It's like Elon Musk and dates. If he puts a date on it, it's not happening.

The policy isn't necessary to close the PR. The policy just helps to shut down the ensuing discussion after closing the PR. It helps in quickly dealing with well-meaning onlookers …

I have a long-standing theory that the most significant factor is the weather.

Blame Perl. As far as I can tell, they started it.

You're already the product. They're just looking for the buyers.

An LLM cannot lie to you. Lying would imply that it somehow knows the truth, and chooses to tell you something other than the truth. The LLM doesn't know anything. It's just provid…

For those of us that have been using Linux for a long time (since 1999, here), the improvements have been incremental, and hard to spot over time. But sometimes I encounter somethi…

NVIDIA is more than happy to forget about gaming.

That would require that they actually make the effort to develop Linux support. The current "it just works" reality is that the games developers don't need to support running on Li…

One of the biggest optimizations it offers is shrinking the size of the classes by obfuscating the names. If you're obfuscating the names anyway, there's no reason that the names h…

That's a whole lot of airtime for an autobiography. Hubris, much?

No

You presume that the people in charge have the best interests of the government in mind when they make their decisions.

This is it 100%. Zuckerberg and Musk aren't doing anything more awful than Page or Brin, but they're smart enough to understand that it's WAY easier to get away with sketchy stuff …

Now?

(void)this.ptr; // Explicit deallocation, very readable Except it's not very readable? That appears to be the same syntax used for casting.

Not likely. In the PCMAG article, they stated that he said that he'd rather someone else do it.

No, nothing really comes close to the M4 Max right now. Intel and AMD have really dropped the ball in the last few years. I'm considering replacing my Dell with an M5 when they (pr…

I wonder if there are no text files to provide.

My ThinkPad Z61T had a Core 2 Duo. That was a great laptop.

The continuation of X11 is likely not why he was banned.
