Nix definitely does not allow most things to be built offline (at least in the way Debian means it). With Nix, any fetcher will download the source. It does so in a way that guarantees the shasum of what is fetched is identical, and if y

In the 1940s, Kinsey et. al. found that 37% of Adult Males had at least one homosexual experience, and 10% were "more or less exclusively homosexual for at least 3 years." The numbers for women were much lower, but 30% doesn'

I think the existence of lz4hc is evidence that what you are discussing is within the design-space of LZ4, but ZXC just did a better job of it (though lz4hc achieves better compression than ZXC)

I prefer narrow entries with an "event ID" attached; you can trivially filter to get all of your items with the same event ID, but it works better with all the tools designed for narrow entries. So instead of one entry with e.g. 2

> Unlike symmetric codecs (LZ4), ZXC trades compression speed (build-time) for maximum decompression throughput (run-time). Huh? This is exactly what lz4 does. Yes, zxc is faster than lz4 at decompressing, but lz4 is clearly asymmetric

If we look just at 2022, then allowing the Chinese to foreclose on iRobot vs Amazon buying it is basically just a question of who owns the name "Roomba"; there were zero companies making robot vacuums in the US, and the result is

I agree that the coordinated (particularly at a state level) restrictions[1] on books sits largely with the political Right in the US. However, from around 2010, there has been increasingly illiberal movement from the political Left in the

I think that's definitely part of it. I also believe that a physical component put under stresses it was not capable of bearing, even when those stresses were known to be within the expected environment at design time -- such as a bol

Systems containing software fail, and the cause of that failure may originate in software. And the article you intended to link is just wrong. E.g. the Therac-25 was not designed to output high power when an operator typed quickly; it wa

Non-power-of-two is only really feasible of the total number of inserts will fit in your post/ack counters. Otherwise you have to implement overflow manually which may or may not be possible to do with the available atomic primitives

With SVGs you can serve them from a different domain. IIUC the issue from TFA was that the SVGs were served from the primary domain; had they been on a different domain, they would have not been allowed to do as much.

External entities in XML[1] were a similar issue back when everyone was using XML for everything, and parsers processed external-entities by default. 1: https://owasp.org/www-community/vulnerabilities/XML_External.
