The amount of times I've heard this story just makes me think rm was badly designed. Should not be this easy to nuke the entire system.

char (*(*x[3])())[5] I'm more of the mindset that writing something like this is probably a code smell to begin with. Is there any reason I'm not thinking of right now, that this couldn't be typedef'd and refact

There may be no air or water in space but there is radiation. Wouldn't that degrade the wood?

Ctrl+F'd for Perplexity. I knew Google was cooked the minute Perplexity worked better for questions about an obscure embedded systems SDK. It has little documentation, but a lot of mailing list and github issues. Google spits out the f

If the balls were improperly weighted at the lottery commission, then maybe you'd have unwittingly discovered the bias in the game. That's certainly possible.

You're not supposed to need to charge it in the first place. Once it's leaking like that, the system generally needs to be replaced, due to some microscopic leak springing somewhere in the welds.

Conventional wisdom dictates; make a game or make an engine. If you're making a serious effort at actually delivering a game, then you may want to use an existing engine. However it's also a nice challenge to write an engine of yo

From a technical perspective, the iPod made more sense twenty years ago. Mobile data was measured in the kilobytes per second and priced in the dollars per kilobyte. You can download your songs on a wired connection, load 'em up, and t

I can see why psychiatrists may oppose it, anyway. There's some scant evidence that cannabis wakes up latent schizophrenia in susceptible users. You never really know if you're susceptible to it or not. Even family history can bet

I was a Phind user for a bit but I've switched to Perplexity lately. Anyone know how the two compare?

Part of the implied deal I get for paying for a service is they don't feel the need to enshittify it. Here's hoping this will be a useful value-add.

Crazy for intel to name it something that sounds exactly like a CIA tailored operations codeword.

You use singular they here. Is your child transgender? Gender dysphoria is an honest-to-god medical condition they should be discussing with a professional - it's a hell of a big one too, one that would certainly cause drowning one&#x2

I suspect this has more to do with keeping intellectually active on something in general. Could be music, could be puzzles, could be a day job. I've seen far too many of my own relatives rot by plopping their ass in front of the TV som

Knew it'd be SIMD. Such an underrated feature of modern CPUs. Hopefully with cross-platform SIMD in Rust and Golang, it'll be more commonly used. Thinking parallel gets you enormous speed benefits for any number of arbitrary algor

When it comes to inclusion, I look at where the rubber actually meets the road. If a project welcomes diverse contributors and doesn't foster an environment that alienates them (which, in part, you can evidence by their continued prese

This is the thing that makes it pretty open and shut to me. Image library devs can still choose to put the whole political thing aside to respect the wishes of the photo's subject. Does anyone have to, well, not really, but it'd

I seem to recall Microsoft being a bit scared of Linux in the early 00s. I'd guess installing DR-DOS on Windows-less PCs seemed less likely to piss off Microsoft and losing their contracts/licenses than installing Linux would have

"successfully" God only knows if he's introduced a carcinogenic gene mutation, or if the effects will last. This is the exact thing proper studies examine.

Blue, Costa, Rush, QBF OS 99, Fastmenu, DOS Start!, Millennium OS, and Fun500 were all written in Quickbasic. There was a fun little trend back in the 90s and early 00s of writing "Windows clones" or "Mac clones" using Q
