There's a shocking amount of systems that still have 32 bit time_t. Linux and glibc only started supporting it on 32bit systems in the current decade.

I was summarizing this from a Google search. https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/intrinsic-types#:~:text=One%20wa... . As I read it, this link may be describing a hypothetical rather than real compiler. But I did not parse

Depends on your definition of addressable. Lots of CISC architectures allow memory accesses in various units even if they call general-purpose-register-sized quantities "word". Iirc the C standard specifies that all memory can be

I think the pdp-10 could have 9 bit bytes, depending on decisions you made in the compiler. I notice it's hard to Google information about this though. People say lots of confusing, conflicting things. When I google pdp-10 byte size it

My guess is that somebody coded that event-loop-less X client not really familiar with the language and how to write Xlib apps. I partially assume this because C, C++ and especially Xlib are becoming less popular over time, so finding skill

If memory serves, Windows treats a sleep under the scheduler quantum length as a yield. It may take you off the cpu if there's something else to run but it may not. Meanwhile burning up cycles may prevent low power states. At any rate,

Not my experience at all. Granted I haven't tried writing a loop like this in 20ish years, because once you spot that mistake you don't tend to make it again, and CPUs are better now. Another thing to note is when you call sleep w

The code is a little weird. There is no XLib event loop. It calls sleep(100) in a loop until it hits SIGINT. That will have high cpu usage for no reason.

But the part you miss is that it works . This is anecdotal for now but people are looking at evaluating that more objectively. It's not even a stretch if you squint at this. The currently accepted treatment is SSRIs, the second S stan

I say "even" because the stereotype is Southern Europe, Turkey, or North Africa. The further north you go in Europe, the more Jewish and Ashkenazi identities get merged and blurred in people's minds. So the history of sephard

Ok. Then I misread.

I thought sephardim scattered into a lot of places, including elsewhere in Europe (even places like Amsterdam) and North Africa. Not to mention conversos that stayed put.

Are you saying the claim that psychedelics are effective treatment for depression, PTSD, addiction etc. are simply because those who try it suffer those conditions? What about the part where they say it works effectively? Because I don&#x27

The syscall implementations themselves do checks and return EPERM/EACCES when appropriate. The mechanism for doing the syscall can change. I mean, in the 90s it happened via int 0x80, then we got sysenter, then the vdso. io_uring just

by asveikau 2y ago
This is off topic, but I don't see Bush/Cheney as very different from Trump, and there is a straight line between those. The biggest contrast is that Trump jettisoned decorum and politeness. Bush was outwardly polite as he enacted

I was noticing the big blue app doesn't let you report a fake profile unless the impersonated person has a real profile. What kind of narcissist designs a "report fake profile" feature that assumes everybody on earth has an a

I think it's unusual to assume they are based in the US and employ/underpay foreigners. A lot of people making the content are just from somewhere else.

Facebook is mostly this now too. Long comment threads of boomers thanking AI images for their military service or congratulating it on a long marriage.

I would add screen or tmux to that because you may run a long job that you may want to get back to after a connection drop.

The window manager won't matter at all in the HDMI/EDID negotiation with the projector. Windows vs the X server may make a difference. But which X11 WM you use should be irrelevant.

I played around with POPS and PS2PSXe, compatibility and performance was pretty bad on both for differing reasons. Mechapwn worked for me.

This is such whataboutism. You might as well have asked why the state doesn't allow you to kill people. Why is there any rule at all ever? Clearly apple has a divine right to prevent you from changing CSS and it has equal legitimacy to

Seems like a criticism of apple too. Why does this developer need permission from Apple to change some css?

There's a memory card exploit that lets you load games from ISOs, either from a hard drive or the network card via SMB share. No patching or burning required. Does not work for PS1 titles however.

I agree that price feels shockingly high. However, the government can subsidize treatment. As can private insurance policies, before the sufferer becomes homeless, or if they qualify for a family member's plan. The population suffering
