Do we really need such an obscure metaphor? Why not talk about how the compiler reacts to undefined behavior in real concrete terms?

Are you describing a "hackintosh" like configuration? Because that could be feasible but this would not happen commercially. First off: the Windows on ARM port was shipping on laptops/tablets to Apple shipping their first M

In the history of the US, the "third party" either "spoils" in this fashion you've described -- or it subsumes the party it would've spoiled by becoming more popular. It's not inconceivable for a new coali

The National Parks are truly a treasure. We are fortunate to have them and helping disabled people take advantage of the parks is an excellent idea. I think it'd be great to encourage kids to visit the parks through passes like these.

It is unfortunate that the two have such similar names because there's a lot of room for confusion. It doesn't help that they have somewhat adjacent functionality almost.

Agreed, these graphs were challenging to read. Instead of a histogram, a violin plot (especially "split") might be an excellent way to compare the distributions. And that solves the bucket size problem too IMO. https://

You can still declare success if you lower the bar to "we can catch leaks/pirates and in particular we can know which internal folks should no longer be trusted. ... as long as they don't attempt to circumvent the fingerprint

The fact that the tenant seems to be exploiting the legal loopholes made me think immediately of "Pacific Heights". That 100k is probably approaching the opportunity cost if it hasn't exceeded it already. Time to move on and

Is there any high-level description of the downstream changes in ferrocene and a roadmap of which changes could be upstreamed and which would probably "never" be acceptable upstream?

It'd be cool if I could have a code review view that's instrumented with output from static analyzers. I know some places have this (FB/Meta?) but I don't think it's a very "out of the box" kinda setup.

IMO cellular network protocols are remarkably challenging to understand. Then you add to that various quirks of certain network operators, optimal power consumption and throughput, security. They probably want their design to work as well
