That is just double speak for it will adversely affect our bottom line so we don't want to do it.

Just? This is a link to the last page of the benchmarks. The other pages have other workloads on them - quite a lot of DB benchmarks though.

Probably also forgot to pay the bribe.

Battery self discharge is measured in days at worst, more typically weeks or months. It should not be dropping 5% over the course of an hour or so even if the device is a bit warm. Plus having it plugged in should start charging again once the battery starts dropping too low.

You shouldn't see the battery drop if it is not using the battery, which is what pass through would suggest.

But, what happened to all that extra money for the NHS due to Brexit?!?!? /s

Yeah, and sudo is not some special case either as there are plenty of CVEs for sudo specifically due to buffer overflow or other memory issues over the years. There are likely more hiding and waiting to be found.

Only issue here is sudo is a lot more mature then sudo-rs and memory issues are not the only exploitable bug that can happen. It does look like sudo-rs has gone through at least one security audit though that only found a moderate and couple of low sev issues. Would be good to have more people audit it though.

They changed it recently where you can have two members of a family able to play two different games at ones (or rather number of copies of the game at once).

But that requires different accounts even if one account owns all the games.

Yen also pointed out how such a court decision could help cut inflation in the US, too, "by dropping the price of a significant chunk of digital purchases by 30% overnight".

I bet most companies will just take that extra 30% as profit rather than giving it back to their users like proton has.

--asdeps also works when installing something to immediately mark it as a dep. Can be useful for non dep packages if you only need it temporarily as it will be removed the next time you purge unused deps.

Clean orphaned dependencies: sudo pacman -Rs $(pacman -Qtdq)

In addition to this, or rather before, you can run pacman -D --asdeps package_name to mark a package as a dep. If it is no longer required by something else it will be removed with the above. This can be useful for things that are deps that you installed manually at some point for some reason.

And remember that you can recover from anything, even removing base packages or bootloader ones with a live cd and chroot or using pacman with a different root with the --root /mnt flag to pacman.

Otherwise if your system still boots it is just a matter of following the install instructions for whatever is not working like you did the first time.

I never argued that. Only pointing out its decent into fascism. All bets are off at that point as to what will happen to its industries.

They were a beneficial strategy. They made Trump and his buddies massive amounts of money from manipulating the stock market. They were even bragging about it after the fact.

Oh, you meant for the country and its people... Nah, that was never the point. If they were thought out at all it was only how it benefits Trump and his buddies.

Trump is supposed to be in office for only 4 years, at best,

That assumes America is still a democracy in 4 years. We are only a few months in and it is already not looking great.

In a way that seems to be what the paper is showing evidence for. Basically they looked at what happens if you disable the optimizations the LLVM compiler does when it knows something is undefined (and thus should not appear in a well written program). And they claim to have found minimal performance regressions of which can largely be mitigated in other ways.

And that has been the biggest argument for having UB in C/C++ - to let the compilers optimize things in ways that you cannot do if everything was well defined. This might have been true in the past when we had a lot more variation in CPU designs but this paper seems to conclude that is no longer the case. Thus raises the question as to why do we need so much UB in C/C++ any more if performance is not a bit issue for modern programs using modern CPUs.

I would not worry about virtual memory usage. Virtual memory can include memory mapped files and does not indicate actual ram usage - only the address space that the program has opened at some point. There is little point in worrying about it.

IMO the best thing is to just start using it. You will start to pick things up fairly quickly then. Puzzles don't often ingrain different ways todo things and often focus on weird or niche things that don't come up as often. They can be a nice supplement to not a substitute for just using it in real world usescases.

I do also find it helpful to read the shortcut keys on their site to get a feel for what is available. You won't remember everything but it can be useful to know what is possible. Then when you hit a problem you may remember reading about something that can help and go look it up again.

Of course it is opt in. Why would it not be? Microsoft have opted in automatically on your behalf. Soon you will only be able to opt in, for your convenience, as too many people were accidentally opting out. /s

That's what happens when you make it expensive to import anything and don't have any domestic manufacturing for computer components.
