Ironic in light of your comments on the OpenBSD forced W^X thing, but I happen to agree that strict W^X should be used everywhere possible. It may not matter for higan (though it would be funny to see someone exploit it), but it could be a

I find it strange that people proudly identify as "communists" without much stigma when the ideology was responsible for more death and suffering than national socialism. I guess it's a lot harder to remain ignorant of the Ho

Define "better." Nicer? Maybe. More effective? Probably not. More amusing? Certainly not.

libco relies on being able to map WX pages for a rather silly reason[1], so it won't run on iOS without some work. [1] The author didn't like requiring assemblers to build his projects, so instead the coroutine switch machine code

Coroutine libraries are in the class of libraries that are small and easy enough to write (if you know assembly) that most people roll their own. libco (used in the bsnes/higan emulator) is a good, portable one.

This is where affirmative action is a step backwards. The unconscious assumption goes from "they're an X in this field, they have to be good" to "they're an X in this field, they're probably just here to fill

To add to this, in the past it may have been worthwhile to uproot your family and move across the world to "the land of opportunity." That doesn't imply in any way that today it is worthwhile to uproot your family and move ac

So the solution is to stop taxing dollars spent on health care, period. Which, coincidentally, is a large part of Trump's health care plan (untaxed contributions to "Health Savings Accounts" that can accumulate without limit,

What the fuck is the point of life if not to leave your descendants better off than you? What a depressingly narcissistic brand of individualism. Moreover, if you refuse to help your descendants and expect them to "pull themselves up b

Honestly at this point, I assume that every new Coding Horror post is an excuse to spam affiliate links at people.

"Games aren't CPU limited" is a myth, and if you build your own PC instead of following Jeff Atwood's affiliate codes, you can easily put something together for half that price that absolutely smokes all the current gen

You can wildly speculate about Trump all day, but Bill Clinton messed with a lot more women than just Monica Lewinsky. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton_sexual_misconduct... It's especially weird that &qu

Not exactly a CLI but I wish every program had a Sublime Text-like command palette shortcut for performing actions and accessing menus by typing their names.

It would screw with "TUI" programs but I really wish consoles had split input and output panes, where the input pane is just a regular text box that supports standard editing shortcuts.

I don't mind the meta comments when they're confined to one thread, but it gets annoying when there are more meta threads than on topic ones. People, read the comments before you comment. Chances are someone already complained abo

The most important factor in the success of a child is arguably the stability of their home life. A poor kid with two dedicated parents can very easily get further in life than the wealthy child of a nasty divorce. And left in the dust is t

I see things the exact opposite way. Giving the state (for the purposes of the majority of taxpayers) a monopoly on education produces schools that are uniformly bad , with terrible standardized curricula, insufficient institutional motiva

It makes sense from an evolutionary perspective. The vast majority of men across history died without fathering any children. Doing so was a very real competition to secure power and women and defend what you had from the marauders. Our anc

Most games use P2P because it's a hell of a lot cheaper to run 1 or 2 servers for matchmaking and offload all of the simulation and network cost to the players, rather than hundreds or thousands of dedicated servers, and because their

In Source Engine games, there is no lag compensation for projectiles. The lower your ping, the faster the projectile is spawned on the server. You can see this very clearly when playing on high ping: you click mouse1, you hear the rocket fi
