No, you're not. You've promoted yourself into middle management. Congratulations.

Explain how this would not lead to an eventual Eloi & Morlocks situation.

Did you verify with tcpdump/Wireshark?

> How are you getting ready?

Finding out how to make the best use of the large amount of DDR3 RAM I have.

Those Chinese C612-based boards for the E5-2696v3, et al. (which support DDR3 and DDR4) seem OK with the custom BIOSen out there.

Acrid is probably the word they were looking for. Wine isn't sour.

It could be that my affinity for port & madeira biases me, but the wine-haters I know have all expressed a strong dislike of what they described as its "acidity".

Lots and lots of information is not online. You'd be surprised.

I noticed this too and thought I was going crazy.

> Philosophically, what is the difference between empty space and space that will be reclaimed when you need it?

It makes large allocations fail which would have otherwise succeeded.

"When you need it" is a state you can only enter into, AFAICT, when you approach the limit gradually, not abruptly.

I'm not a student. I work with SDRs and in latency-critical problem domains at a telecommunications research laboratory.

I'm also not upset. I just want to know which compilers you're using which honor the "register" keyword in C.

Is it possible you're confusing LLVM with JIT compilation?

Clang targeting LLVM, despite the name, produces binaries compiled 100% ahead-of-time.

The "LLVM" is just the intermediate representation used by the compiler. GCC uses GIMPLE and RTL.

> In C... it is still possible to bake what is placed in "register" a priori

By what mechanism? Even ancient GCC circa 1989 ignored the "register" keyword/storage-class. Automatic register allocation algorithms have been the default for a long time. You have to go back to the K&R days to find a compiler willing to honor it (or find an esoteric compiler like AZTEC C for the 6502).
