   This is horrible. I ... will keep not doing it that way. Screen readers can read just the title attribute.

   If they can "obviously write like anyone", why do they universally write like crap? Wouldn't the AI companies want them to write like someone who can write

   I genuinely did not understand that you were asking for documentation. I believe GNU follows the SysV ABI on amd64: https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/elf/x86_64-abi-0.95.pdf

   You're gonna have to be more verbose, sorry.

   Here's (my modified version of) an example someone came up with on lobste.rs: https://godbolt.org/z/e69b4Tqbs I don't know exactly which optimization passes do what, but a few observations: * The 'foo(un

    But ... surely Sutter ought to know better than to say "because the hardware handles this conversion reasonably, it's a benign case of UB"? Surely he knows that compilers can and will optimize based on the assumption that U

    Again, I don't know (and never claimed to know) everything that's good and everything that's bad. But I do know some things that are good and some things that are bad.

    No, I meant what I wrote. Some things are good, some things are bad. Some people are wrong. There are plenty of subjective areas where people can disagree without being fundamentally bad people. These things are not those.

    Again, I don't subscribe to moral relativism. Some things are good, some things are bad.

    Some legislation is good, some legislation is bad. Legislation allowing gay people to be gay is good. Legislation enforcing hardware attestation from Google and Apple to access services is bad. These are facts, not opinions; I'm not a

    I've literally seen this in HN responses as well, so many times. What the hell is the point of human interaction if the "human" just forwards a chat bot's response

    A good way to prevent this anti-EU sentiment would've been to not go through with these obviously stupid ideas. Weird that the EU doesn't seem to realize? Or do you think, maybe, that there's a deeper issue here and the probl

    And that's why musl's allocator's performance isn't a huge concern for ripgrep

    There is no ISO C definition of opendir(), that's a POSIX thing. But yeah, those DIR objects which opendir() returns a pointer to are probably some kind of heap allocated. But we're talking about a system call involving the filesy

    The way most programs achieve being fast is by re-using allocations. You don't need a fast allocator if you don't allocate. Nothing of what ripgrep does inherently requires frequent allocations.

    I would expect 7500 to translate into 0.85 years though, not 7.

    That jpeg2png is extremely cool and looks like something which could be built in to image viewers. Naturally, nothing about the "maximally smooth decode" process requires the output to be PNG.

    Do you keep your light on constantly? I used to have a lamp that I kept replacing bulbs for "all the time". I didn't understand why since the light bulbs claimed to last for years and years. One day I read the light bulb pack

    by mort96 2mo ago

    It seems like a pretty normal local maximum situation, no? It's a solution which works "well enough" and means all light bulbs work in all light fixtures and all light fixtures work with all light bulbs. It would be better if

    I think we're giving too much credit to audiophiles. We're talking people who might have discussions on their forums about whether audio buffers in memory allocated with malloc or in memory allocated with C++'s `new` sounds b

    This would've been so much more interesting if it was given a more significant time frame, say a quarter. I mean the experiment could just be a few days, but the prompt ought to have at least given the impression that it was a longer p
