Running non-trivial code in your head is far too tedious for daily use. I'd much rather add debug checks for invariants when I want to confirm that the code works the way I expect it to.

> if you're a GPU manufacturer, make sure the 3V3 supply is tolerant to being externally driven and doesn't backpower anything in the GPU

That's exactly what a "diode on the device side" does.

We've got at least a year before that happens.

I don't think this "feature" existed a couple of years ago.

Ok so they have hardware support for unaligned accesses, but is it atomic?

I think he's talking about the big unnecessary "Welcome Back!" box that appears randomly.

I doubt that .xyz did this intentionally. They just wanted to "capture" 404 traffic by responding to every URL with some content.

If just 1% of real users that hit this 404 page decided to stay on the site and browse related links, that's a huge win.
