"Perl was very memory inefficient so you could often only serve 4 users at the same time, given the limited RAM available (eg. 512M - 1G). Note that Perl's speed was not a problem. I suspect this one has probably gone away with m

Do $150 products count? If so: an air fryer. It really cut this household's "stove time" and electricity consumption down. They're more versatile than one may think at first glance. It's worth spending a little bit

Genuine question: do you also prep for disaster? "This might come in handy some day" etc.

But why? The device has an indirect scientific value, and additionally it does no harm. I cannot understand your vitriol and malice.

I think a lot of people's first reaction was "what do you mean, again ?" Personally I was always open to it, no matter all great services along the lines of Netflix and Spotify etc.

The entire article is a snarky dismissal of humanity's possibly grandest venture so far. Let us at least allow ourselves room for some "bilateralism".

Authors like this one previously also wrote poorly aged hit pieces like "Why not across the oceans", "Why not to the skies" and "Why not to space".

It reminds me about people's never-ending discrediting of and disbelief in mankind's unstoppable progress . "We will never reach the depths of the oceans." "We will never reach all surfaces on the Earth." &quo

"240 is multicast etc?" That would be 224.0.0.0/4, no?

Can anyone write a little bit on 240.0.0.0/4 ("Future use"), 48.0.0.0/8 ("Prudential securities", same as Wachovia?) and 25.0.0.0/8, what they are about and why they're seemingly entirely unused?

I've been using OS X since 2005 and have of course noticed the same, how to put it... dissipating quality assurance... that set root somewhere around 2010. But I recently moved from Mojave to Monterey, and to my great surprise it has b

In Sweden it's also a bit of a tradition to watch this on NYE.

"DOpus" was great, though I preferred DirWork, a much lighter ditto which still ticked pretty much all of the boxes for me.

"You don't even need to know any specifics" Is this attitude why you and everyone else is making the assumption that exactly every stray biometric identity that can be salvaged from this disaster is guaranteed to be a trait

"Some of which" isn't the same as "all of them", and none of those three categories exclude being an islamist. I get that it's a serious case of recklessness, but the reactions here are too alarmist.

I think the point he wants to make is that the biometric data itself is raw and nothing about it is "tagged" to discern between collaborators and common people, nor is it circumstantially implied that all of the data belonged to c

Does something in this raw data distinctly separate collaborators from "common people"? It's a travesty that they left the devices and the data behind, but I can't see anything in the article clearly stating that the 2

People using this scheme for memorable passwords will be sticking to a very narrow set of words. There are several psychological factors that can be exploited here. It's not a good password scheme unless you aim for 7-8 words minimum.

I caught such on camera about 10-12 years ago in southern Sweden. Though curious enough for me to go get my camera, at the time they didn't strike me as rare as I had seen them form before.

Are there any numbers on the spread of these toxins and blights in Asia and the Americas? Would be interesting to see a comparison between continents.

We version-control all of it. Your assumptions don't matter for reality.

Death, or even hospitalization. Swedish case statistics on COVID are very thorough and the data is public.

I don't know what stupid assumptions you're making, so I'll fill you in: The Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare has been producing thorough public statistics over the situation in Sweden ever since the COVID outbrea
