What is the source line at the end representing there? I've read The Restaurant at the End of the Universe , and while it definitely contains (and I see it as a major cultural anchor for) animals bred to desire being eaten and be able

Are you grouping the implementors with the crackers because they understand the limitations of the technology, or are you saying they're directly working with each other to scam the publishers and/or audience (and that this is suf

The “keep up the appearance of working” story feels like a misleading comparison to me, because the motivations are pretty much reversed. In the hypothetical factory, there's an external social element requiring the appearance of worki

Escape analysis that sinks a local allocation is great in itself, but for newtypes for things like “trusted HTML vs plain text”, I feel like the primary benefits are deeply interprocedural. The type constraint is encoding a promise that can

What you're describing isn't uploading the game, then, but uploading a stub with a transclusion of the game. I'm not the same commenter, but surely that doesn't answer (what I see as) most of the implications of the orig

Re that last: FWIW, in Emacs Lisp (which is case-preserving and mostly lowercase by convention, without the legacy symbol case behavior of CL), docstring convention is to use single quotes for most literals and to use all-caps to mean the

It's technically not just “an L” if we're trying to avoid Anglicizing the pronunciation, right? The “tl” cluster is its own affricate with a lateral fricative as its tail, or am I misremembering?

And to tie the third leg of the triangle back, ovals are called that because they're egg-shaped.

Is that due to patent issues? A lot of people running open source H.264 codecs¹ on Linux just ignore the patents and assume they're under the radar, but I bet a high-profile commercial entity can't get away with that. Like as a po

You could indeed run Windows in a VM with PCI passthrough, and for a while long ago my desktop was Xen and I ran a Windows 7 domU which was attached to a second graphics card. Sharing a GPU at least used to be much harder; I think there&#x2

Normal/classical FDE doesn't truly protect integrity, only confidentiality. Supposedly LUKS2 allows you to run with --integrity, but it's an extra layer of I/O amplification, and if you're willing to take that hit t

I've considered this for consolidating core hardware, but dual-boot doesn't do trust boundaries well. The Windows kernel still has full block access to the other device, so if it gets admin-level malware, it has free rein to infec

I don't think they were trying to accomplish the same thing as the Scala/Haskell version; these are just two completely different things that happen to share a name because the blog post gave the example a name that is confusing w

The NonEmptyList in Cats is a product (struct/tuple) type, though; I assume the Haskell version is the same. The type shown in the blog post is a sum (union) type which can contain an empty enumerable, which contradicts the name OneOrM

Ah! Yeah, that makes more sense—I misinterpreted you at first since I don't normally think of “internal link” as the default exemplar of “hyperlink”. And yeah, I don't see good target markup for that. Stuff like starting your sear

groff can produce output with links in it, and does by default in HTML mode! The GNU version of the Unix man page macro set has .UR and .UE for “URI start” and “URI end”. (I don't know whether these were present earlier in the lineage

The noun “idraulico” also means “plumber”.

I'm not sure I agree in general, but one of the roles most associated with intense parasociality is literally called “idol”, so there's that.

All of the keyboard-driven terminal signals can be intercepted; catching INT (^C) for cleanup is just more common than the others. Only KILL and STOP cannot be caught. ^Z sends TSTP (not STOP, though they have the same default behavior) t

To some of the critics here: did you or did you not notice the “ Somebody ought to write one of those […] Here, I'll even get the ball rolling ” framing? A polished such article this is not claiming itself to be! I would go as far as

Re “configured”—what's your locale? In en_US.UTF-8 on my Arch system it's in the system file (/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose) as <Multi_key> <minus> <underscore>.
