The shooter is still at large.

Three locations have been attacked so far.

Booooooooo

Fuck Mark Meadows. Don't let him get away with this shit!

The GNU Coding Standards has a section on Make, which I would think is the most prominent Make style guide.

The doc itself doesn't have a section on comments, but in the few examples given in that doc, they use style B.

So PA is a weird one because it's so wide.

Yes, Philly is undoubtedly on the east coast.

But Pittsburgh is on the other side of the mountains.

I wouldn't call Pittsburgh the "east coast".

Or the northeast corridor.

The length of Gaza is less than the distance from DC to Baltimore.

VS Codium.

It's VS Code, minus the Microsoft bullshit.

Source code is MIT licensed.

Judging from the reflection, this is in Jyväskylä, Finland.

The HP Elite Dragonfly is the best Chromebook currently.

But, as always, the "best for the money" is always relative. The Elite Dragonfly is the best, but the price reflects that.

It's frowned upon to editorialize titles. OP reused the title of the article, which is the correct thing to do.

It's from Vox, an American media company. The URL starts with vox.com/scotus. You should expect American media companies to refer to the SCOTUS as simply "the Supreme Court."

Just like if I were reading the CBC, I would expect the "Supreme Court" to refer to the Supreme Court of Canada.

The former detective and three parlor managers allegedly exploited their employees, [...]

This is the only sentence with any real meaning in the entire article.

Sex work is work, and if there is no victim then there is no crime.

But this single half-sentence claims that the employees were victims, without elaborating further.

So props if the cops actually helped someone, but if they're just arresting people for prostitution then there are better uses of tax dollars.

Green Bank is a very nice walk

I am American; my first language is English.

I would never define "cruising" as "turning on cruise control".

"Cruising around in my beamer" does not mean that I turned on cruise control in a BMW...

Note that they dropped TLS 1.3 support

Switch from wolfssl to mbedtls as default

[...]

• TLS 1.3 Support: Users should be aware that mbedtls 2.28 no longer supports TLS 1.3.

You have to manually setup wolfssl or openssl for TLS 1.3.

Oh... shit

I use Arch (btw) because of the ArchWiki, and I'm totally comfortable configuring my system how I like it.

But I do appreciate Debian a lot. You can customize things to almost the same extent, but packages come preconfigured with great defaults and designed to better work together, unlike Arch which uses the upstream defaults almost universally.

Ooo. I think I know this one.

I've been working on a tool to make management of EFI boot entries easier, specifically with the use case of booting Linux in mind.

I haven't made a public release yet though... I really should.

Nit: It's "à la carte" meaning "by the card" or "according to the menu". Often the accent is dropped in English writing, but it's always written as three words.

This is just a stupid, meaningless nit-pick. I totally understood what you were saying, so it's really not important. It's just, the more you know, ya know?

So realloc(ptr, 1) only happens when !ret && !size i.e. the call failed and size == 0.

Presumably this is to support a size of zero even when the underlying realloc does not.

The code is duplicated to try the realloc twice before failing.

I'm not sure what the use case of zero size is though.
