With Gerrit, you have the patch that lands on master and then you have the stages that that patch went through to get to that point, reviews on older versions of the patch, etc. al…

I don't get this. No I did not write that code but I paid money to eg. Anthropic to buy that code. To me it sounds like I own it just the same.

ninja supports separate build groups and different max number of parallel jobs for each. CMake's ninja generator puts compilation and linking steps in their own respective groups. …

Certificates need expiration dates to be able to garbage collect certificate revocation lists.

Sure but you have to learn to use it. I'm saying that just have AI generate a SvelteKit project instead and you'll get better mileage out of it.

My impression is that tools that grew complex only because they want to serve every use case under the son got obsoleted by AI, and static site generators like Hugo are a good exam…

Type inference is when you try to infer a type from its usage. ``auto`` does no such thing, it just copies a known type from source to target. Target has no influence over source's…

ICE meaning in-circuit emulator in this instance, I assume?

The (non-existing) license doesn't say it was to be "published in the web"

> Again, this just isn't true. Again, it just is true. More fs-related operations mean less kthreads available for others . More syscalls means more OS overhead. It's that simple.

More system calls mean more overall OS overhead eg. more context switches, or as you say more contention on internal locks etc. Also, more fs-related system calls mean less availab…

%70 faster = you wait less 35x less system calls = others wait less for the kernel to handle their system calls

Ursula K. Leguin has a thought-provoking piece in this vein about why she wrote sci-fi: https://web.archive.org/web/20191119030142/http://theliterar... EDIT: Here's a better link: …

Man, I loved Neuromancer when I read it as a kid. Yes, it's a tough book to read, especially today where there are too many distractions as well as too many works of art built on t…

> the lack of standardization for name-mangling I don't see the point of standardizing name mangling. Imagine there is a standard, now you need to standardize the memory layout of …

> So whilst the result isn't a direct multiplication it should still be an acceptable use since the resulting code will actually be doing multiplications. First, nope, if it's not …

This line is part of the code that creates an AST-like structure that is then fed into the compiler. The actual multiplication is done by calling the function handle returned from …

When implementing the lock-free stuff, was portability (across processors) a goal? If yes, did you have to deal with anything specific? Do you notice any difference in behavior of …

AFAICT the consensus is to say that an uninitialized variable (eg. int i;) has "garbage value". I'd say it's rather a technical term than profanity.

Unless you mutter the magic incantation "C compatibility" while doing it

"Force" upgrades? What do you mean?

To my knowledge, meili is free software (MIT license) so theoretically, it should be possible to embed it to an IOS app.
