@LunaFoxgirlVT tbh I think your best bet would be to find someone who can guide you in it because of the odd kinds of income. You would likely need to find a "revisor" anyway for external validation of the books.

@solarmerps The classic example of this is Windows 95 which would delay freeing of memory if the executable was SimCity

@jhwgh1968 @charlotte At least for me we usually use 12h time (without am or pm) when speaking and just use the context to figure out if it is am or pm. And then mostly use a 24h time when writing.

@bsdphk Jeg skal snart til at arbejde med sådan nogen i Danmark, jeg håber at vi kan lave dem bare lidt mere sikre.

@LunaFoxgirlVT

it is since computers only store numbers in base 2, in other words binary.

This is not always true, for example there is something called Binary Coded Decimal (BCD), which is where each base 10 digit is stored with a binary code. They are even present on x86 (though not AMD64) Though more common in older instruction sets, especially mainframes.

@fasterthanlime This reminds me of a couple of things I have run into:

Wasm also allows unaligned reads, and does not seem to even give any errors or anything, it is even okay with reading unaligned 64 bit values.

And const arrays in Rust are only aligned to in inner value (eg 8 bits if you have u8) And the only way to change alignment is to use some rather ugly workarounds. Had a test that started failing after a compiler upgrade because of it.

@partim They got them in time for the trains to run in the end. The Danish channel Kennys Film made a video about them as well.

@bsdphk There are some forks of zlib out there the biggest probably being zlib-ng, which I think goes for C11 support and have cleaned out a lot of old code. But is that taking it too far or would it be viable to change the zlib implementation as long as the header is the same?

@LunaFoxgirlVT Den sideeffekt jeg husker mest fra da jeg var på det var at jeg begyndte at skære tænder ret meget hvis jeg ikke tænkte over det.

@charlotte @SuperDicq @asahi95 Yeah if you are from outside EU/EEA/Switzerland you will have to pay a fee of around 7500€ per semester.

@fasterthanlime I always wonder how much would break if more platform had the massive pages that POWER allows, but there is not really much consumer hardware so I have never been able to try it out myself.

@partim @tml There is work to fit the IC3 trains with the ETCS system, but they are still missing quite a few. The Bramming-Tønder railway have the new system, but it is still in a testing period until about the end of next year going by the report from the end of last year.

@charlotte What happens if you add `-c:v copy`?
