I'd agree that HTTP/1 deserves a significant portion of the blame. On the other hand, one maxim I've learned from my time bug hunting is that nobody ever validates strings in binary protocols. As such, I'm utterly unsur

You need a precise angle but not a precise speed. I can't speak for mice myself, but on my MacBook Pro trackpad, this is still much faster. Indeed, if I try to get the mouse cursor from somewhere near the middle of the screen to some

It's actually weirder than that. The C standard allows type punning through unions, but not because of the clause you mentioned. It allows it because of footnote 95: > If the member used to read the contents of a union object is n

That's nice, but the blog post doesn't say anything about migrating libraries across versions? Looking at the comment thread, I see tialaramex's sibling comment suggested the blog post was about migration, but it's not.

Regardless, type punning though a union is not undefined behavior in C the first place [1] [2]. On the other hand, it is undefined in C++, but GCC allows it there too. [1] https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11639947&#

C++ namespaces are unrelated to this. They don’t accomplish the same thing.

Though, with Smash Bros. tournaments using a standard double-elimination format that doesn’t care about margins of victory, at least the losing player is always incentivized to try to stop losing - unlike in fencing.

You could implement strcpy(a, b) as memcpy(a, b, strlen(b) + 1), but it would be slower, since it makes two separate passes over b (one to calculate the size, one to copy). The post seems to be arguing that in most cases where you would c

Probably because of the (very small) chance that Copilot could regurgitate something secret or embarrassing. Which is not necessarily hypocritical. The amount of copying needed for something to be copyright infringement is not high… but it

I think the article's claim is only valid if you expect future sales to be uncorrelated with past sales. Suppose that most of your revenue comes from recurring subscriptions of varying prices. Then, to use an extreme example for clari

The GPLv3 requires that if you distribute GPLv3 software as part of a consumer product, users must be able to install a modified version of the software in its place. If the baseband has GPLv3 software on it, then that implies the user ha

Definitely not without asking. But I think giving a yes/no prompt for whether to add the line is reasonable. One counter-argument might be that if the user doesn’t add it themselves, they’re less likely to remember where it is so they

Because the kernel intentionally panics [1] if the init process would otherwise exit in any way – whether because it called exit(), it was killed, or, in this case, it crashed. This is likely because Unix semantics treat the init process sp

Indeed, the example seems a little underwhelming. It does demonstrate that diffsitter can tell that `fn main() {` was not semantically changed at all, while still being able to cope with syntactically invalid code like `fn add_one {`. But l
