Oh, grabbed the wrong link. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/12/steamos-vs-windows-o...

Why do you link that article but not this one? https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/11/ars-benchmarks-show-s...

It's not like the State Department would ever mention Kim Jong the Second in documents.

Stories were selected by site mods (editors) and that's censorship, man!

Why not? The Wayback Machine predates the National Emergency Library by many years, suggesting it is possible for one to exist without the other.

Why not? This wasn't found by source review. The computer was slow, somebody looked into why. The bug was discovered via analysis of binary artifacts, and only then traced back to …

That article is very confused. They're saying that transglutaminase, street name meat glue, extracted from bacteria is literally the same thing as pink slime. Lean finely textured …

Do you have a source for transglutiminase used to put the pink slime back together? This is the first I'm hearing it. I thought they just stirred it into the ground beef.

Are you confusing pink slime and meat glue?

So... 0.5? Thanks. :)

Quote a different standard.

This is incorrect. In a function definition, an empty list means it takes no parameters. 6.7.5.3 Function declarators > 14. An empty list in a function declarator that is part of a…

Extremely hard working "could".

"People" could really use a number attached to it.

I'll take the contrary position and argue that most ints are floats, because ints are not uniformly distributed. 0, 1, 10, etc. are far more common.

Can you elaborate on what's wrong with this post?

I just ran cargo check on nushell, and it took a minute and a half. I didn't time how long it took to compile, maybe five minutes earlier today? So I would call it faster, but stil…

You can copy from a zero sized pointer with memcpy, but not NULL.

I ran a qotd server for a while, only retired two months ago actually. It wasn't very popular.

Shared memory, like shm_open and fd passing, would be even faster and fully portable.

This seems likely to create some inexplicable performance elbows where you have 1000 strings, but there's one code path that replaces one with a number, and now the whole array nee…

The funny bit is the other six control codes are mapped ctrl-2 to nul, and ctrl-3 forward to the five remaining.

Is this consequential for a project the size of chromium?

A solid 40% of George's questions were deemed great. (Not counting some fluff like what's your job.)
