I think a simple “const” would have also done the trick. Sometimes -O3 is clever enough to figure out that the value is never written, so it makes it an asm constant.

I, on the other hand, appreciate Safari not being an utter resource-hog and a battery drainer. I don't need all these shiny features. I'm ok with "dumbed down" static sites.

Not exactly what you asked, but a few squats, just once per day, really help with blood circulation to legs. Not having enough blood circulation results in leg discomfort no matter how comfortable your chair is.

People need to stop assuming that memory safety == functional safety. They are two very different things. Rust ensures memory safety, but it won't stop you from making logical mistakes. You can't be "sure about correctness" unless proven mathematically.

And now their login page is "crashing". They knew I was coming to uncheck that crap.

To get an idea how rampant Islamism is in Pakistan when it comes to Ahmadis, read this: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-pakistan-politics-idUSKCN...

Pakistan will literally sacrifice its economy for the sake of keeping Mullahs happy. It's sad and despicable.

Built https://bufr.sh for some existing clients who wanted the functionality. Haven’t been able to sell outside much.

This trend of taking StackOverflow polls as global facts has to stop. It is so misleading. Not everyone is on StackOverflow, and not everyone on StackOverflow participates in the polls.

I'd never pay for your compiler. I don't care what features it has over Zig.

Why can't we have a direct statement like "The web isn't getting slower", instead of click-baity question titles?

I don’t self-promote usually, but I asked some people on Reddit[1] if they would like an educational stream on embedded systems, and a lot of people said yes. I’m doing one on Sunday most probably. Feel free to join in because that’s one of the things I will be talking about.

It is not a standard practice. You do want to verify your write though by reading the written blocks back.

I personally know kids that don't eat their food unless they are in front of a screen (touch or not), because the only thing that captures their attention are colorful blobs. I find it very detrimental to the kids' mental growth because they don't observe things outside of a screen.

This is good, even though it could be a possible result of VW/BMW/Mercedes lobbying efforts. Human life safety is the top priority in any industry in Germany. Regulations are keeping Germany a little behind in the innovation race but, at the end, it is all worth it if people are not dying everyday because of failed tech.

Grant was my childhood hero, and one of a few people who inspired me to pursue robotics. RIP Grant. 2020 fucking sucks.

Just another reason why I am never going to touch the new reddit with a 10-foot pole. If they phase out the “old” design, I’m done with it.

Problematic for whom? The average citizen doesn't realize the threats and has no idea of safe/unsafe, so there must be someone to decide for them. People who are aware of threats, and are willing to accept the risks can surely find their way around the bans.

I can't wait for the quarantine to be over. I'm tired of this Zoom-mania.

I agree that it is confusing. Here [1] is something that can help new C programmers to understand these kind of declarations. It gets easier after a while.

You can leak memory in Rust too.

> not a predictably small enough workload

Which means ISRs can grow too big. And that’s the reason keeping ISRs as small as possible should be your goal.

Why didn’t they move the command processing into the ISR too then?

> You split the radio task into two tasks: a low priority task for processing commands and the ISR task which does the acknowledgements.

You contradicted yourself here. You moved the code out of radio ISR to application code, thus keeping the radio ISR small.

I was a long time Gmail user, on the verge of leaving Gmail due to a long list of reasons. This bug was the final straw for me (I know it’s not Gmail’s fault). Got rid of Gmail completely. Haven’t seen this bug since.

Riiiigghhhht.

A low power device, powered by a battery, and put into a safe. Tell a friend to lock the safe with a code, go somewhere unknown to you, and block you from all kinds of contact for a month.

Calm down, please. It's "experimental". No sane person is actually going to use this.

That's a whole lot of bullshit for a proactive backlash protection.
