I've been using this for a few months now, and it's targeted to replace mlocate in Fedora in the next Fedora release: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Plocate_as_the_defaul... . I've been pret

I haven't followed exactly where they landed on this but both Firefox and Chrome have been testing user-agent strings with version 100+ for a while, and have (or at least had) a fall back mechanism to present the version as 99.xxx wher

Presumably someone tipped the SEC about this, so they just had to go and verify the trades and then ask Twilio for chat logs. The report actually mentions exactly which SEC employees led the investigation, and it wasn't a huge team.

It could also have been the case that they were just bragging to friends or people at bars/parties about it, but either way I agree that it's much more likely that someone heard about it and then tipped off the SEC.

Fuchsia does a lot of interesting/new things, but the primary motivation for Fuchsia was to make it possible to update the OS independently of drivers. Everyone complains when their Android devices stop receiving software updates, an

I'm not disagreeing with you, but this is kind of a moot point since the main selling point of Guile was always performance. AFAIK it was never the plan to actually make Emacs use Scheme rather than Elisp---the semantics of the languag

Linux does support mixed page sizes (that's how huge pages work) and the page size isn't even detectable by userspace user than through sysconf(3) or getpagesize(2) so I'm not sure why a program wouldn't be compatible wi

GCC and Clang aren't super aggressive with DCE (dead code elimination) because most of the time the complex cases for DCE have essentially no impact on run time performance, and may be expensive to implement (i.e. significantly increas

Generally things that run faster are more power efficient, because the CPU has to run for less time to do the same work. There might be a few odd exceptions here and there, e.g. certain AVX instructions can use a lot of power, but they&#x27

For most posts the top comment will be a complete non sequitur reaction based purely on the headline of the post. For example, if the post is about C++ the top comment is often some knee jerk comment about Rust or OO or something, even if t

This is wrong for a few reasons. It is common to try to fit TCP packets into 1500 bytes (minus the bytes for the IP and TCP headers) because 1500 bytes is a common MTU for Ethernet, but this isn't a limitation of TCP, it's just so

If it was a lab leak, presumably the people at the Wuhan lab would have DNA sequences on the coronavirus strains they were experimenting with. Even if they weren't doing this on a regular basis one would have to imagine that they would

All C corporations have a board of directors, not just publicly listed companies. If the BoD wanted to push to change the license they could have done that years ago.

The main problem with the bat hypothesis is that with SARS and MERS, wild animal populations that very closely matched those coronaviruses were quickly found. For example, with SARS it was very quickly identified that there were SARS infect

Can you elaborate on "what Google has been doing to C++"? Google has a couple of members on C++ working groups including WG21 but I'm not even remotely under the impression that C++ governance is controlled by Google.

This is true, but I don't think it's likely that NATO would admit Ukraine. For example, look at Georgia's history of trying to join NATO. For over a decade now Georgia has been a huge ally of NATO and Coalition forces (e.g. i

Among other reasons, people's fear for their safety may be driven by reasons that aren't rational. For example, someone who is afraid to drive into neighborhoods that have a high percentage of black residents even when the neighbo

As I understand it the CoW support is for (optionally) taking filesystem snapshots before/after applying package upgrades, I don't think it inherently makes disk I/O more efficient. There are some other neat tricks that dnf d
