I wonder too what happens when all the human workers are out of the job and out of practice, and every company is dependent on a handful of dominant AI companies for their workforce. You'd think businesspeople would understand the conc

There isn't a language that achieves C's performance, access to hardware and portability while also having superior syntax. The reason C is hard is because it makes sacrifices to enable the above. A Rust (for example) compiler tar

This is interesting. I wonder who the "other allocator" was. I think this would benefit from direct comparison with jemalloc, glibc and others. It would also be interesting to observe the effects of different "page" size

The developers of each have engaged in a few flamewars and the commenter I replied to was critical of GrapheneOS using similar language, so I made a (tongue in cheek comment) implying the commenter was starting the flamewar back up

Is the CalyxOS Vs GrapheneOS shitflinging about to start up again?

The EU's proposed system uses ZK proof. You get a PGP signed message from "someone" who knows your identity (government or private agency) then store it on your phone to pass to websites that need your age. It does have an ob

Fair point that binary search causes a lot of branch mispredictions. Did you ever measure whether the unrolled linear search with 8 elements outperforms a "rolled" one? Because with instruction level parallelism I wonder how much

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I actually assumed ?: desugared to an if-else and never checked. I was a bit confused by the if-else chains you have e.g. on line 111 where it looks like you could just use the else branch for every case? Yo

How did you do it? Hopefully you generated thousands of such arrays and measured the cost of searching all of them as a single iteration? Because depending on what you use to measure time, the overhead of reading the timer would likely dwar

I'm guessing you don't really do this for users since the response for all of them should be 401 on any user that you aren't logged in as? I would argue even for IDs that don't exist, you should get the same error whethe

What does it do for you that, say, konsole, gnome-terminal or even xterm wouldn't?

Why are people using "learnings" as a word, when "lessons" already fits all its use cases? It's quite jarring.

Considering they knew these failure modes in advance, would it not have been prudent to put some sort of self-righting mechanism on the lander? Something like the mechanical arms you see in Robot Wars.

Well, almost. I use a lot of assertions to check the obvious (value out of range, null pointer, etc.) and test the happy path(s) to prove the code at least works in the cases I can anticipate. I add unit tests for complex algorithms, and to

What is your opinion of code coverage requirements now? I have been in a "phase" of seeing them as "code quality theatre". Considering that a function which takes a single 8-bit integer as an argument already has 256 uni

I think the best way to achieve this is by providing an OS API that results in the files always being created in the same place. Applications/libraries could still choose their own filenames and syntax, just the location would be OS co

At 29, I don't feel like I was "basically finished" until 25 or so, and feel significantly more mature than I was even a year ago. I'm very interested to know why you think 13 year olds are mostly finished developing.

I was talking about the posts/linked articles rather than the comments. I counted six in the first 20 posts, and the titles are mostly quite ad-like. While I was initially interested by the announcement, the size, lack of internal batt

No! Since I made a new email account with email aliases allowing me to give a unique address to every company I haven't received a single spam email (apart from advertising from said companies) in over a year. I have however been getti

I didn't have a case on my Pixel 6 for almost a year. Now it has a cracked back. And a case. This phone seems engineered to be dropped. When I had an iPhone Mini, I didn't have a case and I never dropped it because the phone is ac

A real implementation should swap bytes until the pointers are both aligned correctly. On some platforms unaligned memory accesses cause an exception, but on x86 it will work but be much slower.

If they weren't allowed to buy Arm, I wonder whether they'll be allowed to buy Arm's biggest customer.

Is that why Librem 5s cost 10x other phones with similar hardware?

Is your basis for this claim anecdotal? Do you know that the effects aren't down to avoiding the "junky" foods as opposed to the powder's themselves?

Roughly 350, all with unique passwords and mostly with unique email addresses too. They're categorised, and the only categories with more than about 20 entries are catch-alls I never look at anyway. It's pretty useful and sometime

I don't get it either. There is a visible and palpable seam on the Samsung ones, why would someone pay for that?
