>s/learn/be indoctrinated/ Yeah, this comment demonstrates my own perspective on it quite well, in that it's likely just another bald political attack by the current administration…

For a single word response, perhaps. But for anything else I wouldn't. The entire chain will be affected from the different tokenization on down. Even if it lands in roughly the sa…

Of course they pull that kind of crap. Teens are often plenty smart, just generally naive to consequences. They'll do this kind of stuff even if we require spybotting the entire in…

You're a parent. Be the bad guy if you feel it's right. Wanting the government to levy a society-wide information tracking system because you don't want your child to be upset at y…

the only difference between a thread and a process on linux is how many structures they share. the function is identical.

it's not uncommon for runtimes to use always-zero bits from aligned pointers or bits above 48 (unused in most current 64bit CPUs) to store flags today. you don't need special 'bit-…

mandating devices provide a `NoAdult` setting, so so browsers could check it and then send something like a `x-NoAdult` header would give websites a reasonable method for distingui…

that's what the y-buffer is that the article mentions in the front-to-back rendering section. it tracks how tall each columns write is so you can use it to only write the diff betw…

You could avoid a full screen clear by using the y-buffer to draw in sky segments after rendering terrain.

>the algorithms love recommending AI content wouldn't be surprised if it's because they don't have to pay out for AI music.

'berkeley packet filters', these days 'extended berkeley packet filters', are little program snippets you can inject into the linux kernel from userland programs to run logic on ho…

this wouldn't catch overflow or underflow errors, nor does it allow non-base-10 numbers, nor does it handle negative numbers. and writing your own parser is a failure case by op's …

and I might respect your opinions if they weren't couched in vapid complaints over the formatting of casual online intercourse. nobody with an argument of substance starts off with…

I would add another to the list, which is languages where every expression yields zero or more values, particularly `jq`. there are some antecedents in Icon and xquery, but these g…

the answer to that is a functional social safety net for the innocent employees to land in, not allowing companies to violate the law with impunity.

>there is no point in code-reviewing ai-generated code the idea that you should just blindly trust code you are responsible for without bothering to review it is ludicrous.

no they don't. "department of war" is a "secondary title" of the DoD. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/09/rest... only congress can change the name.

you're responsible for understanding the ramifications of things you do if a reasonable person should recognize those ramifications. any reasonable person would have known they wer…

>How long did humanity survive without vaccines for _everything_? Oh that's right. for most of human history, half of kids died before reaching adulthood.

Selling prisoners as underpaid slave labor means everyone else now has to compete against companies using that slave labor. It's essentially cutting us twice. We both pay to house …
