I think one of the main reason overcommit is a thing on Linux (certainly one of the things one runs into if one turns it off) is dealing with the weirdness of fork()/exec(). For a moment there in between the two calls you _technically

Not sure how that's different than Python asyncio's "run blocking stuff with `run_in_executor`, the result (future) of which integrates into the async event loop?

Will the compiler check that you have an exhaustive set of keys in your definition of `shapeToDrawFn`? (Not a rhetorical question, I don't know.)

To be fair everything being complained about in this thread is pretty clearly broken stuff. And for design, I'm actually harsh over stuff like the new "top comment" box that, when clicked on, /completely removes the norm

I've seen the new "read more" button sometimes actually completely be invisible... it'll come back if I force a re-layout (i.e. resizing the browser). But yeah the new design is pretty awful. No idea what they were thin

Yep. On Firefox, haven't tried on other browsers. At this point I just hit "back, back, forward" without thinking about it when I see it happen.

Yep, pretty much. I wound up writing a thing for this years ago that worked pretty well for the use cases I had at the time, but it was pretty complicated (implementation wise) and had some potential conflicts with other FFI-written stuff t

BART had regular rail profile and non-tapered wheels, so flange squeal (and wear) was apparently a real issue. I'm not sure why they decided on this, since it runs counter to normal railway practice. This article has a story but I wo

Or overall less noise, especially in smaller cases where you can't fit an extremely large (read: large fan) direct attached air cooler. Larger fans mean more cooling per dB. Also, water coolers have a lot more thermal mass (because, w

From the title I'd assumed this was referring to the original web browser ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WorldWideWeb ), which of course would have been `WorldWideWeb.app` as well.

I think the GP was commenting on the lack of specification of eMMC wear leveling, not Littlefs.

It would be exactly a quine, you'd just ram the generated source code through the image generation algorithm rather than printing to stdout. So yes, the existence of quines means that it must be possible. It'd probably be about

Actually you can't rotate the telescope; they managed orientation even through the launch because if some of the science instruments get pointed towards the sun for too long they'll be destroyed. Now that it's deployed it&#x

Overzealous "protection" filtering presumably (guessing from the Blackhat name). Happens on corporate VPNs too. We can't have nice things.

I think one of the advantages of the General Fusion approach is that both what the heat gets transferred to and what bears most of the neutron flux (and hence gets irradiated) is the liquid metal, which is presumably easily replaced (and co

Early 78RPM records only played for a few minutes per side, the grooves were very widely spaced.

Except that shares all the same ABI issues as shared libraries. If they wouldn't link at runtime they won't link at package-install-time either.

If I recall correctly they typically involve manipulating the execution stack; that's not something you can do in JS obviously.

Good to know; I admit I haven't looked at the technical side of this. Mostly I was just providing my "legit" use case for wanting to spoof numbers since I think a lot of times most people don't realize they exist.

The issue is when I have a automated answering system (asterisk, for a museum). It rattles off some prerecorded info, possibly with prompting. To talk to a human, I need to forward the caller (I.e. call and set up a voice bridge since the

What's funny is now ZFS is used on SSDs, where that kind of rewriting is constantly happening behind the scenes (even if you're not writing it's constantly doing housekeeping for degraded blocks, especially on modern denser f

Except it's not... You need to filter down to below the new Nyquist frequency first or you will add tons of aliasing.

Assuming you're talking about pitch shifting without changing speed, that warbling doesn't have anything to do with the quality of the source sample. It's just how the pitch shifting algorithm works.

Calling Perl (released 1987) "one of the first" programming languages is an extremely revisionist view of history to put it lightly.
