Buffet prefers businesses with "moats" that present high barriers for new competitors to take market share. Coke and IBM were his preferred stocks for some years for these reasons.

As a thought, place all security patches that should not be considered for the NVD under a non-disclosure agreement. Encrypt and sign them, and require a verified name, email, and phone for enforcement. When the NVD publishes a prohibited p

SQLite can easily hit 15k INSERTs per minute or more (setting processor affinity to a single core helps drive the max rate up). However, if a process begins a transaction and then stalls, it halts all dml. I think performance can be good, a

In Linux, these files are unlinked, so they are invisible in the filesystem. It is legal to unlink an active file descriptor, but continue reads/writes to it. I think that lsof can still see these temporary files; I'm not sure how

Would it be more practical to take a supplement containing all the amino acids used by [human] ribosomes? Those, as I understand them to be, are: alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamine, glutamic acid, glycine, his

NuBus was also used both in Apple products, and the TI 1500 series of 68000-based UNIX minis. I installed both 1500s, and the previous Xenix-386 1300s in franchise dealerships in the early 90s. Is the TI machine in the parent article also a

I also took junior high typing in the 1980s, but we used manual typewriters. There were two IBM Selectrics in the back of the class that were used by lucky students for the day. I type with only the three inner index fingers of each hand, b

I can only point to this interview, which I read some years ago. Fascinating, in its entirety. "In any event, large dinosaurs really required to be living in an oxygen tent. An atmosphere in the neighborhood of 35 percent oxygen would

We know that we are living in an icehouse phase, and earth will return to a greenhouse in time, irrelevant to us. "Earth has been in a greenhouse state for about 85% of its history... Earth is now in an icehouse state, and ice sheets a

Btrfs can "rebalance" in place. This has had bugs in the past, but seems safe now. On the side of ZFS, you can take one volume of a mirrorset, move it to another system and mount it in degraded mode, and copy a bunch of new files

If a ZFS dataset goes over 80% utilization, I understand it will switch from "first fit" to "best fit" which can permanently and severely impact performance. https://serverfault.com/questions/733817&

If you load the ODBC driver version of SQLite, there is an option to transparently convert the ODBC date time expressions into Oracle style dates. It's an option for those who want easier handling. "When the DSN Option "JDCon

Anybody thinking about telnet logins is not going to have the slightest thought of using a certificate authority for authentication. If you think otherwise, I will invite you to implement this for SimH: https://gunkies.org&#x2F

The s_client binary does not implement all of the terminal controls in real telnet. If you really want to use true telnet over TLS on the registered port of 992, then get a regular telnet client and telnet to a custom port on local host. On

The hub was built to emulate the behavior of 10base2 and 10base5. 10base5 was the original inch-thick coax, and adaptors actually drilled into the cable. I have found 10base5 taps in odd places over the decades of my career. 10base2 was coa

The original scp used rcp (as a protocol, or very close to it) inside of ssh. IIRC, wildcards are allowed, so the rcp server expands them. If the rcp server is malicious, it might slip an /etc/passed into its output, writing over

Wireguard will encapsulate all your traffic inside UDP packets encrypted with chacha20-poly1305. Networking between two Wireguard hosts will never see TCP on the wire. Bad habits are OK with this in place.

I haven't used it, but mosh supposedly handles suspended sessions. Alternately, you can do the same with tmux or screen.
