You might be able to create a shell alias named "cd.." or a short bash script "/usr/bin/cd.." with the appropriate content. Have no tried though.

This is cool. to avoid the repeated recompilation for every execution, you could drop in ccache. It will still add some overhead though, but much less than a full recompilation.

Loudness is not measured in dB, but in phon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phon) or sone (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sone).

Except when they want to build secret nuclear vaults.

Not sure about how Greenland compares to Alaska, but it also could be a perfect home for a private doomsday seed vault (like https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svalbard_Global_Seed_Vault which is controlled by Norway)

Out of the question, it has no definition which is only related to physics. Well, there's the "the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom" definition, but this was chosen to match the celestial-based unit related to the Earth's rotation (which does not tell anything to extraterrestrials).

Just wanted to mention this, but actually it has more issues.

trouble / about: the 'u' should be marked, at least for 'trouble' to make it silent (or probably in both cases but differently, not sure about other similar words). But then there's 'o' in lemonade which is different from 'o' in 'trouble'. Also 'oo' in 'loot' seems strange (should be ⊚⊚ with the recommendation above). Or am I misunderstanding something in the point of the markings? Anyway, it hurts my eyes.

40+ unsaved tabs in Notepad++, mixed stuff, containing keywords about the things I'm working right now, 2-3 line descriptions about an idea or how to proceed with something in the future, copy-pasted and "annotated" fragments of logs or code under reverse engineering (would do most of this stuff by hand but have an awful handwriting). Plus a booklet to scribe quick ideas, play with an algorithm in my head, and draw stuff if that's unavoidable (code graph, state machine diagram).

Regarding old features, Manifest V2 -> Manifest V3 was so painful to some that they dropped Chrome.

Qt is not just a GUI toolkit and it does not need X or any X libraries, works fine with a framebuffer.

This is missing Nim.

If the transmission contains some identifying information and can be used for coarse triangulation to decide if a specific phone is in a specific building - well, that's pretty bad.

Can be harmful even without identifying information in situations where it's enough to decide if some building is occupied or not.

As the article says, having no phone at all or having a factory-reset burner phone might be worse.

The BG22 consumes 0.5 uA in EM4 mode with the BURTC+LFXO enabled.

The AVR architecture puts its registers starting from address 0 of its data memory. As a twist, the program memory also starts at 0 (due to the Harvard architecture).

What do you mean? There is nothing optimized away. If there would be an if statement to check for a NULL pointer, yes, that most likely would be optimized away due to UB (if something is undefined, it is not NULL, so the check can be removed...). To make it implementation defined, the -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks parameter can be used: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39463804

UB can be converted to ID by using -fwrapv (to "standardize" the wrapround, which does not necessarily help if the overflow was not intentional) or -ftrapv (generate an exception).

There's a complete implementation available at https://github.com/Snaipe/libcsptr

Exactly. A stack overflow caused by recursion more likely converts to an endless loop. Nothing saves a bad code design.

Here's a DVB-S2 receiver: https://github.com/igorauad/gr-dvbs2rx

Many older games are shipped in a full DOSBox setup with preconfigured config.sys. The question is that is there any will to "conquer the past" and poke around, or not.

Baleen whales swallow a high amount of water (and whatever comes with it) and filter outwards, keeping the krill inside.
