Anyone know what the current benchmark is for C++ Software Transactional Memory? All I can find is STAMP from 08 and dead links to STMBench7

@bcantrill @metromoxie I always wonder who thought it was a good idea to designate the root directory with the path separator symbol.

Sometimes I see something awful on Facebook and think "I should tag this as interesting and important." But I can't bring myself to Like it.

Ever wondered why you have to manipulate your UI from a special thread? This classic blog post explains why: http://t.co/oXrkYIY76p

Oh man, some great legal snark in the trial of the Dread Pirate Roberts. Check out page 25 of this PDF: http://t.co/0CLQsm9Bge (1/2)

@WFalkenborg Constantly casually shockingly different. It's hard to describe how natural it feels, until you realize it's all so strange.

.@frgx That comment's a too-static view. @Coverity should (and does) improve the analysis, but each new commit is a new potential bug.

@DevinMcCutchen whoa, crazy. I also wonder how many ballots end up in the book return at Gresham Library.

[Mark Winterrowd @MarkWinterrowd]

@DevinMcCutchen ok, voting the day of the election is fine. Researching how to vote the day of the election, as is my wont, is not so good

@pcwalton Rust lexically associating locks with guarded data is such a simple, good idea. So many bug patterns avoided.

.@cmtribull is this based on a real-life experience? :)

[Mark Winterrowd @MarkWinterrowd]

Each year I say "I'm going to mail my ballot in early this time." A month later, I hastily fill it out and drop it off Nov 4

[Mark Winterrowd @MarkWinterrowd]

.@_achou , it was an honor working with you for the past four years. Sad to see you go, good luck in the future!
