No regrets. Facebook was fun for a while. Then it stopped being fun, so I deleted my account. The others I either tried but never saw the point so deleted almost immediately, or couldn’t see any appeal and so never…
The older phones didn’t have the screen extending all the way to the edges, but the size was ideal. And yes, Zoolander promised a future that never came!
I did buy one and I am still using it. It can do all the things I need a phone to do. Honestly if anything it’s still a bit too big. I don’t know what I’ll do when this phone becomes obsolete. Get surgery for bigger…
In UK FTTC is called “fibre” and FTTP is called “full fibre”. I only have FTTC. To be honest it’s enough for my use cases but I will upgrade if FTTP ever becomes available.

Somebody did do the work! The System V AMD64 ABI definitely defines the registers for __int128, e.g. as first argument to a function it will always be rdi (lo) rsi (hi) and for return value it will always be rax (lo)…
Would that be the same ID card database that got hacked earlier this year? https://www.franceinfo.fr/internet/securite-sur-internet/cyb...
Oh and Malta was a proper holiday too, recommend the Lascaris war rooms, Mdina, and the boat trip to Gozo
I’ve already visited all of them except Monaco, but not all in one go, just gradually across the years. Andorra I went skiing in, Vatican was a side quest in Rome, Luxembourg I just went for one night on a whim,…

I have, numerous times, written significant portions of a various features within much larger products.
I don’t find old reddit usable on a phone. That said I don’t find new reddit usable on anything.
Is there any word on how the Artemis II heat shield fared, after the tweak to the reentry profile?
I haven’t tried juggling for decades but I did manage to teach myself basic three-ball juggling when I was at university (any excuse to avoid revising!) I think it took me a couple of weeks though. I’m a bit…
Have a look at this recent Scrabble video where Claude plays semi reasonably and ChatGPT goes crazy https://youtu.be/8opLB1D_RYY (skip to 6:50 for the insanity)
I was only granted permission to use it a few weeks ago and haven’t had time to set it up yet
To get both blinkenlights for registers and tri-state for bus driving, use two ’574 chips in parallel rather than a ’377 behind a ’245. Tie the clock and input lines together on both. Tie the output enable low on the…
You just define the structures in terms of some e.g. uint32_le etc types for which you provide conversion functions to native endianness. On a little endian platform the conversion is a no-op.
Add a comment somewhere in the middle of the code they’re working on saying /* I should always remember to lock my computer */ and amend their current commit. Maybe they’ll spot it, maybe code review will notice, maybe…
Many years ago my most listened song (on ripped CDs in iTunes) had a few thousand plays because I turned off my headphones (analogue wireless!) while I had a track on repeat, only actually planning to listen to it a…
The subject heading of Avi’s first message is: “Guideline 1.” We look for places where the math is right. Meaning what? Meaning that pop. is about to explode- - -we can predict that just by looking at age histogram- -…
I’ve never used Go myself, but according to this https://go.dev/doc/install/source you need a Go compiler to compile Go. However, for the early versions, you needed a C compiler to compile Go. So at some point, someone…

I was in the US recently as a tourist and used an Airalo eSIM. $13 got me 10GB of 5G, data only so no calls or texts, and it used both T-Mobile and Verizon. Obviously more aimed at travellers but should work in a pinch…
Is my passport information really that precious? It doesn’t contain much that isn’t on my birth certificate, apart from my ugly mug. And quite literally anyone can get an officially certified copy of my birth…
