Effectively Splitting sections is more annoying with the gnu linker scripts, ya. What I've done before is after compiling objects determine their size and automatically generate the linker script to split stuff between the 2 split sections.

jmesmon

Generally the way to do that (abi between 2 different compiled objects when they aren't linked) is to create an array at a fixed location with each array member being a function pointer (so each function has a particular offset). Pretty easy to make that array occupy a section we put at a particular memory address. Or at the start of a section.

DMA buffer stuff tends to be similar: folks define a section that is the region of memory the dma buffer needs to go in and assign the symbol for the buffer to it.

Definitely a bit more text than IARs "put this thing at this address", but not really that different.

At the federal level, only magistrate and bankruptcy judges have a requirement to be a member in good standing of the bar (magistrates for 5 years, bankruptcy judges have no time requirement) at the time of their appointment.

Other federal judges (including district court judges) have no statutory requirement to be a member of the bar or have any credentials qualifying them as a legal professional.

jmesmon

The only requirements for Supreme Court justices:

- the president nominates them
- the senate (2 representatives per state elected democratically in that state) consents (bare majority) to their appointment

Yes, it seems apparent that he was mislead by a spam email.

Pikes post is like my mother complaining about Zuckerberg after some spammer sends her an email that links to a facebook page.

It's foolish, and indicates a lack of understanding.

does the FCC have to test every piece of electronic equipment that's imported and certify "yep it doesn't transmit" ?

Almost this. The FCC relies on companies paying labs to do the testing, and then companies submit the test results to the FCC to obtain FCC approval.

This is the case for effectively all electronic devices marketed for sale in the us.

Less cover than last Christmas Eve. Still a great time!

TI-89 Titanium is HW3 (or later). TI-89 (without the Titanium) was HW1 or HW2.

You can check this in APPS -> F1 -> 3: About, labelled as "Hardware Version".

This program isn't relevant for TI-89 Titanium. If it's HW3, this program isn't relavent for you.

You could reformat an lvm logical volume on boot to have a clean fs to use for /.

Or if reformating is slow, you could use lvm snapshots potentially to get back to a clean state

Changing the locks doesn't make a illegal eviction legal. It makes it more illegal

The IA torrents include "HTTP sources" (sometimes called web seeds) which point to the various http mirrors of the files run by IA. You'll need to use a torrent client that supports HTTP sources (qbittorrent does, for example) for downloads using them to work.

Doctors, the best doctors. Did you know? We have the best doctors here. Great schools. Even some people don't like very much. Hannibal Lector. Maybe not great in some ways, but great. A group of doctors were telling me. I was at John Hopkins, great medical center, the best. They were telling me "Mr. Trump, no one has ever thought of that before". And it was true. Such a hard problem. Hard problem. Have you heard about it? They have these cockroaches in people. Totally disgusting. Disgusting bugs. We have to do something about them, folks. Have to do something about them.

The article clearly states the administrator, not a teacher, read the incorrect script.

I've started seeing the same thing on the same Right side charging port (nearest the screen), using the original Framework 16 charger & usb-c charging cable.

Things I've tried:

  • Swapping the usb-c cable: still shows warning.
  • Swapping the usb-c passthrough modules: still shows warning.
  • Using a different charger: no warning shown
  • Using a different charging port on the laptop: no warning shown (for any of the other 240w charging capable ports except port 1).

So something about the Framework 16 charger & the particular port makes things unhappy.

It's not a real government department. It's all pretend right now. Unless congress passes a bill creating it, it won't exist

They have no plates and only the last paper towel on the roll. The pizza tastes like cardboard. There is slightly too much airflow from the HVAC system blowing on them.

filesystem corruption. could be re-imaged, but whatever storage is in use (eMMC? old flash drive?) might need replacing.

How do you like the Tamron 35mm F/2.8? What lens do you find you're reaching for more often?

jmesmon

Yep, and it boggles our minds that this is still a limitation

Users of some tools want things to do cpu intensive stuff without taking over the entire screen (ie: rendering videos, as prompted this post).

If we're worried about users having unexpected intensive processes run in the background (ie: as implied by TheShitHitTheFanBoy's comment "It would be a nightmare if developers were able to do computational intensive work in background. Your battery would be at zero by lunch every day."), then the normal, obvious, and direct solution is to provide users with information and control. Items like live activities and notifications already provide mechanisms to inform the user and allow the user to have control.

jmesmon

We have this great thing called "notifications" and "live activities" and "showing other indications that something is running than it owning the entire screen".

Apple does not have a good excuse here because it's so easy to imagine some indication that isn't full screen focus.

In states with normal voting practices, even if they don't have a vote by mail system, there aren't lines or wait times to vote in the same way there are in states with dysfunctional voting practices (like Georgia)

In Massachusetts there's a deduction on rent paid which can reduce taxes owed.
