A small number of companies control the meat supply in the United States. If you decide that you don't want to buy that $50 hot dog, you likely won't have many comparable options.

I've noticed a lot of astroturfing lately. It really bothers me, because it was kind of my last bastion of sanity for online tech discourse. Every forum I've used is now full of marketing and dishonesty by bots, paid shills, and b

They said IE was the best browser, not the most popular. I wouldn't dispute that IE was more commonly used at the time. Just checked your link and this fits with what I thought in terms of marketshare. You can see that Firefox was ~25%

I agree with you on everything except the browser. I'm pretty sure I was using Firefox (or maybe Opera?) on Windows before the release of Vista. I know I was still using IE for some ActiveX web apps for a while. This was the era that I

I hate to wade into this cesspool. How about some of the real obvious ones: * Crypto currency rug pulls (World Liberty Financial) * Donations linked with pardons (Binance) * Pardoning failed rebels of a coup that favored him (Capito

This isn't my area, but wouldn't this still be quite effective if it automatically grouped and batched those jobs for you? At low throughput levels, it doesn't need giant batches, and could just timeout after a very short tim

My knowledge is outdated, as I last seriously looked at it about nine years ago, but I doubt Binder is even better than dbus; it was not good. I'm quite surprised with people suggesting it. There was that recent kernel Binder bug even

I used to work for a general contractor who did residential remodels and construction, and a little bit of commercial work. He exclusively used cargo vans. He would carpet the interior to protect the cargo and your knees. It made me questio

Do we even think that was real? I think social media has been astroturfed for a long time now. If enough people make those claims, it starts to feel true even without evidence to support it. Did they ever open source anything that really ma

I think you missed an important point in the parent comment. You can override the allocation for C++ coroutines. You do have control over details like allocation. C++ coroutines are so lightweight and customizable (for good and ill), that i

My suspicion is the same as yours, that this may have been caused by local ISPs being overwhelmed, but it could be a million other things too. I had network issues. I live in a heavily populated suburban area. I have family who live 1000+ m

This is how it was for me growing up blue collar in the northeastern USA in the 80s. My father fixed everything in the house and the vehicles. I inherited my older siblings clothes, and my younger siblings inherited mine. My mother would he

It would be absolutely devastating to me too. I only do my gaming on Linux, and my large game catalog is through Steam. Which means that even if they can't really shutdown Proton because it's open source, it still might amount t

I guess it depends on what level you're generating the events at. On Linux, it would be completely reasonable to inject the input events at the input device level. https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/i

This is really interesting for me to read. I encountered a DMA lockup in the hardware by an Ethernet MAC implementation on an ARM chip. It was a Synopsys Designware MAC implementation. It would specifically lockup when PTP was enabled. From

Wow. It feels like that "Got it!" dialog box has to violate privacy laws at least somewhere in the world.

Has anyone here has used FreeNX? I had read good things about its performance over the network (and even cell networks), but I've never encountered anyone who's actually used it. I guess I'm going to have to be the person to

For those purposes, I run Windows in a VM? In my case, the only reason I even need to run it at all, is that my employer has some software that requires it.

To me, this shows radical leadership, and that he is very unattached to societal norms. Radical leadership meaning that this is kind of the antithesis of a follower mentality. I think it's a kind of genius, but also a personal failing.

Am I sure about what? If it is auto-vectorizing? Yes. If the performance difference at O2 for both compilers is that dramatic? Yes. If the vectorization is the ultimate difference in the performance? No, not really. I looked at the disassem

They also work great as low-powered servers for open source services. I have a pi on my network that only uses a few watts of power, but it acts as a DNS proxy, voice chat server, media server, web server, and it holds my git repos.

I suppose that might be true of a lot of the western world. The good thing about regular blood tests is that, in theory, you can catch things early before you have symptoms and they become serious problems. Every blood test I've had,
