I am on the opposite side. For the last few months I don't listen to music unless it's AI generate. I can feel the difference.

LGPL allows compiling the whole of ffmpeg into a so or lib and then dynamically linking from there for your closed source code. That's the main difference between LGPL and GPL. But if you change or add something in building ffmpeg.so t

After the year 2000. dot com burst. An tech employee posted he looked for job for 6 months, found none and has joined a fast food shop flipping burgers. That turned tech workers switching to "flipping burgers" into a meme.

I think it's ok. When wikipedia arrived, everyone was up in arms that people are learning from something that's open for anyone to edit. But it rectified itself. The same thing happened when Internet arrived. "Don't beli

Is mmap still faster than fread? That might have been true in the 90s but I was wondering about current improvements. If you have enough free memory, the file will be cached in memory anyway instead of residing on disk. Therefore both will

Looking at the graphs, I would recommend it would have been better to market it as "just as performant as nginx and htproxy" instead of "faster than all ...". While highlighting the simplicity as the added benefit above

Last I checked, Erlang strings were represented internally as a linked list of integers, one int for every character. That worked, but I felt like not every efficient, as web is very text heavy. Has that changed in the later versions?

Might be related with what the article was talking. AI can't cut-paste. It deletes the code and then regenerates it at another location instead of cut-paste. Obviously generated code drift a little from deleted ones.

Configure google to forward mails to your self hosted server. When replying reply from your self hosted server. That way you can gradually shift over. I had been self hosting like this for years.

I don't know what others are reading. The article basically says that when you have multiple suppliers or consumers, the "order" of the queue loses meaning. It turns into an "unordered" pool of data. Therefore focus

I read "slow" and "fast" in the article as comparative term. "slower than" what the writer has seen in other cases. Absolute ms doesn't prove much unless you put it in comparison with other best.

You review the code and found it broken. Then what? - Rewrite it yourself? - Tell AI to generate it again? — will lead to worse code than the first. - Write the long prompt (like 6 page) even longer and hope it works this time?

Did the same, with the following differences : - tab separator instead of space. you don't need cut -d with tabs. tab is the default separator for cut. - use xsel -b to capture clipboard data while adding. Copy the URL into from browse

The birthday paradox simplified : if you generate n bits of random data, you can at most generate n/2 bits of random numbers before clashes start to occur. That's square root of number's range. So if you need 1000 random numb

I tried to emulate something similar with PHP at one point. But the problem with PHP was parameter order. Especially in functions like array_key_exists() the array element is the 2nd parameter, while pipe operator expects the object to work

Maybe it's me, but I think IPv6 should have been 8 bytes instead of 16 and somewhat backward compatible with IPv4. Like how 2-byte Unicode was struggling and UTF-8 saved it.
