In the current betas, there's actually more entitlements that allow this, not just private ones.

I tried everything for my IBM 6x86 PR166+. Everything . Pretty much every BIOS setup option, fans, reapplying thermal paste… still, the machine would often not survive a Linux kernel build without SIGSEGV, or just randomly hang. Much late

I work in "lowest level" kernel development, and we're certainly operating at that layer. As for those kind of hacky solutions, we do try to avoid them, because they are, well, hacky, and therefore often hard to understand, e

Sweet. What changes to Hercules have you been considering? I have had a long running (and maintained!) MVS instance in Hercules for quite a few years now, just for fun.

Great project! Kudos for figuring out all that stuff on your own. Assuming you are actually reading these comments, a few suggestions: * C compilers that can target 16 bit x86 usually have support for "far pointers", which are 32

I did not mean it’s a trick users applied, I meant that the developers of the 1541 DOS implemented this very trick. You load a textual representation of the directory into memory as a BAISC program, that’s pretty funky. And it was precisely

No, that was BASIC 2.0, and using any DOS commands was extremely awkward. With the notable exception of listing the directory, which was pretty easy through a trick from the disk drive’s DOS which meant you could load the disk directory “as

Yeah, but you can still talk to other hosts on the same link, not just the router, at any layer protocol. Link local addresses are not routable, but if you want to talk on the same network segment, that's fine.

Impressive, but I always wonder how much stability testing goes into these overclocks. With just the stock tools, I can push my GeForce pretty far (relatively spoken, absolutely nowhere near what "professional" overclockers can ac

You can use link local for whatever you want, I don't think there's a restriction, is there? Even though it's rare, I actually do use it if I want to talk to another host on a very specific interface . Sometimes there's

Why don't you just use the IPv6 address directly then? Phrased differently, what's better about IPv4 in your particular case that makes it worthwhile to only use IPv6 for "bootstrapping" IPv4? I must say, I rather enjoy

Absolutely it is. But still, the colons and brackets often make things awkward, leading not only to such compatibility bugs, but to general usability issues. Colons and brackets are just too overloaded within both destination specifiers (e.

by anyfoo 4mo ago
Yeah. I think that's actually my one, biggest gripe about IPv6, those damn colons. And those damn brackets that were made to mitigate the colons, that just cause more problems: Just yesterday I tried to use rsync (like I do all the t

I hear that a lot, but I familiarized myself with it once and ever since it makes a lot of sense to me. Source ending in “/“: You want what’s inside. Source not ending in “/“: You want the thing (i.e. directory itself). For the

You know better, as you have all the information and we merely have a shadow of it, but that in itself still sounds like “standard boilerplate” to me. I remember from my friends who worked at Google at the time, that everyone’s always been

That is exactly the assumption I was operating under, I even called it a "veto". Does not change anything I wrote. (And of course the CEO can override any hiring decision anyway. The question is if they will.)

Good points. My hypothetical had the implicit assumption that the interviewer was acting in good faith when asking the weekend question. But that doesn't mean that interviewers necessarily are, of course.

Well, I have no idea what they actually specifically asked or didn't ask, because the article is light on details. So I just elaborated on what I consider crossing into unacceptable (which I believe is based on commonly shared conventi

We weren't there, and the article is light on details, so we can only speculate. I see two options here: a) The potential employer vastly overstepped commonly accepted boundaries. b) It was totally implied that the questions were to be

And even if, for the sake of argument, they legitimately did ask about your personal life instead of your work life... you normally wouldn't answer any of that. (In fact, it could very well mean the end of the interview, from the int

I don't know your particular situation, so it might be totally different, but I think this is commonly just a formality and a friendly chat. It's a chance for you to meet the actual CEO (or VP or whatever in a larger company), and

Yeah, but I've met people who think it's "normal" to wake up tired and exhausted even after multiple (or even many) nights of sufficient sleep, time-wise. I remember one person who thought waking up tired is just part of
