For a single word response, perhaps. But for anything else I wouldn't. The entire chain will be affected from the different tokenization on down. Even if it lands in roughly the same semantic area, it doesn't mean it will land the

Of course they pull that kind of crap. Teens are often plenty smart, just generally naive to consequences. They'll do this kind of stuff even if we require spybotting the entire internet. Kids already lean on sketchy older siblings or

You're a parent. Be the bad guy if you feel it's right. Wanting the government to levy a society-wide information tracking system because you don't want your child to be upset at you is incredibly selfish.

the only difference between a thread and a process on linux is how many structures they share. the function is identical.

it's not uncommon for runtimes to use always-zero bits from aligned pointers or bits above 48 (unused in most current 64bit CPUs) to store flags today. you don't need special 'bit-addressing' to do it. byte addressing wo

that's what the y-buffer is that the article mentions in the front-to-back rendering section. it tracks how tall each columns write is so you can use it to only write the diff between it and the voxel behind it, skipping writing anythi

this wouldn't catch overflow or underflow errors, nor does it allow non-base-10 numbers, nor does it handle negative numbers. and writing your own parser is a failure case by op's logic. they are complaining about the builtin pars

and I might respect your opinions if they weren't couched in vapid complaints over the formatting of casual online intercourse. nobody with an argument of substance starts off with a complaint on the casing of someone's statement.

I would add another to the list, which is languages where every expression yields zero or more values, particularly `jq`. there are some antecedents in Icon and xquery, but these generally require explicitly opting into either production or

the answer to that is a functional social safety net for the innocent employees to land in, not allowing companies to violate the law with impunity.

no they don't. "department of war" is a "secondary title" of the DoD. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/09/rest... only congress can change the name.

Selling prisoners as underpaid slave labor means everyone else now has to compete against companies using that slave labor. It's essentially cutting us twice. We both pay to house and feed the employees/contractors of the company
