Yeah, I'm not interested in decoding what you meant by your aphorism. Either say what you mean or don't.

System V ABI is pretty standardized.

It's possible in the future we will have Rick and Morty style AI in literally everything just because it's so easy to add it. Sentient Switchblade: "Hi Beth! You've gotten taller! …

Those who can't do, teach.

I explained in detail why value classes will not outdate this criticism. The syntax is not the point - the point is the very fact that they had to add new syntax means that they co…

My criticism was not "you can't do this" - my criticism was that Java requires an overengineered GC to compensate for its fundamental language flaws that make optimization all but …

I assume you're referring to value classes? The very fact that Project Valhalla had to create new opt-in syntax for value classes, in order to get what Go does by default on all it…

Yeah, they have to be in order to make up for the braindead decision of making every variable a pointer to heap allocated memory. Go wins not by technical ingenuity, but by simply …

What do you mean by "strict typing of its index"?

Language is more than just its syntax and features. The most important "features" of Go are fast compilation, orthogonality of features, and easy development. Their propositions ma…

On ARM systems with LSE both weak and strong compile to the same CAS instruction anyway. On LL/SC, using strong means CPU will attempt to retry the same exchange on spurious failur…

> NOTE: Throughout our implementation we strictly use compare_exchange_strong, but the C++ standard suggests that for some systems like ARM it mighe be a better idea to run a loop …

VMs and containers are fairly isolated and reproducible. A separate user on your machine still depends on the programs installed locally.

For the first time in human history, military power doesn't require advantage in numbers. The rich will simply build an artificial army and use it to control everything. Kinda like…

Exactly. You've hit the nail on the head. And quite frankly, your AI slop garbage radar is not just an indicator of good taste — it's the essence of humanity that keeps you above i…

I can get the same thing with an aux cable

In some corporate networks, everything is locked tight, and if you want any access (outbound or inbound), you have to send a request with business justification. What we had was ma…

How do you use -J to connect to a device that isn't publicly reachable?

There's an old blogpost I wrote at the time I came up with this method [0]. I think it contains most of the technical details. Let me know if anything is confusing, I'll answer it …

How would you use ProxyJump with Reverse Forwarding?

If you have many different remote devices behind NATs or firewalls, a cool trick to access them all via EC2 server (or such) is to setup Remote Forwarding via UNIX socket on the se…

Maybe superficially, but most of them are unbalanced, leading to a handful of meta builds being overpowered.

Meta-gaming is a natural progression in all human games. Chess players find "metas" like openings. It's just that video games are too simple and have very restricted meta set.

By themselves, they don't. But quantum probabilities are unique. They cannot be explained by missing information about local, pre-existing properties. Therefore, to maintain determ…
