Do you have your own array library that you use in your projects? If so that's pretty cool and it would be interesting to see. Edit: i looked at your profiles information and have discovered lots of fun stuff

I'm a little bit confused on what this means. By array I guess you mean a dynamically sized, but not dynamically-resizable pointer and size/length pair? So you aren't storing the "capacity" like Rust's Vec woul

If people who reverse engineer things like Windows APIs can be sued simply because they have viewed leaked Windows source code and may implement something similar to it, on accident, I think "AI" should be held to the same standar

All your peers want is for their software's licenses and other related things to be respected. Many people publish their software under the GPL because they want to enforce that their work remains open and free for everyone. ChatGPT sl

I have also discovered that certain implementations of dd have a progress printing functionality that can be used for similar purposes. You can put a "dd status=progress" in a pipeline and it will print the amount and rate of data

Gentoo for me is not about compiling things from source, or "performance", or tweaking your OS for days, which seems to be the comment perception from people. Now that there is an officially supported binhost, you do not have to c

I fact checked both of us and the timelime is Sept 2023 to July 2024, so you are correct that it's not over a year. >September to April You seem to be not telling the truth, perhaps you should admit that yourself.

Google sends multiple emails that are extremely clear about what is going to happen. If you ignore the emails or notifications, that is your fault, not on the service. Like I mentioned above, even the Google podcast service is giving users

The diffs don't have to be line-oriented if you are using a diffing tool that isn't based on line changes. Git itself just stores snapshots of your files, then you can bring your own diffing tool that works in any way you'd l

I agree that it's error prone and far from ideal, and that most people should be using signal or matrix or something, but I'm not sure what other practical answers there are for more intense cases where people don't have acce

PGP over email is used in the real world and used successfully. Research about online black markets (which serves as a nice "case study") will show that the main form of communication between people there have been pasting a PGP e

Many Linux distros rely on PGP. Most of these distros are using PGP to distribute software, often binaries that are distributed to end users. Gentoo as an example, requires all commits to the gentoo repo to be signed by a key in the "g

To me these are all advantages, not disadvantages. Wayland is not X11 and doesn't want to be, it doesn't implement even a fraction of what X11 did and that is an intentional design choice! Wayland does not provide any graphics dra

How is that interface unfriendly? The basic idea here is that you provide some callback functions the handle events, setup a framebuffer with mmap, and register your surface and framebuffer with the compositor. There is nothing complicated

I don't know very much about formal methods but I would assume the type system plays an important role for encoding that specific states can or cant exist.

You could claim the same thing about JavaScript. It's very possibly more popular than Python, but it's definitely not better designed than Python or most of the other languages in current use.

That makes sense, there has to be some level of human written responses for specific things, like when you ask it about a controversial topic that it refuses to answer, it gives you some canned response about how it won't answer that,

It's worth noting that copy_file_range is used by a lot of things. Most programming languages "copy_file" functions use copy_file_range, everything from Rust to Emacs Lisp! The only language I can think of that doesn't u

I wonder if it has some canned human-written responses when asking specific questions about itself. This would be pretty clever to silently implement, that will definitely help convince people that it's approaching "AGI". It&

In a repo with unstaged changes, running "git checkout ." will checkout files from a specific commit into the worktree and clobber your unstaged changes. By default it probably uses HEAD as the commit to checkout from. You can che
