Almost all laptops these days come with SSDs and last I checked, OpenBSD doesn't support TRIM. Has this been fixed? Is lack of TRIM a non-issue?

I've made small code contributions to Firefox and Servo, both Mozilla projects, and I have nothing but good things to say about everyone involved with the two projects. As a newcomer to both, the respective teams were very welcoming, helpful, and most of all, patient especially during the review process.

I'm wondering the same thing. In the announcement, they say "two more than MBP" so I'm hoping it's a quadcore

The comparison bewteen the total LOC across all of Google's products against just one of Microsoft's is a bit unfair.

It's been discussed before, but that's not really quicksort though (since it's not in-place)[0]

The Berkeley AI class on edX[0] covers this, and other related algorithms, like alpha-beta pruning. It's a very fun class; recommended for anyone interested in this sort of thing

Isn't the first example undefined behavior? I always thought you shouldn't assign data to a union using one member, then access the data using a different member.

Yep, that's what Disruptor is for. Here's a blog post by one of the devs giving more details about the ring buffer where she specifically mentions that objects are pooled to avoid the GC http://mechanitis.blogspot.com/2011/06/dissecting-disruptor-...

IIRC, LMAX Disruptor[0] uses the same concept with its ring buffer to avoid GC-related slowdown.

Very cool! I've been working on the microcorruption CTF myself, and it inspired me to work on a MSP430 emulator. From the newsletter that the folks at Starfighter sent out a few weeks ago, emulating the AVR is tricker so kudos to you.

I've had the opportunity to sleep in a lot lately, and I've found that I feel physically and mentally the most rejuvenated around the 9 hour mark. Shorter than that and my thinking is on the sluggish side, and longer and I feel tired and unmotivated. Personally, I've found the time that I wake up to also be a factor. Waking up at 7 or 8 in the morning after 9 hours of sleep has me in a better mood than at 10 or 11 with the same amount of sleep.

Just out of curiosity, how much of TAOCP have you worked through in terms of exercises? I'm currently working through Concrete Mathematics and while it's a very good book, I'm also finding it very challenging, so I'm a little hesitant to even think about working through TAOCP...

I'm looking for a challenging work place, preferably where I can work in small teams where I feel like I can make a big impact. I've mostly done backend development work, but I'm also willing to transition to more full stack development.
