My selection of ISPs is local, but so is my selection of power companies, housing, heck, even grocery stores. I choose my ISP on primarily non-local considerations, so I don't think it's quite as cut and dry as you state. (i.e.

I don't have an ISP to talk to the ISP's server, I have an ISP to talk to the global internet, so it's very much not local...

ISPs are the very opposite of local, as the only reason I have an ISP is to deliver bits from the rest of the world. Of course, the FCC doesn't seem to understand that...

So the protocol issues are not to do with the scaling, but with the fact that the choice was made, early on, to support node.js as the primary implementation language, and little thought was put into the protocols from that point on. It&#x

Yeah, no, I think code with braces looks better.... Objective asthetics? As far as I'm concerned, the tabs vs. spaces debate has basically proven that it doesn't exist for programming languages... (I'm rabidly pro-tabs, by

For me, the process is "just write the braces, the editor/tooling will do the formatting for you", so no difference.

So yeah, this is about programming language vms, like JVM, not cloud vpses....

Scuttlebutt has a lot of work to do before I'll consider it as even approaching usable, mostly to do with the protocol layer. It works great for very small (<1000 member) communities, but it scales extremely poorly, and the protoco

I think they are saying, "diff your release branch against what's live", in the hopes of catching "someone hacked your server and changed your JS" early.

I think your link is ideal for computer professionals, but I think `the adventures of Certificat, Browserbird, and Compugter` will probably be better for people with little to no actual technical knowledge.

Modern android has a "night mode" that you can configure to turn on after a certain time of day that cuts the blue light.

Web != packet switched network. But, if you want to go that far, the first cryptographic hash functions were being designed in the late 1970s, so cryptocurrency has a decade or so to go before it'll be "late" by that standar

It has literally happened before. Look into the node.js/io.js fork.

They've got easy to use exclusions that eliminate the cost if you don't want the logs (and can be pretty picky about what to exclude, even to the point of doing percentage exclusions) and they announced it in advance and pushed th

Unrelated, but on the termdriver page, CSI codes C and D are labeled as both being "cursor down", when they should be "cursor forward" and "cursor back".

Generate single frame, copy to "off page", flip. This prevents tearing.

Linux frame buffer is perfectly capable of doing 2 pages and "flipping" without memcpy. Just have it initialize a double height virtual screen, and then use a panDisplay IOCTL to swap between them.
142.
by Vendan 8y ago
Yeah, but linux framebuffer can do a very optimal swap... Just make the "virtual buffer" twice as tall, and then swap which "half" is "active" with a panDisplay IOCTL... That's why memcpy is such a bad i

Never said intuitive, but that construct is EXTREMELY useful for things like "no results found" and such, when a list of items is empty. Therefore, it is usually explained quite early and used often in template languages that hav

And like many languages that do, it's an extreme code smell to use it, whereas most(if not all?) languages that have exceptions recommend to use them. Though technically, Go does have exceptions (under the name "panic"), jus

Well, for one thing, a few templating engines have a "for each item, print x, else if there are no items, print y". (for instance: https://handlebarsjs.com/builtin_helpers.html#iteration )

Dynamic loading for go is not well supported, and that kind of "on the fly" compilation, JIT or otherwise, is not supported at all...
