It gets even funnier in OCaml where they nominally defined it UB in order to get the freedom to make the only existing implementation always 100% reliably evaluate right-to-left, which reportedly was better for performance or something :) A

No, it's a novel idea called SaaS - soul as a service. The OP probably is already making money on it while you sit here posting dismissive comments.

Sure you can reject religion. Then it all boils down to whose model of the not-yet-really-understood is more accurate and who will eat whom on the top of the food chain ;) Take this: N years ago, for some value of N, nobody talked about fri

As far as I know places like Slashdot and Reddit, they will keep flaming Leah Rowe for decades to come but the Libreboot project itself will be spared now that they have distanced themselves from her actions.

Are there really commercial BASIC and Oberon compilers targeting ARM microcontrollers? It seems the world is a much richer place then I have ever imagined :)

Incompatibility of copyleft licenses is indeed a PITA. This being said, your examples are rather unfortunate because 1. to avoid this exact trouble, RMS&FSF designed the GPL as one copyleft to rule them all and encouraged all copyleft s

Sure, but OP's benchmark clearly shows that OS X's default mutex is at most 5% decent ;)

It's probably a very old decision, from times when most desktop computers had one CPU and threads were mostly used to keep GUI responsive while the application was churning data in the background, so there was little interaction betwee

Holding people responsible for their actions is cheaper than bailing them out, both locally (it costs nothing in every single case) and globally (people are more careful to stay out of trouble in the first place if there is no bailout). Soc

Does DNS allow numeric domain names? I presume ICANN wouldn't sell us the .91 TLD, but hypothetically it could be an awesome trick to weird out all those smartasses who think they know everything about IP address validation :)

I think it's a matter of value being shaped by under- or oversupply. Speaking of illiteracy, there's an urban legend (not sure if true, anyone with access to data please check it) that literacy rate has actually dropped in the US

I'm used to seeing browsers and kernels pwned left and right, but multiple VMWare escapes? Is this how all VMs are nowadays or just something wrong with VMWare in particular?

RAID journaling. https://lwn.net/Articles/665299/ Haven't tried it but it seems to already be merged, at least write-through. They now work on implementing writeback and this IIRC isn't merged yet.

Buggy SSDs certainly are a thing, mainly due to the complexity of FTL, but if you have a story of FW corrupting data on spinning rust that would be news to me.
