I admit my memory may be spotty - but was there any reason to believe this could not easily have been pulled off by 2 people - ie a married couple? Sure relationships break up but I’ve seen plenty of secrets go to a married pair’s grave.

Specifically, how do you feel someone like burntsushi represented an unearned power grab? Go on, I'm listening.

The latter. Even the linked article points out the inherent limitations.

In fairness it isn’t a great filter. As someone that had a similar story - I got a very well paying job out of high school based in part on some home grown apps 20ish years ago - the field of people doing small scale stuff was small and any

A poster above claimed the servers were “48 logical cores (2 x 12-core Xeons) and 64GB RAM”, which really isn’t what I would consider such a “beast” of a machine when the RAM is in laptop territory, and a modest number of cores for a server

I know it is 2017, but that is a very long time in the gaming/mech keyboard market. I remember just about 10 years ago when mech keyboards were a niche for weirdos and a few others that swore by their Model M's - you now can buy t

From the countless review and small time YouTube channels that test these things regularly. I think that post must be a few years out of date - and moreover by its own admission doesn’t even test hardly any “gaming” keyboards. There is a tr

OT but keyboard latency can and often is far below 50ms, more like 1ms. It seems to be a common misconception that denouncing mandates increased lag.

Can anyone confirm this? I don’t have a FreeBSD machine handy right now but I just switched user agent to FreeBSD amd64 on a Linux machine with Chromium 95 and have no issue with the front page or logging into chase.com. I have rarely encou

It’s not 8 bits. Most of the Yamaha chips seem to use 16 bits internally in 8.8 format (based on Raph Leviens work). Different models of Yamaha chips had different DAC setups, but on the DX7 the representation was 12.3 floating point - whic

6.9886 is not a floating point number - it’s just a number. Floating point is but one representation for approximation of real numbers, so called fixed point is another one. Having said that I believe the DX7 does use a floating point repre

Ah so that’s not really putting a slash in the name on disk - finder is just displaying the colon that way - it substitutes with a colon for historical reasons that have to do with pre OSX MacOS (but you can see if you create a file from a

How was this possible? None of the mainstream operating systems allow this.

Sorry but that’s bullshit.. they’re describing a basic power switch (even simpler than a PoE hat) which is nothing compared to the design complexity of an MCU board with memory, peripherals and chip level power conversion.

Mixed DPI setups are very common. A Retina Mac getting docked to external monitors of different DPI is tremendously common all over the place. Ironically on the Windows side I see tons of non HiDPI laptops that end up docked to higher DPI e

Well 22 then. That’s the typical case.

Then what is your complaint? No one is stopping you from using X for as long as you like. Meanwhile the majority of users that want sane, modern handling of HiDPI can move on.

What do you think USB power negotiation is for if not negotiating a mutually supported voltage? That’s pretty much why it exists.

No - after all, the most common use of digital signatures is to sign documents that can be easily tampered. All the security is in the signature, not the content being signed.

“Up to 3x the work” is very misleading, since the average will be much less than 3.

epoll is not an asyncio implementation, it really doesn’t belong in any discussion about aio, it’s a relatively better poll/select. Apparently less well known is that Linux had an async io interface also introduced around the same time
