Apparently the arrangement involved a 3rd party to do the due diligence and they were the ones that got duped.

Induction ovens are more efficient than an resistive heating element and can transfer a lot of heat into the pan. Just as much as a flame or even more. The difficulty with woks is that flat induction cooktops are only compatible with flat-b

Hmm... Looks like sdl2-config is deprecated and will be removed for SDL3: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/6140

What are the pros and cons of sdl2-config vs pkg-config?

Exactly! Convection ovens are devices for roasting, not for frying.

Lua also allows you to choose the string delimiter. If your string contains "]]" you can delimit it with [=[ or [==[ instead. Any number of "=" so long as the opening and closing delimiters match.

I'm intrigued. Is there somewhere where we could find the full definition of these macros?

A big difference is that Tcl's upvar is dynamically scoped. A more appropriate Lua analog would be Lua's debug API (e.g. debug.setlocal)

For the most part, the info is still valid today. The main thing that changed since then is that Lua 5.3 introduced integers and several new bytecode instructions for the common case where one of the operands is a small integer constant.

Nowadays the upvalues in Lua are bona-fide lexical scoping a-la Scheme or Javascript. However, the name comes from Lua 4.0 where the upvalues worked in a more unusual way. Not in the same way as Tcl though, but just as surprising for the un

Does that also apply if you're not sending surplus energy back into the grid?

"Karen" as a slur is one of my least favorite memes from the 2020s. Can't wait for the day it falls into disuse. Lot's of real people have that name!

FTX customers can perform leveraged trades, where they borrow money from FTX and post other assets as a collateral. In theory there could be some kind of liquidity crisis if FTX had to liquidate many margin trades at the same time. But that

I feel that today's discussion is a perfect example of why the term "sealioning" was coined.

One funny thing about bazaars is that they decrease desirability for adjacent houses but increase desirability for houses that are 3-6 tiles away. A good strategy is to build them close to the houses, but surrounded by other service buildin

In my experience, the biggest source of "random" glitches were the entertainment walkers. Because of a bug, sometimes the dancers would teleport and wonder off outside of the block. Lack of bazaar goods can also be a problem, spec

One caveat to pay attention to... Ever since LuaJIT and PUC-Lua diverged, PUC lua has made some significant changes to the garbage collector. I wonder if that might affect the comparison vs LuaJIT for memory intensive benchmarks such as bin

Fascinating! I wonder if there's a way to keep this 100% inside the C ecosystem, without having to reach for an LLVM dependency...

The problem with that example is that you had to ±1 both of the ends of the original range. That is, you started with [555,560) and had to rewrite it to (554,559] for the reverse loop.

Dijkstra is a smooth talker and sometimes he's able to convince people that an argument is settled even when it is not... Here, he conveniently ignores examples that are better for [closed,closed], such as iterating backwards over the

Why is stdbool.h deemed "mostly useless now"? Is it always available via another header now?

By the way, what the hell is a fiat@? Is that at-sign a typo or is it some kind of jargon I don't understand?
