Saying "we're lucky" makes it sound like Valve's investment in Linux is a happy accident, but as you point out, the Steam Machine was announced in 2013, and back them gaming on Linux was seen as a pie in the sky dream. H

No, that was the 2010 "diplomatic cables" release. Basically, they disseminated an encrypted version of the data cache, and gave the decryption key to a few key people, including Guardian journalist David Leigh, with the expectati

I mean... yes, that's how police surveillance works? People don't want to do illegal things when they know the police is watching, so sometimes the police has to spy on people before they can prove they did something illegal. Th

I don't find it surprising at all. A ton of developers do optimizations based on vibes and very rarely check if they're actually getting a real benefit from it.

Yeah, I don't see the huge improbability here. Given that we know that: - Fleming lived next door to an unsecure mycology lab. - The temperature during the time period was low enough that if Fleming had left a contaminated culture unat

You could do it like a brownout, and have a random per-user cooldown going from a day to a month. Not enough to accumulate tech debt, enough to mitigate the potential impact of any supply-chain vulnerability.

Yeah, that's a bad example, there's a bunch of ways field order matters in Rust. Import order would have been a better example (they're always supposed to be sorted).

tl;dr: The government's argument is the old "if we mandate seatbelts, cars will be too expensive and nobody will make them except for luxury brands" argument.

"PeutÊtre" => "Option" is the clearest evidence this is shitposting, because Option is also a French word. But the best one is "merde" | "calisse" | "oups" => "panic"

No, I don't. First, Israel has consistently denied journalists access to those distribution sites, so the only video evidence we should expect to find are from civilians. Civilians who are in the middle of a stampede and getting shot a

That was an exceptional event, that was deeply unpopular within said coalition, and only possible because Netanyahu was widely hated. From what I read, none of the Jewish parties are interested in renewing the experience.

Yeah, that made me question my sanity for a minute. I guess it's performance art, so, thanks, I hate it.

Wait, so what's the difference between TDPE and Copy-and-Patch? I thought they used the same technique (pre-generating machine code snippets in a high-level language)?

It feels sometimes that compiler backend devs haven't quite registered the implications of the TDPE paper. As far as I can tell it gets pareto improvements far above LLVM, Cranelift, and any WebAssembly backend out there. You'd ex
