I don't think you are; this story condensed into a 150 second clip would fit great into sketch comedy (Mitchell and Webb?).

m4 is orders of magnitude slower (notice the different unit). If you write the Python script using bytes (not Unicode), then Python 3 is faster than Python 2, at least for me. Python 3 is 20 % slower than GNU yes and Python 2 35 % slower th

Hot snot gets icky with time, rather use a conformal coating; they're available in spray-form as well (e.g. CRC Urethan or Plastik 70). That being said FR4 is a really tough material and it's quite difficult to pry SMD parts off.

I'd argue that this depends a lot how the code is structured. Back in the day of Win32 and MFC it was not unusual at all to very tightly integrate logic and the UI, often even outsourcing parts of state machines to GUI controls etc.; s

> Qt is an easy sell on fresh projects, but switching a large existing codebase is huge. There have been a lot of major projects ported to Qt over the years, both commercial and open source (e.g. Wireshark, Subsurface).

The structure of a problem specifies it; an unstructured problem is less well-specified, and that makes it intuitively more difficult to approach. E.g. summation of a column of decimal numbers is a highly structured problem that's very

At least some of these devices don't have that option.

Python has had closures for a long time, which make great ad-hoc factories that can capture state from upstream functions without making state visible along the way.

Well, pure DI also has practical downsides. E.g. anything that wants to log something has to be able to access the logging configuration — so it needs to be passed into everything.

Technology isn't intrinsically good or evil. It's how it's used, like the death ray.

RSTDISABLE means that no in-circuit programming is possible any more and for re-flashing a parallel HV programmer is required; it's quite annoying for tinkering.

Does Rust support FMV (function multi-versioning)?

const does not imply pure. If applied to a member function, it makes this const; if applied to types it makes types const. Purity is a different concept. The closest match would probably be constexpr.

(attic) borg check --repository-only does not transfer any data except informational logs. This is CRC32 only [1]. Borg 1.1 beta has borg check --verify-data, which does full decryption & full MAC + ID checks -- by downloading all data.

Yes, that's right, concurrent addition of the same chunks would generally mean that some work is wasted; so concurrent long running jobs would not synchronize well in this model, and lock-free performs clearly better there. The only

The verdict of the "open source competition" in Duplicacy's README is not entirely accurate. Exclusive locking in the sync'd approach is just the easiest implementation, not the sole possibility. I can't speak for o

Not related at all. (Duplicacy != Duplicity) Duplicity is a pretty straight good old-fashioned incremental backup program. Duplicacy on the other hand is hash-based deduplication (BorgBackup / Attic, Restic etc. are some others). The d

There is the latent question of how this works with B&W printers which are still frequently found in offices. I assume that all of these have a similar technique, just sans the colour. I did notice some scattered black dots on a Kyocera

I heard that before, I think it's a tactic to bully people into buying more ink they don't need. Ensuring tracking dots is maybe just an unfortunate side effect .

macOS does not seem like an OS that has been optimized much at all in regards to the CPU. Also, Apple dragged macOS from PPC to x86; switching x86 implementations is no big deal for the rest of the world, it surely should not be a challenge
