Oh, grabbed the wrong link.

Why do you link that article but not this one?

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

Stories were selected by site mods (editors) and that's censorship, man!

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 Windows.

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 processed, it's still beef. You can't squeeze it out of bacteria.

Reading the Wikipedia articles it's pretty clear these are different things, even if both are added to beef in some way.

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.

Note that as these machines have not been released for general availability yet, supported and missing features are predictions based on what Apple has changed on a per-SoC and per-machine basis in the past. This page will change rapidly once work begins on support for these machines.

These machines have been available for quite a while.

Are you confusing pink slime and meat glue?

So... 0.5? Thanks. :)

Quote a different standard.

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 has no parameters.

Extremely hard working "could".

"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 "cargo check; mrustc; cc" is 100x faster experiment, but I think at best, the multiple is going to be pretty small.

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.

Is this consequential for a project the size of chromium?

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.

That sound you hear is all the old men yelling at clouds that a full screen terminal editor is not a CLI editor.

Apple CPUs have AV1 support in hardware.

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.
