I think tweaking the garbage collector when running on native is a specialized use case. Anecdotally, the projects using native image I'm aware of don't tweak the garbage collector settings that are available in the community version at all. If throughput is critical enough to warrant garbage collector fine tuning, there's a decent chance you'll run it on a VM anyway. Of course, there are exceptions, but I don't think this is a limitation for most projects.

That being said, most of the JVM projects I'm very familiar are written in Clojure, so they may well be outliers compared to Java or other JVM languages.
Wirth was on the committee that worked on what was then referred to as "Algol X", but at the time there was no agreement on what exactly that would be. His (and Hoare's) proposal was more incremental relative to Algol 60, removing some features and adding others - most importantly, first-class strings, pointers, and structs - while retaining the overall syntax and semantics.

This proposal did not get enough support on the committee, though. Some people rejected it because they saw the additions as too minor, not warranting a whole new language so early. Others didn't like the fact that it relied on the same BNF + verbiage approach to define the spec that resulted in numerous ambiguities to Algol 60 (which was supposed to be rectified by the new formalism just developed by van Wijngaarden).

So Algol 68 ended up evolving in a different direction overall, which Wirth consistently criticized, and stepped down from IFIP after it published the first draft of the language. He took his own proposal and turned it into Algol W; and that, in turn, became Pascal.

So you could say that some of the concepts that made it into Pascal compared to Algol-60 - namely, pointers and records - had the same origin as those in Algol-68, but the point of divergence precedes either language.

It's part of what's called the Universal Service Obligation (USO) for which Telstra (the dominant carrier) is responsible for delivering:

https://www.infrastructure.gov.au/media-technology-communica...

The money comes from a levy on telecommunications carriers (Telstra included, but also most of it's competitors). There was a bit of conjecture in the media that the "free" payphones were really being paid for by the other telcos, once the money Telstra contributes is discounted.

It does feel like GitLab is at do everything and do it at 70% efficiency of dedicated tools, zone and with the trend of being slow and constant bugs, the internal must be too complicated for developers to grasp and that kind of project can never get out of that trend unless rewritten efficiently.

What approach would be faster that provides similar isolation? It certainly seems a lot faster than fork and seemingly faster than the on-demand-fork I mentioned elsewhere.

Not really. Reddit also has similar issues of being forced to choose a "governing" subreddit.

If you end up participating in subreddits that discuss political topics the mods of subreddit A will ban you for even participating in subreddit B. Or the mods or some other user on the subreddit will report you after trawling through your post history.

Now I am not fully against this. If you find a user in you subreddit who has a habit of posting opinions on some other subreddit that go on the lines of "Women should not be allowed to work and are only mean to make kids" they probably are functioning on a very different set of axioms and will probably make your space worse with their participation.

But things can get petty pretty quickly.

So you essentially end up maintaining different alts for different topics or subreddits.
This is interesting to me because I have a lot of ideas that get cut short as soon as my bias toward action kicks in. “Write then do” sounds like a good practice, though I’d be more interested in using a foam daily note. The calendar visualization is nice, and the availability of a website is nice.
This is a wildly disingenuous response. If you claim that you saw Bigfoot, and your evidence is a sketch on the back of a napkin, I don't need to carefully study the sketch to reject it as useful evidence.

Counterpoint: well-designed feature flags encourage good design and modularity. Rather than sneaking my hacks all over the codebase, if I’m going to sneak a non-backwards compatible change somewhere, I’ll need to explicitly put it behind my feature flag, and it’s immediately apparent not only to reviewers but also future maintainers that my feature is the one that changed behavior. It’s also documentation: this is why this change is necessary. And removing a flag, even when the feature is stable, removes those guardrails.

I don't get the whole stiffness argument. If the frame is not stiff then some of my energy goes into flexing the frame back and forth as I pedal, and eventually gets wasted as heat. This is bad if I'm into some sort of competitive riding. But if I ride the bike just for the exercise, then I'm interested in wasting energy and I don't care too much about how it was wasted.

For all sorts of testing reasons, there has to be a way to disable the JIT. There has to be a way to disable sandboxing. There has to be a way to bypass the GPU acceleration blacklist, and there has to be a way to launch without GPU acceleration on non-blacklisted hardware. Thank god the options exist!

It’s definitely his most personal book, he spent many years writing it and it feels like everything he had written before that point was just a prelude to Suttree. It also helps that it’s less unrelentingly bleak than his other work, for instance in the episode of the ‘moonlight melonmounter’. He’s always had an impressive way with words

> Despite popular misconception, what docker does not give you is a deterministic way to build that software.

I read an interesting thought: reproducibility is a spectrum. Docker isn't as reproducible as nix, but when used with version control and ci/cd, is damn more reproducible than zips with code and ftping them to servers.
Not necessarily so. Lots of expensive developments have HOAs so it's not about making life difficult for people of little means as they cannot afford property in these places -or even rent in these places. Yet, the neighborhood want to have some governance over the development. I prefer less oversight, but some oversight is appreciated to keep things from becoming unmanageable. On the other hand trailer parks, where many poor live, seem to not care much about appearance.

