Are these "web pages" all on the same website? If so, using wget is a poor solution. I have not used wget in over a decade but as I recall it does not do HTTP pipelining; I could be wrong on that - please correct me. I do recall

I'm reading these blogged opinions on DNSSEC and DANE and I notice that they never state the problem(s) that these "solutions" are meant to address. At least not explicitly. Somehow I doubt it, but if by chance there is only

%% division can be used to do exactly what BEGIN and END do, and that is how I use it. Moreover, as I recalled correctly, the Lesk and Schmidt paper specifially mentions such usage. My comment is not referring to the internal behavior of t

1. I never mentioned yacc. What relevance does it have to my comment? I typically use (f)lex without yacc/bison to do a similar job as I would use AWK for: text processing. 2. "statically organize the file into different areas&q

BEGIN and END are somewhat like what is above the first %% and below the second %% in a yylex "source" file. Or maybe not. I need to review the documentation. This brief AWK intro entices me to try making a similar one for (f)le

"...Google never tested SPDY against HTTP pipelining." I use pipelining on a daily basis. And, vis-a-vis using HTTP/0.9 or 1.0, I have never been dissatisfied. It just works. (Before you comment, please note I never said I

MOre interesting question: Why aren't we using SSH-style authentication for everything? And although they can be used with SSH, I do not mean certificates.

Somehow these and other "gripes" about djb software over the years have never been as interesting or entertaining as the ones djb himself has been sharing with us since the 90's. But complaints are to be expected. Personally

I use DNS to block ads when control over the HOSTS file is not available to the user. Works across all applications, e.g. browsers, apps, and requires no installation of third party software e.g. extensions. I'm curious: do these ad bl

There is one point in this demonstration where it looks like TempleOS is monitoring the registers in "real-time". It looked like in one column he had the names of the registers and in the other column the memory addresses stored i

I recall seeing a solictation on the kOS website for people who could get a Linux kernel down to a certain size. I presumed that meant the intent was to use Linux code; at least I was thinking he would end up getting responses from people

Do you think Whitney ever considered using the NetBSD kernel code instead of Linux kernel code? No doubt, small was a priority. Why not BSD? And why doesn't kx have binaries available for BSD? They have Solaris. Burning questions I

It used to be that the major limitation in computing was hardware. Look at the creativity that it spawned. We are still living off of ideas three decades old. Now what is the limitation? Is it programmer stupidity? Or maybe there is no

Remarkably, YouTube makes scripting downloads very easy. The script below needs only sed and some http client and it has worked for years. I have only had to change it once when there was a change at YouTube; the change was very small.
