Yeah, we agree on that last bit. Though technically exploding is also a "wrong result" as we saw with Crowdstrike...

I think the OP's point was that '/' is not a mathematical divide anyways. Sure, we can remove '/' and make that a happy face emoji but I don't think that changes the premise here. …

Israel is acting towards its declared objectives which it views as existential: The removal of Hamas from power in Gaza and the return of its hostages. Hamas is acting towards its …

I think the reality is that demand for good software developers is only going to grow. This has been the trend since the 1960's and it shows no signs of reversing. There have been …

The US public is not as supportive of Israel as it used to be but support is still broad. The opinions you're reflecting are a small minority. I would expect that democrats lost vo…

Totally agree. Not only would a coverage guided fuzzer catch this they should also be adding every single file they send out to the corpus of that automated fuzz testing so they ca…

It's all standard Linux metrics that node-exporter exposes. Mostly from procfs.

As far as I'm aware there's never a requirement to use a specific product/technology for compliance. The standards will require processes or something very general and the way a co…

Yeah... I understood the ask ;) In your example the tab is strictly finger-picking over chords since that's how the song goes but some tabs are lead guitar tabs which might be slid…

you don't need to airgap it. just limit the access to the specific APIs/access to the database and block everything else. CrowdStrike won't be able to upgrade itself through your d…

But that's not useful. So you're saying just put on a CMaj13 grip for playing anything in a scale to the OP? On your 7 string guitar? EDIT: Also you have to be missing at least one…

A lot of tabs do have them... Also you're not always picking notes from a chord, though I guess often you are.

I've used a 3090 and some of the predecessors and VM/CMS. The "monitor" was called CP (control program) IIRC. XEDIT was a great editor. There was also Rexx (and previously EXEC and…

Rexx (EDIT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rexx )

I have a fair bit of experience writing tests for concurrent code that uses timers on Go. We started with an open source test library ( https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/benbjohnson/cl…

Wouldn't the deadline be now+zero for real time audio applications? If I'm building a guitar pedal (random example) ideally I want no delay from the input to the output. Any digita…

If you have a buffer that's being clocked out and your goal is to keep data flowing, the jitter is going to influence how small your buffer can be. Let's say you're producing 56Khz…

You don't really do these any more on a modern CPU. This is stuff I used to do 30 years ago and you might still do if you're on a micro-controller or some other tiny system. The CP…

Yes. Most modern Ethernet isn't running on shared media (i.e. there are no collisions) and for the most part no packet loss as long as there's no congestion. For networks and for t…

Was doing some Googling and came across: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakout_(video_game) I never heard this story...

IIRC reading some Intel CPU design history some of their designers are from a CS/software background. But I agree. Software is naturally very sequential which is different than dig…

I think the key word above was modern. I felt able to design a simple CPU when I finished my Computer Architecture course in university. I think I forgot most of it by now ;) There…

Yeah! fast, clean, cool, unique.

Right. It confused me but re-reading PG's post he's certainly making that distinction. Yeah- I have seen the bash your head against a wall and not take any input kind of stubborn.

Obstinant can just be a nay-sayer though? Someone who isn't even trying to solve the problem their way but someone getting in the way of problems being solved at all. I have a lot …
