I suppose that still begs the question somewhat, since the US does have 240V (2 phase) already driving many appliances. Why hasn’t it ever become standard for luxury kitchens to have a European-style outlet for use with a European kettle? I

It was implementation defined for shifting negative numbers, but now the standard specifies twos-complement for this and all related IB

Gotcha. I remember those not working well. I believe all newer models still do that too since 2016, but just not the UI (force touch was mostly only on phones in my recollection). It can be used as a fairly accurate kitchen scale even: htt

Which does pull into question the future stability or quality of bun. As much as I don’t think nodejs should ban AI, the quality of some recent robobun AI commit message and code quality looked like hallucinated slop to me.

Not sure exactly which company you are referring to, but Apples clickpads haven’t had any moving parts for a long time—there is just a force sensor and a physical actuator to make it vibrate when tapped that makes it feel as if it moved. Bu

But also internal space is increasing cubically—so any reason it couldn’t have mutated to have 2 hearts servicing each side of the body? You could also claim our bodies have massive surface area, molecularly speaking. We just are factory-co

We got gifted a toy dog that could sing the alphabet, which was annoying, but acceptable. Its other stock phrase was ‘I love you’. We got rid of it pretty quickly.

That is an impressive number of graphs and very cool! I wonder if the author would consider repeating with KDE plots instead of splines, so the pretty shape of the curves has some statistical meaning also

I don’t think it is just a hardware issue: Windows still just maps all movements and scrolling directly into pixels and lines. Most programs just slightly blur the viewport when scrolling to hide the latency, but that just adds even more la

I think macOS applications feel like they have mostly updated to use the native resolution, so arbitrary scaling works great now. My comparative experience with a new Windows laptop is how I remember macOS felt when they first made high den

Reminder to others that $20k is the one time startup cost, and is amortized perhaps 2-4k/year (plus power). That is in the realm of a mere gym membership around me for a family

A few recent examples: many distros changed the flag for emuTLS on Windows, which gcc implemented as a hard ABI break for no essential reason. If you compile for enough platforms, it will print various notes that various alignments have cha

Seems in line with their original purpose still. They seemed to always want to be a source to suggest a product that is good enough for a consumer, to help avoid decision paralysis, and avoid fake products that are both expensive and flawed

I'd be willing to sell you a rust to rust compiler. In fact, I'll even generalize it to do all sorts of other languages too at no extra charge. I just need a good name...maybe rsync? Snark aside, the output targets of compilers ne

Sounds like why LLVM was created? (and derivatives like MLIR and NaCL) Its IR is intended be be C-like, except that everything is well-defined and substantially more expressive than C.

But think about it this way: something simple like Slack charges $9/month/person and companies already pay that on many behalf. How hard would it be to imagine all those same companies (and lots more) would pay $30/month&#x2F

I believe the spec intends that a decent mail handler is required to scan the text and make sure the delimiter is not present or pick a different one. Or use a different encoding (eg base64) to prevent conflicts if you want streaming abilit

Reading the comment thread here made me realize the idea seems to be that having 2 just means double the probability of one of them failing in some undetectable way. The resulting error magnitude is reduced by half, but the probability of t

libuv is more nearly designed for adding IOCP-like support to epoll systems than epoll to IOCP (though it can approximate either direction), so adding io_uring was already straightforward, by design Aside: the wepoll mentioned in this repo

You apparently can donate to PyPI more directly if you want (same popup, but redirects to a more specific donation site), though since that site is run by PSF, that money goes through PSF and it is unclear if it is earmarked along the way:

This seems to be a story written for the HN audience, rather than for the core user base. Despite a long trend of predictions of Windows demise, it is still very much here and healthy as a platform for user install. I could also write the s

The spec and some sanitizers use a scalar loop (because they need to avoid mistakenly detecting UB), but real world libc seem unlikely to use a scalar loop.
