I'm building webkit-gtk right now. It's one of these messy packages where a few source files need a lot of memory to compile, and ninja can randomly order jobs so that all of them suddenly start compiling simultaneously. So to keep things going smoothly without OOM-ing, I've been dynamically adjusting the available job count via steve the #jobserver.
While doing that, I've noticed that ninja isn't taking new jobs immediately after I increased the job count. So I've started debugging steve, and couldn't find out anything wrong with it. Finally, I've looked into ninja and realized how lazy their code is.
So, there are two main approaches to acquiring job tokens. Either you do blocking reads, and therefore wait for a token to become available, or you use polling to get noticed when it becomes available. Ninja instead does non-blocking reads, and if there are no more tokens available… it waits till one of its own jobs finish.
This roughly means that as other processes release tokens, ninja won't take them until one of its own jobs finish. And if ninja didn't manage to acquire any job tokens to begin with, it is just running a single process via implicit slot, and that process finishing provides it with the only chance to acquire additional tokens. So realistically speaking, as long as there are other build jobs running in parallel, ninja is going to need to be incredibly lucky to ever get a job token, since all other processes will grab the available tokens immediately.
This isn't something that steve can fix.

Chargers' Justin Herbert continues 'to think about' playoff flop vs. Texans with rematch on tap Saturday
The Chargers flopped in a 2024 Wild Card loss to the Texans, in which Herbert threw a career-high four interceptions in the 32-12 defeat. The Pro Bowl QB isn’t running from the recollection.

On yesterday's Teaching, Learning, and Everything Else podcast, I talked about AI's impact on the environment and classrooms—and argued that it isn’t reinventing education so much as exposing bad habits we should’ve let go years ago link…

Quote: "Instead of thinking of AI transforming pedagogy, I think of AI pointing out problems that were already there. We know there's better ways to teach. We know that project-oriented, individualized learning is better than regurgitation. We know that no one outside of academia writes five paragraph essays anymore. Writing has become discursive and dialogic, and it's dispersed through all these different social media and work contexts. There's lots of reasons to validate writing as a form of …

The impact of AI on education may ultimately have less to do with AI itself and more with the habits it forces us to shed, both in classrooms and in our digital lives. This week I talked with Lew Ludwig’s Denison University students about generative AI's environmental footprint and was a featured guest on Bart Everson's Teaching, Learning, and Everything Else podcast at Xavier University. Bart and I dug into the “IMPACT RISK” framework, in which every letter of the acronym represents a d…

Leftist Berlin café #KFetisch kicked out a guest for wearing a t-shirt with Hebrew text on it & accused them of using “the genocidal language of the oppressor” & being a “#Zionist”.
They later claimed the reason for refusal of service had been the specific word written in

„Mal nachgedacht, wie es sich für Juden in Neukölln anfühlt?“: Hebräisches Wort auf T-Shirt – Linkes Café wirft Paar raus
Mit dem „Falafel Humanity Shirt“ wird Geld gesammelt für die Friedensinitiative „Women Wage Peace“ in Israel. Doch im „K-Fetisch“ in Berlin-Neukölln tritt darüber Antisemitismus zutage.
