Ticket systems are quite ephemeral. I still have access to commit messages from the 90s (and I didn't work on the software at the time). I haven't been able to track the contents of the gnats bug tracker from those days. And of co

The commit message should complement the code. Ideally, what the code does should not need a separate description, but of course there can be exceptions. Usually, it's more interesting to capture in the commit message what is not in th

They made the Morello research CPUs, but did not sell them. The Acorn/Arm history is somewhat complicated due to the Arm IPO, I think.

Maybe the trans men issue gets less attention because they have already been excluded from both women's and men's events? I assume trans men are administered testosterone as part of their medical care, and that's already univ

Is it really programmers doing this, though? These auto-closing policies usually originate from somewhere else.

Isn't that more the U.S. evangelical view of Christianity? (Although obviously there are of course Jewish thinkers who believe in ethnic superiority, but many also reject it.)

Is “we” referring to the United States? Sheldon Adelson's backing helped Netanyahu a lot, and not just by funding the free Israel Hayom newspaper (which generally assumes a right-wing, pro-Netanyahu editorial stance).

SHLX does not support an immediate operand. Non-destructive shifts with immediate operands only arrive with APX, where they are among the most commonly used instructions (besides paired pushes/pops).

It's more about the non-destructive destination part, which can avoid a move. Compilers tend to prefer SHL/SAL of LEA because its encoding is shorter: https://godbolt.org/z/9Tsq3hKnY

It allows review of the way the merge conflict has been resolved (assuming those changes a tracked and presented in a useful way). This can be quite helpful when backporting select fixes to older branches.

To make this more confusing, there is a fast mode of Opus 4.6, which (as far as I understand it) is supposed to deliver the same results as the standard mode. It's much more expensive, but advertised as more interactive.

COBOL certainly had a lasting impact, but only for some application domains. The rest didn't seem to be particularly successful or impactful. Maybe RAD if you consider office application macros and end user report generation in it. (Sp

The last time I've used a check was close to thirty years ago. I assume ahartmetz's experience is similar. Many countries have functioning giro systems. The U.S. is just an outlier.

You can still override malloc and call __libc_malloc if you do not want to bother with dlsym/RTLD_NEXT. These function aliases are undocumented, but for a quick experiment, that shouldn't matter.

As a U.S. consumer, can you buy a DVR that can record HDCP streams (without importing it yourself from a different country)? Even one that does not automatically edit out ads?
