Rooftops in Switzerland are covered with snow for many months each year. Yet this article doesn't even mention the word "snow".

Format it as code (indent with at least 4 spaces). Problem solved.

"helpful"?

One can imagine modifying the compiler to output llvm bitcode. You now can throw plenty of optimisation at it for free (but you are now slower to compile).

If you look at the FAQ, you'll see they can do exactly that but using gcc/Clang, not LLVM.

Yet I've skimmed the entire site and nowhere do I see mentioned how to use C libraries in V.

I don't have to convert C to V and then compile the entire V program, do I?

I can't help but wonder why Volt on Mac is 300kB and on Windows it's 2.1MB.

I am not going to read that, because of the huge number of ads on that page.

Really? There's no "[-]" in front of the user name?

You'll never see JPEG-XS images stored on disk or sent over the web.

I don't see why not. The image quality is near perfect, according to the article, for not even double the average file size, and it uses much less energy to encode and decode, so it's better for your battery life on mobile devices.

It's slow as mail. I tried an URL several minutes ago and it still hasn't come back.

But Google News says "This RSS feed is deprecated"...?

Great, something really important like the old blink tag. /s

Only people programming ads will like this. Everybody else will pretty much hate its guts.

I'm OK with this, under the condition that Facebook only uses it to alert you of photos you likely appear in, i.e. those two first examples of what it can do.

I would not allow them to show those results to other people.

Still, you should add it yourself, and not some overzealous system.

Somebody's birthday is interesting info to keep.

That doesn't mean you should get a notification when it comes up.

Second link is dead. So is the fourth.

It's insane. I can't even access the web interface of my own printer any more, because it's not https.

Intel, AMD and Apple face class action lawsuits over the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities.

I sure hope Intel will face a class action suit over this botched update. Many professionals have wasted countless hours dealing with this junk.

It probably is a learning system... It got trained more. The review itself doesn't have to change. The system merely adjusted its parameters due to more exposure to new reviews.

I think people share Facebook pages because they found the content on Facebook. Speed has nothing to do with it.

Use `cal -m` if you want a week to start on a Monday. AFAIK Sunday is the (US centric) default.

OK maybe I'm missing something, but what is new about this patent? The schematic "how does it work" figure 6 is nothing but a napkin design. Anybody with half a braincell can make that up within 5 minutes after being introduced to the perceived problem. In other words: the subject of the patent looks to be very obvious, to me.

OTOH This might discourage other companies from implementing a similar idea, which is something at some users will appreciate.

People who have studied electrical engineering may recognize the word "dual" with the prototypical example in electrical networks: Norton vs. Thevenin. Both are equivalent but from coming from opposite ends. A current source in parallel with a resistor (Norton) is electrically equivalent to a voltage source in series with a resistor (Thevenin).

(See, for example: https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/direct-current/chp...)

Jigsaw does not provide a clean upgrade path for Maven-based projects to move from the packaging of code into JAR files to modules.

No upgrade path from JAR files, the most common packaging system for Java?!? That sounds like a good enough reason for me to dislike it.

I see the same thing except with no crashes.

Anyway: this looks like a failed experiment to me.

Next!

I love Javascript.

But 160MB for a chat app? That's insane.

Traffic accidents happen. According to your reasoning, we should forbid people from owning and driving a car.

Let's say someone does modify the code.

Let's not. These farmers don't want to change the software. They only want to fix their hardware.

And because of the close tightness with the software, they can't.

Using Drupal, MySQL (or MariaDB) simply works much smoother than PostGres. That is because apparently Drupal has been designed around MySQL. You may be quite sure that if you are having a problem with Drupal on PostGres, that the same problem doesn't exist when using MySQL.

In 2011, we started out using Drupal with PostGres. After a year or two, we migrated to MySQL.

I think it's likely that the situation is quite similar with WordPress.

It's very important in the storage of hashed passwords, but not in checking the integrity of files, which is the use case here.
