I think OpenBSD (and other OSes) that do not allow v4 on v6 sockets might be on to something. It was felt convenient for application programmers to only have to listen to one socket for two protocols, but then code after needs to make very

Good luck finding a tech bro that receives gazillions of money for making a laundry folding machine. But here we are, folding the laundry while computer invents slop music from previous slop music.

They made a serious attempt, especially when the G4 Mac was classified as "munitions". Quote: “The Power Mac G4 is so fast that it is classified as a supercomputer by the U.S. government, and we are prohibited from exporting it to

Well, this part: "This was our experience with pyca/cryptography, where the initial release we did with Rust code did not benefit from Rust at all (it was a no-op module to test the build infrastructure). Shipping it, however, flu

Sounds easy to buy one of those bluetooth dongle things that can talk to your external mouse/keyboard and pretend to be a set of wired usb-hid devices to solve that small issue.

Well, resident programs (actual Pure residents in AmigaOS) would be like PIE, though that came a bit later, and gave the same effect, several programs could run the same code with different set of registers, and all data was pointed to by r

It has, and it is used less and less. Not sure if any OS never does it anywhere, but the important part is to remove it from all "hot paths", not to remove it where its not relevant. Can't say if they still do, but FreeBSD fo

Don't see it as a huge improvement if they cut the wires to my breaks before I drive down a mountain. Sure, someone can possibly tell it was tampered with, but I will be as dead as you.

While it is nice to have quick charging, I find the "medium" quick charging to be completely fine for my usage. It "forces" me to take a short rest every 2-3h to go from 10->50-ish percent, while I'm using restro

You could use a self signed cert, as much as you like. We just don't have a good place to stash and validate them, so that when I visit your website (or my bank) I know which cert to expect. As soon as you invent this central place, yo

This still feels like a poor idea. It is as if the manufacturer of the boards don't really know where the serial port is mapped or where the USB is, but 3 months later someone will fix a DTB that allows you to find it. Noone would acce

It's not gmail specific, it's standardized as a "sub-address" and not part of the username of the email. smtp has worked like this since the 90s at least.

That is not the same. This is just "easier to compress text if we have a humungous DB to reference from". Drawing digits out of mathematical sequences (like digits of pi or whatever) is a net loss since it will take more bits to p

Also, all those standards and docs would not say which sequence you were supposed to get, or if it would be the same values for different libcs, different OSes, 32-vs-64 bit cpus, little -vs- big endian and so forth, so if you sent a source
