orlp invented PDQSort and Glidesort. He collaborated with Voultapher on Driftsort.

Driftsort is like a successor to Glidesort.

Glidesort had some issues that prevented it from being merged into std, and which are addressed in Driftsort. IIRC it had something to do with codegen bloat.

What’s wrong with AC if it’s powered by renewable electricity?

Zsh

No plugin manager. Zsh has a builtin plugin system (autoload) and ships with most things you want (like Git integration).

My config: http://github.com/cbarrick/dotfiles

Unicode cat 😺

Exactly.

My take is that the issue isn’t with tmpfiles.d, but rather the decision to use it for creating home directories.

Someone told me that Goldeneye actually supported dual stick controls if you plugged in two controllers. And Perfect Dark is the same engine.

I need to try that out on real hardware…

113M shares times $31/share is $3.5B.

That’s wild. No way the company is worth that, much less his share.

With a headline like that, I thought he died…

Huh. This got me curious.

Yes, I did just type a bare URL. Every mature markdown parser I’ve used turns this into a link, and appropriately handles trailing punctuation.

So I went to the spec, and it’s explicitly called out that this is not an autolink. Autolinks must be explicitly surrounded with angle brackets <>.

So yeah \shrug.

https://spec.commonmark.org/0.31.2/#autolinks

Edit to be clear: This means that both of our markdown parsers are wrong relative to the commonmark spec. But I’ll argue that if a parser is going to attempt to autolink this, then handling trailing punctuation is better than not.

I intentionally added a period because it was the end of a sentence.

If your Lemmy app messed it up, then that’s a bug in its markdown parser.

With a good style/best-practice guide, C++ can be quite productive of a language to work with.

Those kinds of guides typically define which standard/convention to use and which features not to use (cough exceptions cough).

I highly recommend Google’s C++ style guide: https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html.

The thumbnail is of the 9/11 attack with the Wine logo overlayed.

Nearly 3,000 people died in 9/11.

That image is in very poor taste. wtf.

RIP Fuchsia

Nate Silver is no longer at 538.

There are different people running the models these days.

Everyone was wrong in 2016.

538 was the least wrong of any model anywhere.

And Nate Silver was ridiculed at the time for giving Trump such a high chance of winning, before the election.

Did ABC/538 get to keep the political forecast models?

I was under the impression that Nate Silver owned the original models, and took the models with him when he left?

I guess ABC would have been able to keep the older models.

Apple Security Bounty awards may not be paid to you if you are in any U.S. embargoed countries or on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals, the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Person’s List or Entity List, or any other restricted party lists.

Kaspersky can whine all they want. Russia is embargoed. They’re not getting their money.

Kaspersky is a good company doing good work in the cyber security space. Unfortunately, because of the embargo, they may have to turn to the black market to sell future exploits. Or maybe not; I’m not totally sure what kind of ethical standards they have.

The article says all phones Android 9 and up are in on the network.

But I was under the impression that enrollment in the network was still rolling out? Anyone have details on the current state?

To me, this just sounds like the network isn’t rolled out fully yet (or that NYC residents don’t use Android, which seems suspect) rather than a failing of the device itself.
