Humans are perfectly capable of doing that on their own. The random parentheticals and the sentence structures are very human to me.

You can open large codebases in Jetbrains IDEs and it takes forever to index, but it shouldn't outright crash or completely freeze. You can open the kernel in CLion. Don't expect the advanced refactoring features to work, but it c

There are places that have this norm, but it's exceedingly rare, and it's not some perfect utopia. We're all susceptible to emotional appeals to different degrees, and emotions aren't some inconvenience that you should t

This blog sent me into a memory models rabbit hole again. Each time I end up feeling like I'm finally starting to get it, only for a 6 line litmus test with 4 loads and 2 stores to send me crashing back down. It makes me feel a little

>I've actually never thought about this before but also the user could free it concurrently I think? Yup. But if you only send it back to the malloc heap, the kernel doesn't notice, it will happily read data that has been freed

It remembers the screens to try to keep your settings if you disconnect and reconnect external screens, but in this case that was not very helpful I always want the taskbar on every screen personally. I think that'd be a friendlier def

That's a 40x increase all at once with a very short grace period, it's bait-and-switch territory. If only 2.5% of targets pay the ransom, Slack breaks even on this racket, so in absence of any protection this strategy is most like

The technical content is okay, but there's some fluff with a characteristic LLM signature that cheapens the whole thing. Instead of an article hand-crafted by human hands, it screams to the reader that they are currently reading slop.

I think you've earned a Godwin point. "The Nazis weren't prejudiced" isn't a great start to an argument, even as a strawman of someone else's position.

If there's one archetype that haunts math forums, it has to be the Retired Engineer that took a look at the Collatz conjecture or the Reimann Zeta zeroes and just came up with a theory. This also happens in physics, but physics crackpo

That's indeed the first thing you would want to try. In this case these time ranges can repeat according to a formula, like a cron job for example. An exclusion constraint needs concrete values to compare, but here we can't pre-co

I had a case just recently where we needed to enforce a no-overlap constraint too complicated to express in an index (recurring time ranges). Any time you have to check constraints manually, you can't just do it before the write, or af

This is indeed a nil slice, and it does have len() == 0, but Go also has a concept of empty slices separate from nil slices The language just has a bad habit of confusing them some of the time, but not consistently, so you can still occasio

It depends. Not all good things are legible and easy to put into a spreadsheet. Blind data-driven decisions destroy all illegible good in this world that can't be boiled down to some number going up. And there's a lot of it.

It's an idea that makes a lot of sense on Wikipedia, because every page there explicitly starts with a short summary, and often an image that can be pulled from the infobox. I'm not yet convinced it will work well on the rest of t

When you force push a PR, Gitlab shows the changes from the last push. So it also depends which forge you use. I could see that working less well on Github or simpler Git forges

Fair enough. As someone who has lost filesystems to bugs and files to corrupted blocks, I definitely appreciate the work you've done on repair and reliability. I think there's room to have your cake and eat it too, but I certainly

You may be right, but I think looking at it from a lens of who has authority and can impose their decision is still illustrating the point I'm trying to make. To some extent drawing clear boundaries is good as a last resort when people

Sean Baxter's circle compiler uses LLVM as a backend, but I believe the rest is from scratch. Arguably these days having a clear frontend/backend separation is good compiler architecture. It might slow down compile times a bit, bu

Unfortunately, there's also nothing they can do if Kent says no. Say there's a disagreement on a patch that touches something outside fs/bcachefs, that person can't exactly write their own patches incorporating the feedb

It's complicated, no one really knows what "externally maintained" entails at the moment. Linus is not exactly poised to pull directly from Kent, and there is no solution lined-up at the moment. Both Linus and Kent drive a ha

There are downsides to adding features in layers, as opposed to integrating them with the FS, but dm can do quite a lot: https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/device-mapper/snapshot.h...
