All business income should be subject to a tiny share of total revenue, maybe with some portion of it being deductible like input materials, durable equipment purchases, and employee benefits. The first US state to truly grasp and embrace t

An egg gone bad and a house fire are not the same sort of concern. A government agency doing two types of evil thing is more akin to ranking whether the small fire in the living room is more important than the slightly larger fire in the me

The tendency to do evil things should be the overriding concern, not the relative ranking of them.

It could be for something far more petty, like covering up speaking gaffes. When you give petty image-obsessed people a lot of power, they’ll use it for petty, image-preserving reasons.

I have a right to my copyrighted work, and I also have a right to set and enforce access rules to a server I operate to grant people access to it.

It being #101 or #275 in a ranking doesn’t make it not evil though.

Latin and various forms of French are bigger contributors to overall vocabulary than German and Dutch. It does seem to me that much of the core vocabulary day to day or that would be used in a pidgin of English by word use frequency is more

The syntax has morphed from Germanic languages, but with Norman vocabulary. Norman was a dialect of French from before the standardization of l'Académie Française.

It’s a shame the Nissan Leaf has so many privacy issues, because otherwise the price is good.

The article reads as if nobody has considered farming anchovies, sardines, anchovetta, and other feed fish. We farm land crops for land herbivores. It seems we could feed some sea herbivores and omnivores with plants, and feed some of those

TCP on localhost does bypass a certain part of the stack. That’s the same part he’s looking to bypass.

There are multiple axes of environmental impact. Carbon dioxide is one. There are also deforestation, erosion, renewability of the resource itself, and more. Bamboo or hemp are much more suitable for hygienic tissue than trees. The closer t

That’s harder than static menus, but it’s not really anything harder once you have customizable hot list menus.

I doubt her spouse makes her be a doctor. Most people who go through premed and medical school are pretty dedicated and driven on their own. This is a corporate vs labor issue, and likely not a domestic issue. I’m sure he dislikes it greatl

When I worked an overnight shift and lived alone, I got into a pattern of 2 to 3 hours a go three times a day. These were after work, halfway or so through my personal time, and before work. I used these separate times in between sleeps for

We use UDP a lot. I mean, a whole lot. Sometimes it’s bare UDP within a site. Some of that is unicast and some is multicast. Sometimes it’s UDP with a bunch of custom protocol logic around it between sites, handling buffering, reordering, r

by cestith 11mo ago
I wouldn’t say either is absolute. I’d call TCP more reliable than UDP, but not necessarily reliable exactly. I’d also call UDP unreliable compared to TCP. However, that doesn’t make it broken. Reliable ordering and delivery was not part of

by cestith 11mo ago
TCP will be reliably too slow. There are situations in which it’s better to drop a packet than wait for a reordering buffer. That doesn’t mean UDP is reliable. It just means sometimes it’s the right solution anyway.

UDP doesn’t back off sending for congestion. How reliable is that? UDP over the network does not on its own guarantee packet retries or proper delivery order. How reliable is that? UDP on Linux to localhost or hair-pinned between two publ

I’ve heard the same evaluation of SoftBank, IBM, and Micro Focus/OpenText/Rocket Software. There’s some truth in that, but you can still get Visual Cobol even after a number of ownership changes. https://www.rocketsoftw

Besides the flaws in the license being discussed elsewhere, “HOPL” is an important acronym in the field of computing already. As this license has no relation to the History of Programming Languages project, I’d suggest a different identifie

The definition I’ve used for my own projects is that anything that touches anything outside the function or in any way outlives the function is impure. It works pretty well for me. That is, no i/o, mutability of a function-local variab
