Somewhat related, IPv4 addresses can also be represented in a shorter classfull form NET.HOST, like 10.1 == 10.0.0.1 192.168.1 == 192.168.0.1 While it has practically no use in today's CIDR [1] internet, it's still a usef

Tangental: Reminds me how buttons in various places (I've noticed this in elevators and POS terminals) beeps when you press them. However, the beep is not really tied to the CPU registering the event but rather the button itself being

Very true. Another upside of deriving all timing from actual outputted samples: If your application have a sequencer which does "bouncing" (i.e. generating a recorded file, or similar, from the project) you can just run the seque

FWIW, GCE have console. Another thing I miss in AWS is the ability to change instance user-data while running (GCE also allows this, including the ability to long-poll for changes)

When this happens I just switch to tethering from my cell phone. Redundant enough.

Correct, my bad. Did some tests and AFAICT neither EXT4, XFS nor BTRFS allows arbitrary byte ranges here.

I returned Comcast's modem because: 1) I wanted better control of routing (have a bunch of wireguard tunnels). I want all the IOT-crap on a separate network, etc. 2) Whenever there is a transient link connectivity issue on the cable si

I believe the correct solution to this problem would be that the installers would snapshot the system, install all packages without any fsync()ing at all, then finally one sync() and remove the snapshot. Optionally keeping snapshots if user

Although still in beta, I'd like to add BearSSL to the mix of well written and documented C libraries. In particular compared to the OpenSSL "documentation". It's also nice to see an TLS implementation without any memory

FWIW the second example of finding halfway points in https://web.stanford.edu/class/cs9/sample_probs/ListShufflin... is buggy. Crashes if the list have odd number of elements.

For the record, gcc and clang does this as well when using the restrict keyword. (I'm still a big fan of Rust though) int foo(int *restrict x, int *restrict y) { *x = 0; *y = 1; return *x; } Compiles to: foo:

Even though a GCE instance can be made to boot pretty quicky it's a bit sad that it takes around 40-50 seconds before any network connectivity can be established. I asked a question about it here a while ago https://serverfa
