There's no reason to use (the very ancient) SHM API over mmap, not today. You can literally do everything with mmap that you can do with shm, without hitting OS caps, no performance penalty and with a code that's simpler.

The use of articles in English is an absolute horror. Unlike, say, in French where articles are 100% required, in English they are usually required, but not always. It's this ambiguity that is infuriating, especially because not a si

The website is completely unusable on iPhone and on iPad. It doesn't scroll, jerks back in place, parts are blank and empty... looks really strange.

If you count reddit as the news, the whole world is pretty much on the verge of collapse.

Shenanigans are forthcoming, guaranteed. I had 30+ domains with them, a client of 20 years and a true fanboy, referred dozens of friends. I wouldn't touch them with a long pole now. Moved all to Porkbun and INWX.

Kinda hard providing service to X nationals while hiding in basement of your office building because X is attacking the very city you are in. Namecheap had exactly that. I'd say the ban was 100% justified.

It's less of a private key and more a random per-remote prng seed that gets set both on the remote and the door controller when they are paired. When you press the button, remote increments its sequence number and send this number, its

For a Show HN thread it is oddly devoid of OP's participation. Combined with the dated nature of the material, it looks a low-effort promo rather a genuine attempt to share one's work.

Wouldn't hurt to explain other voodoo words, e.g. DAS and rolling.

Doom was released (as shareware, upgradable to the full version) after a year in development.

That's probably a better question for Romero. Unless you are interested in Carmack's take on Descent's engine.

> The shareware relase of Doom had four months of development This is incorrect. Doom took a year. This was literally in the first answer Carmack gives on the Twitch stream yesterday - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QvAkaJ

I don't like them as any other tech person, but lets give a credit where the credit is due. Ads and SEO ruined it way more thoroughly than cookie prompts.

It's yours until it becomes a part of conversation, at which point it's no longer just yours. Just like when you contribute a brick to build a house only to yank it out later on because "it's yours". Yeah, you ca

Do you destroy your comments that have replies though? If you do, that's a fairly nasty and thoughtless thing to do and I would strongly encourage you to revise your approach to commenting and/or privacy.

That's not quite what I meant. Basically a dev would sell a Reddit client for a fixed amount and when the user would fire it up to view Reddit, then that would trigger a native Reddit's API subscription, paid by the user directl

Wouldn't the most obvious solution be to charge Apollo users for the API access? This will spread the $ load down to peanuts per user and be similar to the original ($1/mo) WhatsApp pricing model.

Also because of upcoming talks between the US and China on easing Taiwan tensions. These won't be off to a good start if they'd shoot down something Chinese now.

I am with you wrt fat pointers for arrays, but what difference would it make here ? Will it result in a bounds check and a run-time failure point?

An empty rope is 16 bytes on 64bit machines and whooping 24 bytes if it's a wchar rope. In some cases it might be ok, in many others it's not.
