Ah, you're right. syscall(2) must have been moved to syscall(9) on OpenBSD when the syscall function was removed and pinsyscalls was added.

It's not like array languages don't do any optimizations... Denying the programmer the ability to be clever by manually writing loops makes some things easier and simpler for the compiler as well.

That's the syscall(9) manpage, not the syscalls(2) manpage. syscall(9) is present on BSD as well, and on my OpenBSD box points me to sys/syscall.h which has the syscalls. On linux sys/syscall.h is empty and includes asm/

It is somewhat documented. man 2 syscalls tells me they are defined in /usr/include/asm/unistd.h. That file include /usr/include/asm/unistd_{32,64}.h, which contain the definitions on my amd64 linux b

Yeah. I remember thinking it was old and boring as a kid in the 90's... Have children born after the millennium even ever seen a newspaper, let alone read the comics?

Nope. Schoolhouse Rock, multiple Monty Python films, The Last Samurai, The Magic Schoolbus, Romeo and Juliet... but never any Charlie Brown. Oh yeah, and The Sandlot. 2 or 3 times I think.

The reason so many people with aphantasia don't realize until adulthood is that we do everything you do. There's no real difference in capability, many things are identical or very similar, but the mental experience is different.

I definitely have memories linked to smell, but I can't imagine or remember and pull them up on demand, I am reminded of them when I detect that scent. I can make myself imagine/remember sourness though, but not other flavors. J

Ok, yeah, not quite a HAS TO, but if I want to get that patch, or find out info about that open source project, or join some fun group... I have to.

In Celsius, my daily life uses values from ~ -20 to +30 for the weather, but from ~0 - 90F. For cooking both are equally arbitrary, as the only place I set or read a temperature when cooking is candymaking, setting the oven, or cooking larg

No. I will wince or look away, because it is uncomfortable to see people experiencing pain. But I don't feel pain, I just feel emotionally uncomfortable due to seeing people in distress.

No. I can imagine just fine without visualizing. It's the same as "thinking". Posit a sphere of radius x. Why do I need to see to imagine that?

> The suggestion of a group you identify as being less, causes a predictable reaction to characterize the other (non-aphantasia) as problematic/hallucinating (i.e. broken/lacking). No, it's not a defensive/counteratta

Huh. If anything I have a better memory for things that I've experienced than others. My fully-phantasic siblings seem to struggle with recalling conversations and events from childhood that I can recount in detail, but they can do thi

People use Discord and Slack because they have to, not because they want to. Having to keep 10 chat apps to somewhat keep in touch with people is a sign that something is very, very wrong. People use gmail because it was free and in the rig

Honestly, I don't think anyone would raise much of a fuss over changing distance measurements to metric. Both centimeters and inches are easy enough to eyeball or rule-of-thumb, meters and yards are basically the same, and larger units

It's hard to actually count using more than 4 bits/hand though. The quickest methods that require the least dexterity are those that count the knuckles (which are actually used in some counting traditions, unlike binary finger-cou

Unlikely. If you can't afford RAM, how can you afford the SaaS contracts that keep devs employed?

I always took the Deus Ex Machina in Harrison's books to be just more of the satire. He never really takes his settings or characters lightly, but the presentation is almost always aimed at comedic effect.

We still live in a golden age of music piracy. It's easier than ever to download anything you ever wanted to listen to without paying a cent. It's just that keeping music locally fell out of fashion and streaming is so easy.

Try some CJ Cherryh. Her science fiction touches on many ethically-tricky concepts and difficult situations and explores different styles of alien interaction without a lot of the satirizing/politicking/moralizing that many use sc

Chili peppers, tomatos, and potatos (among others) are all from the Americas, but have their own names in every area they've spread to, or have taken the name of something else. Why is chocolate different?

It's very rare for anything to change as a direct result of protests, but the act of protesting brings issues into the public consciousness that weren't necessarily there before. That is the real driver of change. Changing publi
