It's a little hard to get outraged about that hypothetical, given that legitimate usage of DocuSign typically involves sending them documents containing all sorts of sensitive information.

Shutting down GMail would practically amount to shutting down email. It's by far the largest email provider in the US (and probably in the world but I don't have that data). There's no other provider who could take up the sla

Given the era, I wouldn't be surprised if it came down to "someone on the development team liked that part". (Or "someone in the purchasing department got a bunch of them really cheap".)

Are you sure that's the only cause? I can think of some other events in 2020 that might have led to a lot of youth dropping out of in-person programs.

I think the problem goes beyond that. Meta never had a particularly coherent story for what "Horizon Worlds" was supposed to be to users - it was variously pitched as an online conference room, a social hangout, a way to explore 3

I'm especially curious how much small-scale shared hosting is left. The big companies like EIG are certainly still around, but the little one-off hosting companies are much less common.

It's been a long time since I've done it, but I could type pretty quickly on a TI-83 - even with the silly ABC keyboard layout and all.

Eswatini is also an absolute monarchy which bans the formation of political parties, does not allow women to own property, and has the highest rate of HIV/AIDS infection of any country in the world. So, probably not a great place to ho

3.5 MB is pretty generous, actually! Some older TI-84 models had MicroPython running on a secondary ATSAMD21 processor with 32 KB of RAM - that was effectively unusable.

The Y piece (part C in the photos) seems a little silly. Surely there are commercially available hose fittings which would be suitable - possibly even ones which a hospital would have on hand?

The underlying tcmalloc issue is interesting - the library was relying on an implementation detail of the rseq kernel API which was never guaranteed, and which already generated warnings in previous versions. https://lore.kernel.

> $100 for a somewhat specialized, durable medical device... And one which is treated as a status symbol, at that. Part of the reason a good stethoscope costs more is because it looks nicer, not just because it works better.

"Here's a nickel, kid. Go buy yourself a real computer." If you go out of your way to make your computing environment weird, don't be surprised when things don't work for you.

That's two of them - there's also a "redundancy coprocessor" which implements security features like stack canaries and flow control assertions. (As well as the standard ARM single-precision FPU.)

Snow is great for what it is, but it's limited (for now) to a small set of early Macintosh systems, up through part of the Macintosh II series. Basilisk II and SheepShaver are still the best option available for later Macintosh systems

Some of them still do. RP2350 has a couple of custom coprocessors, for instance.

Speed certainly certainly isn't an issue for AX.25. The protocol typically runs at <10 kbps; the overhead of processing packets in userspace is negligible.

And there was no Touch Bar-equipped external keyboard either, so users with a desktop system were shut out entirely.

TL;DR: because it doesn't actually solve anything. Being able to jam an IPv4 address into an IPv6 packet header doesn't mean you can send that packet to an IPv4-only host and have it be understood. You still need an IPv6 stack on

Premiere is in the unique position of being the oldest video editing suite on the market - the first version was released in 1991! Much as with Photoshop, this sort of automatically makes it the gold standard.

Quantum computing has been stuck in a sort of attempted hype cycle for the last five or ten years now, I think.

Do present-day quantum computers compute any nontrivial tasks (i.e. beyond factoring the number 15)?

That's not quite it. The issue is that there's no other traffic bound to that IP - ECH doesn't buy you any security, because an observer doesn't even need to look at the content of the traffic to know where it's h

Not all TV shows get a physical media release. Even when they do, it's not uncommon for them to be lower quality than the streaming release. (For example, the streaming release of The Expanse was 4k HDR, but the Blu-Ray release is 10

That doesn't follow. The chart is counting the number of acres of land which are used for specific purposes, not the number of cattle being raised on that land. And the category you're counting as "pasture" encompasses r
