Another famous one is Prince's "Love Symbol no 2". Fun fact: he adopted it as his stage name to spite Warner Brothers Music, due to the unfavorable contract terms and the creative meddling they kept doing (among other things)

If groups with many longer lived members suffered a disadvantage then natural selection would favor dying earlier, but not too early. You have to think about survival of genes in groups, not just individual survival. FWIW my guess is it jus

If you're never seen a thermal printer hooked up properly with proper software... those things are insanely fast. It can spit out a meter/yard long receipt in two seconds. Nothing else comes close. It also uses paper in rolls, wit

I wasn't aware Mexico had intended to join NANA and use the NANP. It's a shame they didn't. For non North Americans: the telephone networks use an international numbering plan so Canada, the US, and about 18 smaller countries

Don't think "SSD slot". The controller is on the M1 SoC (or the T2 for the Mac Pro). It needs raw access to the flash chips. A better analogy would be if NVMe drives came with ZIF sockets for the flash chips so there was only

As I noted above this is not really true anymore. My agent told me flat out that sellers (read: seller's agents) are not impressed with all-cash offers anymore. As long as you make a no-contingencies offer that's plenty good enoug

At least in the SF market what matters is a financing contingency, not all cash vs mortgage. As long as you go through underwriting first and get full approval (not pre-approval) an offer with a mortgage and no financing contingency is 99%

Ideas are cheap. Hacking together a PoC is too. Shipping some kind of product is a bit more difficult but the first to ship is usually a complete failure. You can point to almost <i>any</i> product category - whether comput

AFAIK that's not actually true. There are some crazy edge cases but for the most part if a tenant stops paying rent you can absolutely evict them in SF. Most of the horror stories from landlords are attempts to evict for reasons beside

This is the first time labor has been making real gains compared to productivity in a long time. I don't think it's surprising that capital would prefer to layoff a few million plebs to remind the rabble where they stand.

It's too bad PCIe didn't define a firmware update mechanism, similar to how it defines Option ROMs. It would save manufacturers time and money if they didn't need bespoke firmware updaters. Such a standard could define capabi

That's not exactly right. A library itself decides if it is relocatable or fixed. If it is fixed the MH_DYLIB records its install name as /path/to/binary (generally by setting DYLIB_INSTALL_NAME_BASE so xcodebuild will m

Why do you think they don't know this will be annoying but intend to do it anyway to shift revenue sources? My personal opinion is: Microsoft told us they see Windows 11 as the "last" version. From now on Windows is a service

There are lots of spiders in the Bay Area, including here in SF. But definitely fewer of other insects compared to other places I've lived. I think it is partially the cool weather that slows them down and the long dry season. It seems

The agencies competent enough to know (or guess) certainly aren't going to tell anyone. It is absolutely possible to get high on your own supply (of authoritarianism, propaganda, and shooting messengers). So it is entirely possible upp

Fair warning: my experience has been very different than yours or tombert's in most respects and some things have changed over time (some OSS contributions are now much easier, a very recent change). It is also the first company I&#x27

C could be a simple language again if you greatly constrained compilers (-Onone is the closest you can get today). It wouldn't be fast of course, but it would fit the notion of "simple" some people have about it... or at leas

Simulator support for GPU rendering is far from trivial so it isn't about "bothering". Metal jobs are packaged up along with shaders and proxied out to the host macOS Metal framework. Textures are backed by IOSurfaces which d

Simulator has never supported hardware acceleration for OpenGL ES. It is no different on an Intel Mac. Only Metal in Simulator runs on the GPU. This includes WebGPU if you're using Safari.

That's just some injected opinion, I assume from someone contributing to glibc who doesn't like posix_spawn I guess? In any case it is wrong. Don't assume what is written in man pages is the truth. Some of them have a lot of

Yes, kinda. If the drive completes the flush but gets disconnected before the kernel can read the ack then I can get an error from fcntl(). In theory it's possible I could get an error from write() even though it succeeded but I don&#x

This has nothing to do with PLP. If the drive reports PLP then Flush is allowed to be a no-op because all acknowledged writes are durable by design - the OS need only wait for the data write and FS metadata writes to complete without needin

Please stop replying with misinformation all over this thread. The NVMe spec is available for free; you should read it. And you're 100% wrong about the enclosure too. It's driven by an Intel TB bridge JHL6240 and the drives are PC

You're wrong. Please read the NVMe spec, section 7.1: > the Flush command shall commit data and metadata associated with the specified namespace(s) to non-volatile media It has nothing to do with DRAM. The spec is explicit about wha

My script repeatedly writes a counter value "lines=$counter" to a file, then calls fcntl() with F_FULLFSYNC against that file descriptor which on macOS ends up doing an NVMe FLUSH to the drive (after sending in-memory buffers and
