glandium··on Why America's economy is soaring ahead of its rivals
> Median salary in the US is $59,300

> around 50% of Americans make $70,000 or more annually.

Wait a second. "50% of Americans making X or more" means X is the median. Does that imply a ton of people are working more than one job?

glandium··on The AI reporter that took my old job just got fired
Watching this, I'm left wondering why my brain doesn't want to blend the visual and the audio. I don't think it's the bad lip sync. I have this weird feeling that these persons, were they real, wouldn't have these voices. But I can't quite put my finger as to why. I haven't watched movies dubs in a while, but maybe that's the same kind of phenomenon that makes dubs sound bad. Or maybe we grow an intuitive sense of what a person's voice might sound like based on the appearance of their face's bone structure and muscles?

How do you get 71 hiraganas? By counting the dakuten versions and smaller versions separately?
glandium··on Nobel Peace Prize for 2024 awarded to Nihon Hidankyo
The Yasukuni situation is more complex than "the shrine for war criminals". A lot more people are enshrined there, the war criminals are a tiny fraction (and were only added in 1978, while the shrine was established 109 years earlier). To give you an example of an important and less controversial figure enshrined there: Sakamoto Ryōma. There are 2+ millions souls enshrined there.

glandium··on Twitter/X will let people you've blocked see your posts

No surprise this is part of what Nix does, the tool mentioned in the post, patchelf, comes from Nix.
glandium··on Anime is eating the world
Serious question, do Korean web comics count as Manhwa? I mean, the difference in media makes it a very different art form. (Although, in the case of Solo Leveling, it started as a web novel)
glandium··on Anime is eating the world
Heck, it's even in the title that the story is about leveling.
glandium··on Anime is eating the world
The interesting thing about Jobless Reincarnation is that, even though the Anime was a late comer in the Isekai genre, the original work, the online novel, is actually a precursor if not the starting point of the current wave of Isekai works.
glandium··on What's inside the QR code menu at this cafe?
In Japan, many chains are using tablets for their menu, and you can order through that. That's much better than having to pull whatever from a QR code.

glandium··on Omnipresent AI cameras will ensure good behavior, says Larry Ellison
Obligatory Bryan Cantrill quote: "You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don't anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it'll chop it off, the end. You don't think «oh, the lawnmower hates me», lawnmower doesn't give a shit about you, lawnmower can't hate you. Don't anthropomorphize the lawnmower. "

glandium··on Why bother with argv[0]?
You can actually rename an executable that is running, on Windows. That's a way to handle self updates: rename the executable, create its replacement, execute the new one to make it remove the old executable.
glandium··on Twenty Years of Valgrind (2022)
First and foremost, suppressions can be used for more than leaks. For example, for "Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)", which yes, there are very much false positives for because of e.g. tricky optimizations LLVM performs and that valgrind can't handle.

But even for leaks, you can also have intentional leaks that valgrind will flag but that you can't really do anything about. One example is how using `putenv` can lead to you having to leak memory on purpose. There are many other cases.
