Roger Faulkner's 1991 paper is good read. The /proc he describes looks alien if you come from a Linux only background. https://www.usenix.org/sites/default/files/usenix_winter91_f...

Please correct me if I'm wrong. This isn't a release but a "re-release" right? So only available to those on Windows insider update train? Putting that aside. I am quite excited about the mirror network change. My big an

authz may be confusing to non USA English speakers. I wouldn't make the connection without it spelled out to me. Unfortunately I don't have a better suggestion because auths as short for authorisation is probably worse.

Teaching a two-handed backhand as default is best practice these days, especially with children whose game is most limited by their physical strength. And in group lessons with large coach:student ratios trying to teach two different strok

I prefer paper books, and have a copy of this. But it'll be great to have the ebook too for access to updates since my paper copy was printed. Thanks!

In Australia there are certain requirements on how long a product must be at a price before you can advertise it as discounted, and say things like "save 50%". This is to prevent this exact practice where a store either lies and s

I did that this weekend. New connector cost me ~ $15 AUD off an ebay store. Took me a bit longer than you but I was being super cautious having never opened a console before. Highly recommend for anyone else with a broken NES lying around.

I'm making a concerted effort not to open reddit, and as a result am spending more time doing side project things. One such project has been modding an old video game console. On multiple occasions when running into issues, search resu

See Australia. - The Govenor General is appointed by the Monarch as their representative. The government recommends a candidate. There is nothing (as far as I'm aware) to force the monarch to appoint the individual versus anyone they w

This happened to me. Lost a bunch of data. I had backups on an external drive that I'd periodically copy data to. I can't remember the exact sizes but this will still explain in principle what happened. I had a 1TB drive in my des

My ISP is a nightmare for this. Every time you call them, they send you a one time code via sms to "prove" it's you. Not perfect but better than asking what my birthdate is. But they pull the same thing when they call me. I a