> Although you have to use the same capitalization rules for all passwords if you have any hope of remembering them.

So no additional combinations from that. Your algorithm is simple and common enough that it's possible that an attacker can figure it out from a single leaked password. With one leaked password they've compromised all of your passwords to anything they have the capability of trying a few million passwords on.
So did he doxx her or didn't he?

Maybe he did something else, and that is bad, but let's not move goalposts.

> he retweeted someone who doxxed her email address

"Doxxing" for revealing email address a bit exaggeration. This is also bad, but doxxing usually means revealing something which may give people significant distress. Like home address.

Also if there's a screenshot of such tweet. Since it seems to be disappeared from the internet, probably nobody really cared.

> Musk is setting his army of fanboys loose on Lopez

This is journalistic exaggeration. There's no proof of that in the article. Mentioning someone in Twitter does not mean he intentionally sets "his army of fanboys".
I agree, almost looks like it’s a CGI image generated specifically to illustrate banding.
I haven't read All the Pretty Horse but No Country for Old Men is in my top 5 favorite books of all time. The movie is great but couldn't really do the book justice. The opening monologue from Sherriff Bell (Tommy Lee Jones's character) is just one of many in the book, with Bell telling stories about his past as a lawman and soldier and the sorts of people he encountered at the start of each chapter. His monologues provide a context to everything that's happening in the story, making it clear that it's about the nature of evil and what men can (and can't) do about it.
The word "Zygote" will actually be really clear to anyone who's been exposed to Chrome's multiprocess architecture.

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/docs/l...

> A zygote process is one that listens for spawn requests from a main process and forks itself in response. Generally they are used because forking a process after some expensive setup has been performed can save time and share extra memory pages.

With that background, --zygote isn't actually a flag at all. If you click on it it takes you to a string constant, but that string is actually a value for the --type flag. e.g. anzygote process would have `--type=zygote`.

`--type` is itself an internal flag, explaining it's lax description of "Flags spied upon from other layers.". However it is briefly described in the documentation I linked above.
Ha yes, yes it is. There are so many flags in a typical google3 program that there are a bunch of metaflags to change the way the usage message is printed. Because --helpfull is going to show you several megabytes of junk.

Some CPUs don’t have any floating point support.

Back in the day, this was the case for the ARMv5 CPUs used by a major phone manufacturer and the software JPEG decoder couldn’t use floats. IIRC you only really needed them when doing YUV -> RGB conversions, so that was all done through integer arithmetic instead.
I was hoping case sensitivity would be implemented but it seems like it was too controversial. I'm thinking at this point there might be too much resistance.

Making the ban be for fewer venues would be way easier.

CRTs hold a deadly charge for minutes to hours after being unplugged. CRTs can also emit x-rays if you bypass safety circuits. And touching a live flyback would be shaking hands with death.

A heavier wheel, just like a heavier bike in general, doesn't "better resist drag". Yes, it makes the bike slow down slower, just as it makes it harder to speed up the bike.

When people say heavier bikes and/or wheels "resist drag better", it sounds like all that extra mass somehow magically makes it so that you need less power on the pedals to maintain speed. That is simply wrong.

The interesting thing is that graphics cards in the 90s - which were "desktop accelerators" past the low end - specifically supported accelerated 2D primitives, including Bezier curves for the more powerful ones. It was all gradually dropped as cards focused on 3D games specifically.
"Perl" and "more reasonable language" don't belong together. It's a complete oxymoron. The Rust syntax is entirely compositional, other than the || delimiters (which introduce a fresh binding to the subsequent block), and the ? which involves abnormal control flow.
Well, following that logic, one should also commit suicide. I hope no one is logical enough to do that.
This seems very fragile. I tried your initial prompt, asked for "Give an example of the bitwise and swap trick" and got the XOR swap trick. I replied " you used sed xor, I wanted to use bitwise and", and it went straight back to printing incorrect code.

Amigas used a CRT as a display (had to do that on more than one occasion). Amigas also had a few different expansion cards that made doing TV work possible. The Toaster was the biggie for doing actual TV work and not just displaying a signal. There were other cards that I'm losing the names of right now. The card that allowed you to move your animation frame sequences to the hard drive built onto the card to play back in real time as component video. Then there was the Kitchen Sync that allowed a couple of non-genlocked inputs as usable/stable sources for the Toaster.

Edit: By CRT I meant just any monitor with RCA composite video input compared to a monitor with a VGA type input.

Edit2: remembered the name of the card the "PAR" (personal animation recorder). This site has some info on several of the boards including the PAR: https://shop.myamigashop.com/blogs/blogs/information-page-fo...

You should do some deeper research into how what recycling really is.

It is that hard when the vast majority of it is just buried. And the take that it needs to be at the consumer level is corporate brainwashing - if corporations aren’t allowed to use plastic excessively, that would alleviate waste far more than any recycling campaign ever has.

Just make sure to consider the sources you’re using to formulate your opinions.
