I would use ECC memory if I could. I used to use a TR 2920x with ECC but now I'm on a Ryzen 7950x with non-ECC. Unbuffered ECC memory is the only one supported by Ryzen, and it's slower or more expensive or both compared to the eq

The way it works right now is already efficient. The adblock-enabled browser doesn't spend energy on rendering ads. If the website then blocks the user from the content then the user leaves.

Well, you can cross the universe in any amount of time. The human lifetime isn't special in that regard. A photon crosses the universe in zero time, and anything with non-zero mass can get arbitrarily close to zero time.

Yes. The article also says: >Having a large standard library doesn't mean that the programmer shouldn't be able to swap out implementations easily as needed. But all that is required is for the standard library to define an int

Right. The "will this or won't this allocate" analysis also needs to take into account all values being used by the code because they might be using allocators internally. I haven't written zig code in a few years so I d

>Zig is practically alone in that if you write the next() method and and don't pass an allocator to any method in the next() body, nothing in that next() method will allocate. It's not quite as simple as that. This can allocate

To be clear for everyone: USB 3.0, USB 3.1 gen 1, and USB 3.2 gen 1x1 are all names for the same thing, the 5Gbps speed. USB 3.1 gen 2 and USB 3.2 gen 2x1 are both names for the same thing, the 10Gbps speed. USB 3.2 gen 2x2 is the 20Gbps sp

It's a 20min video and a little over half of it is everything that's bad, so it's too long to summarize. Watch it yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xWXRk3yaSw 8:10 onwards. Most of them could be fixe

Your link is about AVs implementing signature verification of binaries incorrectly, not Windows implementing signature verification of drivers incorrectly.

FWIW your attitude is correct in general. When you have a bug with a distro package and you haven't root-caused it yourself to a bug in upstream source, the best thing is to report it on the distro tracker. The distro package maintaine

Computer Science classes in Indian schools (fifth to eighth grades in my case) taught programming using Borland Turbo C++. That was back in the 2000s, but I wouldn't be surprised if they still use it today.

Windows provides public debug symbols, so someone could potentially debug a process like this and get some idea of what it's doing based on the stacktrace, like Bruce Dawson is known to do [1]. Does OSX provide such debug symbols? A cu

The code path that drops B will not compile unless that code path drops A first. It doesn't matter if that code path is in response to user input or not. Again, as I said, the point is that the compiler tracks the lifetime of all refer

I believe egberts1's point is that leaving it unspecified invites different implementations to implement it differently. Some might choose to use the bytes from the first fragment, others might choose to use the bytes from the newer fr

For this specific case, saturating_sub would work fine. The checked_sub way would need an additional `.unwrap_or(-1)` Though of course you wouldn't need to do either because the usual way to write a Rust API that takes comparators is f

Also given AMD's repeated bungling of the fTPM, Pluton is probably the better option if you must enable one.
