I ran a qotd server for a while, only retired two months ago actually. It wasn't very popular.

Did you have some sort of rate limiting on it?

Shared memory, like shm_open and fd passing, would be even faster and fully portable.

This seems likely to create some inexplicable performance elbows where you have 1000 strings, but there's one code path that replaces one with a number, and now the whole array needs to be copied. Tracking that down won't be fun.

The funny bit is the other six control codes are mapped ctrl-2 to nul, and ctrl-3 forward to the five remaining.

Is this consequential for a project the size of chromium?

A solid 40% of George's questions were deemed great. (Not counting some fluff like what's your job.)

Is it your assessment or the LLM's that it's a good library? There have been many times I looked at the API for a library, said this is bonkers, and bailed. The weird contortions needed to use something should be a signal.

It's mine. I've been shooting down LLM library picks semiregularly. That's kind of what motivated me to comment: it is not at all my experience that LLMs steer me away from libraries, and rather more my experience that it's keeping me on my toes suggesting libraries I might not want to use.

That sound you hear is all the old men yelling at clouds that a full screen terminal editor is not a CLI editor.

Right - if you can't use it on teletype, then it's not a CLI editor.

There have definitely been two so far. (-:

Apple CPUs have AV1 support in hardware.

Only support for decoding and from A17 Pro and M3 onwards, I believe? Going to be a few years before that's commonly available (he says from the work M1 Pro.)

[edit: clarify that it's decoding only]

So does every modern GPU. This is nothing special.

I think you're arguing the same point—that there's plenty of support and it's arguably growing.

Not supporting pipelining is a somewhat effective low effort spam filter. Spammers don't have time to wait for response codes, just blast the message and move on to the next sucker.
