The path should be arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S

It must be a typo. The path should actually be arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S

I lost. You just ruined my longest "winning" streak ever.
Re:Rust 1.79.0 on Thursday June 13, 2024 @11:14AM (#40670710)
Great work! I'm particularly excited about the ability to write trait bounds in associated type positions. This feels like a natural extension of the existing capabilities. Enhancements like this make the language even more enjoyable to use.

I was just about to post neocities, but then got distracted by all the cool sites.
Re:Tell HN: Hacker News now supports IPv6 on Monday January 22, 2024 @11:10PM (#39099551)
Several additional bytes over millions of packets where the data frame is ~10bytes seems potentially significant. I'm less interested in HTTP
Re:Tell HN: Hacker News now supports IPv6 on Monday January 22, 2024 @11:08PM (#39099535)
That makes sense. I'm very curious about real-world studies. As a gamer, I'm especially interested in the affect ipv6 has on UDP for real time gaming applications. That's an area where even 5ms can have an enormous affect on the experience.
Re:Tell HN: Hacker News now supports IPv6 on Monday January 22, 2024 @10:58PM (#39099476)
Does ipv6 result in higher latencies? I could see larger addresses increasing latency, but then again I could also see a more efficient protocol resulting in lower net latency. I should probably read a book describing the differences.
You can swap out the scheduler dynamically using eBPF!? That's incredible.
Re:More Teens Who Use Marijuana Are Suffering from Psychosis on Thursday January 11, 2024 @12:06AM (#38947924)
This. I consider myself very lucky. Smoked on and off for the first couple of years while at college and then one day I had a full blown psychotic episode. I genuinely believed I was dead and in hell. It took me a whole year quitting all drugs (caffeine, alcohol, marijuana) to begin to feel somewhat normal again. It's been about 12 years since that day and it feels like a distant memory.
Re:Firefox on the Brink? on Tuesday December 05, 2023 @09:46AM (#38531460)
I agree. I'm not a Firefox fanboy. It has literally run better for me than Chrome for a few years now.
Re:Firefox on the Brink? on Tuesday December 05, 2023 @09:44AM (#38531415)
I have not experienced this. Could it be because I only browse the web with uBlock Origin enabled?
Re:Sam Altman returns as CEO, OpenAI has a new initial board on Wednesday November 29, 2023 @10:04PM (#38468955)
Why? I'm genuinely curious. I'm not a particularly wealthy individual paying for ChatGPT and I didn't flinch at the news.
Re:RHEL 10 will be Wayland only; what does this mean for X.org? on Wednesday November 29, 2023 @02:44PM (#38464258)
Does anyone actually run RHEL with an X server?
Re:No One Wants to Pay Anymore on Sunday November 19, 2023 @08:27PM (#38340939)
I took a $60k pay cut for a quarter of the stress... I think it was worth it. Definitely saved my life for the first 6 mo. Now I want more of course lol. Honestly, I hate that I'm so driven by money. If money wasn't a concern, I would reverse engineer or program low-level systems instead of webapps and devops/sre
Outside of CA?
Re:Cup Noodles are now microwave-safe on Saturday November 04, 2023 @07:04PM (#38146138)
How much should I worry that I've microwaved cup noodles for the past 10 years at approximately five cups per year?

Windows support, woohoo!

Re:Firefox finally outperforming Google Chrome in SunSpider on Tuesday August 15, 2023 @11:36AM (#37135263)
I am pleased with the performance of Firefox over Chrome in every area except GPU-related tasks. I've noticed most (all?) sites that use my GPU (1080 Ti) regularly run around an order of magnitude slower on Firefox than Chrome on my Windows desktop.

I so badly want a VR/AR headset that gives me a super crisp, super high resolution, low latency virtual monitor that I can easily move around
What does Kubernetes use instead?
Why is WebGPU a thing rather than just exposing Vulkan in the browser?
There are people who enjoy learning for learning's sake.

I would also love an updated edition that includes additional content. The errata is regularly included with updated prints [1][2].
