  1. Put it in drive, neutral, park, or reverse. Same as an automatic.
  2. If you were able to wave a magic wand today and remove piracy, Microsoft would not remove ads.
  3. Absolutely love my dumb Sceptre TV. Colors aren't super fantastic, but for the casual observer, it is just fine and gets the job done.
  4. One could only hope.
  5. The way I've implemented it now was indeed to track the size in a small header above the allocation, but this was only present in debug mode. I only deal with simple allocators like a linear, pool, and normal heap allocator. I haven't found the need for something super complex yet.
  6. Curious about the allocator, why pass a size when freeing?
  7. A man can dream of no waste!
  8. Not with that attitude.
  9. I've watched many changes over time where the non async function uses an async call, then the function eventually becomes marked as async. Once majority of functions get marked as async, what was the point of that boilerplate?
  10. Async usually ends up being a coloring function that knows no bounds once it is used.
  11. I'm mainly looking at manufacturer and model failure rates in aggregate over a period of time like 6 months to determine my next purchases. As you pointed out SKUs with the lowest get slurped up and you always run the risk of bad batches.
  12. That's because the law requires them to charge that extra 9/10. It's silly.
  13. And that's a problem?
  14. Just mark CVEs as bugs and get to them when you can. In this case, if Google doesn't like it, then so be it. It'll get fixed eventually. Don't like how long it takes? Pay someone to contribute back. Until then, hurry up and wait.
  15. It's world wide, not just the US.
  16. This shouldn't be a hard and fast rule for everything. Be treated as guidelines and allow the programmer some wiggle room to reuse variables in situations that make sense.
  17. I was on sublime text for the last 12 years. I made the switch to helix and although I missed some features, it's been a great change. I never could get into the vim bindings, but helix's defaults are great and I don't need to go plugin hunting in order to make the editor functional.

    There's missing features I really want, but they'll be added eventually. Git blame in line, some scripting support, better find-replace across a project and not just the opened buffers.

    Just give it a try for a week or two straight. No using your other editors. Cold turkey. You'll be surprised at how quickly you'll relearn. It took me about three weeks using it full time to get decent. The first day or so were brutal.

  18. Mailing lists are used as a filter to raise the barrier to entry to prevent people from contributing code that they have no intention of maintaining and leaving that to the project owners. Github for better or worse has made the barrier to entry much much lower and significantly easier for people to propose changes and then disappear.
  19. Not yet. PR is still open and waiting for someone from the team to review. I suspect this won't be an easy thing.
  20. A dumb TV like a Sceptre with a smart hackable device.
  21. It's not integrated at all right now. It's still sitting in a feature branch unfortunately.
  22. Is that at cruising altitude?
  23. A lot of 4 cylinders and the Duramax 3.0L engine. The claim is that these belts reduce noise because chains are "loud".
  24. It's 180k miles. It's the 3.0L Duramax because the oil pump is on the backside of the engine using an oil submersed belt rather than a chain or set of gears. So you have to drop the transmission, exhaust, oil pan, and take the back side of the engine cover to replace a belt that should have been a chain. It _may_ be faster, to simply disconnect everything and pull the motor.

    Source: I own one of these engines and I dread having to pay ~3k for this maintenance in 3 years. I like the engine, just not this maintenance ticket item.

  25. > the aircraft carrier could simply turn around.

    Pretty sure it can turn 180 degrees fairly quickly.

  26. I've heard these referred to as "Brothel Laws".
  27. It is yes, but this is for Plain Text Accounting which allows you to put your books in version control which is an interesting way to keep track of changes over time.
  28. This is also applicable outside of C as well.
  29. I stopped using the app around 2018 and went back to pencil and paper. Although I did like the diagrams on the movements to do, but once you learn them, you can't forget them. I never entered the data into a spreadsheet though, I didn't care about tracking gains. All I cared about was, what I was doing last week and where I am at this week.
  30. There are dozens of us. Dozens I say!
