I think the main thing you’re looking for is “differentiation”. Unicellular organisms are generally homogenous, as each must be adapted to surviving on its own. Simple multicellular organisms are often just masses of individual cells. But,

Is there a way to make git keep the unsquashed history, linking it to the squash commit? That would solve the problem here, because anytime bisection locates a squash commit you could just follow the pointer to the unsquashed history and

Heh, that’s cute. And it still seems reasonably close to reality - the only thing I think it’s missing OTOH is Google One. Apple has Books, Pay, Wallet, Store, App Store, One, and TV. All they’re missing is Cast and Go!

It actually detects your scroll speed (on mobile anyway) and skips certain animations if you’re scrolling fast enough. Still feels weird though.

Per the article, the astronomers were able to determine that the distances were measured on 23 February 1987 at 8:52 CET (which was confirmed by the issuing national bank). This wouldn’t correspond with the issue date of the banknote, unfor

I mean, IANAL but there seems to be a trivial loophole here: have the company lawyer read the license, lawyer determines there’s a trapdoor, and conveys the contents to someone else. Nobody but the lawyer has to read it; everyone but the la

Cool! One question: I wonder why they didn’t just use GHIDRA to reverse engineer the MIPS binary? GHIDRA can decompile MIPS and does quite a passable job. IDA is an awesome tool (and still edges out GHIDRA for ARM/x86 if you have the d

sqlite3 is now very heavily used in the Apple ecosystem - all of Core Data is built on it, and many of Apple’s own apps use it to store all kinds of data. It’s a godsend for tinkerers like me too - just point the SQLite CLI at one of the in

On Linux, after argc, argv and envp comes the even more mysterious auxv, a key-value store for binary data. The kernel shoves a lot of interesting stuff into auxv, including AT_RANDOM - 16 random bytes (used to construct stack canaries and

On the one hand - yeah, AMP can go to hell. It's a massive overreach and, as pointed out, is getting awfully close to an actual attempt to rewrite the Web. On the other hand, we probably wouldn't be in this situation if website ow

In particular, the constants are very critical to the algorithm's security. If the constants are maliciously chosen, the algorithm could be "backdoored" with an exploitable structure. For example, if you modify just four 32-b

Note that these are all cockatiels, very intelligent parrots that will readily pick up and replay sounds they hear. This is quite distinct from sparrows and most songbirds, which only seem to pick up certain songs.

Copying large objects is significantly more expensive than copying small objects, and the cost is exacerbated due to cache effects. The C++ language contains a lot of optimizations for trivially copyable objects, e.g. std::copy, so having a

A slight improvement: adding "\\033[K" to the end, i.e.: PROMPT_COMMAND='printf "⏎%$((COLUMNS-1))s\\r\\033[K"' kills the extra spaces at the end, which can help alleviate some of the weirder line wrappin

The radical (which is usually on the left, or bottom) is sometimes semantically meaningful. In your example, 汁 has the water radical, and it is indeed a liquid. The rest of the character aside from the radical is usually entirely meaningles

If x and y are finite floats (not NaN or ±Infinity), with x != y, then x - y != 0. This is true for any pair of floats only because of denormal numbers. If there were no denormals (or denormals were flushed to zero), then if |x - y| < 2^

These days, it’s not only compilers that are optimizing for the particulars of the CPU, but CPUs optimizing for compiled code. My favorite examples of this are the inconsistent and sometimes downright crappy performance of “rep” string inst
