I really find it gross the extent to which fear mongering over nuclear happens. Countries decommissioning nuclear plants to switch to coal, which kill far more people, even scaling by use. Instead of using a source of power that's over

The only thing here where I think "wow, that's a lot" is the whole `module` thing (and even that, I'm sure I could love, it's just alien to me for now, and I doubt it'll gain much traction for quite a while). E

If any companies are looking for a more budget option, I offer my services for only half of what Tom Scott demands.

I don't see why it would. Verified doesn't mean unhackable (including physically), it means correct.

This isn't Elon Musk's fault. It doesn't make sense to use off-the-shelf graphics cards. They're not designed for the environment of cars, and aren't made to have that reliability. The medium older Tesla Autopilot u

The code you're compiling is flat-out wrong though. This is exactly a nasal demons situation. Since `Do` is static, the compiler can guarantee that the only possible place it could be set in this file is in `NeverCalled`. Since calling

I've found over the last few years, as much as I hate to say this, that Windows has been a decent experience for me. It's not perfect, but the combination of the right programs (Directory Opus 12, X display server, SSH client) plu

This isn't news. The whole idea of adversarial algorithms is to fight detector vs. creator (or some other difference in sides). Deepfake detectors can be defeated, so we'll make better deepfake detectors. Then better deepfake crea

I'm much more willing to shell out for a perpetual license for software than a subscription. I use Directory Opus 12 Pro but I don't have a decent PDF tool. Even better if it's an open-source tool that I'm paying for.

Interestingly, there are documented bits in registers for marking whether you're running on an FPGA or as an ASIC.

This is - as the kids put it - a very hot take.

Definitely, `-Wall -Wextra -pedantic` are always there, and only turning off individual ones if there's a good reason.

I consider IKEA to be more or less the ideal home shoppping experience. Some things are picked up along the way, larger things are grabbed at the end. The way they're laid out maximizes usable showroom space, while allowing for entire

Everyone makes mistakes, but trying to write correct code is important. You have to be conscious of the consequences of what you write. You shouldn't rely on non-fixed-width types having specific lengths or on signed integer overflow,

I absolutely hate working form home. I'm less productive and enjoyed life less.

Of course not. Correctness doesn't mean that everything has to be perfect. It means that things work as defined. A C program should operate as specified.

That's interesting with the Surfaces. I have many friends who had/have older models, both the Book and the non-Books. They all ended up having terrible experiences. You know which ones still have them, because on Zoom calls, they&

If you have a broken compiler, you can have broken generated code, and not even know it. This isn't about whether or not your C code is correct, this is about whether the assembly that's generated matches the behavior in your code

In my opinion, a program that is wrong is always worse than a slow program that is correct. Full stop, no exceptions.

Not really the same, but I had fun back in high school. Finding the Novell messaging utility that let me send a message to (IIRC) anyone in the school board currently logged in, though not anonymously. Using some a couple lines of VBScript

I get why they do it, but actually causing issues just to cycle IPs seems like a lot. I've had cases where I have the same IP assigned to me for quite a long time.

You're basically surrounded by 8051 processors at all times. Tiny controllers, many probably OTP or mask-ROM, doing all sorts of basic management things.

At least a lot of the "important" American ones seem to have switched. At my university we used Nios II which, while basically no one will directly use it in their lives, was good enough for learning assembly. It's all pretty

I think that's the wrong question to ask. Aside from those writing kernels, compilers, JITs, etc., developers don't need to care, that's the point of programming languages and compilers. Throw a toolchain at a developer and t

"presumably acquiring a passport or other citizenship documents" Why are you being so bold as to assume that? I'm not saying that either way is the case, but you can't assume that that's the case. Also, as stated el

No one is debating whether or not 0 is even here. The article mentions that it's well-settled. This is about why the results show so many "normal" people not seeing it as even. Framing it as modular arithmetic isn't goin

I disagree with what you say in the second point, unless they've forgotten what odd and even mean in that sense. You aren't taught that 56,437 is odd, it just is. IMHO this isn't a thing that needs to be/should be rememb
