Of course it’s obligatory in such an article to mention the ongoing controversies surrounding self-driving cars. They’re relevant context. But if anything, that paragraph makes Waymo look good, given that it comes after a paragraph listin

As another user, I do care, and I dislike the XDG directories. ~/.local/share/foo in particular is obnoxiously longer than ~/.foo, and the existence of the XDG spec means that if I don’t know where a program stores its

Are you arguing that the GPL check “effectively controls access to a work” or “effectively protects a right of a copyright owner [..] in a work or a portion thereof”? Either way, the bar of how “effective” a measure needs to be to count ma

Sure there’s a way. Define a standard way to encapsulate an “IPv4-with-more-bits” packet (let’s call it “IP+”) inside an IPv4 packet. When a router supporting IP+ forwards an IP+ packet to a router that doesn’t support it (assume there’s

Two differences: First, stackful coroutines use the coroutine stack for everything they do. Stackless coroutines can use the normal thread stack for synchronous calls, and that stack can be shared across any number of coroutines. Per-coro

It’s not `lea` itself that’s new in AMD64 but rather RIP-relative addressing; this can be used as a memory operand for any instruction but it’s especially useful with `lea`. If you’re wondering where the reference to RIP is, the assembly i

At least on iOS, not without hacking the operating system. Siri’s ability to listen for a wakeword without an microphone indicator requires privileges that normal apps don’t get. On Android, as far as I can tell, the same is true, except

It might be related to the fact that the word “black” often precedes “cat”.

There are different kinds of complexity. Thanks to ordinals, PE has two ways to link against a symbol (by name and by ordinal), and if you use ordinals then you need a .def file, which has to be kept consistent over time if you want to kee

With Nintendo Switch currently at 130 million sales compared to 3 million for the Steam Deck, I’m not sure Nintendo has much to worry about. Admittedly, the Steam Deck has been out for much less time, but it also went through a big hype cy

> The obvious choice is a compare-and-swap atomic, which will fail if another thread has already made the transition. However, with a more careful selection of state representation, we can do this with just an atomic increment! But why?

I think replacing “seem like” with “appear to be” would make the sentence worse. “Seem like” gives a more abstract feel to the comparison, which is well-suited to the sentence given that “the pen” does not refer to an individual pen and “a

The new CCMP conditional-compare instruction is also equivalent to ARMv8’s instruction of the same name. If a condition passes, compare two registers; if not, set the condition bits to an arbitrary value. On ARM that instruction is a pai

When fgetc succeeds, the int it returns has a value based on interpreting the byte as an unsigned char. On a platform with an 8-bit char, that means it’s in the range 0 to 255. This is required by the C spec regardless of whether char is

Perhaps the macros help you forward methods on the outer class to methods on the impl class? While your approach of having public methods refer to the field also works, it’s nice to have public and private methods in the same place (the im
