FTFY: At the time noone was buying windows because they pirated it.
IE was not really free. You still had to buy Windows.
Interesting and the illustrations help but still very dense with jargon. Right from the start "autocrystal is an extreme point of the body of window statistics"...what?
Probably only intended for mathematicians.
Classical physicists had conceptual difficulty when something stopped behaving as "body" even macroscopically. For example when they tried to determine coefficient of friction of pure coper, throughly cleaned, in vacuum to prevent any oxidation, the surfaces cold-welded together. The copper did not get the memo that it is supposed to be two physical bodies.
The index problem is interesting, maybe indexes should be updated synchronously at DELETE time? Guess there's architectural reason why postgres can't do that. I'd try to do it manually, by adding "deleted" column to both table and index whether it's performant(edit: that copies whole row so not likely).
Reading the replies...basically all kinds of learned helplessness :(
I respectfully but firmly disagree that having buffer length information available for a pointer is "extraneous".
I see, checking buffer boundaries for heap allocated pointers is very exotic usecase in C. /s
My biggest bewilderment with C is that malloc has to store the buffer size otherwise free could not work...but nobody in decades thought to make this information accessible to the programmer! If you want to keep track of buffer bounds in C, you have to do it artisanally. Despite it's, in most implementations, stored right there next to the data and thus in L1 cache already.
You might like recent Numberphile videos on youtube about noble polyhedra that were figured out by 17 year old. There's an interview with him too where you can see what is the person like.
So what if few people started to "misperceive themselves" as ADHD? Why it's considered a reason for panic?
The increased awareness genuinely helps to many others. I suspect there's widespread denial do be untangled, too.
Hard to get sincerely engaged when the genuine achievement is surrounded by insanity like mars colonization or gigawatt datacenters in orbit, both in a decade. Oh and I even saw spacex touted as anti-DEI success story...
zswap is back in kernel?
Edit: seems I got confused there, only frontswap layer was removed, and zcache
Use zram instead. This from crappy 8G RAM multimedia/browsing minipc I'm on right now. The SSD is quite slow and browser is memory hungry so it was an improvement from on disk swap.
$ zramctl

The sad irony of "Share this post on..." with neat list of all the services doing exactly what the post warns against. They can and often are already used by police state.
Since curl has minimal non-copyleft license, Microsoft can just use it as is.
However seems they lost capability to properly maintain anything, most obvious problems will be patched with AI crap at best.
At first glance it can work only by completely disabling the meaning-seeker part of the wearer's personality. Ennui and existential/absurd feelings can't be resolved by indulgence.
Would it make Sisyphus happy without bypassing the implied will of gods that he shall be forever fully conscious in order to suffer? Someone pls give the earring to poor dude.
Nope. Some even refuse to print black and white when yellow ink tuns off.
I personally burned out. Yes free internet was helpful when I was discovering my gay sexuality. Now it hypercharges the cult of youth and beauty, making it impossible to date.
Yes, I was great advocate of self hosting, till due to combination of ADHD and other stuff my domain expired and was taken by squatter. And the incessant DDoSing.
And the tone-deaf arguments completely ignoring that there are bad people on the internet too. Talking about online anonymity when google has most of your email even if you don't use it. And Cloudflare has most of your traffic, unencrypted.
Repercussions happen all the time. That nothing happened in this one case does not prove or disprove anything.
You don't have the right to say anything NOW already. Please wake up.
Yep, pretending we have anonymity online is a nonsense.
By painting everything so black and white you're doing propaganda too, are you aware?
Freedom of expression is not absolute and never was.
Should everyone just shrug off anonymous hoaxes and hate speech?
What do you think the actual bandwidth speed on the voyager or new horizons is. You are spending lot of time sending the data anyway.
Does it solve the brine problem? Usually the seawater must be heavily treated first before desalination and the resulting brine causes ecological problems when discharged.
If you don't understand what the library is doing, and blindly put in local time without any consideration, you will get bitten someday. And all libraries use the same timezone database/logic anyway and run into same issues the author describes.
Humans would often fail such appointments too.
This is incredibly bad summary. If it were about prescription meds, they can be bought on gray market, problem solved.
