It's entirely possible somewhere in the stack of a 32-bit Windows application sits a DLL that uses POSIX time, stat, etc. functions and will fail in a similar way.

Hear hear. Computers should store TAI and convert to human time using leap seconds, time zones and DST offsets. I wonder if we could roll the leap second into the timezone and just remove UTC entirely (or rather make UTC an alias for TAI).

There should really be three "layers" of time indirection. 1) Seconds since 00:00:00UTC 1.1.1970. This value increases by 1 each atomic second and never goes forward/back. Call this Universal Monotonic Time. 2) The difference

Or the earlier / later commands which function exactly as the article describes and are part of vanilla vim. You can even give them a time argument, for example :earlier 10m to go back ten minutes.

Well, there are some good places to work. I've heard Hello Games (makers of No Man's Sky) are pretty alright, notwithstanding the kerfuffle with their initial release of NMS. I've had some acquaintances working in various Ubi

Most every European country has bins for collecting plastic. People shouldn't be burning it themselves, just collect it in the appropriate bin and send it to the incinerator.

That's a different problem to where the packages are hosted. You can host your own packages and get added to an official aggregator. Said aggregator can function as an automatic verification system to assure people that your software i

I once added a "very simple" string manipulation utility function that was "obviously correct" and "didn't need any tests", then pushed directly to master. Suffice to say I don't do that any more.

I have a couple of gripes with these guidelines, not because I love writing unsafe programs, but because this way of writing C++ conflicts with the reality of how C++ is implemented. 1. shared_ptr is very slow. It makes it safe to share d

Or have global pointers be in a specific range, then replace pointer dereference with a check if the pointer is in that range and if yes, read the real pointer value from a table. Keeping the fake pointer values consistent would be tricky,

Took some finagling, but I made it off the road and onto the endless meadow. Really fun to slide around on and try to avoid the trees. Can't comment on the road driving, as I never spent more than a minute on it. I'm surprised you

No, it's still sRGB. Usually it's referred to as "linear sRGB" or "linear Rec. 709" to make the distinction clear. The latter uses the same XY coordinates for its R G and B channels, but a slightly different tr

Because a color space is a definition of the physical characteristics of the R, G, and B channels, usually given as points in XYZ space, along with the white point of the color space. Every color space is defined in terms of linear intensit

by Asooka 4y ago
This is wrong, sRGB is not a "nonlinear color space". In fact, the term itself makes no sense, all color spaces are defined in terms of linear intensity. What you mean is that sRGB is usually stored and transmitted with a transfer

I looked at the source a few years back and saw more than a few functions that looked like the result of decompiling machine code to C. I didn't spend much time trying to see if that's true or not, but in the end it doesn't s

It's probably time for the Linux world to distance itself from the trash fire that is GNU, as they keep breaking backwards compatibility. This isn't 1970, it's 2022, people! You do not just break the world for no good reason.

That seems pretty far-fetched. Do you have examples of such effects being shown wrong on CRTs without scanlines?

Some CRTs do have visible scanlines, some do not. Check out this thread https://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=63197 . Personally I'd like the simulated CRT to have no scanlines, rather what I want is temp

This is going off-topic, but I'm curious. Does this mean I can take a GPL project, modify it, then sell the binaries+source for $$$ and refuse to release my modifications for free?

I see one problem with this - for outside contributors. If I contribute a patch to a project that is free of charge, then my contribution is on the same altruistic grounds as other devs' contributions - for both of us the profit from o
