It says "(including memory)". It's pretty natural to read this as "(including the contents of allocated pages)".

The problem with fork isn't really that it's slow. The problem is that if you want it to be not-slow, it locks you into a bunch of OS design decisions: you more or less need a memory subsystem where all writable pages are refcount

Oh, that's much worse! The JSON string `{"a":9007199254740993}` decodes to the object `{"a":9007199254740992}` with typical JSON parsers like JavaScript's `JSON.parse`.

And then you end up with strings on the other side, not numbers.

Completely and utterly irrelevant.

I hate this so much because you can’t nicely serialise a BigInt as JSON. Using a string is nicer but it only makes sense where int64 is used as an ID, not where it’s used as a number; and you don’t wanna have to configure this per field

And even if you don't need WiFi + BLE for a particular project, you may need it for other projects, and it might have value for you to standardise on one ecosystem.

This looks like the long-awaited replacement for the original ESP32. The S and C series have been relatively low performance (the S better than the C but stuck on the outgoing Xtensa architecture), the P4 is powerful but lacks wireless. Thi

They are. But the experience of using a MacBook Pro for pretty much any purpose other than gaming is that they’re entirely silent. To the point that it’s an exceptional circumstance when a build job is so intense and so long running tha

Oh and another thing I just learned: it seems like the reason there are so many test suite commits recently is ... Tridge got Claude to rewrite all the tests in Python and delete the old shell test suite: https://github.com/
342.
by mort96 5mo ago
I think that’s misleading. Yes, almost all commits co-authored by Claude lately are about test suite and CI, but that’s just because almost all commits lately are about test suite and CI. The commits which aren’t test suite and CI are also

Yeah those "animated" turn signal fades make me irrationally angry. Why??? What's wrong with the standard signal? While we're at it, keep them orange. Nobody wants to spend a second of uncertainty trying to figure out if

I know it works like that, the part about "clicking allow'" was a slight oversimplification which doesn't change the point. Do users understand the security implications of giving access to a device in the pop-up? I don&

Staying one point release behind is weird isn’t it? I get staying a major release behind, Apple’s x.0 releases are often pretty rough so it might be worth staying on x-1 for a while. But point releases mostly just fix the stuff they bro

Please don't pretend I'm turning this into a "political debate". Your position is, "Kagi ought to keep doing business with Russia". That in itself is highly political. No side of this issue is apolitical.

Censorship of search results and deciding which companies to do business with are two completely separate topics.

Yandex isn't just a "Russian language search engine", it's a Russian company with quite close ties to the Kremlin. See: https://www.zois-berlin.de/en/publications/zois-spotlight/th... I&#x

The worry is real: there has historically not been a meaningful security barrier between a USB device and software running on the machine it's connected to. Firmware hasn't been developed with the assumption that the machine is ma

I like that your comment, which is at the very top of this comment section, quotes a statement concerning Web USB, Web Bluetooth, Web NFC and Web MIDI. The linked post is about WebSerial. The concerns about Web USB, Web Bluetooth, Web NFC a

Do you genuinely think that support staff reads "this decision made by AMD is disgraceful" and feel personally attacked because they identify as "part of AMD" and therefore an attack on AMD's honor is an attack on

Why should Windows be different?

You're kind of doing the job for them here by inventing a connection between Linux and "simple, entry-level needs". Plenty of Linux users have "simple, entry-level needs"; nothing about using Windows automatically m

Yea insulting and being verbally abusive towards individuals is something that it's worth taking action against. My problem with AMD's response is simply that they take issue with "bad language or abusive behavior towards

by mort96 5mo ago
The official replies started off by addressing ... the "unacceptable abusive behavior towards AMD". The most important thing here is obviously to ask people not to use such hurtful words as "disgraceful" towards poor lit

So much wrong with your comment. 1: The software is not free. There is what essentially amounts to a free trial. This free trial used to support Windows and Linux. Now the free version only supports Windows, only the paid tiers work on Linu

Wait what do you mean by "file a copyright"? I have never heard of this, all explanations of copyright I have heard say that you automatically own the copyright to the things you make; and that "all rights are reserved"

An LLM answer is not "better", it's in a completely different category. LLM answers can be useful , for topics where you can easily verify a fact (i.e if you ask for a Linux command and it gives you one, you can run it and s
