It looks like this isn't included by default with the base nginx, but requires you to install it as a separate module. Or am I wrong? https://github.com/nginx/nginx-acme

My man. What do you think the word "steal" means? You can't just redefine words because you don't like new technology. Do we need to drop down to 1st grade story problems? --- Alice has 1 apple. Eve has 0 apples. Eve ste

Those specialized network cards have ASICs that parse network packets and don't need additional memory to do their job. You can easily build a fixed-size hardware register to hold an IPv4 packet header, for example. But a "high le

That would be a bug, so just... don't do that? If you return a pointer to a local variable that outlives the scope, the pointer would be dangling. Does that mean we should ban pointers? If you close over a pointer to a local variable t

Why is omitting the fact that T is a type useful? T could be a normal value too. This reminds me of C in the 1970s where the compiler assumed every typo was a new variable of type int. Explicit is good.

Zig is planning to get rid of explicit `T{}` syntax, in favor of only supporting inferred types. https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/5038 So the explanation of a dot standing in for a type doesn't make

Since we're talking syntax... it's mildly infuriating that the zig parser is not smart enough to understand expressions like `const x=a()orelse b();`. You have to manually add a space before `orelse` -- but isn't that what `z

That still doesn't help, because the flashes are independent of the content of the video. To illustrate: echo "This comment was posted at 18:21 UTC" | sha256sum 4f51109e71ec4df85a52affec59a9104837664be3008d1bd70cb8b4fbe
