If this complaint is true (my understanding is a complaint is always only one side of the story and the evidence presented may not end up being admissible, obviously IANAL and so f…

Are you an endurance athlete? I was surprised at how quickly my rhr came down after I started cycling more even though I've never been very active in my life. It also (I think!) he…

Needs a [2017]. More substantively, my company is a contractor and has publicly committed to neither working on 'weapons' nor 'destructive financial systems.' Both terms are nebulo…

MIT grads get it for free.

I've often felt this way about depression, but it's hard to tease apart the long-term after-effects of a depressive episode, the probability that my current symptoms might just be …

meh the OED has this from early old English (albeit in the form of 'heortan') in the mid-tenth century from Bald's Leechbook.

Yeah but you don't have to have either of those memberships and in big cities, at least, it's easy enough to get a hookup without them

I can get behind this. Interesting that all three examples provided are improved by removing a "to be" verb. Reminds me of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Prime

I guess I just don't see sentences like this, even from novice writers.

touche :)

That makes sense. I clearly didn't read the paratext closely enough :)

I wish I understood what "wordiness" means. Perhaps it's restating the same simple point three times in as many loose sentences. People who harp on this point usually point to the …

Embedded projects can be more complicated to build than the Linux kernel in two respects: Embedded projects are usually cross-compiled; whereas, one is ordinarily building the Linu…

Absolutely my pleasure. I tracked down the problem you commented about: I used a later version of liburing than ships with Ubuntu, so if you want to compile this as-is, you'll have…

I don't see why not. You'd open the socket on line 124 as a SOCK_DGRAM, 0 rather than what it is now for TCP. For an echo server, for instance, you wouldn't listen on the socket or…

I meant recv_multishot not multishot_accept. The one I linked does use multishot_accept. Just a think-o. Looks like your version uses both though, so that's cool.

I recently tinkered around with io_uring for a presentation. Here is a toy echo server I made with it: https://gist.github.com/martinjacobd/be50a93744b94749339afe8... (non io_uring…

I hope these people do something similar for the hp48 or 50 series, though I understand it's a big undertaking. I'd be the first person to buy it.

There is the economy of scale problem you are talking about. There is just also a difference in culture. Many of the people at my work place are burned out from big tech jobs (or e…

> maybe because I'm not in the US? Or haven't spend much time at BigCorp? My wife works at a BigCorp and I work at a small but established company. The differences in this arena co…

csail-related really wasn't all that private. Anybody at MIT could add themselves to it (and perhaps could add others to it) and many undergraduates did just to see Stallman make t…

Meh it's rare, but the IRS does occasionally pay people interest. Usually it's of the "we were reviewing taxes and you overpaid by X amount so here is (1.03)^(years)×x." Still nonz…

As even the OOP states, Dijikstra didn't choose this title, though. Niklaus Wirth did. From a different reference: > Finally a short story for the record. In 1968, the Communicatio…

Similarly, I've worn boat shoes or vans without socks since I was a freshman in high school and it's great! The only exceptions are dress shoes and when biking.

How is the experience broken for anybody? I've been on group chats with my wife and parents (all iPhoners) for years and it's totally fine. I recently got a Pixel and now even the …
