That would be true of one using a libc, but in a boot sector, you only have the bios, so the atoi being referenced is the one defined in c near the beginning of the article

The “fancy jump” is the branch instruction. As far as I know all ISAs have them. Even rv32i which is famously minimal has several branch instructions in addition to two forms of unconditional jump. Branches are typically used to construct i

In comparison to datacenters in space yes. Solar roofs are already a profitable business, just not likely to be high growth. Datacenters in space are unlikely to ever make financial sense, and even if they did, they are very unlikely to sho

Solar roofs are much more practical to be honest.

Not physics defying, just economically questionable. The main benefits to being in space are making solar more reliable and no need to buy real estate or get permits. Everything else is harder. Cooling is possible but heavy compared to sola

For the bridge, I love how it added a bunch of electrical wires along the top. Imo that’s not very realistic, given there are tons of better places to run wires on a bridge, but somehow it does look substantially more realistic. Even though

Thanks. Serves me right for commenting without reading the article.

I think the point is that that sounds like a potential problem for turso, but it’s not really a problem for everyone else unless some sort of vendor lockin would prevent using open source alternatives. But given the strong compatibility sto

Lua is the syntax in the build configuration file, not how the tool is implemented internally. It’s part of the developer experience.

I think a syntax example on the homepage would be a good idea. Also comparison charts for things like cmake, ninja, meson, and bazel. If you have a dependency finding strategy, highlight the pros and cons of that. Basically the only reason

I would love to have responded something like “only one: yours” But in all seriousness, ai does a pretty good job at impersonating VPs. It’s confidently wrong and full of hope for the future.

I think they want to get low enough that the jettisoned cover will not stay in orbit long or run into anything.

Inflation is the rate that a whole basket of goods gets more expensive. At least that’s how CPI is calculated and it’s what I meant by it. Since that number is averaged across a bunch of goods and services, there will always be some that in

At least for editing text on the iPhone the key to moving the cursor is holding down the space bar: the keyboard transforms into a trackpad for cursor placement. This doesn’t really help for selecting text though, but it makes typing longer

If it is in-process (as the article says), why do you describe it as client / server architecture? If it’s not in-process why compare it to SQLite instead of other client server databases like Postgres?

The benefit seems to be that we are one step closer to not needing to have the fallback path. This was probably a lot more relevant before Intel shit the bed with consumer avx-512 with e-cores not having the feature

No. Why would I want that? What does that make easier?

That’s the whole point of buying your phone unlocked: to allow competition between carriers. Growing up in Europe we had very cheap prepaid plans but you still paid more for out of network than in-network, so lots of budget conscious people

How is that measured? All the anecdotal evidence I’ve ever seen suggests the number of hours you have to work at realistic (especially entry level) wages to afford rent, basic food, and transit to said job is currently higher than it’s ever

To be fair I know a nontrivial number of people who bought their iPhones used. I’m sure that happens in the android market, but it doesn’t seem to be as common in the US. I think the fact that iPhones have offered acceptable support for muc

Right, but what does the plan cost? If it’s more expensive than other providers and you are locked in for 36 months, that’s where they make their money.

In my defense I was in college at the time, and I did actually run some tests to ensure my understanding of the firewall was correct. I just didn’t even think to account for ipv6 or especially for that range having different firewall rules.
115.
by MobiusHorizons 9mo ago
I don’t have any idea how they got the ip, it could certainly have been making outbound connections, though. I think it had NTP, although I might have pointed it at a local server we had for that.

Fun fact I have actually had an sbc get hacked because I didn’t change the default password. I thought it would be reasonably safe for a few days because I knew the VLAN it was on had NAT and the associated firewall rules that deny inbound

The very long task list. Browsers contain several high complexity pieces each of could take a while to build on its own, and interconnect them with reasonably verbose APIs that need to be implemented or at least stubbed out for code to not

I am aware. My point was basically that the people who wanted them weren’t lying, they really love them, and are willing to keep them for years even though they are getting slightly old now. I’m imagining this doesn’t show up in first year

Sometimes real estate agents do a lot. Anecdote of course, but my real estate agent spent a few hours basically every weekend with us for like 2-3 months as we toured 25 houses, went over ~10 inspection reports, and made 3-4 offers. And he
