Your question can actually be answered legally. I'm not a lawyer so I'm not going to tell you what those answers are, but there are pretty well established mechanisms to determine if a function is trivial enough to warrant being c

But copyright law doesn't really care about how you prevent infringement, just that it doesn't happen. Isn't it up to Github to come up with a way to do it, or otherwise not do it at all?

Oh I don't really care about it other than from a nostalgia point of view. I started using Linux at 0.99 or so. I don't think I've used anything but ELF since it was introduced. And recent developments have shown that ELF is

by lokedhs 4y ago
I'm pretty sure it started out as a file name, it being the default output name of the C compiler in Unix. It didn't become the name of a format until Linux, and I think it really didn't get that name until ELF was introduced

What I meant was that the people who still want it can maintain it. Or at least fund someone to do the maintenance. The point was that just because it's removed from the kernel doesn't mean it has to disappear if there is still in

It would be possible to maintain this as a lodable module out of tree if needed, so even me, who's all in favour of keeping all the old stuff, can agree that it makes sense to not have it in the kernel.

I think this attitude, and even more relevant, those of the ones in the comments to that article, is something I have only seen in the US. It would appear that this stuff is politicised to a degree not seen anywhere else.

The part where he explains how a binary tree can be unbalanced, and when, was really surprising to me. Never assume that just because your accesses are random that the tree will remain balanced on average.

I agree on the section on linear lists. It was really eye opening for me back when I read it the first time. It's remarkable how much useful information there is about such a seemingly simple concept.

My first connection was 1200 bps, and now I have 2 Gb/s. That's over 1 million times faster. Downloading a program for my Atari ST at maybe 500 kB in size took an hour. Now it would be difficult to even measure the time needed. It

Wasn't this struck down by the EU recently?

I did something similar when I started working at my first job. I came into the office and had two of those pills out of habit. Then kept the jar sitting at my desk. Just like you, I realised that perhaps it wasn't the best idea since

In the US perhaps. Here in Singapore they are still impossible to get unless you go through grey importers and pay the premium for it. And even then it's a coin toss whether you'll actually get it or not. Once I decided to pay the

That's what it's supposed to do. Well, perhaps not prevent it, but add oversight and the ability to appeal. The US is obviously not going to do this, so whatever agreement they come up with is bound to be struck down just like the

Last time I tried it, it didn't crash but after taking the lift and walked around the space station for a while I got bored. Apparently there's a game in there somewhere but I couldn't find it. Apparently there is a way to ac

You got me. I actually was thinking about what could go in it, but this is one template that actually takes work to do, so of course I didn't actually finish it.

It's heavily CPU intensive code that needs to perform async operations on rare occasions. Since async adds overhead in every function call, code that calls a lot of functions will be slower. The problem with the Kotlin implementation i

It's a meme template. The gp post didn't spend time to actually complete it, which is disappointing because it could be very funny.

Kotlin adds a huge overhead for async code. I measured over 50% slower for function heavy code. The otherwise problem is that you end up with two worlds, the non-async ad the async ones, and they can't really call each other without a

The part you quoted seems pretty clear. It's implementation defined. That's why it works done on most modern architectures, but you can't rely on it in portable code, as there are certainly architectures where it doesn't

The best feature of sponsorblock is the "skip to highlight" feature, which skips to the part of the video you actually want to see.

The amount of magic flags needed to get JavaFX working is ridiculous. I'm working on a Kotlin application with a JavaFX UI and I have to rely on Gradle to get it all working. Even then, when I wanted to get some wodgets from controlsfx

You're definitely right about that. Most people think of UML as a notation for relationships between components, and it's useful to have a syntax that people can agree on so it's clear what you're drawing on the whiteboa

Perhaps it does. When I use the pedal the display shows a amount of regen power. However, as I press harder there is no obvious transition where the actual brakes take effect. It feels completely natural, which is why I thought it applied t

The Kia Niro is available in three models: Petrol, Hybrid and EV. Now, I have the EV and it doesn't have any gears, but I'm pretty sure there is a lot of things shared between these cars.

I have the Niro EV, and it was my first EV. The paddle shifters are amazing, and you get used to them very quickly. I recently rented another EV and I was surprised it wasn't there. Most of the time I can drive without even touching th

I can think of one specific case. At some point, it all of a sudden wasn't possibly to disable cursor blinking in gnome-terminal anymore. It's fixed now, but it took years and absolutely no admission that perhaps they didn't

Outside of the US and a few other English-speaking countries? Not really. In Europe, US keyboards are nowhere to be found (the UK uses a different layout).
