MCPRUE sells shameless ripoffs of the Mac Pro case, but with support for standard motherboard sizing, if you really want your PC to double as a cheese grater: https://www.mcprue.co…

> For the longest time (and for good reasons), floating point operations were considered unsafe for deterministic purposes. That is still true to some extent, but the picture is mo…

> I was expecting a unified interface across all architectures, with perhaps one or two architecture-specific syscalls to access architecture-specific capabilities; but Linux sysca…

> I use about 1500kWh a year, but I don’t need aircon and heating is district heating. That's 171 W on average, that's about the same as my refrigerator (~150 W on average).

Well, except for inf, -inf, and nan.

> Compilers can do whatever they want when they see UB, and accessing an unassigned and unassiganble (file-local) variable is UB, therefore the compiler can just decide that *foo i…

There are some even funnier cases like this one: https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/cbscGf8ss The compiler sees that foo can only be assigned in one place (that isn't called locally, but co…

Wrong way around: UDP sockets are datagram sockets, there are datagram sockets that are not UDP.

Describing it as 'Google' is misleading, because different arms of the company might as well be completely different companies. The Chrome org seems to have had the same stance as …

It doesn't seem obvious to me that this is actually a bug in the Android implementation, it seems like this is due to AirPods violating the spec and requiring a special handshake b…

I've found 0.8mm to make much more reliable connections, since the specification says that the tongue should be 0.7mm. 0.6mm will disconnect if the cable is angled in any way.

Seconding this, it's the only editor other than emacs that has a vim-mode that feels like it's maintained by a long term vim user.

C89: https://port70.net/%7Ensz/c/c89/c89-draft.html If the size of the space requested is zero, the behavior is implementation-defined; the value returned shall be either a null po…

Oops, no, it isn't, it's 39 MB/s, not Mb/s.

I'm currently paying for 2Gbps symmetric fiber via 10Gbps XGS-PON that's multiplexed to 32 users, which is a mere 39 Mbps per user. In practice, this is absolutely fine and I have …

There's also the entire Java standard library, which was a hilarious fuck you response to Oracle's lawsuit.

They were renumbered in x86_64 so that the syscalls that are frequently used together have their function pointers live in the same cacheline in the lookup table: https://lkml.iu.e…

This is absolutely false. This only became common when wireless networking became ubiquitous, which wasn't until probably a decade later.

The firewall was disabled by default in XP until SP2...

Back in the days of blaster, if you were connected to a network with infected machines or had a public IP address because you were connected straight into your cable modem, you wou…

The CoreWeave number is completely wrong, but Azure and Google Cloud appear to be exactly correct at 730 hours per month, which happens to be the number of hours in 365 / 12 days.

I've found CadQuery to be a pretty good replacement for my purposes, but I haven't done anything complicated with it yet, just designing 3D printed/laser cut electronics enclosures…

I'm pretty sure it was go.corp.google.com, with corp.google.com configured as one of the search domains.

Google used AMD GPUs for Stadia, not NVIDIA.
