For the record, this is how lowercase l and uppercase I show up here: https://prnt.sc/258zzy0

Good point, Turkish uppercases i to İ. This adds complexity to the idea of case insensitive file systems even when only considering ASCII.

The GP's stated benefits are listed directly on the main page of the NixOS website, and was in reply to a comment about Nix in NixOS. You seem to be talking about using Nix standalone; if you are, the GP's comment does not necessa

The primary advantage for me is simplicity. Case insensitive file systems are complicated when you start dealing with non-ASCII characters and different software implementing the case rules with subtle differences. With case sensitive file

And this matters a lot because history is normally only accessible to the current user (and root), but process command line arguments are normally accessible to all users.

The problem upthread was stated correctly. The video shows the solution for a similar but different problem.

Is it all opponents of immigration that are branded Nazis, or is it just those that regard foreigners as sub-human and refer to their countries as shitholes?

You weren't talking about legal workers, you were specifically talking about, this is an exact quote, "illegals working below minimum wage". That's what I was responding to. If you also have issues with people "from

No one was talking about bitwise equality though. Bitwise equality means positive and negative zero do not compare as equal, and some NaNs compare as equal while others don't, in ways that will vary according to exactly where those NaN

If people come to a different country to make a better life for themselves than they would in the countries they were originally from, what's wrong with that? If you're regarding them as sub-humans who don't deserve to work t

We can tell that 100/78 is somewhere between 100/75 and 100/80, which we can do in our heads as somewhere between 1.33 and 1.25.

The point is that the bug is unexploitable on x86 because although the source code may have a bug, on x86 it gets compiled to machine code that does not. That's the thing with undefined behaviour, sometimes it does work exactly as you

What's next, Star Trek's idea of dilithium not matching reality either?

by hvdijk 5y ago
As in, either could be the original, and as we have no way of telling them apart it does not matter which? Okay, that sounds reasonable. However, if we know that at least one of them is a clone, we know that transporters are built with the

by hvdijk 5y ago
In TNG, we have a story where a transporter malfunction results in two Rikers. They cannot both be the original Riker, and there is nothing to point to one of them being the original over the other, so the logical conclusion seems to me to

The idea of PWAs is that you make them once and they'll work on all platforms. The reality doesn't quite live up to that idea as this thread shows, but to me the idea to have single-platform PWAs still seems so odd that I would no

The claim was "no one wants x", the reply "I want x", your counter "others don't want x" as an attempt to dismiss the reply. That is unfair, the original claim that no one wants it was wrong and it was cor

Your GP didn't just mention Rust, they also mentioned C# and Java, so when your parent refers to GC the more charitable interpretation is that they were using C# or Java and responding to that part of the message.

There are a few other cases where it applies as well, but you're right that it doesn't apply to investment properties. Also, it's no longer always a full write off, it's a write off at a capped rate. Those with low incom

Haha, sure, and the other way around, time is spent constructing the compile-time type info for the pimpl class. Let's ignore both since the impact would be so small it would almost certainly be drowned out by all the random noise that

by hvdijk 5y ago
Ah, that's what you meant. Your previous comment reads as if an opaque class results in faster compilation than a void pointer, but those are the same as far as that goes, and you were comparing both to a non-pimpl version.

> This isn't just for hiding, it also gives you faster compilation. That seems unlikely. What are you basing this on?
