Also, "most." Presumably most attempters were not participating in the study's surveys, so it would be impossible for the study to predict for them.

If you know absolutely nothing, though: expect usage of something used by humans to scale with the number of humans.

Only because you've redefined dislike to encompass portions of what most people would call like.

Global population is still rising. In general you should expect numbers to go up.

If you want a 16MB window, use `--long=24` (2^24 is 16M). (I believe this is larger than the default window for zstd level 3, but smaller than the default window at higher compression levels.)

(They do. The "matching" is just a fundraising gimmick; essentially a lie.)

The aside about C++ seems a little confused too? > C++ doesn’t have this problem at all, since virtual dispatch always goes through pointers and return types are always pointers too. Uh. C++ can return objects by value. Maybe it isn&#x

Europe isn't on or remotely near the equator, which is somewhat favorable for launches.

It's not obvious to me that the borrow checker actually knows, so much as it can prove there are no illegal conflicts between mut and non-mut references to the same object. If you somehow need this property in your programs, I think yo

Refresh rate does kind of matter. 1Hz imposes an average 0.5s latency on any update, which would be obnoxious in some situations.

Read to the end. It isn't really clear how much causality can be inferred from the hours after thing.

The idea that you'd get notified of infringing activity on corporate network and deliberately shift to residential without changing the activity is crazy. Like, it's hard to believe anyone is that dumb. > Meta also flags a con

Grandparent comment has zero to do with the article. It's just GP generically bitching about Meta. (Your "quote" of the comment does not appear anywhere in the actual comment.)

"Avoid generic tangents" / "Please don't complain about tangential annoyances."

Right. If we merely define "dying" to mean something other than dying, it's possible for a not-dying company to be "dying."

Are we getting a new Opus 5.1, then?

I totally believe that someone has gotten it this wrong, but personally I've never seen an SMS 2FA on a Passkey authentication. My most common Passkey complaint is that a service doesn't support them yet.

Everything's been discussed to death, including the topics OP chose to focus on. Whatever.

> Every default malloc implementation worked this way about 12 years ago. Perhaps "default" is doing the heavy lifting here. Glibc malloc was quite bad for a long time, true. But TCmalloc / jemalloc are 21-22 years old, r

"Using it with a third party high performance allocator allows you to benefit from static linking with very little performance loss" is disputed; 26% is not "very little," even if 144% is worse.

The problem is the "M." Anything beyond a single factor is unnecessarily painful. Make the single factor good (passkeys or FIDO2 or whatever) and the problem is solved without "M."

No mention of memory safe languages? Sure, it does not help existing projects, and sure, of course you can still have logic bugs (or memory bugs using escape hatches like unsafe). But they do help significantly in reducing the number of ex

The 26% number at the top of the article is from using mimalloc (which is a high performance allocator, at least as fast as the glibc allocator) + musl for some task, and the slowdown is coming from (probably) slow musl implementations of m

Smoking's harms are observable in the short term! You don't need long-term longitudinal studies to show smoking is bad. And we have known mechanisms for that harm that relate to combustion. We know mechanically that vapes are not

Vaping is distinctly less harmful than smoking.
