One unfortunate issue / question: are compilers smart enough to emit tests for CPU support for these extensions? I see no mention of that, and if the answer is "no" you will find yourself being still forced to hand-roll this

Tape a note to it: do not touch, do not clean! This isn't a regular display. It's a super-expensive professional instrument. The only people buying this are going to be photo editors, Hollywood people, graphic artists, etc.

Heh, sorry. Never did that before but that one just pushed an obviousness button for me. BTW thanks for your tireless mod work. It probably sucks but it keeps this site one of the few that isn't full of troll drool.

I wouldn't take it that far, but IMHO the free (as in beer) part needs to be questioned at least when it comes to for-profit commercial uses of software. I'd like software to be free and open source for people and academic or no

Its weird what people and businesses will and will not support. Businesses will shovel loads of money into SaaS and cloud hosting without blinking, but support a programming tool? Never! Another hundred Office users and 50 more AWS VMs? No

Someone posted this and got downvoted to the point of 'dead'. I smell bots and/or troll farmers, so I'm reposting: -- I listened to an episode of Darknet Diaries[1] where they interview one of the contractors that worked

For a lot of people their house literally is their savings. Property values dropping means no old age care, etc. That may or may not be true for your friends but its true for a lot of people. Housing as financial instrument is for my money

It ends with tech geographically diversifying. Last time I was in SF, an odd thought just randomly popped into my head as I was walking around downtown: "San Francisco is someone else's house." I've never been able to pu

The closed/open/free/freedom paradox of Apple is something people should be thinking more about: They are in many ways the most closed of all the big tech companies. Their flagship platform (in revenue terms), iOS, is the mos

That's a good thing? Excessively cramped living spaces create anxiety and reduce ability to concentrate among other things. BTW I think the real problem is the hyper-concentration of all opportunity in only a few cities. The US is enor

The down payment is a function of the sale price, and that makes housing completely unthinkable to a lot of people in high price areas. They could afford the payment. Sometimes the payment would be lower than rent. Going under 20% down resu

Sounds about right. For years I've called Silicon Valley the "world's only six figure slum." It wouldn't be this way if we figured out how to use this Internet thing for communication.

Bureaucratic inertia. I've been hoping for years that it'll be certified. They've talked about Curve25519 and Curve448 for a while but no movement so far. My insider sources tell me there's opposition, but I have no clue

I can tell you that as long as the crypto in WireGuard is DJB stuff that can't be FIPS certified, Cisco and Juniper and such will still do a strong VPN business and you will rarely see it in BigCo, at least in the US. Security is large

All messengers do this. They start out good and add features until they are bloated junk. It's a law of nature dating back to the 90s.

Its free for unlimited devices if you run your own network controller, which is not that hard. Look under controller/ in the github repo.

This would be no different from an app, just delivered via web. So not really anything new.

I think it can only be fixed with legislation. There is too much attack surface to the point that avoiding tracking is hard even if you take extraordinary measures.

If anyone wants to see why little endian is better try implementing a sigint. Big endian makes everything backwards in terms of iteration order.

Yeah, I also learned to talk to other humans in my late teens and had girlfriends (and friends in general both male and female). I think a lot of this bollocks preys on people with severe social issues. Unfortunately it sucks them into hate

Nuclear requires something to help load follow too since reactors don't throttle quickly. The French use hydro and import/export. Load leveling is a problem that must be solved to go beyond fossil fuels, and even without climate c
