Some 3 years after ChatGPT was introduced, I wonder if this still holds for current language and knowledge models:

When compiler optimisations cause memcpy undefined behaviour: Fix a crash trying to save an empty AudioStream by hpvb · Pull Request #100422 · godotengine/godot · GitHub
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/11/25
The libc C standard library memcpy function is very fast, but because of that also very dumb and with a list of circumstances where its behaviour is undefined (a great opportunity to introduce vulnerabilities in your code). The specs of those are in [Wayback/Archive] memcpy, memcpy_s – cppreference.com, including:
The behavior is undefined if either
destorsrcis an invalid or null pointer.
With C compilers becoming smarter and smarter, their optimisations can hide the fact that you call memcpy with parameters causing undefined behaviour.
This is a nice example of that: [Wayback/Archive] Fix a crash trying to save an empty AudioStream by hpvb · Pull Request #100422 · godotengine/godot · GitHub
The change is relatively simple, but hardly shows why the change is there. Only one line got changed in [Wayback/Archive] Fix a crash trying to save an empty AudioStream by hpvb · Pull Request #100422 · godotengine/godot · GitHub

MacOS: open file in other monitor
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/11/24
When I have an external monitor connected to my 2015 era Retina MacBook Pro machines, I wanted some apps to appear on the laptop screen and others on the external one.
That was harder than I hoped for as no single solution works in all cases.
What I do now is to make sure the icon bar is on the monitor where I want applications to open. Not perfect, but works for most cases.
Here are some links that helped me:

There is this German joke about “WLAN-Kabel” (WiFi-cable) ** that goes with #Neuland (Germans mocking about Internet and technology still being uncharted territory*).
Yes, they do!
