I wish I understood the reason for the `std::define_static_array`... Why can't `std::meta::enumerators_of` just return something that can be iterated through????

How do you setcap without root?

The difficult thing for these standards is the data rate. 4k 240Hz is the same data rate as 8k 60Hz (since 8k is 4x the number of pixels as 4k). If you want to support 8k 60Hz, the only reason you wouldn't also support 4k 240Hz would

Wait "forbids", present tense? How does that track with this announcement that it's coming to the open source AMDGPU?

It's extremely rare that I install a dependency without executing code from it shortly after. I think postinstall scripts are unfortunate and an anti-pattern, but I don't realistically think that their removal would do very much t

Yes, that would be one potential solution. But I have certainly never done it and bet >99.999% of the world's use of sudo is through 'sudo'. Plus you only need one slip-up and you're hosed. Even people who try to al

Bah waking up today to notice a typo, after the edit window. "And both C++ and Rust inherit some ... aspects" was of course meant to be "And both C++ and Zig inherit some ... aspects".

The original claim is one of determinism. Your use of the term "downstream" is hiding the distinction; it can be read in either way, so it bridges the gap between the position you want to defend ("using Zig causes a higher pr

No, that's provably false by a fairly simple existence proof. If it was true that using C results in an "extremely high amount of crashes/memory bugs", we would expect to not find any substantial pieces of software wri

by mort96 6mo ago
"Downstream of" is doing a lot of work in that sentence. Language has an effect on, but in no way determines, the reliability of software written in it.
401.
by mort96 6mo ago
The point is that the "extremely high amount of crashes/bugs" is maybe not the fault of Zig after all, as was implied.
402.
by mort96 6mo ago
It's not hallucination, it's a basic extrapolation. "Bun has had an extremely high amount of crashes/memory bugs due to them using Zig" is the same statement as "using Zig resulted in Bun having an extremely hi

I don't know how the US does it, but at least where I'm from, major border crossings (be it a road or an airport or something else) typically always have a place you can go to declare goods you're importing. That's where

by mort96 6mo ago
AFAIU, import duties aren't really something you're necessarily "charged" as much as it's something you have a legal obligation to pay. Sure, maybe you could buy a car in Canada and bring it in to the US without pay

BYD has been making batteries since '95, cars since '05, plug-in hybrids since '08 and EVs since '09. I don't doubt that China may have made use of Musk, but I severely doubt he's the one who "taught them

I didn't know that about zstd, that's a bit unfortunate. Tar isn't related here though, we're talking about compression not archival formats
409.
by mort96 6mo ago
What about pushing? Computers are fast enough to compress stuff as it's being transmitted, you don't need to store the compressed copy anywhere...
410.
by mort96 6mo ago
If that's the purpose, couldn't you store the hash and throw away the compressed image? (As others said, compression is deterministic for the same algorithm, parameters and input data)

You look at a fab landscape where the number of leading fabs has been dwindling as the decades go by, to the point where the only two players left are Intel and TSMC AMD even Intel is clearly struggling to keep up, and you think a good solu

This is decent advice on an individual level. Despite the fact that you probably can't sell your doomed house for a lot due to the current situation, planning a move is probably a good idea for those who can afford it. But it's no

Is that ... just a wall wart with a screen on it? Why is that relevant? EDIT: Wait no it's a carousel of completely unrelated products because the page redirected (without my input) to https://ankernordics.com/ .

Should we not expect phones to last more than 3-4 years? We aren't in the exponential performance growth and requirements part of the smartphone world anymore, a 5-7 year old phone can be a perfectly functional device. Isn't it un

We need a more efficient way to eliminate bullshit patents or bullshit patent infringement claims than "violate them then spend millions on lawyers to fight them in court".

I didn't say all distros should be notified, for that exact reason. I listed a handful of major fistros.
