I was surprised today when "man 3 thrd_create" returned nothing. I looked at the BSD pages, which are sometimes better ... no luck. Wait! Are the *Solaris* man 3 pages leading the pack now? docs.oracle.com/cd/E88353_01…

"Valgrind" appears to be the name of the gate of Valhalla. germanicmythology.com/Poetic… It seems a fitting name for the tool that I, like many others prior to me, was only shown after I'd fallen in battle.

NVIDIA Transitioning To Official, Open-Source Linux GPU Kernel Driver phoronix.com/scan.php?page=a… Sounds like there will still be a GPU binary firmware blob, and the open source driver won't support many cards currently in use, but unexpectedly good news. AMD, your move!

If you have bootstraped the JVM from a basic C/C++ toolchian using Eclipse OpenJ9 and OMR, please share; I'd like to try it. I hope to find something better than the old, long, frigile process of OpenJDK/IcedTea from GCJ+JamVM+ECJ starting with ancient 1.4 and compiling forward

When I review UN Charter chapter 5, Article 27, I see: "a party to a dispute shall abstain from voting" un.org/en/about-us/un-charte… @UN Why did this Article not apply to this resolution? What efforts are being made to put forward a vote which would require Russia to abstain?
