This is the opposite, it is further opting out of flexibility.

Isn't kind of the point of TLS that your communication doesn't get 'inspected'?

I think if you interpret it charitably it means that any bug in the emitted machine code is already a likely memory-unsafe miscompilation if it is ran. The compiler itself might be…

That's a GCC skill issue. You can do it in five branchless instructions for unsigned by splitting the unsigned up in two 32-bit halves, converting those to floats simply by inserti…

Don't give these ghouls ideas.

First, this article is mostly (AI?) regurgitation. This is much better: https://smalldatum.blogspot.com/2026/01/common-prefix-skippi... . Second, I have independently invented this…

This is a dumb take. It's like not teaching kids 1 + 1 because a calculator can do it for them.

If your data is sufficiently noisy or your relationship sufficiently simple a linear regression will outperform a SOTA LLM.

It seems like there aren't extra duties (anymore), but then again it's all very confusing and hard to navigate so who knows.

You save a lot less after paying import duties.

Actually, they're making an effort to force your business to not do something.

> Is there really anything about them that's bad? Or any worse than other things? A full-on nuclear war will literally make a large portion of our planet uninhabitable for anyone f…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscription_in_Iran FWIW I don't agree with the comment chain's source, I read "regular people" as "civilians" and don't think there was any nasty co…

Copyright being as long as it is is a theft of our culture. I (and many of our generation) grew up with Pokemon, it's a common experience for many of us. A classic of our culture. …

It's just a play on words, something lightweight drifts in the wind rather than gliding on a wing. It's really not all that deep.

It's called driftsort because it's derived from another sort I made, glidesort: https://github.com/orlp/glidesort . Glidesort is a bit faster still for large inputs, however it was…

Since pdqsort (an older project of mine) was mentioned, I felt it wouldn't be entirely inappropriate to mention that I've since then collaborated with Lukas Bergdoll to provide two…

When going from float to u8 you should add a triangular dither. It makes a world of difference for grayscale gradients, even in 24bit truecolor.

The input space is 32 + 32 = 64 bits. The output space is 64 bits. So the best you can do is an 1-to-1 mapping. However, since a * b = b * a, our input space has a lot of duplicate…

There's typically only a performance penalty if the unaligned load spans a cache line on modern hardware.

No it doesn't have security implications. If you are insecure because someone has had one of their otherwise completely innocent PRs merged into your repo... you are insecure, peri…

The person you replied to was talking about selling , not buying .

> So you're just outright accusing GameStop of fraud? I have no idea why you interpret my words that way. I just meant that I didn't want to analyze the cash portion of their offer…

Alright, my company MEME offers to buy Apple then for $1 plus 100% of MEME's stock, which is worth more than Apple then since it will own Apple. If you word it like this it's just …
