That's a pretty weird distinction to make. I remember back in the 80s writing a CGA text-mode game (they were quite in vogue at the time), and (as I assume most programmers did) I used the video memory directly as the source of truth a

Unlike the article, I'd assume it's hardware related rather than software. Assuming the article is correct and the hardware can do 7680x4320 @60, which requires 8GB/s memory bandwidth, in theory it should be able to do the sa

Actually, I was going to completely edit this comment with a different suggestion, but decided to leave that to show the thought process. Thinking more about the hours, I like the circle progressing round, but also maybe you could do it as

Seems nice, but beyond 6 points the polygons are hard to distinguish easily. Certainly not something you can quickly glance at in a rush. I'd say sticking to 5 maximum would be best. I don't think empty for 0 necessarily makes the

Yeah, good point. Honestly it's been so long since I've added that to a project (it's normally hidden in some include that everything else includes) that I'd forgotten it wasn't a compiler level reserved keyword for

My point is that even though the assert() is optimised out, the compiler could still assume that the condition is valid.

I wonder if that's actually related to the Afrikaans word "stoep", where it's used in the sense of verandah which is obviously where you'd sit outside the house and watch the word go by. Both meanings ultimately com

From the wikipedia article linked to just below this reply, it says that the first such experiment is as you described. But then goes on to say: Other 19th-century experiments were purported to show that frogs did not attempt to escape grad

Because you'll loose half a career's worth of inflationary salary rises that way. Also, women might work part time after having children which would skew the average annual salary down. Over a 40 year career, just from inflation a

I agree with a lot of this. For context, I'm very fat, so I feel a bit more that it's OK to say this, but yeah the body shaming stuff is a very interesting topic. Obviously, if you feel that your whole life you're being bulli

I'm not sure if they're still available, but the PAP2T was a wonderful piece of kit - just an ethernet port and 2x RJ-45 jacks for old style phones. You can set up custom dial plans and use any VOIP SIP provider you like. You can

Just googling it now and TCP urgent data seems to be a mess. Reading the original RFC 793 it's clear that the intention was never for this to be OOB data, but to inform the receiver that they should consume as much data as possible and

I think you're misinterpreting what his comment meant. I read it as meaning that e-commerce has been optimised repeatedly over the 30 years, from a basic start (which as you pointed out was haphazard) to the point where it is now opt

Nowadays, I primarily only use gmail because the mail client is good on Android. But all my accounts have been self-hosted for years now and gmail just reads them via POP3 (never managed to get it happy with IMAP for some reason) and sends

I don't know. Even when I'm working on my own private repositories across several machines, I really, really dislike regular merges. You get an ugly commit message and I can never get git log to show me the information I actually

Only watched a little of the video, until I saw one of the requests returned an access token with lots of repeated data. Was very surprised when I base64 decoded that and found it was just "\uDFFF\uDBFF" repeating over and over. M

True, but the the UK has under 30% of the population of the US and less than 6% of the population of China. If you compare per capita, it's a very different story. USA is around $93k, UK $61k and China $15k. So about 2/3 of the US

The one child policy was only for cities anyway. Agricultural areas were permitted, even encouraged, to have more children. There were other exceptions, like twins (obviously), if the first baby was disabled, etc. Later on, couples were all

I use a similar conditional write paradigm on the GPU and it's usually easiest to do an unconditional write and update the address using a branchless conditional, assuming you are using a system with strict write ordering. Usually the

In the days when even cheap consumer hardware ships with 2.5G ports, this number seems weirdly low. Does this mean that basically nobody is currently using OpenBSD in the datacentre or anywhere that might be expecting to handle 10G or highe

I different way of reframing this point is looking at some of the modern art that's highly celebrated, without the human component of what it represents, the art itself isn't that good. So, the guy who suspends buckets of paint wi

Conversely, I had IPv6 for about 5 years from an ISP and when I switched providers, the new ISP was IPv4 only. A few years later and they now support IPv6, but my firewall setup is now IPv4 only, so I've not bothered to update it.

Watching this, neither version seem as good as I remember the Amiga version looking, which was still dithered but looked better than the EGA version. Obviously hard to say without a direct video comparison.

It's also disingenuous to call it open source as that might tempt others to use it believing that it actually is open source. Let's call it what it is - stolen IP and released without permission of the author. Sure, it's good

I must admit just from reading the description, it doesn't sound that the correct inference is that it's never been used. "In 2023, syzbot found a null-ptr-deref bug triggered when UDP-Lite attempted to charge an skb after th
