   I'm not sure how to read the Go Faster docs [1]. I undestand that they can get updated silently, but it doesn't say anything about pushing new ones. I assume that's also possible, as it totally makes sense, but I don't h

   Maybe the solution is for everyone bothered by this to disable Firefox Telemetry on their computers. There's also the "submit feedback" menu option.

   Last time I tried, weston-rdp was unusuable: slow, high bandwidth usage and had trouble with key repeat (pressing a key even for a short while resulted in multiple characters).

    It might be a variant of the old argument that "languages aren't slow, implementations are", meaning that scalability is a property of the language, not the implementation. In any case, this is written in C so I'm not su

    Application-level dedup usually works at the file level, while ZFS dedups data blocks (of variable size). The ZFS way of doing it allows saving space on large files that are similar, like VM images. On the other hand it requires storing blo

    Ignore the indentations and look at the horizontal line. It's a cow's back. The cow is looking right and its horns are visible.

    It's the same. You can comment out the last line easier, but not the first one. With trailing commas, it's the other way around.

    I'm all for mnemonic devices and I can understand how one could remember a password like "GFj27ef8%k$39". But can people remember 30 of those, assuming no password reuse?

    I'm sure they'd like to, but you can't do that over HTTPS without installing a certificate on the system. Many companies do that for HTTPS interception.

    With a captive portal, your first HTTP request will be redirected to the network's login page or whatever they have. Many large sites now use HTTPS and HSTS and if you visit them once, they will always (or until the max-age header expi

    I never managed to actually like tmux. It breaks too much of what I'm used to, like mouse wheel scrolling, Ctrl-arrows, ESC in Vim and a lot of other small things. The ESC thing is fixable by configuration, at least, but I really doub
