„Drei Jahre lang - von 2022 bis 2025 - hatten die Forscher das etwa 3.500 Quadratkilometer große Einzugsgebiet der Unteren Spree zwischen Spreewald und Berlin untersucht.
Laut dem Bericht zählt die Region zu den wasserärmsten Gebieten Deutschlands. Die Grundwasserstände seien lokal seit dem Jahr 2000 um bis zu drei Meter gesunken.“

NFL preseason Week 2 takeaways; coaches predict college basketball's best teams

3 years ago, I replaced the bottom bracket bearing for the bike I use at Burning Man after it self-destructed from rust in 2022. I bought one that claims to be waterproof, but prepping this year, I noticed the pedals weren't moving nicely, so took it apart and the new bearing is rusted.
Maybe it is waterproof? Definitely not dust proof. Most of what was in there was the lithium grease now turned into paste with playa dust.
So this time, I'm trying enclosed bearings. Maybe…

VBR: version based reclamation.

VBR: Version Based Reclamation
Safe lock-free memory reclamation is a difficult problem. Existing solutions follow three basic methods (or their combinations): epoch based reclamation, hazard pointers, and optimistic reclamation. Epoch-based methods are fast, but do not guarantee lock-freedom. Hazard pointer solutions are lock-free but typically do not provide high performance. Optimistic methods are lock-free and fast, but previous optimistic methods did not go all the way. While reads were executed optimistically, writes w…
