    GCC and VC++ supported anonymous structs and unions long before C11.

    You never know what's going on in the mind of another person, they could have something going on that makes them feel negatively about qemu. We can project our stress into all kind…

    The other thing is that qemu is so many things. It can be a CPU emulator, a full system emulator, and a frontend to a virtualization engine. And all of this for so many different s…

    The M dash stands out, as does "no bindings, ..." but I feel like the LLM would have gotten the correct use of the question mark when they rhetorically ask "why?"

    Sounds like quite an ordeal, hope things are going well now.

    Seems like the title order is incorrect at the time of this comment. It says Qwen 3.0 Image, but it's Qwen Image 3.0.

    Doesn't zwave use a different frequency, and zigbee and thread are both 2.4ghz? Perhaps that makes it a more fair comparison?

    Doubtful. Ogg is a container format. Celt is a specific audio codec. I believe celt was superseded by opus.

    I've used unix-like OS's for 28 years and I don't remember coming across it as a password. It is a common username (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toor_(Unix) ), the machine I …

    Win95 technically had better memory protection than classic Mac OS, but that didn't matter much when you ran something that crashed the whole system.

    Having a root password of "toor" is very clever. Nobody will figure that one out.

    I remember when I got into Linux in 1998, I had an Intel machine but it was common to hear from people in online communities with macs talking about mklinux. A little bit later the…

    It has the vibe of a corporate company doing post hoc justification for a decision they already made. And then the commenter provides a parallel to how willing they were to put mon…

    Probably not right to diagnose an allegory, but does it sound to anyone else like Jim might have bipolar disorder?

    When you mmap a file read only, the OS fills it in on a page fault by reading. There's no writes.

    What I was able to skim is a bit more complex like that. Page 42 of Part 2 says using it "as a tool" produces copyrightable works: > As described above, in many circumstances these…

    I'm not a lawyer, but based on everything I've read on the topic I think there's a solid argument that there are legitimate questions about the use of copyrighted material in train…

    Questions of identity are established at a higher level in user mode by TLS. Pushing all that into the other side of the kernel interface again seems not great.

    Comment #49099258

    Imagine if handling that were a kernel feature completely hidden from you and there was no way to replace it in user mode, or even have visibility into its failure modes. I'd say t…

    I disagree with this. Separating lookup from connect(2) or sendmsg(2) is cleaner. If an application doesn't care about the difference, most people are using higher level APIs built…

    It is exactly the United States you grew up in. You just were not aware. It's not like people having good reason to be skeptical of police is a new thing.

    It's not standard conforming C. asm() is an extension.
