For what it’s worth, it seems like it’s this “journalist” trying to make a sensational headline
The researchers themselves very clearly just tried to see if it could happen in our reality
“We decided to look at the probability of a given string of letters being typed by a finite number of monkeys within a finite time period consistent with estimates for the lifespan of our universe,”
I was reasonably certain, but left it open in case OP knew of some edge case where flags that are intended to be machine independent caused bugs on different architectures
-O2 vs -O3 adds

I don’t think any of these optimizations require more modern hardware?
I’ve used Matrix since the app was called Riot.im and there was no encryption
I didn’t realize once encryption was added, that there were still metadata leaks as compared to Signal
Could you give me some information on what metadata is unencrypted, or point me towards documentation about that?
For historical info - Oracle bought OpenOffice and started to close it down, so all the developers that worked on it forked it into LibreOffice
Oracle has since given OpenOffice to an open source group, Apache, but the main development still happens on LibreOffice
Yeah. The crowd rooting for Qualcomm has never worked with them
ARM has it’s problems, but they aren’t in the wrong here
Is that how you think about your bills?
“Your rent can be paid on the 10th, and you can pay late up to the 31st”
Every carrier lets you use an unlocked phone on their network
T-Mobile no longer lets you buy unlocked phones from them
All of the security features mentioned in the article even started from work done by GrapheneOS - they’re simply upstreamed now
Microsoft has agreed to purchase all of the power from the reactor over the next 20 year
The original reporting sounded decent - Microsoft was spinning up a decommissioned reactor, everyone wins
This new reporting of they can’t afford it makes it seem like a bad idea in its entirety
I agree it’s dumb, but I’m also trying to understand how politicians think changing the tax rate for healthier or less healthy foods can possibly affect behavior in the USA when it’s set up this way in stores
There’s some evidence it somehow works https://publichealth.berkeley.edu/news-media/research-highlights/do-soda-taxes-work
But I’ve never known what I’ll be taxed on a specific item
My belief that it’s intended to incentivize behavior is from talks about things like the “soda tax,” where some goods are taxed at a different rate to try to reduce consumption
I don’t understand how they can be effective when you don’t see the price on the sticker, though
I mean, it’s internally consistent with the inbetween too, for the first three:
They went Xbox, did a 360 to face the same direction, and re-released the Xbox 1
If your speedometer/tachometer is a screen instead of dials, it’s extremely likely it’s running Linux, too
So still somewhat useful in the auto space
I was all in on GOG 10-12 years ago when they said they were working on Linux support “soon”
After so many years of promises and no action, while Valve pays developers to improve Linux gaming, I’d rather buy from Steam
Prices tend to be similar between the platforms here, though
It’s not just betas - it’s in the main release, too
We’re still using them on machines where performance doesn’t matter
On build machines, they’re on a special VLAN and don’t have endpoint protection, but they only download from a protected mirror
Their ftrace hooks caused all disk usage to be serialized, making your multi-core processor single-core when doing anything I/O bound
We saw between 500% - 800% increases in build times with their software installed
Oh god. Sentinel one is horrible. If they’re taking issue with your testing, you’ve really screwed the pooch
We were taught about OpenMP in like 2012 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenMP
Intel’s TBB was also used some, but not as frequently https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threading_Building_Blocks
