OS level, so portable code already needs to deal with that.
I think Salad Fingers is very good, but surrealism was not invented in 2003. Surely there must have been earlier animated films with surreal themes. It could have a place as early internet art, and I don't understand how novel it really is, but I am not a art historian either.
On the contrary, I think many of us miss a bit of the internet that was before 2015. Todays walled gardens of stalker ad agencies and mega corps feels very different to the internet I knew.
