The opposite: "GTK had the unique case of bundling GNOME’s design language into GTK, which made it far from generic [...] Thanks to the removal of GNOME widgets from GTK 4, [...] developers of cross-platform GTK 3 apps that rely exclus

I'm talking purely about DNS, and in fact I wrote explicitly that "HTTP can multiplex multiple sites on a single IP address", because the problem exists only at the DNS level. A compounding issue is that CDNs (or GitLab/

Right now if you want to retrieve http://www.example.com , you have to ask DNS for the IP address of www.example.com. HTTP can multiplex multiple sites on a single IP address so you can make DNS answer with a "CNAME", i

That doesn't match my experience. At 9-10A (2100W) the efficiency is way above 90%, meaning the consumption of the rectifier inside the car is more in the 100-150W range.

And with uppercase and lowercase exchanged! There was such a font too, it was called Czar. I used it in Windows 95/98.

I already knew that Ninja only supports a limited subset and that the issue is the compiler now going beyond that limited subset. My point is that I wouldn't jump to conclusions as to why they did that. I would dig further to see what

The point of two's complement is that it's the same as modulo-2^n arithmetic. In two's complement -x is defined such that x + -x = 0 (mod 2^n); and because x + ~x = 2^n - 1 (mod 2^n), then -x = ~x + 1. Therefore x & -x

Ninja is supposed to read dependency files "in Makefile syntax", so I would at least try to understand the issue before placing blame.

Translation is not intricate, but modern graphics card are not tuned for dynamically setting up shaders.

It's almost impossible these days to have type E plugs with only the hole for ground and no springy pins on the side. So type E plugs are totally interoperable with both type E and type F sockets.

Type C plugs are compatible with both Type F and Type L sockets, it's just a more compact plug for when you have no need for ground. There are no Type C sockets. So it's a mix of type F and Type L. Modern homes typically use combo

The main point is one: L1 cache, for speed, is limited to page size * associativity. This is what allows it to be virtually indexed (so you can do the TLB lookup and cache lookup in parallel) and physically tagged (so you don't need to

I find it delusional to think we're close in any way to being multiplanetary. Mars hardly has an atmosphere and you can't survive outside a pressurized environment. You could build a base there but not a city, not even considering

Problem is that was before DMCA. New law can override judicial precedent.

Does it do escaping in a reasonable way?

Agreed, hence my use of "apparently". Even if it's not substantiated further, the implications are much worse than those of someone dying of pneumonia (which may be bad luck).

At some point, another one apparently found two missing lug nuts on a wheel of his car, and texted his lawyer "if I die I am not suicidal".

What's the aftermath of the Red Hat and IBM acquisition? I've been at Red Hat since 2009 myself, and have hardly seen the difference over the last five years.

Red Hat had open source/community versions of their products, for example OpenShift Origin (now OKD) and RDO (for OpenStack). They wanted to use CentOS but it was not working well because release dates of CentOS were not predictable. S

If you do pay for RHEL you can have free non production subscriptions. Of course it's probably suspicious to pay for 1 production and 20000 testing servers, but it's pretty good if you are too small to negotiate an unlimited-machi

Hey it's nice that you found this post and replied! You shouldn't have any regrets indeed, and I guess that style has its place for a "filler" article, even though calling it a filler is not so nice... Make it a rant abo

I'm okay with conjuring (r+ix)(r+iy)(r+iz) out of thin air. I am also okay with adding an extra step at the bottom to make it a proof of Heron's formula, even though at its heart it's a proof of the radius of the incircle—bec

How are they different? Both use make and the C compiler. xz is not different in this respect from any other C, C++, Go or Rust program.

No, the attack was not hidden in code that is autogenerated by autotools. If that was the case, rerunning autoconf (which most distros do) would have disabled the attack. Instead it was hidden in plain sight in the source that is processed
