Why do you link that article but not this one? https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/11/ars-benchmarks-show-s...

It's not like the State Department would ever mention Kim Jong the Second in documents.

Why not? The Wayback Machine predates the National Emergency Library by many years, suggesting it is possible for one to exist without the other.

Why not? This wasn't found by source review. The computer was slow, somebody looked into why. The bug was discovered via analysis of binary artifacts, and only then traced back to the source. Bruce Dawson does this all the time on Wind

That article is very confused. They're saying that transglutaminase, street name meat glue, extracted from bacteria is literally the same thing as pink slime. Lean finely textured beef, street name pink slime, comes from cows. However

Do you have a source for transglutiminase used to put the pink slime back together? This is the first I'm hearing it. I thought they just stirred it into the ground beef.

Are you confusing pink slime and meat glue?

This is incorrect. In a function definition, an empty list means it takes no parameters. 6.7.5.3 Function declarators > 14. An empty list in a function declarator that is part of a definition of that function specifies that the function

"People" could really use a number attached to it.

I'll take the contrary position and argue that most ints are floats, because ints are not uniformly distributed. 0, 1, 10, etc. are far more common.

Can you elaborate on what's wrong with this post?

I just ran cargo check on nushell, and it took a minute and a half. I didn't time how long it took to compile, maybe five minutes earlier today? So I would call it faster, but still not fast. I was all excited to conduct the "carg

You can copy from a zero sized pointer with memcpy, but not NULL.

I ran a qotd server for a while, only retired two months ago actually. It wasn't very popular.

Shared memory, like shm_open and fd passing, would be even faster and fully portable.

This seems likely to create some inexplicable performance elbows where you have 1000 strings, but there's one code path that replaces one with a number, and now the whole array needs to be copied. Tracking that down won't be fun.

The funny bit is the other six control codes are mapped ctrl-2 to nul, and ctrl-3 forward to the five remaining.

A solid 40% of George's questions were deemed great. (Not counting some fluff like what's your job.)

Is it your assessment or the LLM's that it's a good library? There have been many times I looked at the API for a library, said this is bonkers, and bailed. The weird contortions needed to use something should be a signal.

Not supporting pipelining is a somewhat effective low effort spam filter. Spammers don't have time to wait for response codes, just blast the message and move on to the next sucker.

That said, I appreciate thumbnails while scrubbing, and critically need playback speed multipliers. And key controls to skip ten or twenty seconds. Plenty of room for browsers to improve.
