strlcpy and how CPUs can defy common sense
Fascinating post and good showing for glibc’s optimised string and memory functions—15 times faster than a naive implementation in one example.

“Even as the West sought to cut off access to semiconductors through trade restrictions, Russia established such a robust parallel supply chain that it imported almost the same number of critical chips in the last three months of 2023 that it did in the same period in 2021… The reliance on China for many of these chips also deepened, with transactions that were historically settled in U.S. dollars now increasingly executed in Renminbi, according to the analysis.”

‘… warned Republicans against calling Ms. Harris a “D.E.I.” hire or a “diversity, equity and inclusion” candidate, but some Republicans have ignored that advice. (Mr. Trump himself posted on social media on Wednesday about the multiracial Ms. Harris, falsely implying two headlines were contradictory because one highlighted her as the first Indian American U.S. senator, and the other as the first Black woman serving as a running mate.)’

“The Trump team was not unprepared. They had planned for the possibility of Mr. Biden’s dropping out, produced anti-Harris videos and tested her vulnerabilities in private polls. But they were still somewhat surprised when Mr. Biden actually did it... And they were caught off guard by the speed and ruthless efficiency of the replacement. They figured that if he did quit, Democrats would have to stumble through at least a few weeks of turmoil”

That's pretty much exactly 8% of them.

They found Old McBean
In a creepy old cave
And he said "you're all worthy!"
And to all them he gave
The way to transform now
Then of course things got bad
The decepticon sneetches
Got frightfully mad

Honestly I could forgive that if the rest of the Transformers One trailer looked even halfway decent. But after like 20 years of Michael Bay crap, we get...a different flavor of crap.

If you're gonna make a new animated Transformers movie, the very first thing you need to get right is: Optimus Prime does not have a visible mouth. Do not show me a mouth on Optimus Prime. GTFO with that nonsense.

I feel like a weight has been lifted.
I've been working SO hard to get #BackupBrain to a place where I was proud to share it with folks.
Installation is still too geeky, but I (maybe…we?) can address that in the future.
If you decide to give it a try, please let me know. Positive or negative, I'd love to hear your experience with it.

‘WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said on Thursday that Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, has access to a powerful space laser that he will use to steal the election…
Another cause for concern, the Georgia congresswoman warned, is that Emhoff and Harris are “extremely close.”
“Kamala Harris talks to Doug Emhoff every day,” she alleged. “You would never see President Trump do that with Melania.”’
