when a “pass by value” is performed using an address as the value
I like the emphasis on "pass by value" here -- it highlights that the function always takes some value as a parameter. the compiler know what to do if that value is an address
-
passing an address “by value”
an address by value is a reference
-
If the word “share” doesn’t come out of your mouth, you don’t need to use a pointer
key point
-
The benefit of passing data “by value” is readability. The value you see in the function call is what is copied and received on the other side
no hidden cost, eg., memory growth on the heap or pauses during garbage collection. but there is a cost in stack memory usage and "scoping" among multiple stack frames, CPU caching, etc.
-
Functions execute within the scope of frame boundaries that provide an individual memory space for each respective function. Each frame allows a function to operate within their own context and also provides flow control. A function has direct access to the memory inside its frame, through the frame pointer, but access to memory outside its frame requires indirect access. For a function to access memory outside of its frame, that memory must be shared with the function.
eg., shared via the "pointer" to an address in heap memory

For example, if you increase your saving by $1, what would be the marginal benefit? It would be some small number–say, an additional 5 cents in interest you might gain, plus some psychological marginal benefit–say, something you value at 2 cents–in terms of additional feelings of security. The marginal benefit would thus be the sum of the 5 cents in interest plus the 2 cents in feelings of additional security, or $0.07 per additional dollar saved. If you plot a curve between the benefits and costs, the slope is .07. That’s the marginal benefit. The marginal cost is the inverse.
wait, there's an experiment demonstrating this.... something about selling a dollar

Paul Balogh, interests me in particular. It’s an end-to-end demonstration of an application, complete with a CLI and Docker contained API server.

Osaka and neighboring Kyoto, Hyogo, and Nara prefectures, which are all within one hour by train of the central city of Osaka, logged over 760 new infections in total on Monday
this is shockingly high. why was there so much more attention on the Tokyo infections with little mention of this?
-
As for businesses, the prefectural governments would also be able to request that they “thoroughly implement infection control measures.”
what does this mean?
-
prefectural governors in the designated areas would be authorized to “request” residents stay at home except for essential tasks, such as grocery shopping
"request" has a special meaning here
-
Mondays have typically seen a decrease in the number of cases, a trend that was believed to be the result of a smaller number of tests being conducted over the weekend.
amazing...
-
Tokyo, the center of the coronavirus outbreak in Japan, reported 83 new cases Monday. The increase was lower than the previous two days — 117 on Saturday and 143 on Sunday. Sunday was the highest single-day total yet.
are even these numbers correct?

WebAssembly gives you lightweight sandboxing by default
so, the other blog post which led me here talks about containers as an OS level sandbox... so what's the proper definition of "sandboxing"?

The Go version was over 1700 lines long and was loaded with boilerplate and auto-generated code. The Rust version was only 127 lines long
first impulse is to say that the author did not write idiomatic Go code, but I want to know why that impulse is wrong

The sense of violation is in fact intimately connected to what they do or say to you — even if they're not directly commenting on what they've seen. It affects your expectations of them and what kinds of things they could conceivably do or say to you.
I don't completely understand the point here, but it strikes me as something deep

Suppressing criticism of whether to learn something is siding with 'learn this thing' dogmatically, instead of rationally resolving the conflict.
What's it mean to "rationally resolve a conflict" here? Who's conflicted, and over what?

interesting. what's meant by "anticipating" here? Is Lulie saying, when I come up with an idea, am I also anticipating how the idea may be critiqued?

One problem that should NOT be solved by unioning file systems (and file systems in general) is source control. Modern source control systems are quite good compared to the crud we had to live with back in the 1990's. Source control software back then was so buggy and slow that it actually seemed like a good idea to implement parts of it in the kernel; indeed, some commercially successful source control systems still in use today require explicit file system support. Nowadays, many fast, reliable source control systems are available and it is generally agreed that complex and policy-heavy software should be implemented outside of the kernel.
like Docker?

I'm not sure that the difference in lifestyle is "unfair", but it is definitely frustrating to have such less opportunity and leisure
