Nit: a unit test never proves that it works. At best it can prove that it doesn't work. Otherwise, I agree.

Would it be reasonable to have fuzz testing around reasonably sized units in addition to e2e?

And link with the `-Bsymbolic` or `-Bsymbolic-functions` linker options to save on the indirection when calling public functions within the same library but across object files.

Many natural languages have grouping at every three digits in a decimal number, but it's not universal. Like in English 10000 is ten thousand, there is no new single word for it. IMO most of it is momentum and convention, there is noth

One major difference leap day is not inserted by adjusting clocks by 24*60*60 seconds into monotonic clocks. But leap seconds are handled this way in many time sources. I think the concept itself is fine, but software developers screwed up

IMO a monotonic time source should never ever adjust to leap seconds, it's just stupid. GPS time does this right, and IMO NTP time does this wrong. Operating systems that adjust the computer's hardware clock on leap seconds (all o

AFAIK GNU grep is a different beast than other grep implementations.

Except when you pass `-r` and you pass a directory in place of the filename. But maybe it should have been `-r <directory>` and still no positional file parameter. The ship has been sailed a long ago though.

What? I still use IMAP on free tier without issues. Is this only for new accounts? edit: Damn, I just read the sibling account. Kind of nervous now, I hope they won't drop this any time soon for grandfathered accounts.

There is one strong difference between byteswap and other operations within <bit>. byteswap semantically works on the object representation of the integer, while all other operations semantically work on the integer value, expressed i

1.) Functions are fine for this stuff. The compiler can be trusted for its ability to "inline" the language-level `__builtin_unreachable()` or equivalent at the relevant optimization levels. 2.) static_cast<int> is shorter,

linux namespaces/cgroup may be an implementation detail. But at a high level, each container can have a different view on system resources, and this is the critical point. Different from each other and the host system. The system resou

Possibly different subpixel antialiasing and hinting settings in the SVG renderer and for text outside of SVG elements. My hunch is that subpixel antialiasing and hinting is disabled for SVG elements. As withing SVG images you typically hav

Where is the scary warning about macros within the document? I thought that macros are not executed by default, and you must trust the source for executing the macros. I am not trying to downplay it, it's still a privilege escalation.

Linux remained GPL, compiled with clang or not. It didn't become possible to use Linux in a non-free way, did it?

For something to be considered a feature, it has to be beneficial to someone . I'm not arguing that the benefit should manifest in convenience. Who benefits from the Linux kernel not being able to be compiled by a certain compiler, an

Sure, and I agree that this can be an honest mistake. But distributing the code through copilot might still be copyright infringement. If copilot indeed infringes on copyright on some cases, then there must be a way to make copilot complyin

Hey, including copyrighted code, especially from other repositories without a correct license, is an honest mistake. You should be able to file a DMCA request with a list of all the repos containing your code, and then they should just retr

I remember doing that for XP. There were also dedicated software to prepare install media that included the sata drivers, so you could use that with machines without a floppy drive.

std::span is new enough to not be in muscle memory of C++ programmers. Even the standard library commits a similar sin with `from_chars` and not taking a `string_view`.
