   This 100%. SpaceX is really the only provider who can credibly pick up the former Soyuz business in the next few years. And they need _a lot_ more business. Especially once Starship's capacity becomes available. Right now, there&#x2

   Just curious: how much would you be willing to pay, per year, for a service that did this?

   And MS-RPC and MIDL are derived from DCE's RPC and IDL. DCE's RPC and IDL were derived from Apollo's NCS RPC and IDL. I'm unaware of a direct link between NCS and Mach, but Mach's RPC and Matchmaker IDL (and the &#x

   Yes. Cost depends on what is scheduled, but somewhere between $200 and $1000. This is an expense that I view as unavoidable if you own an ICE car. Failure to do maintenance will cause earlier failure, and that's more expensive overall

   I recommend Fastmail: https://www.fastmail.com/ It's not free, but you get decent support, and it's their whole business, not a sideline, so there's a good chance they won't yank it.

   Yes. But the current trade-off (performance always wins) means that kernels and other embedded-style programs cannot rely on the compiler doing the "reasonable" thing for UB because it's explicitly allowed to do whatever it w

   Well, carrot rhymes with parrot :-) But also, hat or cat. Car rhymes with are, or charge. And care with pear, pair, hair, etc. But I'm Australian, so I talk funny.

    So ... Chrome has the best resourced development. Brave leverages Google's investment, and adds their own features (and vulnerabilities). Opera similarly. So ... there's not a lot of choice, really. Firefox or the mono-culture.

    What other passports do you have available? The US tax obligations are onerous, but being a US citizen means good no-visa access to lots of places, and somewhere to return to if you want to. Establishing a "reason to leave" when

    FATCA made life difficult for non-US banks supporting US-citizen customers. Many won't open new accounts, some forcibly closed existing accounts.

    Well, it is today . When I first learned C++, using cfront in the late 80's, lots of the language was implemented as C pre-processor macros.

    Great to see posts from John Mashey here. John wrote the UNIX PWB aka Mashey shell, and then had a long career at MIPS and SGI.

    Yes. Some many times, some one and done. Some for understanding history, how things got to be how they are, _why_ things got to be how they are. Smalltalk, for instance. Others to learn a new thing. The Rust Programming Language was my la

    Absolutely. When I'm evaluating a product, the language it's written in gives me some insight into what areas I need to investigate further, what questions to ask the vendor, etc. So, if something's written with, say PERL, I&

    Fastmail.com / Pobox.com I've used pobox.com since 1996. They forward inbound mail to somewhere else, and provide an outgoing SMTP server. So you can manage your email at Google or Apple or Microsoft or wherever, and change that

    Code-signing, performed by the developer, means the application can be checked for corruption (and to a degree, that the developer has an ok status with Apple). But it doesn't indicate that the application has undergone Apple's re

    Sure, but it illustrates that Apple's argument that "it would weaken security" is rubbish. It is technically possible to allow side-loading with exactly the same security as provided by the AppStore, if they simply used a si

    There is no technical reason that Apple cannot maintain the exact same review processes that they have today, or even more stringent ones (that’d actually be good), BUT instead of then putting the app in the AppStore, they simply sign it

    I have a server product. I do packages for RHEL and Ubuntu LTS, plus a Docker image. I used to do SLES as well, but the major customer who wanted it moved to RHEL, so I dropped it. A different world than for desktop apps, I guess.

    Using a multi-tape archive increases your chance of failing to restore. Rather than having one possible tape that can be corrupt, you know have more than one. Any single failure will corrupt the whole archive, and you've lost (easy ac
