I think they were talking about projects that tell you to run `make install`, which I agree is less than ideal.

That's probably a great way to get shot, especially in the US. Not only is sneaking into a tenants place (at night of all times) an asshole move, likely illegal, and a clear abuse of power, but it's also such an incredibly stupid

Interestingly, Genode actually also uses two rings for async bulk transfer RPC (packet streams)[0], only the rings are called submit queue and acknowledgement queue rather than submission queue and completion queue. And since Genode applica

I guess that would explain why Sony got rid of the option to run Linux on the PS3. With businesses buying PS3s as cheap servers and not buying any games, that would definitely be a bad deal for Sony if they sold the PS3 at a loss.

The first half of nand2tetris[1] (projects 1-6), which corresponds to their first Coursera course[2] is a great introduction to the digital side of electronics. The second half is more general purpose computer and OS specific but probably s

If you have a house with space for a garden and the time to dedicate gardening, sure. You can grow some things in an apartment even, but not much. Taking the labor, time, and space requirements out of food production is a huge deal, especia

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't ECS a really fitting architecture for a simulation/tycoon game? There are lots of entities and components that have to be updated and whose updates could be parallelized. Granted, the game

Yeah, text on computers and phones is so much different from handwritten or even printed text. We don't have to handwrite text that often anymore, so we don't have the constraints of how accurate our hands can move. Our screens ha

How do you think without words, or rather sounds, or images? How do you keep track of a concept without a label you can attach to it?

Until they get a winning game ruined by a sudden net cutoff. Although that's probably not a big issue with Fortnite since expected game lengths should be fairly predictable (average seems to be 20-25 mins from what I've found) due

To be fair, Linux and friends aren't much better in that regard. Permission management for locally running programs is pretty much poor by default in all major operating systems. SELinux and AppArmor for Linux improve on the situation,

It would be great if sites had an option to remove reset support for your account permanently. One that is literally impossible to reset. But I'm not sure how to do that without implementing complete user data encryption.

Kind of but not really. You still can't access an undeclared element, and you still can't take a mutable and an immutable reference to an element by index. The borrow checker only cares about memory safety, and index accessors are
