I've switched to DDG and I've hardly looked back. Google's search has been seriously declined in quality. Most search operators [1] are no longer supported. Even those directly in the "tools" menu don't work. F

RHEL is free (use CentOS or Fedora) Support is not free. If you want software updates, security patches, bug fixes, or somebody to call when shit hits the fan you pay Red Hat. If not CentOS/Fedora use the same source codes

Not necessarily true. C89 only requires that static values be initialized. A modern C standard (section: 6.7.8(10)) requires static values be initialized, but what the value is initialized too be _technically_ indeterminate. There is the gu

The only reason I'd seriously consider upgrading is if they fixed the typing speed. The input latency on iPhone has just _horrible_, and I know after another iOS update it'll be just as bad. I taught myself to touch type at about

10 years ago there was less file system integration, user land virus scanning, kernel level virus scanning, os-hooks, OS-compatibility re-direction, and 32/64bit compatibility checks. This was mostly added during NT6.0 era, which occur

I'd really like to thank Cyan for their contributions. `zstd` and `lz4` are great. I'm pretty much exclusively using `zstd` for my tarball needs in the present day as it beats the pants off `gzip` and for plane text code (most of

`cargo new $project_name` literally generates a hello world program so it is misleading to say you need to understand ownership to write `hello world`. That being said ownership is rather hard, but liberal usage of `.clone()` can get you pr

I think if more people took the time to understand them and practice writing them (when appropriate), they wouldn't have such a stigma. I think this is part of the movement to a more "ide/web centric" d

I built a similar model over the weekend: https://twitter.com/valarauca1/status/1061362369702445056 Used an existing box fan. I had to buy duct tape ($3) and the filter I used one rated for 0.1micron pollen and vi

If you are interested in learning more the general name for this drug (outside of the US) is ARX-04. The maker has some data that compares it to Fentanyl [1]. Their numbering states that is closer to 100x, and crosses the blood brain barrie

So the node scaling was standardized (before ~28nm). It very literally meant MOSfet density (as 28 nm was 1 MOSfet + gap for the next MOSfet). The IEEE had a road map about what to expect out of X sized components, and when those component

Binning. So you do all the lithography, and vapor deposits on a wafer. That wafer has ~100 physical processors on it (100 just to make rounding easier). You split them (into individual chips), and you start testing. Say on ~10 Hyper Threadi

The commetization of the CPU market was bound to happen eventually. As modern production techniques for chips and FPGA programming start to converge rapidly. What is the ETA until we get a GNX "GNX is Not X86"? An Open source i386
