That's basically the story of every file name rule on Windows :)

It might be even easier this way: $ curl https://ifconfig.me --libcurl ip_fetcher.c $ make LDFLAGS=-lcurl ip_fetcher $ ./ip_fetcher (I just find make a heck of a lot easier than running direct cc commands)

Feet, nautical miles, statutory miles, and meters are all part of the United States Customary Units. "Imperial units" is ambiguous and can refer to many different sets of units all sharing the same name. US Customary units use SI

Missed the point. Wine runs Win16 binaries on 32- and 64-bit hosts, effectively by rethunking them to run in 32-bit mode. This can be viewed as a form of emulation. Wine 9.0 can likewise rethunk 32-bit applications to run in 64-bit mode, bu

By using Microsoft's DCOM implementation ("the Windows DLLs"), you bypass using Wine's DCOM entirely.

If you want to hand configure your network, set up DHCP and disable SLACC. I wouldn't recommend it, because it just makes life harder, but you can do it. Even better though, hostname resolution works just fine on link local addresses (

That's a totally contrived address just to get as long of a hex representation as possible, it's pretty far from a likely situation. That being said, telling an address over the phone (another unlikely situation, to be honest) wou

In general, no. All operating systems default to using random host bits in SLAAC addresses, each bootup (or change of network interface) will instantiate a new address. More than that though, IP addresses in both v4 and v6 varieties are unr

If you'd like to figure out a nicer representation for IPv6 addresses, go for it. You needn't break any compatibility for it, just invent a new representation. I'd argue that the most common format such as 2001:db8::f00f is a

Changing the IP protocol to support more stuff has been considered... that's how we got IPv6 in the first place.

The answer to this question-in-a-headline is, of course, no.

Given TFA (a comic) has "you might expect git to enforce some rules about branches", I figured there might be an education problem going on. I didn't expect such things, but being there from the earliest days might be why. I

I wonder if this might be an educational issue? Maybe people are learning "convenient lies" about how Git works so they can get started, and don't move forward to learning the real truth of the matter? Just speaking from the

Man, I never completed the main set of that game. Something around level 15 just seemed impossible to me :D

A yawn? Is there any alternative that even has 10% of the mindshare of FLAC?

I think I've noticed this most with SD NTSC and DVD MPEG2 transfers of B&W film. It's much less of a problem with HD Blu-ray versions.

People often think that old video must be stuck to standard definition (or worse), because they're used to seeing it on NTSC/PAL broadcasts, VHS, or DVD. The reality is, these things were captured on film, and there's no reas

Reno, Nevada is further west than Los Angeles, California. Same effect, US perspective :) Heck, Spokane, Washington is nearly the same longitude as Los Angeles.

Keep in mind that nano's name is derived from the fact it's a clone of pico, and things might start to make more sense. GNU nano's name is a play on words, not a statement about its size.

You're not going to do this for security. It's purely for fun :)

"ET uses TCP" Right there, Eternal doesn't even try to cover the same use case as Mosh. It might be an alternative, same way regular SSH is an alternative, but there's no way it can be "better"

Basically everything on FreeBSD supports it via libxo.

What good would ZFS be without that? The key differences are in two places: 1. Every administration task for ZFS is done online. You don't need to take your pool offline just to check for errors and repair them (if possible). (Mind tha

You can use fuse2fs to mount any ext[24] file system in user space. You can even use "-o fakeroot" to get complete control over UIDs and modes.
