   Also, there's an important ability: to be able to come up with new or modified procedures.

   There's plenty broken with both .is and .ph even if Cloudflare is not in the picture.

   The Turing test is necessary but not sufficient for AGI. That said, I have yet to see a modern AI that actually passes the Turing test either: > an average interrogator will not have more than 70 per cent, chance of making the right iden

   It appears to require O_DIRECT, which is notoriously buggy and no sane program should ever use.

   It doesn't require malicious actors, just independent ones. "Cooperative" was a good choice of word there.

   If you are building a program, install the -dev package. Numbered -dev packages are usually not relevant; there should be an unnumbered one that forwards if needed. During the build of a program, you record which numbered suffix (= ABI vers

   Performing a task for someone, whether directly or as a third party contract, generally doesn't invoke copyright.

   Some limitations of this particular article: * it doesn't mention that operator-precedence (usually: Pratt) parsing is another alternative * it doesn't mention that you don't have to evaluate the expression directly; it'

   Btrfs doesn't directly support bad blocks. But since the conversion is supposed to use only "free space" that's presumably excluding bad blocks (which are presumably counted as allocated).

    Beware that bad sectors probably exist on those, and modern filesystems (which falsely assume the hardware will do automagical remapping) make it hard to run `badblocks`. From the fsck man pages, only ext2, ext3, ext4, and reiserfs support

    Hm, sources seem to vary a lot ... but they all seem to be within a single order of magnitude at least.

    Postgres's JSONB uses native numbers, which is faster but coerces values. It also removes duplicate keys but you shouldn't use those anyway. Sqlite's JSONB keeps numbers as strings, which is slower but preserves your weird JS

    Another major hole (in all shells!): there's no way to perform quote-aware splitting of a string in a restricted manner. This is especially egregious given the lack of array variable support. `xargs` is close, but only handles a few ki

    I don't remember the exact details anymore, but it related to not using `access(X_OK)` to check that a file in PATH was actually executable.

    Presumably they can compare the message body against recent text messages they've given you. (also, this works in the US too)

    I stopped considering CMake when I reported a bug (that worked in all major alternatives) and they actively refused to patch it (because it was based on a traditionally-UNIX API, and they refused to use it ... even though it was available o

    System includes are generally well-behaved though, so it doesn't matter if they add new things.

    Yeah, but if the language is fighting libc etc. this hard I have severe doubts that it'll actually be stable or robust, and it has already given up on simplicity.

    If we're going there, note also that all the LEDs not on the edge are blocked by other LEDs (or the board) part of the time; LEDs on the edge are visible even past 90°.

    Or just ... don't center, and change the math to acknowledge that the LEDs aren't centered?

    JSON is a sixth type in practice due to the way `text` acts differently depending on whether it is fed directly from one JSON function to another. See https://sqlite.org/json1.html#value_arguments

    GCC has `__attribute__((scalar_storage_order("big-endian")))`. Note that the attribute is applied on `struct`s (and `union`s), taking effect for scalars within them, but does not recurse into further aggregates.

    C++ relaxed still serializes accesses to the variable itself, so it is far more useful than mere "defined data races". In particular it's useful for things like counters that always increment, or counters that decrement but w

    Books are typically not monospace, which is where the two-space rule really applies.

    Unfortunately, strings cross at least 3 different problems: * charset encoding. Cases worth supporting include Ascii, Latin1, Xascii, WeirdLegacyStatefulEncoding, WhateverMyLocaleSaysExceptNotReally, UTF8, UTF16, UCS2, UTF32, and sloppy var
