The article claims this is portable C. Given the use of intel intrinsics, what happens if you try to compile it for ARM64?

Being able to DOS the system by calling an API should be considered a bug in the system. There are mitigation strategies for such things. If you can’t (for mitigation purposes) distinguish a DOS from desired behavior, there’s something very

How exactly are they measuring this? Apple won’t release those numbers; they’re between the App Store and the developer.

Kathy Hochul really dug her political grave by killing this at the last minute. So at least there’s that.

TFA seems pretty clear about it? For example: "The NTSB said that during a media briefing on Tuesday, a Boeing executive provided non-public investigative information to journalists about the Alaska Airlines incident that the agency ha

C compilers may not optimize tail recursion properly, so it's not necessarily safe to teach C programmers to do that.

It's definitely too late for LCM -- the heirs don't care about the societal value and are parting it out. It's gone. It'd be super cool if CHM added a living computers wing. They've done a few nice restorations of s

Then it should do so broadly and inclusive of actual technical expertise. It’s nitpicking fluff because Epic and Spotify are mad, and not addressing root causes. It’s easy (and often deserved) to dunk on the trillion-dollar corporation. And

It is completely relevant, because it’s arguing against the claim that Ruby was unstable once back in 2005.

Your first two points don’t seem valid, in my experience. The Ruby 2.0 migration wasn’t that interesting from a compatibility perspective; it certainly wasn’t anything like Python 2 -> 3. And Ruby is __not__ slow compared to bash. I don’

The article is calling two-speaker mono “high fidelity” so I’d take details like this with a grain of salt. I’m sort of wondering if TFA is AI filtered content from another site.

The USA absolutely fucked manufacturing into the sun, but that doesn’t come back overnight, and China cheats in ways that we can’t. You have a comment below that seems to indicate you have no clue how bad they have it vs US blue collar work

This is ridiculous. AT&T should be required to either wire fiber to every house in every service area, or to give up its franchise completely to local non-profit municipal broadband collectives. No more cherry-picking who they want to s

Results will vary by image; I'm not sure the single comparison in TFA is the best possible source for comparison.

This is really cool and I’d actually love to have it. The main issue with it — aside from the limited market; how many houses are big enough to justify the cost, and how many of those are new construction or to-the-studs remodeled in any gi

That sounds both less efficient and possibly actively dangerous in any reasonably large facility. It will certainly be slower than tube delivery.

Friendly reminder: you can buy an LG OLED and use it as a dumb TV by not connecting it to the internet. It still works, it doesn’t nag you about it, and it doesn’t try to sneak its way onto local WiFi. I don’t know how long this will last,

That’s not specific to Zig — local heap allocators generally don’t zero deallocated memory — that’s a significant, unnecessary performance hit. If you need data to be isolated when memory is corrupt, you need it to be isolated always.

It’s not, actually, any more than any other language. That was Guido’s original plan, but show a page of modern Python code to someone who’s never seen it before and they’ll run screaming. There is a minimal subset where you can say it read

I think you mean: many of whom work some of their life to try to get richer than they already are and then continuously watch Fox News and Newsmax for 20 years and therefore believe brown people should suffer.
