Bypassing the Branch Predictor

The user is trying to optimize a financial system's 'send' path by reducing branch misprediction penalties, but the branch predictor is heavily primed to predict the 'abandon' path due to its high frequency. A potential solution is to fill the system with mocked transaction data that returns true for the 'send' path, allowing the branch predictor to assume the 'send' path will be executed.

When did people favor composition over inheritance?

https://s3.amazonaws.com/titlepages.leanpub.com/appropriatebehaviour/bookpage?1369065130
The phrase "favor composition over inheritance" originated from the Design Patterns book by the Gang of Four, contrasting inheritance as a "white box" form of reuse with composition as a "black box" form of reuse. However, this principle has limitations and alternatives, such as the grouping approach and using procedures as first-class types.

The inconceivable types of Rust: How to make self-borrows safe (2024)

https://blog.polybdenum.com/img/20240606_padme_rust.jpg
Rust's borrow checker prevents self-borrows, but this limitation can be overcome by adopting a more ambitious goal of safe async functions, which requires naming the types of local variables. To achieve this, Rust needs to add named lifetimes, inconceivable types for partial borrows and moves, and a new type for bound lifetime references, allowing for safe and zero-cost self-borrows.
