That was really lovely pedagogy. Great use of animations (do you have a trick for effectively making them?)

LTO I will grant you. I don't think you need to meaningfully inline the body of delete to get sized-delete to work effectively. You do want to statically link your sized operator delete body though, obviously. As of the last time I

I should point out that the way you phrased it sounds very much like "Yeah, you're gonna carry a pager and like it. Deal with it." This, if true, entirely disqualifies Stripe for me as a potential employee; I am not interest

I do love the social history of good commit messages, and what they teach us about the process of what we do. I will offer one nit here, which is that I always start my commit messages with one-line summaries; this makes it really easy to

Somewhat off topic, but what's the closest thing to Avernum - a big, sprawly, kitchen sink RPG with a ton of backstory and fiddly combat - that I can play on my phone? (Not a tablet.) Growing up Spiderweb games were some of my all time

It is when they're voting on how much a third party (I.e. you) will be required to pay them. See: the Chicago, California, and general us public pension crisis.

Honestly? Good. Architects and architectural styles are much more concerned with their particular artistic vision, and status signaling within their tribe, than with whether their buildings are pleasant to live within. (See: brutalism, for

They said that no direct sunlight must fall on the external walls at all and the north façade [direction of summer sun] window-to-wall area must not exceed 25%. Pass. Natural light (and tons of it!) are a hard requirement for anywhere I

Fair, but rand() is kinda trashy, and the overwhelming part of that cost is fwrite anyway.

Unreasonable according to you. :) The nice thing about virtual memory is that it's, well, virtual. It costs you almost nothing until you've touched it. (Fun exercise for the reader: measure the kernel overhead for an unused 1 TiB

Bezos pays the Danegeld. I'm disappointed in him. I'm also not sure what political player he's paying off...he didn't seem to need much influence with Seattle politicians lately. Bezos is smart enough to know that the pr

> I don't see why that would have to add latency to all (or any) memory access. The addresses generated by programs (except in real mode, when everything has access to everything anyway so we don't care about these issues then)

Flops are cheap. Bandwidth is expensive. Latency is physics. We aren't at full lightspeed latencies ram technologies, but we're closer than you may realize, and it's unlikely we can do substantially better any time soon witho

I'm uncertain if it's safe to use AESENC and friends in kernel mode in Freebsd. A number of kernels can't safely use e.g. FPU registers in-kernel and aesni operates exclusively on SSE state.

If you discovered a mechanism by which it was possible for a cell phone to cause cancer, you'd win a Nobel Prize in physics. Not "you discovered that they did, in fact, cause cancer"; just discovering a way that it is physica

I wonder if this will lead to restrictions on the use of copay coupons [1]. Insurers hate them since they break my incentive to use cheaper drugs from their formulary, but pharmacies don't care (and probably are better off for me usin

A while back I was playing Half-life on Steam, and every so often a classical madrigal would start playing, with oddly familiar voices. A truly strange bug; I couldn't think of any good reason for it. Months later, I opened my computer

This is pretty interesting and apt. One thing I'd quibble with is their claim that many professional skills aren't fungible; this is true in general but there are many cases where a non-fungible skill is fungible for a major use

I know this well, but standing for more than about an hour is torture on my back. (I suspect my flat feet and tight hips contribute here.) I have no idea how to fix this.
