Germany doesn't need to change, just Germans need to change talking lot of bullshit. I registered a private SW development entity in Germany easily, without any costs. You just need to declare it as System SW, not Applications, or you&

Well searching for strings, appending strings, comparing strings. All still unimplemented in standard libs. (Strings being unicode of course)

He probably read too many Linux kernel mailinglist posts recently. But I agree on the Devon Zuegel praise. Most of the good devs and managers are gone. Only brian for the git SHA-256 migration is still there I think, though he got no time f

Or just disable the fucking broken optimizer for such a function. #pragma GCC optimize ("O0")

What? Jakarta's biggest problem is the rising sea level and the sinking ground. Jakarta is one of the fastest sinking cities globally. Venice or Miami are nothing compared to this. 40% will be gone soon. https://storymaps.ar

And I remember the longstanding argument why women should not be allowed to vote in France, because that's what brought Hitler to power. They were the third last European country to do so, only Greece and Switzerland were more backward

Google always thinks I am in Finland, because one of my coworkers on the same VPN is in Finland. Bonkers. Finish ads suck

We kinda always leave documentation and test bugs in. Documentation teams have different scheduling, and tests are nice TODO's. There are also always bugs detected after shipping (usually in beta), which need to be accounted for.

If you host you are running on my cPanel SW. 70% of the internet is doing that. Also a kinda centralized point of failure, but I didn't hear of any bugs in the last 14 years.

Emacs to the rescue. With Ctrl-X 8 Enter I can type in the number, or better type in the name of the character with search and completion. Much better than this hack

Not at all. I use to maintain myriad of packages with restructured text, asciidoc, XML, perl pod and tex, but markdown all supercede it. I could easily represent the long word spec for the DWG format in markdown with gh tables, rendering it

From the comments: > This story is really old news. The Atlantic profiled this guy and his “research” last January and then MIT basically disavowed him in May. Multiple journalists on Substack covered this months ago, too…. As I read thi

You can ignore it. It's just that the Japanese cannot allow an external jit dominate, and so they came up with a much simplier tier 0 method jit, which will never be able to surpass Maxime's yjit.

Multi-player started with Doom 2. Original doom was single player only. Doom 2 was for 4 players which I used in my mod ArsDoom. Quake then extended it to scale via a dedicated quake server.

Nonsense. Google only ever hired one perl5 committer, who never actually committed anything.

Maybe he should have checked out Maria Reiche, because this doesn't pass the smell test. A marketplace would look totally different to a long band of holes. The storage theory looks more plausible

So was this caused by the Cloudflare duplicate features file, causing 5xx errors internally? They said they shipped a fix, but no details yet

In my city the street lightning is too low at night. And with the better LED headlights and some rain it's impossible to see rare occurances, like bikes without lights, pedestrians crossing the street a.s.o. I really have to drive 30km

The compiler knows about the sizes by either statically allocated sizes (_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2, __builtin_object_size) or malloc'ed sizes (_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3, __builtin_dynamic_object_size). See e.g. https://developers.redhat.com

## Microsoft Windows/MINGW_HAS_SECURE_API * `fopen_s`, `freopen_s` deviate in the API: restrict is missing. * `strtok_s`, `wcstok_s`,`vsnprintf_s` miss the dmax argument. * `vsnprintf_s` adds a maxarg argument. * `vswprintf` adds a max

If the optimizer cannot see the sizes, it has to defer the error to run-time. If it sees it (as with _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3) it fails at compile0-time already. The difference to _FORTIFY_SOURCE is that it guarantees to fail, whereas with _FORTI
