How does it compare to Intel's TBB?

Great game. Had to quit as it's giving me motion sickness.

Why would they think "its a web-site"? PWAs just look like normal phone apps.

In fact, many "normal" phone apps are basically just a web-site inside a thin wrapper. So the difference is largely academic in many cases.

Good for her!

Does it count as "disparagement" if it's true?

Modules are a disaster.

It's hard enough to get programmers to care enough about how their code affects build times. Modules make it impossible for them to care, and will lead to horrible problems when building large projects.

All of the settlers that Russia has imported into its occupied territories must be sent packing.

If AWS or WPEngine release their sources, then they are upholding their end of the bargain. Why shouldn't they make money, if they can?

If they are not releasing their sources, because of inappropriate licences, then that's what licenses like AGPL are there for.

I've got much less of a problem with AWS making money than I do with Canonical replacing GPL code with knock offs designed to cut the community out of code sharing.

So all Apple needs to do is stop gatekeeping headphone technology.

YouTube used to be mostly short videos. 2-3 minutes was typical. They've moved to longer videos by changing their algorithms to encourage creators to waffle on.

TikTok is much closer to how YouTube started out.

It'll never drop by 20%. Either it keeps on growing, or it collapses.

Given that they apparently have no new models in development, I'd expect the latter.

- Their roadmap is just updates to their existing line-up, and vapourware crap that relies on their "Full Self Driving" somehow magically starting to work.

Oh no! Free software!!

I suppose it's good that these people actually bother to read the license and intend to respect it.

About half way down the article, the author says this:

> Under this relaxed definition, we find that we cannot establish a total > order over all memory_order::seq_cst operations due to a cycle in the graph: > (2) -> (4) -> (6) -> (7) -> (2).

I don't understand why they say that "(2) -> (4)". (2) must certainly come before (3) in the context of threads 1 & 3, which both refer to X and Y. But thread 2 knows nothing about X, so AFAIK accesses to X can be arbitrarily reordered from the perspective of thread 2 - if "reordering" can even be said to have any meaning at all in a thread that knows nothing about X.

The quoted cost of wasn't for the re-roofing, it was in addition to the re-roofing:

> "[solar] adds $20,000 - 25,000 to reroofing a house"

Since all of the scaffolding or whatever is already up for the roof work, if anything the solar ought to be cheaper, in that scenario.

Then how come I heard about the Ivermectin nonsense, whining about social distancing and masks, and the ridiculous "protest" in Canada? If there was censorship, it wasn't very effective.

No.

This is dangerous nonsense.

Even the example used on the blog post is wrong (in my timezone)...

Start = date(2020-02-23) End = date(2020-04-05)

Duration = End - Start // 42 days Duration as hours // 1008 hours

2020-03-29 was the start of Summer Time, so only 23 hours long. So the duration in question should be 1007 hours.

Having a span of time using days as the only unit is fine. But there no way to convert that into a different time unit without knowing which specific days we mean.

What happens if the duration concerns something that physically moves? Was the software running on a ship that travelled from Europe to Australia between February and April?

Honestly, gushing about how dumb everyone else is, without mentioning even basic wrinkles like this just screams Dunning Kruger.

> A roof mounted solar array easily adds $20,000 - 25,000 to reroofing a house just in labor (assuming two electricians for one week on either side of the reroofing with labor priced at $150/hr)

Why do you need two electricians for a week? My rooftop solar array went up in an afternoon. They had three labourers. The (singular) electrician came in separately and worked for under and hour.

Paywall. Link?

I'm laughing too. Thanks for that.

In all honesty, I thought I was being clever by swapping the sentences around to reverse the meaning, but I didn't spot the ambiguity.

I was the one who did the rephrasing. I was clarifying its meaning for you.

Middlesbrough's problems are not the reason people in Dudley, or Stoke on Trent vote for fascists.

Um, no. Sensible people don't support the far right. The country has lost all sense, so there are fewer sensible people, so the fools who vote for the far right are on the rise.

> The country has completely lost all sense. This is why far-right is surging on the polls.

Fixed that for you.

Smells like coded antisemitism, in this case.

If your whole business revolves around shipping static libraries to customers, then surely reading the man page to work out how that can be done is part of the job.

Also, having your library rely on static initialisation doesn't seem like a very sound architectural choice.

Honestly, this just sounds like whining from someone who can't be bothered to read the documentation, and can't get the coders to take him seriously. In the time it took him to write that article, he could have read up on his tools, and probably learned some social skills too.

What about the fact that disabled parking bays are provided with more space around them, to help less able people get in/out of their cars, or even to get wheelchairs alongside the cars?

That seems like it's a much greater benefit than the reduced walk-times.

It's true. No vegan "milk" gives me the runs like cow's milk would.

It was the BBC that linked me directly to Hans Blix's reports on the UN's search for WMD in Iraq. It was that that convinced me that it was all made up bullshit. It was much more convincing than the obvious wishful thinking that was coming out of the US and UK governments.

For sure social media is propagating conspiracy theories, some of which are the modern equivalent of "Saddam can deploy his WMD in 45 minutes", but I don't agree that old media was doing the same. Quite the opposite.

Electrical Engineer?
