What you're looking for is called Parchive. It uses Reed-Solomon coding in order to generate redundant files that can be used to recover the original. Look for PAR2 utilities (the current major version of the format). It has multipl

I understand that Mesa (with the Zink OpenGL on top of Vulkan implementation) can be compiled for Windows. If you care that much, maybe give it a shot.

More and more, when looking for (open source) software solutions to adopt for my startup, Go as a development language is a deciding factor. Go-based software is smaller, faster, easier to deploy, easier to update, easier to contribute to.

You might want to set aside the anti-American prejudice, as you've got your facts completely wrong. T&G, the New Zealand kiwi company (founded in 1897 by an England-born immigrant to New Zealand) started marketing their fruit as th

I use Airflow, and am a big fan. I don't think it's particularly clear, however, as to when to use airflow. The single best reason to use airflow is that you have some data source with a time-based axis that you want to transfe

There's already a service that supports this general concept called NGrok ( https://ngrok.com/ ). They support plaintext tunnels for free, and encrypted tunnels starting at eight dollars a month. I cam across the servi

Forget the encryption; alter the protocol to support overfetching. (Instead of fetching a specific site, you fetch blocks of sites). In a naive version, you'd ask for every site from goodreads.com through to google.com, and then the

A little bit of education about container systems in linux[1]. A container system is typically made up a number of components: isolation layer : the piece that limits privileges and resource usage. (On linux, this is usually handled by cg

Jimmy Wales takes $0. I know they're not in the same situation, but even half that salary provides an extravagant lifestyle. I don't think he should be poor, I just think that if he's asking people to give up their money t

I've always thought that the current salary requirement (min 60k) was a poor way to go about implementing H1B. Companies want H1B visas, workers want to make sure that their jobs are not displaced. As such, they should make the salary
