It'll be $2.19 after lawyers fees, but only if you fill out a hour worth of paperwork.

For mass extinctions there is the common explanation that it takes a long time after each extinction before enough diversity is built up again for another major extinction. For example after the current Anthropocene one we likely won't

So Amazon has no teams that write simple libraries for other teams? I imagine now that somewhere in amazon there is a "qsort" REST API that does all the sorting.

Besides log()'s implementation is certainly not branch-less. It's the ostrich approach: if you don't see the branches they don't matter.

Do other mobile ad networks have a working appeal system? It seems doubtful because of the same dynamic the article describes. Any working appeal system would teach people how to game them. The ironic part here is that Google is essentially

That assumes that you don't need to drive? 10 hours of active driving is something completely different than 20 hours being a passenger/sightseer (of which I would spend significant part asleep or reading) In fact I don't thi

I always saw ICMP blocking easy ability test for the firewall configuration person. If they block them this means they have no clue about the protocols they're configuring, and it's safe to assume that they likely got other things

Okay so why is their payroll so low if it's a real deli? Dodgy accounting? Or maybe the coach does all the work for free?

If it had been written in rust or go, we already would have hundreds of MB worth of systemd binaries on our disks, like some other popular packages. People all the time complain about systemd bloat, but it's very likely that in those l

"Accessing your serial console is only 0.04$/per character, except if you bid on peak console then ..." I made that up, but it would totally not surprise anyone, would it?

Or rather work equally badly. Not sure if I would describe this as a breakthrough.

I don't get where all the hype about WireGuard comes from. It's just another VPN, of which we already have several perfectly well working ones. What is so special about it over all the other things that go into Linux and FreeBSD,

I'm sure Samsung, Micron and every other company selling DIMMs are looking forward for that day too. It would need how much more memory for everything? My beefy desktop computer is often already struggling just to run Chrome. Emacs use

I worked at a place that had a little mainframe (essentially a large server) from IBM to port some software to. Most of the people didn't know anything about mainframes. On a hot day they had an air condition problem in the data center

Yes that's always the interesting question. If you would cut a digit or two or maybe even three from all the sums involved here, would the sport get any worse? I doubt it.

I wonder how long you can survive on coffee alone. Well with the more milk and sugar than coffee drinks likely quite long, but scurvy might be a long term problem too.

For the registers the % prefix avoids needing to add some prefix to every symbol. Otherwise you couldn't have symbols with the same names as registers. Not sure what you mean with every numeric constant prefixed with #. That's not

>the ridiculously argument that we "just shouldn't see race" I don't think it's ridiculous at all. Why can't we just be fair to everyone regardless of color?

Also modern compilers should be able to use frequency information from profile feedback to inform the register allocator. So it's unclear the static register allocation scheme is really that much better.

Header only usually means terrible compile times. So what they are saving from writing a few lines of Makefile they will pay forever in far longer feedback loops during development. Also it's well known that if the compile time goes ov

To be fair mainframes did clustering long before anyone else too. In the 60ies hardware was not very reliable, so they had to do something.

Even easier to run pstrings: https://github.com/andikleen/pstrings I used it a few times to handle similar situations, like recovering text from a web browser.

At least for valgrind it's fairly easy to annotate custom mallocs in the source. Just someone needs to do that.

Wish there was something like this for Linux too. Rust system programing on Linux consist of dealing with a dumpster fire of badly implemented and incomplete wrapper crates for the kernel interfaces.

IMHO one of the major failures of the ISO-C process that they still didn't manage to standardize computed goto.

A super customized system is more like a pet. A mostly standard system with very limited tweaks is more cattle. Like the OP I used to be in the having "pets" category (including gigantic ~/.emacs), but these days I prefer cat
