It was still crap back when it was Wikia. The website itself wasn't so bad yet, but the actual content of most Wikia wikis was very poor quality (often wrong, outdated, and/or poorly sourced; lack of maintenance and amateurish wri

Whoa, it's MaskRay! Your blog has been a lifesaver for me every time I've needed to understand some obscure detail about linker behavior. Thanks a ton for all your work in this area, and thanks even more for writing about it.

The article is about depositing a check as an extension of credit; not spending via check. This creates a creditworthiness requirement that is in practice one of the most common reasons for someone to not have access to a bank account.

I think the derailment of this thread into "is Rust's memory safety good or not" is unfortunate and tedious (this debate must have happened hundreds of times by now on this site alone), but I also think it's unfair to

Not the parent, but: I strongly dislike this framing of "Fil-C is better than Rust" or "Rust is better than Fil-C". This is apples-to-oranges; users will almost never be comparison-shopping between the two because they

by NobodyNada 2mo ago
Exactly, my point is that the compiler and runtime are the "unsafe" portions of Fil-C, and that Fil-C and (safe) Rust are equivalent in this regard.

by NobodyNada 2mo ago
Machine code is unsafe, so any memory-safe language must necessarily be built on some unsafe code somewhere . Safety is always conditional on the underlying unsafe implementation having no bugs. With Fil-C, the "unsafe blocks" li

Honda's recent hybrids (CR-V, Civic, Accord) are like this too. Mostly series, but the engine can directly drive the wheels via a single overdrive gear for better cruising efficiency.

The PPU (and variants of it) was used in quite a few arcade machines, in addition to the NES. I don't know if there were any actual machines that used dual PPUs, but the functionality was likely intended for creating an arcade machine

guard is an inverted if statement, with the additional requirement that the branch must exit the parent scope. It's useful sometimes for readability, particularly for avoiding the "pyramid of doom" when you have a lot of prec

Most people without absolute pitch have some level of "pitch memory", but it's not comprehensive or reliable. For instance, if you ask people to sing a pop song, they're significantly more likely than chance to sing it i

The reason for this is to ensure stack overflows are detected. The OS places a guard page above the top of the stack, which will cause a segfault if accessed. That way stack overflows are guaranteed to crash rather than stomping on valid me
