Just tested, it works very well. Excellent! Thank you for the tip.
I didn't say it was "bad". I say it is good. What I am saying is: not to do it through a dynamic a…

Understood. It makes sense, I guess, since you might want to init only particular values, and don'…
So I want to investigate all of this a bit more. Could you please share your brief experiment wit…
Casey fixes this in a later episode. The latest code uses handmade_%random%.pdb
Sure. The OSAtomics gives you thread safety for operations like add or increment by ensuring sequ…

Yes, I believe that Windows has never supported big-endian CPUs, but I could be wrong about that. …
It's the last one - Windows probably doesn't support big endian CPU anymore (because it doesn't ne…

Flyingsand, thanks a lot. Could you please elaborate about using OSAtomic and when I need to use i…
@Flyingsand, so I've just tried a CPU-melting way for the first time for some reason =) And I am g…
