rayon is a regenerated cellulose fibre: it biodegrades. polyester is a thermoplastic polymer synthesised from petrochemicals: it doesn’t. that’s the dividing line. one breaks down in the environment, the other persists for centuries and she

textile waste, largely, is plastic waste. Nearly all of the clothes you can buy contain a decent amount of plastic (elastane, polyester etc are just nice names for plastic). in fact, I’ve been trying to buy plastic-free clothing for a few

I do the same, and after a day of doing it- they seem to go away for a time depending on the platform, but they always come back and sometimes they come back a lot . The web-browser is the least aggressive and I think I haven’t even seen t

Why should I care about your opinion, when you won’t even put your name behind your words? Pathetic.

I mean... fair point? I'm not claiming games are uniquely performance-critical. You're right that HFT, large-scale backend, and real-time systems care deeply about performance, often with far more money at stake. But those domai

Ah, I read your comment as "game devs get too much credit for this stuff and people are glorifying Casey and Jon" and ran with that, but you were just correcting the historical record. My bad. I think we're aligned on the his

I partly agree, but I think you're overcorrecting. Game developers didn't invent data-oriented design or performance-first thinking. But there's a reason the loudest voices advocating for them in the 2020s come from games: we

Would be cool to understand the tradeoffs of the various block storage implementations. I'm using seaweedfs for a single-machine S3 compatible storage, and it works great. Though I'm missing out on a lot of administrative nice-to-

A totally valid modification to the statement I made. These are sad times.

People very often run notepad as administrator (anything launched from administrative powershell instances will run like this). In fact, if you enabled developer mode on your computer there's a registry key that gets set to run notepad

Lets be real, these outages were happening for years, nobody cares because nobody is accountable when you're too big to fail.

I haven't used an IRC server implementation in 20 years that doesn't do host masking. (IE; cloaking of client IP addresses). That said, I'm biased as I have been running an IRC community for 22 years or so... but I prefer t

Hey man, don't be sorry! I actually didn't know so this was a good correction! :) I think you got flagged for the "incorrect" definition, but I think you were being playful with a mnemonic to remember it- so that's

Doesn’t exist in Zulip, theres a “camera” button that generates a jitsi link, I tried (and failed) to make it a google meet link, but it works surprisingly well, though it is a context switch.

Hey, just wanted to say that I am a happy Zulip customer. I used it at my previous employer and after a month of hangringing from people- many did not desire to go back to what we had before. (though some people did say they wanted Slack fo

I think that's the exact irony that the parent is eluding to. It's all about the kids, unless, idk, you're rich enough?

I said, from the point of view of the bootloader: signed with an untrusted certificate and unsigned are effectively the same thing. Somehow this was controversial.

Still not elaborating on that "subtle nuance," I see.

"Subtle nuance" he says, after I've spent multiple comments explaining that bootloaders reject unsigned and untrusted-signed code identically, whilst he and others insist there's some meaningful technical distinction (wh

To the bootloader? They absolutely are. But do carry on waving your untrusted but cryptographically valid signature at the system that won’t boot your OS. I’m sure it’ll be very impressed.

Or its collective ignorance, can’t be sure. Public key infrastructure without CAs isn’t a thing as far as I can see, I’m willing to be proven wrong, but I thought the I in PK I was all about the CA system. We have PGP, but that's no

Yes, I understand the value of signatures, but thats not how PKI works.
779.
by dijit 9mo ago
thats effectively the same thing. The whole point of the majority of PKI (including secureboot) is that some third party agrees that the signature is valid; without that even though its “technically signed” it may as well not be.
