   For the more metric-fluent among us, that's about 13,100 square meters. Didn't immediately see how many employees are affected, though.

   Wow, I had an Amiga while growing up (in Europe) and certainly thought I knew the platform and its history at least decently well, but I had no idea about the Hombre RISC chipset plans [1]. Very, very cool and yet another great source of th

   Very nice-looking for being SVG! One possibly uncalled-for piece of feedback: is that USB-C connection finished, and is it complying with the various detection resistor requirements for the CCx pins? It seemed very bare and empty, I was exp

   Here, "FAFO" = fsck around, find out. Parent's point is that you should not apply that methodology in order to test the applicability of castle law in the US, since you might end up dead.

   Yes, weird. I also liked this part: Embers from a fire won’t burn the surface (If removed quickly). I think that is true for many surface materials, and that "quickly" is doing a lot of work in that sentence. It also completely

    For those of us outside the US and used to other units, a cord [1] is of course 128 cubic feet or roughly 3.62 cubic meters. The wood is supposed to be well stacked (aligned, parallel, touching and compact) and if so, one cord is a pile mea

    Surely, "salt" has to be mentioned when talking about the primary taste components of soy? Normal soy is around 17% salt, which is a lot and really plays a part, in my opinion.

    I kind of share this feeling (I knew 68K assembler before learning C), but having spent ~30 years writing C, publishing some open source software in C, reading comp.lang.c and draft standards, as well as answering many C questions on Stac

    I would (coming from a C background) guess that `allocPrint()` owes its name from the C standard library function(s) `as(n)printf()`[1]. At least that would make sense, the naming is modernized by being made longer, to gain clarity. [1]: h

    Please don't use if:s to assign boolean literals, just do it: const trump_tariff = priceIncrease > 1.0 also saves you from not initializing the variable in the default/other case. :)
