strlcpy is a BSD-ism that isn't in posix. The official recommendation is stpecpy. Unfortunately, it is only implemented in the documentation, but not available anywhere unless you roll your own: https://man7.org/linux&#

To follow up on that, I think that 50 year horizon number has even been the case for something well over 50 years now. It seems we are incentivized currently to extract from deposits around that threshold of years? One professor I had even

No, you need to make the AI endure torture, so that the human has a reason to value it. Say late nights with less power and a little extra heat to stress it. But the usefulness of an AI assistant is that it doesn’t have feelings or consciou

That is a curious take. Open source projects were flooded by dumb PRs before AI too, so what would it prove?

Dividing by 5 or 2, respectively, are integers, if the game developers wanted them to be. More so because the actual units of ammo need to be integers if they are to render as full bullets each

I’m somewhat curious why GOT and PLT are ever mapped readable these days, when it could have been only mapped readable and then glibc use one of the various API tricks that other JIT (ld.so is obviously a JIT too) often use to write to memo

That is the crux of the article premise: each synonym conveys similar denotations (principle component is I think what the article called it), but usually with some difference in connotations (the off axis contributions). You can nudge the

The Wikipedia equation there mentions the formula ignores the contribution of the internal resistance, which would make it proportional. It seems the article assumes that resistance is a significant contribution (possibly even just from the

Converting an algorithm implementation from recursive to iterative: it got the concept broadly right, but was quite bad at making the logic actually match up, often refusing to fix mistakes or reverting fixes two edits later. Still a positi

I thought watt is a DC unit, so often avoided for AC measurements, since it is ambiguous which watt you are talking about, and the device is always consuming more or less than the average, and very rarely consuming that actual amount. Often
