An osu developer found that Windows 27881.1000's libc says that pow(-1, 2) = -1. Poking around in bindiff reveals they tried to add an optimization that skips the main approximation when the base or exponent is 1, but screwed up. Woops!

— It's the little differences. I mean, they got the same shit over there, it's just, there it's a little different.

— Example?

— Alright, you know what they call -march=native over there?

— They don't call it -march=native?

— No, everyone uses cross-compilers there, they wouldn't know what the fuck -march=native is.

arm developer website is so bad it's like a parody of modern web practices:
✔️ no content in page, only 6mb javascript
✔️ page content loaded by making individual requests for each section (each of which takes 0.2s for me)
✔️ actual text on page returned as json {"content": "base64 of html"} (not a joke)
✔️ said html wraps every header with 8 unstyled divs
✔️ two post requests to /track per second

possibly the only documentation that makes me WANT to read their pdf instead

@jj another instance of "modern CSS being pretty good" i learned about recently: you can specify colours relative to other colours. in this table, the centre square has `background-color: var(--theme)`, and the squares around it have `background-color: oklch(from var(--theme) calc(l + 0.1) calc(c - 0.05) h)`, etc. Oklab generates pretty gradients, being a perceptual colour space

probably wise to disable cupsd for the time being...

it's like they're actively trying to make the handwritten version of this as ambiguous as possible
