This was out of left field. I didn’t expect the pardon but the sense of camaraderie with the founder of Silk Road is less surprising.

He promised it to the Libertarian Party during the campaign to get their votes. I wasn't sure he was going to keep that promise, but apparently so.

tfg wanted the death sentence for people who sold drugs. Now he frees the Silk Road guy - the Amazon of drug sales.
Tell that to the families of the people who OD’d:

Det bubblar av irritation och frustration inom Solidariska byggare. För trots de senaste årens många framgångar ratas nu den syndikalistiska fackföreningen från att delta i Byggnadsarbetareförbundets nordiska konferens om arbetslivskriminalitet och migrantorganisering som hålls i Stockholm nästa vecka.

i mostly also watch the live scores (not many fans of cricket in netherlands). But a score graph like that is quite a fun exercise 👌
in reply to vibhatsu

@vibhatsu I originally wrote it for when there was a highlights program of a T20 or one-day game. It's usually impossible to follow how the second team's progress relates to the target, so the "scoring Worm" is incredibly useful, especially for my wife, who is not experienced, but happy to watch a game with me.

And yes, it was a fun little project.

One day I should become familiar with how to make little projects like this available for other people.

Whenever SCOTUS makes an unconstitutional ruling, state governors should do what Joe Biden should have done: announce that the court has delegitimized itself by making such a ruling, and declare that their state will not recognize the rulings of an illegitimate court.

Very Promising Linux Patch Optimizes TLB Flushes During Page Reclamation


reshared this

in reply to petsoi

(quick search)
A TLB flush is used when the virtual memory address mappings to physical memory addresses need to be updated.
This patch reduces the number of flushes needed to keep the memory current by a factor of 512, by using some fancy buffering.

Sounds good, wonder if I'll notice it once it's mainline

in reply to tetris11

This probably won't make much difference unless your application is frequently adding and removing large numbers of page mappings (either because it's explicitly unmapping memory segments, or because pages are constantly being swapped in and out due to low system memory). I would suspect that the only things which would really benefit from this under "normal" circumstances are some particularly I/O intensive applications with lots of large memory mappings (e.g. some webservers, some BitTorrent clients), or applications which are frequently allocating and deallocating huge slabs of memory.

There might be some improvement during application startup as all the code+data pages are mapped in and the memory allocator's arenas fill up, but as far as I know anonymous mappings are typically filled in one page at a time on first write so I don't know how relevant this sort of batching might be.

I sometimes have to mount large swap files to assist with some concurrent tasks. Would this patch help here?
in reply to tetris11

Yeah, it'd definitely be faster while pages are actively being moved to swap.
in reply to DaPorkchop_ [any]

maybe it's useful for jvm and other vms that deal with lots of allocations.
in reply to devfuuu

This is specific to page reclamations, which only occur when the kernel is removing a block of memory from a process. VMs in particular pretty much never do this; they pin a whole ton of memory and leave it entirely up to the guest OS to manage. The JVM also rarely ever returns heap memory to the kernel - only a few garbage collectors even support doing so (and support is relatively recent), and even if you have it configured correctly it'll only release memory when the Java application is relatively idle (so the performance hit isn't noticeable).

in reply to Democracy Matters

Literally Trump's storm troopers.

His power-abusing, justice-obstructing pardons of 1,600 terrorist Capitol attackers also are a desperate, underhanded & brazen attempt to **exculpate himself**, suggesting to the public "if they didn't do wrong, then neither did he!

Besides being another, this time nonviolent insurrection against the authority of the United States & the laws thereof.
