The lack of subreddits is a big difference because it inhibits users coagulating into subgroups. Reddit also allows people to be banned from subreddits by subreddit owners/mods which leads to groupthink more.
Not quite sure what you have in mind here, but you need reservoir sampling for this in order to make the selection uniformly random (which I assume is what's desired)
You can just use this algorithm but ignore everything after the first k elements. The algorithm still works if you don't store anything beyond the first k elements but just pretend they are there.
`try_emplace` is not a huge improvement since it overloads the existing keyword "try" to mean something pretty different. Should be `emplace_if_absent`/`insert_if_absent` but changing the API of stdlib would require going through a huge formal process
Could be crackpots or could be regular people who are so frustrated they express themselves that way.
And the truth is if the 'Bill Gates' had to deal with this frustration himself (most likely let's say he doesn't he has people who deal with it for him when he needs something from another company or his own) he'd implement changes to keep users happier. Noting of course that you are always going to have a segment of people that will both get angry and have edge problems.
Did or does 'Bill Gates' ever actually try to be a regular user of Microsoft support actually waiting in the call queue on hold for 10 minutes to an hour and even getting disconnected?
Does anyone at the company (in a position to order improvements) ever do this?
(This applies to many companies obviously 'bill gates' and 'microsoft' are just placeholders.)
I think it's underestimated the amount of psychological pain that some of the software (of Microsoft and other companies) has caused people over the years.
That's not how "lock free" is defined/used. If you are considering the MESI M state to be a "lock" then you also have to grant that any write instruction is a "lock".
In fact this a crux of the problem in low latency code and there are ways to combat this.
I know there is an academic wait-free and lock-free definition but folks use those often incorrectly as a slogan that something is magically better because it’s „lockfree”.
Imagine how _you_ would implement a read-modify-write atomic in the CPU and why E stands for exclusive (sort of like exclusive in a mutex)
I think you are missing the broader point: why should one read things occurring in an alien context to begin with? It's not as if there is a dearth of more modern works. It seems like the main function of selecting older works is to make it artificially harder for students to read.
> why should one read things occurring in an alien context to begin with?
I think there's a trivial answer which is that all things you encounter are fundamentally from an alien context. The degree of alien and intention of the action are the things to consider before proceeding.
For example, why would one choose to read the account of a survivor of tragedy? To develop some amount of (emotional or cognitive) empathy? To learn a broader way of thinking that could apply to a future situation? Most simply: to learn from the past.
If the goal is entertainment, evaluate your participation such that you maximize your utility. If the goal is learning, one should be wary of premature rejection without sufficient context to avoid missing the lesson. And there is an annoying reality in which most situations can teach something.
I'm using "context" in the sense of GP as to why it is hard to read e.g. Beowulf. Certainly one could find a modern account of a survivor of tragedy that would be more approachable? But in any case, accounts of tragedies of survivors are not the sort of material one finds in an English class, which is what's being criticized here (and indeed reading such accounts would probably be an improvement for the reasons you give).
I searched several of these terms and they are all specifically jargon of game of life enthusiasts, (i.e. search reaults are all on fansites related to game of life) not general cellular automata jargon.
conwaylife.com isn't just for GOL, although it is the main subject, there is an Other Cellular Automata forum.
also it's not really a fansite, it's a bit more academic than what would be considered a "fansite".
