This is literally a huge pile of batteries that can charge at any rate at any time. It can soak the noon peak of solar, it can sip late night wind.

This is how security works in the C programming language.

I buy everything I can on GoG due to lack of DRM. If something is not on GoG, I buy from Epic simply because they pay a bigger share to developers than Steam. When I buy a game I want that money go to the devs, not middlemen.

GoG also integrates well with Epic, so I can have all my games there.

It’s a great game. Very good story. The game is mostly serious noir detective story, except that roaring Zootopia setting.

I like to say I don’t have a pile of unfinished projects and half-abandoned hobbies. I’m just working in the style of the great Leonardo.

Rust Evangelism Strike Force drops in:

Imagine living your life without maintaining header files.

Happy to see Rust’s standard library near the top in performance. It’s nice to have a good implementation out of the box.

It’s also (obviously) a problem limited to North America.

Everywhere else Teslas and Superchargers use a CCS2 connector.

In Europe, non-Tesla charging networks together are bigger than the Supercharger network, and Ionity and Fastned have 300kW chargers that are significantly faster for Hyundai/Kia/Genesis than Superchargers.

This has always been the case. When Windows XP came out people hated it needed 64MB (not GB) of RAM, because that was more than the entire disk installation of Windows 95, which was also bloated compared to older Macs and Amigas.

There’s aarch64 version of Linux.

I’ve got an ARM Mac. I’ve got ARM VPSes from Hetzner, and I’m compiling native code for the server.

It’s definitely easier to develop, build, and test on the same architecture, than to deal with cross-compilation and emulation.

So I think Linus is right.

If you run an ARM system inside docker, it works much better!

Many pre-baked images may be x86 only. However, thanks to M processors there’s a real demand for more than Raspberry Pi, so this will get better too.

Renault 5 looks promising.

I just hope they can make charging faster than it is in their current e-tech cars.

Filomena is brilliant

Epic sponsoring Godot was a 4D chess move against Unity.

The annoying popups are an act of malicious compliance from data harvesting companies. The tracking industry wants people to associate the right to privacy with stupid annoyance, so that people will stop demanding privacy.

The legislation does not say anything about cookies. It’s about rights and responsibilities in data collection (no matter how it’s done technically). The “consent” part of it exists as a compromise, because there has been heavy lobbying against the legislation.

This is not a technical problem — we’ve had many technologies for it, and the industry has sabotaged all of them. There was the P3P spec in 2002! It has been implemented in IE that had 90%+ market share back then. And Google has been actively exploiting a loophole in IE’s implementation to bypass it and have unlimited tracking. Google has paid fines for actively subverting Safari’s early anti-tracking measures. Then browsers tried DNT spec as the simplest possible opt-out, and even that has been totally rejected by the data harvesting industry. There are easy technical solutions, but there are also literally trillions of dollars at stake, and ad companies will viciously sabotage all of it.

Only signed overflow. size_t is unsigned.

I don’t know about C++, but in Rust the push is inline, and still doesn’t always optimize checks away due to an annoying edge case: integer overflow. Reserving (old_len + new_len) could give you a smaller buffer than new_len. The optimizer sees it and is pedantic about it.
