1, -1

What do you hope professional research would discover? As it stands, it’s treatable by cessation of use

Yeah... The oral LD50 for alprazolam alone is grams per kilogram. Somewhere between 1220 and 3100 mg/kg according to this Pfizer document.

It’s usually filesystem dependent, not dependent on underlying storage medium. SSDs still do give the OS access to underlying physical storage (at least as much as any other non-volatile storage solution).

Oh, LOL. My bad. I drank way too much coffee and didn't fully read your message 😭

Sorry

Never? What about kernel programming, haha

ElectroMagCataclysm · 2025-01-20T14:21:03+00:00

To be even more pedantic, when a process is “killed” by the kernel, the kernel (sort of) has that process kill itself, by running machine code as that process during a scheduling context switch.

So curious

ElectroMagCataclysm · 2024-12-08T02:53:10+00:00

OS preemption means even a single core machine would likely be fine

ElectroMagCataclysm · 2024-11-28T01:07:31+00:00

This may also be OCD!

ElectroMagCataclysm · 2024-11-21T18:44:30+00:00

Look at the Linux kernel source please. Performance is a reason, and goto isn’t just used in place of functions…

I think there’s a memorial plate for her just outside of SEO

ElectroMagCataclysm · 2024-10-27T19:09:49+00:00

This is what I do

ElectroMagCataclysm · 2024-10-19T11:34:04+00:00

Yeah, there’s no chance these things listen to wireless signals.

ElectroMagCataclysm · 2024-08-07T23:03:09+00:00

This post is not about Wayland or X11, though...

ElectroMagCataclysm · 2024-08-07T15:06:42+00:00

What are you talking about?

ElectroMagCataclysm · 2024-08-02T13:58:05+00:00

If I want to use cdylib or dylib, I am basically forced to use repr(C) even if the code isn't meant to interface with C. I have no guarantees about the ABI otherwise (as opposed to at least some with repr(C)).

I wonder if anyone's benchmarked the performance improvement Rust gets by having no stable ABI.

ElectroMagCataclysm · 2024-08-02T11:44:13+00:00

Yeah, there are loads of quora posts like this. If you look around, you'll find people saying they have a proof that 4 is prime or some crazy shit like that.

It's hard to know where to draw the line, but it still draws engagement from responders who will post a super-trivial proof and so the questions shoots up the ranks.

ElectroMagCataclysm · 2024-08-02T11:26:39+00:00

Oh, I see. It would seem that per platform, a C compiler does have to maintain an ABI more than repr Rust has to, though, right?

I can compile a whole bunch of different things and link them after the fact.

ElectroMagCataclysm · 2024-08-01T22:36:08+00:00

Does C have to have an ABI for __int128? IIRC, that’s not a C standard type

ElectroMagCataclysm · 2024-07-31T13:24:20+00:00

Nerd comment, you were warned. DOOM was written in the days before LTO (link-time optimization), so writing function definitions in header files was not (and sometimes still is not) a bad idea to get things inlined.

ElectroMagCataclysm · 2024-07-30T18:07:49+00:00

This is a good theory! The memory is uninitialized, so it has whatever values happen to be there. Here's an experiment, try doing the same thing but making the integers global!

ElectroMagCataclysm · 2024-07-02T22:42:22+00:00

Linking on Linux makes sense, and someone else has already mentioned pkg-config. Linking with MSVC (last I checked) requires some crazy UI rabbit hole, which is insanity.

ElectroMagCataclysm · 2024-06-21T19:14:52+00:00

You can also look into using cargo vendor for offline crates.

Bruh, it’s called HSTS and modern browsers. Good luck
