> I think you missed the point: io_uring is the newer API.

GP was pointing out that io_uring came after RIO; RIO has similar capabilities to io_uring for the network space. GP did not "miss the point".

> Microsoft understand quite well that they have pervasive issues with IO performance

This has nothing to do with IOCP but rather the file system filters. This is why removal of file system filters from "DevDrive" (a ReFS volume) improves performance vs a ReFS volume with file system filters in place.

> If what Windows has had all along is so great, why did they bother cloning io_uring when io_uring came along?

IoRing eliminates the need to copy buffers between kernel and user space [0][1].

With regards to performance, this is a bench between a traditional multithreaded UDP server and an RIO IOCP UDP server. The gains are significant. [2] And further comparisons... [3]

> seldom bother to assess whether the decades-old async API actually offers good performance in comparison to more recent alternatives

There are no complete alternatives [r]. Nor is Linux fully asynchronous throughout the kernel.

> introducing DirectStorage

Not really relevant to the context. DirectStorage is a method to deliver data from nVME storage with minimal CPU overhead and/or compressed [4]. Such a system would improve performance on any OS and indeed, we can see that on PS OS (PS5, FreeBSD-based (probably)). Again, limited in scope.

I'm honestly not sure what you're attempting to argue. IoRing brings improvements, yes, but isn't a replacement of IOCP. We should see improvements in any mainstream kernel as a good thing. It's progress. And hopefully the Linux kernel gets to full async I/O at some point in the future.

Do you run this 24/7?

What is your cost of electricity per kilowatt hour and what is the cost of this setup per month?

Yes, it is nearly a 1:1 copy of io_uring, but unlike io_uring which applies to a single function, all I/O in the NT kernel is asynchronous. IOCP acts on file, network, mail slot, pipes, etc.

IoRing/io_uring is for files only. RegisteredIO is network only.

While Windows userland itself may be a 'mess' and archaic in it's own way (among the other anti-consumer bits), the NT kernel is technically quite advanced, not only for it's time, but at the present time.

David Cutler's team got the kernel architecture correct the first time. Linux still has a ways to catch up in certain aspects.

Linux and Windows are limited by the commit limit when it comes to threads. Linux has a default thread stack size of 8Mb vs. NT of 1Mb, in theory meaning Linux will run out of allocation space much quicker.

But in the end, both are limited by available memory.

kqueue, like all non-io_uring implementations on Linux, are synchronous under the hood.

We do live in the universe of high performance threads with asynchronous I/O.

Depends on where you live in King County and on the property. In Seattle, certain property owners must inform the City 90 days prior to sale (“Intent to Sell” city ordinance).

These laws are hyperlocal and making a sweeping statement about the County, State, or the US will ultimately be providing incorrect information.

Yes, you're correct. This product is worthless in terms of CO2 capture.

Your local university should have a horticulture department with a list. A nursery not attached to a grocery or hardware store will likely have a list as well. Usually they will label the origin of each plant.

I did the same. Ripped up my grass lawn and replaced with lavender, clover, roses, etc.

Not only does it look better, but it’s less maintenance. I had a variety of bees, butterflies, and Anna’s Hummingbirds visit this year. It was a treat to watch!

Crackpot and FCC violation device.

Why would SMB care about open source in the solution they choose? SMBs are the least likely to self-host given the costs of hosting. They will go for SaaS (or otherwise MSP-managed services, which often resell SaaS) where possible.

Tires are a source of microplastics, as well.

I think depression can lead to apathy, anhedonia, even nihilism but having that as an origin point for depression seems quite out of place.

The last sentence of your main paragraph is the reason for my username. It’s certainly not the origin point for that feeling, however.

It isn’t fun to realize that everything you touch within your own lifetime is temporary. Work is largely meaningless. Abusive partners, officials getting away with clear (attempted) murder because they can hide behind a piece of paper, and so on.

Sure life is “unfair”, but it is unfair for the vast majority due to it being stacked for the vanishingly tiny minority. And the majority is powerless to stop the abuses.

Why bother?

Why do you believe life-long pain and suffering limited to physical ailments?

Not all depression can be cured or even easily managed. Not all mental illnesses consist of depression.

Make one or search for one. You’ll get results in 30 seconds instead of 8 minutes.

> The problem is that “mentally sound” is partially defined as not wanting to die.

Unless, of course, you have an illness that happens to be something other than mental illness.

Because pain and suffering can only come from physical ailments /s

Make assisted suicide for mental illness legal. There are plenty of treatment resistant or life-long illnesses that should qualify.

For it's advanced age, this is a significantly better simulation in terms of accuracy and AI than DCS for the F-16. Falcon/BMS' dynamic campaign is also a lot of fun, something which DCS completely lacks. DCS has the graphical eye candy, though.

I told a prosecutor during voir dire that I wouldn’t follow a judge’s instruction if it was a case involving drugs (I think it was a shoplifting case, so not relevant to the particular case). That was enough to be excused by the prosecutor.

Nullification in not so many words.

> Isn't it better to have an expert who is a mediocre teacher than an excellent teacher with only a mediocre command of the subject matter?

Suppose we suppose to suppose.

An expert visiting a classroom with a competent teacher would be the best thing -- the teacher can provide direction and control over the class as well as assist with prep.

A Boeing machinist specializing in door plugs might make for a dry presentation. But a Boeing machinist specializing in door plugs who has the help of a good physics/engineering class teacher to lay out a lesson plan would probably be pretty fun.

Those that can't do...

Teaching is a skill. An expert typist typing "the fox jumps over the lazy dog" at 30 wpm doesn't make one a good teacher.

You'll learn pedantry gets tiring when you get older. How traceroute is understood and displayed to the end user constitutes a route. If you have an issue with how the developers of traceroute framed it, that's on you.

In English, route is synonymous with 'path'.

Feel free to submit a PR if you disagree:

https://man.openbsd.org/traceroute

This is a significantly better technical presentation on how traceroute works[0]; for example, unlike the illustrations in the linked article, traceroute does not necessarily take a symmetrical return path; the return path is hidden from the client -- the client only sees the forward path.
