>death-debt spiral where it pays for itself with donations from foreigners. That's not how it works. As long as the trade deficit exists, and the reserve currency is the dollar, there will be huge demand for treasuries.

And yet, things like the Patriot missile system get built. It's pretty wild what an 800 billion dollar budget will paper over.

Why are you confident cotton isn't carcinogenic?

If that's the case, there should be a #define for that length. If not, they should be using strlen("_shutdown") or sizeof("_shutdown")+1 There's really no excuse for a magic number there.

Almost everything here is valid, but iirc the last time I ran the nix installer I thought it offered a home directory based install now that doesn't require root.

I'm kind of shocked the physical tooling exists to make a Game Boy cartridge and chips more than anything else.

OTOH, a lot of things have stopped including transformers, so the tradeoff might be worth it for the manufacturers.

Absolutely. Inconsistency is sloppy, increases cognitive burden while reading code, and can hide bugs. Everyone should take the time to setup their editor to format their code consistent with the project style, it doesn't take long at

Specifically on memory ordering bugs though, philosophically speaking, are they actually bugs if the condition is impossible to hit on a given platform? From an OpenBSD perspective, I can see it being valuable to know that it means the code

Some call the Alpha memory model useful, some call it completely fucking insane. Dependent loads can be reordered! The mental overhead of working in that paradigm is just not worth it.

there is no world where using Starlink won't be easily detectable. You're beaming radio waves up into space, all you need is a helicopter with a $100 antenna.

Ah good to know. I personally only use the hue app itself, Home Assistant, and Alexa, and they all show up in all three by default.

Connecting over BT is the worst possible way. If you really want to make heavy use of the bulbs you should really have a bridge and real remotes. Zigbee is much, much faster.
