So it's your own anecdotal experience, but someone should build a service to track it?

I don't think that's completely true. When times are good, intelligence and education probably come out in the wash. But when times are bad, and people are losing their livelihoods, intelligence has a lot to do with how blame is a

> And given that almost all C programmers are also C++ programmers, no mere syntax can faze us :-) This is... not true at all.

It was that lightweight because it provided basically none of the functionality that is essential to a modern OS. Because it wasn't a modern OS. The surface area of stuff that an OS has to do today is absolutely massive, and the depend

Yeah that's why step 0 is to tell the LLM to write a test suite for the thing you want to rewrite. It'll do that, but it does require adult supervision. Once you have that test suite, you can send the LLM into an inner dev loop. L

by EPWN3D 11d ago
Yes like any tool, LLMs can be used poorly. But they do enable large-scale rewrites or poor-quality code because they are capable of understanding it and enumerating its behaviors in a matter of minutes or hours. It's the kind of under

That is true presuming that the author does not intend to keep this fasting regime up after they reach their goal weight. There are certainly people who do long fasts on a regular basis.

300k is a huge amount of money if you have no dependents. Otherwise it's comfortably middle class, but that's it.

by EPWN3D 18d ago
Yeah this sounds a lot like a natural evolution of SIMD for me, just cut out the middleman and put the SIMD units straight into RAM. I can imagine some power savings for always-on display applications too. Rather than periodically waking th

I'd be surprised if there wasn't a similar dynamic for men. While men probably have a wider range of "acceptable" physical flaws as compared to women, that doesn't mean there isn't a range. A morbidly obese m

Their FAQ says you must use the web interface to edit your rules. But this is worth a shot.

Love them, but I wish they had a way to upload new sieve rules via an API. I'm probably going to try them with my own domain at some point since I think they have an option to just deliver all mail bound for that domain, which makes se

It's kind of how stupid people think the law works. "The cop misspelled my last name on the ticket your honor, so I don't have to pay it, checkmate!"

I'm sorry, but this is horseshit. Snow Leopard is beloved by the Mac user base for a reason. It was legitimately faster and more stable than any prior release.

It really was a bit weird, games that got ported to Mac almost always had higher-quality graphics. The X-Wing port looked incredible compared to the PC version, and so did TIE Fighter. For whatever reason, the default viewport on Mac OS was

You jerks always got the best games lol. But I always lorded over my PC friends that they didn't know what they were missing with Marathon.

Yeah it was seriously like mining for gold back then. I remember being at a Best Buy and just happening to stumble upon Duke Nukem 3D for Mac OS a week or so before its official release. Snatched that bad boy right up. I think I'd move

by EPWN3D 2mo ago
It was either that or someone made a last-minute decision to pull support, and they just forgot to stop building that slice. In fact, I'd be willing to believe they did some initial bring up work on 68k since X-Wing ran on 68k. Either

There are limits to the lies they can tell, IIRC. They are limited to lies which would not harm an innocent person. So if an officer says "We have your fingerprints on the murder weapon", that is fine, because an innocent person w

I remember when TIE Fighter finally came out for the Mac, I just begged my parents to order it from Mac Warehouse or whichever catalogue it was in. I didn't read the system requirements, which said it needed a PowerPC. I was still rock

I don't think I've ever had a problem with this. The big problem I've had with cut/copy/paste has been with Windows and software inspired by it, which is that copying without selecting any text blows away the clipbo

Yeah I have a similar list. Mine also includes "journey". As soon as a word gets adopted by MBAs to abstract away the real world, it gets added to my list. They're words that project the idea of a smart person but only to stu

Sure, I guess. But I think people reading this thread are drawing a line between "Copying the publicly-visible IP" and "Inducing employees to walk out with trade secrets in hand." No one at Samsung was facing prison time

I was thinking a classical linker that e.g. combined sections together after already laying out subsequent sections. That would basically be an memmove. It doesn't necessarily have to be unsafe, but I could see it being implemented tha
