Thank you to the following for their feedback on drafts of this material: Howard Hinnant (lead designer and author of move semantics), Jens Maurer, Arthur O’Dwyer, Geoffrey Romer, Bjarne Stroustrup, Andrew Sutton, Ville Voutilainen, Jonathan Wakely. This post is an attempt to shed light on that situation. or changes it to a known state?

Large projects like browser engines also exercise governance through a hierarchy of "OWNER bits," which explicitly name engineers empowered to permit changes in a section of the codebase. Developers can provide feedback from using features and lobby other browsers to adopt (or re-design) them.

In some cases, if only a very few, these assets continue to be used because they still work very well, were thoughtfully designed, and have been well cared for over the years. The exercise of assessing, modeling and dispositioning the landscape does offer valuable new ways of looking at legacy assets.

"Appiness" is an illusion, an arbitrary line drawn to include programs built on some platforms but not others, and all of today's OSes allow multiple platforms to expose "real apps." Safety is within our budget, assuming platforms don't make exotic and dangerous APIs available all programs — more on that in a second.

This abstraction allows the compute team to influence the reliability, efficiency, and operability of the fleet via the scheduler. We do this for reliability, scalability, and efficiency reasons. This, in turn, allows processes to exercise certain privileges without having any privileges in the init user namespace.

In effect, the engineer designs and builds the world wherein the software operates. There is a decades-long tradition of data-centric programming : developers who have been using data-centric IDEs, such as RStudio, Matlab, Jupyter Notebooks, or even Excel to model complex real-world phenomena, should find this paradigm familiar.

There was no deep goal — just a desire to see the maximum GFLOPS in action. The exercise seemed simple enough — just fix one item in the Colfax code and we should be finished. After this, the micro-ops will wait in the Reorder Buffer until they can be retired in program order. Instead, we found puzzle after puzzle.

We believe that making these GPU resources available for everyone to use at low cost will drive new innovation in the application of highly parallel programming models. These trade-offs have even impacted the way the lowest level building blocks in our computer architectures have been designed. General Purpose GPU programming.

That "Agile pilot" was a deliberate investment in the formation of behaviors designed to yield local (that is, team-level) optimization. Sustained, intense concentration on collaboration among consumers, designers, builders, testers and managers resulted in more experiments, more builds, more deployments, and more frequent feedback.
