These look great, squarely in my breakfast wheelhouse, definitely eggy, but with - well, I guess what I now know as a hint of darkness. Thanks for sharing. I've been meaning to go to Sri Lanka..

I'm not sure the Soviets ultimately ever really tried to make the transition, when confronted with the reality that the ruling dogma that they represented no longer worked, they couldn't handle the collapses in the periphery. Also

Despite what some of the replies say, it isn't because of their fall, but because we beleived the stories of their rise. In the 1960s, some American economists were starting to argue & beleive that "communism" was just a

They explicitely contrast it with single file html, giving an example that is much more performant than waiting for the single 280Mb html file to load. Yes, they're both approximately the same in terms of size on disk and even network

Thanks for the direct link. That game they're in at 5:00:00 was great.

I get what you're saying about a proxy like this, latency & performance would suffer, however minor, and in production DB land this really matters. I've just not sure it is much of a slight on such proxies. You don't need

However bad your key management is, unless you're on an older ssh that will let you choose to use the "None" cipher, you're still better off than telnet!

For a lot of the early years, it lost a lot of money. Providing the bandwidth, getting distribution closer to the ISPs etc was a major investment. Lots of dark fiber. A bit like Google Maps though, a great visionary early investment that th

Probably one of the reasons this bug survived so long is that it isn't used much for priveleged access any more, but so you can play a moo or play you an ASCII movie, as people below you are replying.

What an amazing bug. I probably spent my first 10 years on the internet just using telnet. They were wild times. You could log ethernet traffic and see passwords. Towards the end of those we started to have a few more single-user machines,

This is not the first time that this has been a problem. In WW2 all sides needed more tungsten, hence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfram_Crisis As a side note, Tungsten is a Swedish word ("heavy stone").

Yeah, I see. TBH, I suspect it will only be good for MS to unbundle it. Of course, I wish they'd unbundle the whole suite. I am never ever going to run the Outlook, Access + whatever that I am forced to install to get Excel and Word.

Great work and thanks for the write up. Sorry to be pedantic, your longest view is not from the Hindu Kush, but from the mountains to the south of the Tarim Basin which are the Kunlun mountains. The Hindu Kush are largely in Afghanistan, bu

I use Teams all the time (although not because it is what I'd choose..). Mostly just completely free tier, although I do have O365. On the free tier I think the main restriction is the 60 minute limit on groups > 2? Don't get m

Good for you. FWIW, I suspect there isn't a single programmer you admire that hasn't looked back on moments in their career and cringed at some of their own code. In some ways, I think it is the hurdle that Linus overcame as an un

Very cool. I just saved the state of my WSL2 instance, pushed it to github. Amazingly simple. FWIW, I was required to add the --harvest, which your quick start seems to be missing? ie I used: uvx enroll single-shot --harvest ./harvest
