This editorial (gift link) from Josh Marshall at TPM gets at the heart of the Congressional leadership fight. The problem is much less the leaders than the filibuster. Nothing is going to happen in Congress as long as the filibuster remains intact, and a do-nothing Congress feeds the President's power. If Chuck Schumer is a problem, it's mostly because he's unwilling to ditch the filibuster, not because he's otherwise incapable of leading the Senate.
I must admit that I don't read that post in the way that you do!
@neil @NatalyaD i had the framing of his toot, i suppose. perhaps it was just poorly worded.
> Every time I write a piece about how men systemically abuse women, my DMs explode with “Not All Men” complaints. But now, a new study demonstrates that empirically, statistically, & factually, it literally is all men. The data is horrifying.
given his framing using the Brand case, the word "abuse" has a fairly specific meaning, i think? perhaps it's just me.
Seriously it doesn't take a lot of self control to STFU at a war memorial on remembrance day. This young man carried out his duty with a very high degree of professionalism and he should be commended for it. https://youtube.com/shorts/qC2JREiJ1is?si=Qyb-eYHzW1uDD-aD

I should have released pleroma as shareware
I'm on Macintosh, or Win32.
I say:
void *x = malloc(1024*1024*4);
Or perhaps I say:
void *x = malloc(1024*1024*1024);
That's ordinary malloc. Just pointed clang or MSVC at a .c file and said go.
Do you expect that these calls allocate from heap, or do you expect they allocate from virtual memory?
Do you expect the answer to differ between Macintosh and Windows? Differ between Windows 7 and Windows 11? Differ between the first and second code snippet?
@mcc Just to counter some of the bad answers you're getting: malloc and VM allocation *are* very different, because an allocation large enough to cross the threshold to directly using mmap (or platform equivalent) may have a virtual address chosen to use TLBs more efficiently (e.g large pages). It might not even participate in the usual heap structs, and instead the address range or top bits to flag that it's a mapping. It will also very likely return a large-page-aligned address.
@ai6yr So sorry 😢
My husband has been dealing with similar wait times for the past few years while dealing with GI problems.
(Note to anyone reading this: I'm not asking for advice, lots of details I'm not willing to share)
@mcc@mastodon.social traditionally sbrk/brk space grows up from the end of your app's bss into the stack. when dynamic libraries came around, that space wasn't generally one big hole any more. this dates back from an era where virtual memory & paging didn't exist.
sbrk/brk still exist but modern allocators typically just use mmap as the more general api. if they are using sbrk (for historical reasons, mainly), then they treat sbrk and mmap as interchangable.
sbrk is a bad api because it doesn't provide a way to give holes back to the kernel
@mcc windows doesn’t have a brk/sbrk equivalent. every memory allocation has eventually gone through VritualAlloc ever since Win32 (Win16 is very different)
The day’s second cuppa seemed a bit off. I checked the tag and what the hell, I didn’t even know we had decaf black tea in the house.
Am torn between “don’t waste it” and “just brew another, dammit”.
@cwebber Well, it's going legitimately, non-sarcastically wonderfully if you like fun;
and it's going horrifically, terrifyingly badly if you love God and care for His natural order
@mcc oh good, between the two of those I like fun
turns out mixxx will autokeychange the song into a harmonic key so all i really have to care about is just BPM and setting the intros and outros, this shit so nice

Sorry, the app encountered an unexpected error
