In my experience, all the major platforms eventually close all accounts.
> it’s just bad UX "Bad" I would say means you can still achieve your task. I was presented with over sixty download links, and not being an idiot or someone to be taken for a ride, I refused to go along with it, and…
Exactly the problem I had. It would take Amazon almost no effort to make a single archive with all those files in. I cannot help but view this as deliberate obstruction.
I've been trying for over two years to get my data from Amazon. I eventually got to a point where Amazon provided a web-page, which has no less than sixty-two download links on, each of which would have to be manually…
Seemed okay to me with regard to caveats. Performance issues -> it's lock-free and scales profoundly better than non-lock-free.
> So all operations on _Atomic variables in C11 are implicitly atomic I may be wrong, but I would be shocked if this was so. I think you may be mixing up non-tearing writes as opposed to atomic writes, which are…
An atomic write will need to be issued, and on the face of it, that C11 code is not issuing an atomic write. I could be wrong, but I would expect a particular function or macro to be used for an atomic write, and when…
Lock-free garbage collection exists and there's quite a body of literature.
You can produce this behaviour. Look for MCAS, from Cambridge Uni. It never took off. I think it didn't scale.
You're talking here about memory barriers, but I was asking if atomic writes are in use. Atomic writes have nothing to do with memory barriers. On modern platforms atomic writes are available without memory barriers of…

I may be wrong, but I don't see this working in theory. The basic problem is that for any physical core, there is no guarantee that any writes will ever be seen by any other core (unless the necessary extra magic is…
> Smith certainly envisioned a significant role for government No, he did not. Quote me anything in WoN where he says this should happen. He writes about where it does happen, but that's all; he describes the situation.…
Wikpedia can write what it likes; to my eye that's empty prose.

I was speaking once to a Dutch acquaintence, who told me that in his economics class at Uni, they were taught Smith was in favour of large State subsidies...!
In what way? The subjects are utterly different. All I can think of is that it introduces you to Smith and his style of writing. To my eye, this is not of any particular value.
> He saw the interests of large capitalists as conflicting with those of the public: capitalists seek high profits, which corrupt and impoverish society. This is rubbish. WoN is one of my very favourate books. Smith is…
Russia has invaded Ukraine. It's like having a criminal break into your house. If my neighbours are unhappy with me taking action against that criminal - maybe they're friends with him - I'm not much inclined, in the…
