Never thought I'd miss the days when block(chain)heads thought they had the rights to the term Web 3.0.

Idk how you're defining "robust competition", but NVIDIA and CUDA definitely rule the GPU computing space right now, at least judging from a biased sample of what I read online. Those who experienced computing in the 1990s and 2000s know of the harmful effects that result when proprietary tech stacks become de facto monopolies. Think Adobe Flash, think Microsoft's "embrace/extend/extinguish" strategy. Perhaps antitrust law needs rework if it can't deal with this kind of monopoly.

Good luck getting hundreds of millions of people to act in concert.

Xor isn't Turing complete sadly.

It's not UB. Integer promotion applies, the signed int is implicitly coerced to unsigned (or the other way around - don't remember which.)

Yeesh, one illegal move attempt means you just lose? That's harsh...

Javascript/PCRE/etc regexes have additional features (like backreferences) that give them strictly more computational power than a regular DFA/NFA. (Still not Turing complete though without external control flow to support arbitrary iteration/recursion, like is done here)

So it is NP (in fact P)

We Americans can't understand ourselves either.

Right wing anti-environmentalist political statement.

Updated nginx on all my company's VMs as soon as I found out about this

Nintendo Switch does not run Linux, it runs a proprietary OS called Horizon based on the Nintendo 3DS firmware. Not sure but it might or might not have some BSD code in the network stack or something.

I'd bet even more Linux usage is ChromeOS which even more barely counts, and certainly both are dwarfed by Android which simply doesn't count.

It's like simple n-gram Markov chain algorithms vs modern LLMs for text

Read that as "only depends on the base dotnet runtime." I think the C# compiler at least can emit native code these days, but I'm not primarily a dotnet dev either so not too familiar with that.
