That’s so cute!

I bet she was just delighted to see and spend time with her granddaughter.

KeePass on sandstorm

One virtual server hosts all my open source apps, including my pw manager. It’s insanely great.

The CEO supports fascist policy in the name of business

Quintessential does not mean “really essential”, and does not make sense in this context.

You can’t really be quintessential “for” something; only quintessential of something.

It’s about cheap Chinese AI

You highlight an important point: the fascists are fascists because their primitive lizard brain responds to hear and insecurity with tribalism.

And we have the same lizard brain.

Point being: fascists aren’t stupid or inferior, and we need to constantly be on guard to reject the same instincts in ourselves.

Having said that: they are adults, and they should be held responsible for their own adult decisions.

Woah. How did that happen to you!?

Well this policy seems like a good way for them to nip that in the bud. Customer contempt is toxic to brand loyalty.

You start to feel badly for legacy tech manufacturers like Canon.

Then they do things like this, and suddenly I am happy to see them die.

You can’t treat your customers with contempt and not expect them to return the sentiment.

That is hilarious

It goes directly to the “web” tab of search results, which is way more likely to be what you wanted in the first place.

It’s like the old school Google search.

Have you looked at sandstorm? Or used it?

It’s one of my favorite stacks, and I’m curious to hear your thoughts.

Your initial claim was that they couldn’t be measured that way. You’re right that they aren’t stored as bits, but it’s irrelevant to whether you can measure them using bits as the unit of information size.

Think of it like this: in the 1980s there were breathless articles about CD ROM technology, and how, in the future, “the entire encyclopedia Britannica could be stored on one disc”. How was that possible to know? Encyclopedias were not digitally stored! You can’t measure them in bits!

It’s possible because you could define a hypothetical analog to digital encoder, and then quantify how many bits coming off that encoder would be needed to store the entire corpus.

This is the same thing. You can ADC anything, and the spec on your ADC defines the bitrate you need to store the stream coming off… in bits (per second)

All information can be stored in a digital form, and all information can be measured in base 2 units (of bits).

Amazing! This is great work!

Now, because this article got a little long, as per a friend’s suggestion, here’s a table of contents:

Optimization gives us optimal programs

Branch weights and the CPU’s branch predictor

-O3 produces much faster code than -O2

Javascript interpreters JIT at runtime because they don’t know which paths are hot ahead of time

If you have a compiler, you don’t need an interpreter

The middle-end is target/platform-independent

The compiler optimizes for data locality

-O0 gives you fast compilation

Templates are slow to compile

Separate compilation is always worth it

Why does link-time optimization (LTO) happen at link-time?

Inlining is useful primarily because it eliminates a call instruction

The role of the inline keyword

The best production compiler to study is LLVM

Undefined behavior only enables optimizations

The compiler can “simply” define undefined behavior 99% correctness rate is ok

She may be a narcissist, and you might benefit from looking for r/raisedbynarcissists or the equivalent Lemmy community.
