Good thing the US courts don't have any influence or weight in Europe.

I wonder why he doesn't just set up a virtual machine with an odd number of vcpu's for testing.

Why just catch the ones ignoring robots.txt? Why not explicitly allow them to crawl everything, but silently detect AI bots and quietly corrupt the real content so it becomes garbage to them while leaving it unaltered for real humans? Seems to me that would have a greater chance of actually poisoning their models and eventually make this AI/LLM crap go away.

Seems you want the compiler to do some optimization, to improve the generated code. Or?

Why is knowing who the author is relevant? Either what he posts is correct or it is not, who the person is is irrelevant.

"Unfortunately GCC’s codegen for GCC’s x86 intrinsics headers is really remarkably awful at -O0" - but that kind of seems to be what is asked for..

jjuhl — Mon, 26 Apr 2021 13:58:50 +0000

I don't use any tools at all. Keep diagrams in my head - if they are too complex for that then there's a different problem to be solved.

I wonder if there's a public repository of the kernel source deployed on the helicopter. I'd love to see if any of the code I've contributed just flew on Mars

Using only plain-text emails solves the problem nicely. Who'd even want to ever use HTML mail other than shady or clueless or annoying people? Just use plain-text only and the problem is solved.

Be honest; noone cares about (or reads) ToS agreements.

"Yep Confluence is an amazingly overly complicated thing" - yeah,with an incredibly slow editor that screws up even simple page edits constantly. It's a complete shit show. There's a reason we call it "cuntfluence" at my workplace.

"Atlassian Cloud ToS section 3.3(I) prohibits discussing performance issues" - Their ToS may prohibit it, but that is in no way going to stop me from doing it - I don't give a shit about some document they write. Atlassian products suck hard and their performance characteristics are horrible. I hate being forced to use their crap at work.

"What's another good email provider?" - an alternative is to run your own mail server. I used to do that and the harddrive with all the mail (and a backup copy) is not going away because some company changes policy..

A one hour warning is pointless in the middle of the night when you have your computer running a job that will take a few days to complete.

New comment by jjuhl in "Exactly how much physical memory is installed?"

jjuhl — Sun, 29 Nov 2020 19:52:11 +0000

I've upgraded both RAM and CPUs on IBM RS/6000 machines (pSeries these days I believe) while the system was running. Very nice capability to minimize downtime. The procedure is 100% supported. You start by telling the OS (AiX in the cases where I did this) that you are going to remove these RAM modules or these CPUs and the OS let's you know when it has moved everything off of those. Then you remove them and plug in the replacement, then tell the OS that the new hardware can be used. Very smooth process.

If your connection can be tapped it is not end-to-end encrypted, obviously. If it is possible for anyone to tap into your communication it is not encrypted (properly). What you are saying makes no sense. Either the channel is encrypted and safe from being listened in on or it is not. You cannot have both.
