Pretty much. There's been a tendency among reactionary sorts to attack any piece they don't like by saying the writer is "just a journalist", ignoring the actual piece, and ignoring any credentials that the author has, l

Number of variants to a large extent. Risc-V has a relatively few number of implementations that are about the same in terms of how they implement things. Aarch64 has a comparably huge number of implementations that have different pipeline

Plenty of ways around that, like prepaid debit cards, using stolen credit cards, etc.

$8 for a verified badge seems like a steal for scammers, phishers, etc, looking to get someone to part with their money.

Same thing here. Can't get street view from the Earth application either.

Delete your doordash.com cookies and reload. Doordash seems pretty fragile to a cookie state it doesn't expect.

Noise is a big one. The more levels you have, the more likely it is noise is going to turn a 0 to a 1 or a 1 to a 2, for example. It also requires more complicated switching transistors, because you can't rely on things being simply on

There's still a ton of equipment out there, from industrial CNC machines, to musical gear, to embroidery machines, that were built with floppy drives as the main, if not only, way of interchanging data. Replacing perfectly functional g

There's also a fourth thing to take into consideration. The pandemic caused a lot of people in san francisco to start working from home, so a huge number of people who would normally be in higher profile areas, like in downtown, aren&#

No. That'll just fuel propaganda machines saying that the support is artificial. Let the people speak for themselves.

Honestly, I think one of the biggest reasons is that it just became easier and cheaper in the linux world to throw a stack of raspberry pis at the problem. Windows, multi-seat became advantageous because the cheapest Windows box was at leas

OpenBSD is much more strict than FreeBSD with regards to release cycles. You get N-1 releases, period, which ends up being any version gets you about a year of support.

Keep in mind as well that your employer probably pays a significant chunk of your insurance premiums right now, usually around 3/4 of the full costs of providing you insurance. This is what tends to bite people when they need COBRA cov

Domains are used for more than just webhosting. The owner could have email accounts, etc, that use the haiku.org domain that they don't want to switch to another less recognizeable name.

A lot of bits of security rely on some level of non-determinism. Things like TCP initial sequence number generation, where every TCP connection sequence starts with a random number. There have been numerous attacks where the RNG wasn't

It's more secure because you're minimizing the attack surface. The jailed process has no binaries an attacker can use to further exploit the system, not even a shell. It means that there's a minimal to non-existent /etc

I've had third party cookies blocked for a year, and the number of sites that "broke" can be counted on a single hand.

When Autorun, and Windows 95, were being developed, CD-Rs were multi-thousand dollar machines with media that cost $15+/disc, and USB was still being hashed out in the research labs. As such, the only real removable media that would ha

I'd argue the opposite. xGPL makes it easier for the founding company to just run away with it. We saw it with MongoDB, where it being AGPL means one company can control and unilaterally relicense it. Other examples I'd see of bei

Because that would make llvm a lot less useful and a lot more restrictive on the kind of places the compiler infrastructure could be used in. LLVM would not easily be able to be used in places like mesa if it were under the GPL, for example

You have a url that purports to be a certificate of authenticity. What happens to that certificate of authenticity when the site goes down, or gets sold to someone who decides to replace all the images there with poop emojis?

It's a shame that that lobby's been closed to the public for decades. Seems like it would have been an interesting place to kill a half hour or so on an idle saturday. Though if you go around the corner on the street view, you can

LA's got a few more well-hidden oil wells nearby. While Hope Tower's now gone, LA Magazine had a feature a few years ago that described a couple other oil wells hidden in plain sight. https://www.lamag.com/citythin

The first question that comes to mind here is if Ford's going to offer a crate battery pack too. A crate motor in and of itself is huge, but an electric crate powertrain that's equivalent to GM's Connect and Cruise, would be

Offhand, one of the big issues that comes to mind is latency. DDR4 has a much higher latency than DDR2 between requesting and receiving, so could be potentially slower in a simpler core that doesn't have as big of a cache, and less agg

Lots of reasons. Sometimes concurrency is a relatively soft need where you could get by with multiple processes, but it would be nice if the language itself provided some capability for things like threads. Or your dev team is much more fam
