It was not. It was implemented by Dylan Taylor, an outside contributor who works at a fintech company in North Carolina, and has made it his hobby to submit PRs implementing age ve…

NB that you could already add your own freeform fields; it just added that field to userdbctl and friends.

GCC has `[[gnu::musttail]] return`. But yes, framing TCO as an optimization is unfortunate.

> along with their style of development: patches onto mailing lists I mean that's also Git's style of development.

I'm surprised to see that it's OK that he has opensource AHB/APB stuff in it--I'd avoided learning them too much about them assuming that they were ARM proprietary.

I mean no disrespect to Luke Wren, but he did not write it in 2026; he wrote it in 2018-2021. :)

I think "ASIC design" engineer is under-selling him--he's working on their CPU cores too!

He works at Raspberry Pi, and designed the Hazard3 RISC-V core that is at the heart of the RP2350--although he did Hazard3 in his spare time. It's actually a fork of the "Hazard5" …

Heh, I assumed he was referring to "Scott the Woz" Scott Wozniak, a vintage-gaming youtuber. I assumed that the GP took a more literal attack on "only one 'Woz'", hile you took a m…

"CL"/"Change List" is the lingo for the Gerrit code review tool, which is how all contributions to Go happen. Creating a GitHub PR simply triggers a bot to create a Gerrit CL, whic…

First they said you wouldn't be able to travel unless you had a Real ID by 2008. Then they delayed it. Many times. Based on which airport/facility and what state your ID was from, …

In 2005, we decided that we were going to have Real ID by 2008. We're now looking at a 2027 completion date.

The correct answer is `go mod vendor && cat vendor/modules.txt`

Linux on PA-RISC also has an upward-growing stack (AFAIK, it's the only architecture Linux has ever had an upward-growing stack on; it's certainly the only currently-supported one)…

In 2002, Caldera licensed Research Unix Gotta stick the "This product includes software developed or owned by Caldera International, Inc." notice on it though.

TL;DR: Not the FSF, but SFC; email compliance@sfconservancy.org The dominant legal theory is that the GPL can only be enforced by the party holding the copyright. SFC's lawsuit aga…

libgccjit is much higher level than what's documented in the "GCC Internals" manual.

...yes? Hence me saying that 'composition' and 'polymorphism' have often been unnecessarily coupled together in 'inheritance'? Compare: Ruby mixins or Go embedded struct fields.

Inheritance is just the unnecessary coupling of composition and polymorphism.

Yes, subscribing to bullshit I don't want them to work on will surely send the signal that they're focusing on the wrong things!

While exact definitions vary, it's a term of art for Research Unix ≤ V7, perhaps plus or minus a version, perhaps including contemporary derivatives.

At the same time, it's easy to believe that MIT of 2013 is very different than MIT of 1988.
