   You're not a failure though. Just to make that clear.

   I'm in Australia, so I almost never see stories as they start rising. :D And I may have locked my last account (i336_) a while back by setting "noprocrast" to a ridiculous value, which I TIL that day actually is not fixable.

   No, you're right. The statement is an exclamation of being overwhelmed by the irony of a situation, and irony itself is... slightly editing Wikipedia's definition for clarity, it's "an event in which what appears to be t

   Staring into space can occasionally be useful: I just remembered that I nearly forgot about this. I just replied (as you may have already noticed). Thanks for the info. I'm not quite sure how much investigation I'll need to do, bu

   I just did some back-of-the-envelope math. The biggest ping time I see is just under 4 seconds. With milliseconds, that translates into a 7-digit string if you pretend the first 4 digits are the integer part and the last 3 are the fraction.

   Interesting. I need to do some deep diving on LZ myself, to build a highly-compressible custom file format. Would benchmarks from a really old laptop be useful for #98 ?

   This is awesome. I'm very curious what sort of crazy amount of spam gets fed into that unprotected text box though.

   FWIW, the site design is really nice. I like the brown, and the use of all-caps for the site name. And of course 5 seconds is how fast it should be :P EDIT: Wondered what constructive criticism I could add, in case it was useful. I guess

    EDIT: I've noticed all the replies and I'd like to acknowledge them. Unfortunately I feel very stupid for not screenshotting what I saw when I searched one hour ago. I now see 62,900 results, and I can load up to page 6. I can&#x2

    I think this response is the kind of thing that goes with the " 7 million+ software licenses sold, almost 2,000 customers worldwide " text noted in the article. This response does not hide the concrete facts of the situation, whic

    Yup, I remember on Win98 when I was playing video I could open Paint's color picker, target it at the Windows Media Player window, move Paint over the top of WMP, do a flood-fill with my new color, and voila, Paint was playing my movie

    Oh wow. The 8 seconds is Twitch?! Yikes. I am unfortunately completely ignorant of how you actually send data to Twitch, but can you use H264? It has an "ultra-low latency" mode. Edit: Hmm, you're on OBS. Maybe you could stre

    Okay, I've been watching this for a few minutes, and... the 8 second delay is FAR too long. Doom is simply too interactive. You need to be able to control it in realtime. I recommend three things: - Slow the delay right down, and possi

    > how long will it take for ZFS to mount it? What? How long would it take, roughly? Genuinely curious.

    Could that be mitigated by redesigning the chassis for slightly less density in order to fit massive rubber standoffs/grommets?

    I'm planning on doing a tiny ZFS pool (once I've finally saved up for it - financials can be fun sometimes!), and was thinking of doing FreeBSD for ZFS and Linux for everything else on top of Xen. I'm currently unsure how to

    From 5 minutes of googling it looks to me like it's been collectively quietly moved on from, but that it's not broken. Put it this way: it's in Boost. Boost is an established standard. If a library in Boost suddenly stopped w

    Oh, another C compiler! I like collecting these - thanks! :) Question for anyone handing out unofficial legal opinions: This one is dual-licensed. There are a small kerfuffle of custom licenses that say "no commercial use", but ev

    Ah, I forgot tcc. Such an amazing system, so sad that development stalled. FWIW, I think tcc compiles into RAM, then jmp-s to the result. Pretty much just eliminates the creation of an output file.

    I'm aware of PicoC, Cling (nee CINT), and Ch (commercial), but that's only three. What others are there? I'm curious about canonical C interpreters as well as things that aren't quite interpreting C but are somehow relat

    OH. You're right. I got the terminology confused with, uh... shredding. Heh. I actually tried to delete this comment for unrelated reasons shortly after posting it, but was unable to. Now I feel doubly stupid.

    If you're on an SSD/MTD/NVMe, you have TRIM, and scrubbing is a no-op no matter what approach you try. You need a spinning HDD for scrubbing to be useful. Here is one way to do simple, secure scrubbing on Linux without any in
