I think that battle has been lost a while back. Given the 1) dislike of 'conditional code' in the kernel and 2) the use of device tree, there is no longer any possibility for the compiler/linker to remove stuff that isn'

In my younger days of making sharewares, my way to find pirates was a lot easier... If the serial had been stolen, I would crash the app after a few hours of use, randomly, with a generic message but a very, very specific error code. Then I

I used to use freerouting a lot -- it's 'semi automatic' to be fair, you can hint at stuff, and you need to configure it pretty carefully for it to do a good job... I used it as a 'first pass' routing, imported the

I'm glad they allow reuse. I signed up very early on github, but my username was already taken... By someone who didn't contribute anything at all to anything, ever; and probably never used the account again. One day, after many y

I love tinc for another reason too. I've been using it for many, many years, and the one feature of the re-routing that always amazes me is: I'm on the laptop, connected to Gb ethernet--- I do work on remote servers (via tinc). I

The company I worked for was filthy rich with Minitel. I don't know where you heard there wasn't money in it, but even with Transpac charges it was making a scary bundle for the operators... Of course there might have been an econ

The primary reason we used them was the pretty cool 'ring' LAN that was X25 based -- since everything else was X25/X29 (Transpac) it was a natural choice. Remember back then available ethernet was still coax. And speaking of

I used to work as a system's engineer for the biggest service provider of the minitel era, back in 1989+. MOST of the services were for professionals -- in fact the biggest by far for volume and revenue was a transport exchange for lor

I use a Wimius -- I have to say it's pretty excellent, and the price is hard to beat. Sure my need is not to to make 'production grade footage' but I'm still very picky on quality...

The list is very, very, VERY similar to linux's kernel list.h -- which is a little masterpiece by itself...

First. I love people who seems to associate spelling with intelligence and take high pride it pointing out other people mistakes, without any knowledge of how many languages they might be fluent in. Second. Oops, no seconds here, First is u

Well it IS wierd, because you would assume than that 'eldest child' principle would get at least linearly worse the more kids there are in a family... So I must be particularly lucky, OR perhaps we don't really have good numb

Wierd, I'm the youngest of 6, and I'm acknowledged by the others as the smartest of the lot, by quite a margin. "bloody little genius" has been my nickname since I'm about 8 ;-)

Personally I no longer use pure state machines, as they can become beasts and end up being a royal pain to maintain. Instead, I use 'duff devices' variations of it (in C) which breaks down the machine into code that looks 'li

Posting this, as I have a close hacker friend who claims he has now become hyper-sensitive to electric/magnetic fields for the last few years, and has all kind of bizarre symptoms like dizziness, headaches etc when for example he is in

Because, appearances? I mean, in many companies, you have to appear at socials -- remember, execs have zero clues what you are doing, all they know is what they can see and touch.

I actually don't see much of a problem. These models are hired to have a chat with nerds, and the nerds are actually paid (directly and indirectly) to talk to them. Everyone is paid to be at that party and look reasonably good for the

Hmm not sure where you live, but here in the UK it's on sale in many farm shops. There are also 'game dealers' that sells it back to shops, restaurants etc.

Here in the uk the mailers have a fancy method for making up the difference in pricing, they call it 'handling fee'. So you pay postage from your parcel in country X, and on arrival in the UK, it's held, sometime for customs

Aren't personal attacks frowned upon on HN? By the time I'm merged, I am at the junction point, and I'm not preventing anyone with flashing lights from passing, that's why people use 'mirrors' -- well, most o

My method is a mix of both! I merge "pretty late" but not right at the limit so I stay polite, and then I put my car in the middle so you can't have an Audi driver try to wedge themselves and annoy everyone else. Where's

Completely agree with this, the topic is much wider than the meat of the paper. A bit of a clickbait here.
