It would be funny as a project but there's better low speed backup options like a starlink dish on standby mode (500kbps)

A fork bomb can refer to any process that spawns multiple recursive child processes. You don't need fork to spawn more copies of yourself, that is merely the classic Unix implementation.

Year of the Linux Desktop began for me last year. All the games I play work, and that's mostly what I do at home. Work is also a Linux desktop, because our build system runs there anyways so may as well use it directly (though some sti

Unless your lookup table is small enough to only use a portion of your L1 cache and you're calling it so much that the lookup table is never evicted :)

I've never written a check, but I have had to deposit occasional checks. In the last 6 years the only checks I've received were first paychecks at a new job (before direct deposit was set up) and my covid stimulus checks.

In Washington voting is free. My ballot comes in the mail, I fill it out, I drop it in the outgoing mail. It's pre-stamped. I don't mind full citizenship verification at the time of registration, as that can be done months before

A couple weeks ago someone on my team tried using the experimental "vibe-lint" that someone else had added to our CI system and the results were hilariously bad. It left 10 plausible sounding review comments, but was anywhere from

If you operate over all of your data every time it's a lot more predictable ;)

Black box data doesn't need that crazy throughput either though. Traditional RF is much easier to get right, and works even when the aircraft starts losing track of where it is and stops being able to track the satellite with its laser

I write algorithms that operate on predictable amounts of data. It's very easy to work out the maximum amount of things we need to have and then allocate it all in fixed size arrays. If you allocate all your memory at startup you can n

The familiarity is great but the thing that really draws me to Plasma over Gnome is that the KDE developers seem to have an attitude of just implementing the features people want even if it's not perfect yet. Gnome is polished, but it&

I can't speak to actually setting it up, but where I work we have an IT-provided yubikey ssh-agent that handles getting all that stuff set up, and we just paste the public key from our individual yubikeys into our authorized ssh keys w

That's what I still do. Replacing auto with deduced type is one of my favorite clangd code actions.

The article is presenting something different entirely. This is the precursor to what it would take to create a compiler written in java that produces native code.

Regardless of whether you use JSON or Protobuf, the only way to be safe from version tears in your serialization format is to enforce backwards compatibility in your CI pipeline by testing the new version of your service creates responses t

Yeah everyone I've tried to introduce helix to who was already a vim master hated it. It's great for people who don't already have that muscle memory, I found the reversed selection->action model a lot more intuitive perso

I decided to finally learn a modal editor and installed Helix. Ideal for me since it's very hackable if you're already familiar with Rust. Very easy to build from source. Plus all I need is LSP support and I'm good at work, c

That's why this was the year I finally dropped Windows and VSCode forever. Not that hard for me because all the games I play work flawlessly in Proton, and I already used Linux at work.

Right, the 4g/day number is the amount that should be safe for any relatively healthy adult (minus whatever is making them take the medicine). I should hope it isn't too close to the number where you can cause permanent damage.

The side channel from memory access timings are exactly why cmov is its own instruction on x86_64. It retrieves the memory regardless of the condition value. Anything else would change the timings based on condition. If you're going to

It affects the minimum viable salary for a teacher to even be able to live in the city where you want to hire them to work, same for all the other support staff that make a school function.

Yep, unfortunately that's a big part of the reason I left for a more traditional tech role. The same skills are extremely valuable at any company writing performance critical software.

The number of services at my job that are just grpc wrappers for a database with endpoints that are only accessed by services that have their own connections open to the same database has been driving me insane.

My team reimplemented a stripped down binary of what our primary service does just so we could run it on our local machines. Otherwise it would take up well over 100GB of RAM. Iteration was a lot more annoying before we did that :)
