Asking OP how many times their house got destroyed for your personal curiosity is, I would think, rather tactless.

Only if they touch the same data. If they are touching disjoint sets of data then there is no overhead to be paid by non-SERIALIZABLE transactions.

How do you know how much memory you need to allocate when you need to do the work in the first place to determine it? Maybe if snprintf was resumable by supplying a larger buffer w…

If you have PreCheck, this app has literally nothing to do whether or not the TSA will give you a pat down or not. And I don't know about you, but TSA is pretty careful about not "…

It absolutely is speculation if you haven't done the legwork and just want to throw out quick and easy takes like this.

I don't see anything about using an X.509 certificate for logging in, just for a client authenticating the remote server. And, even then, TLS has support for mutual authentication …

Speculating like this with no evidence just to peacock to everyone that you're privacy conscious is not actually helpful for anyone.

If LLMs could hallucinate Zuck executing someone they would be infinitely funnier.

If you're not familiar with Steve Yegge, this is his classic rant style. It might not be your cup of tea, but it's definitely more substantial than "AI generated blogspam", and I t…

I think unfortunately in almost all cases the spirit of the law is more important than the word of the law, and most courts frown upon this kind of chicanery. I think this encourag…

Do you actually want them to store everywhere you've ever been on their servers because they would be using their storage instead? Because I don't, and I don't care to guess what t…

Store location history remotely: this is just a scheme to invade privacy and hoover up user data. Store location history locally: this is just a scheme to cut down on storage costs…

You can always twist anything into enough knots to construe it as "blatant lies and propaganda" – clearly you've already made up your mind – so this is not an exercise worth doing …

I think you should spell out your implication.

One Black employee, cited in the report, said that “her manager suggested in front of colleagues that she was dealing drugs and carrying a gun.” Another Black employee said that a …

I don't think CspChan_closed is a super useful operation if using it is always prone to TOCTTOU issues – maybe as an optimization hint but that's about it. In Go, the receive opera…

I'm not a huge fan of government overreach either. Children should have refused to work if child labor was truly bad, and the free market would have eventually pushed child labor o…

while (!CspChan_closed(chan)) { ... } seems like a concurrency footgun – what's stopping the channel from being closed in between the check for it being closed and the operation on…

I thought this was a joke, but it really exists! https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#ocr

There is no "no politics" rule. There is only a discouragement about posting uninteresting politics.

It's all trade offs, right? Introducing a new component to your stack isn't free, it's paid for by more operational complexity. Maybe it's worth it, maybe it's not, but there is a …

I don't know why we shouldn't strive to have computers to reproduce language precisely, since computers are how we communicate most of the time and how the majority of content ends…

For that example, in Chinese 机 is an alternative orthography of 几 ( https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E6%9C%BA#Etymology_2 ) as in e.g. 茶几 – it's not perfect, but language is messy a…

I don't think Han unification is as evil as people make it out to be: the characters that got unified do share the same semantic meaning across languages, whereas Latin vs Cyrillic…
