Sure. I still remember when I could order additional static IPs on residential cable internet. That doesn’t mean most getting online today in Asia or Africa basically have a choice other than CGNAT IPv4 and IPv6 from their ISP. Your own dy

I’m confused, are you complaining about ISP CGNAT or NAT in general? Did your ISP assign you a public IPv4 or not? If the former then you are lucky, that is a relative luxury. > Even after learning about how NAT works, I had no way to wo

You and the GP are misremembering (also the abundant misinformation sticking around the web is of no help). CD-R are mostly obsolete but some of us still have working equipment and do continue to burn CD-R, so that era hasn't completel

The only thing that matters here rather than the nonsense hypotheticals is that they are right, the library isn’t C89 as pointed out by others. This isn’t about not liking C89 flavor ice cream, but calling it C89 when it isn’t. Like, of all

There’s virtually nothing in that clip that is factual and it’s not internally consistent. There would be no mystery about which chip is the BIOS, it’s not even self consistent with the claim of it being “off the shelf” junk. You could just

I think the point went over your head (which just further proves mine). Hint: Perhaps read the original output more carefully: "For example, the addition of two numbers, 2+2, can be seen as a repeated application of the multiplication

“OS/2 is the dominant workstation product” In what universe other than maybe some banks was that the case? 1995 was the era of the commercial UNIX workstation.

Early DOS days. By the early 90s the raw processing power of a 486 with VGA and a Soundblaster pretty easily trounced the Amiga in raw capability, inelegant as it may have been. A bunch of demos of the period document this conflict.

You can sell $5k 6 foot AC power cords to “audiophiles”, so it goes with sub millisecond latency keyboards, music or gaming.

While I am personally not happy with any of the offerings on MacOS, alternatives don’t help those interested in wanting to use Apple Music with any lossless archive other than ALAC.

There are plenty of desktop music players on Mac that support flac, audacious, Cog, colibri, vox, Plexamp come to mind and there are others including commercial offerings. That is not the issue. People that wish to use the Apple official mu

If you must support Apple Music there is ALAC. I’m not sure of any major use case that would support FLAC but not ALAC, ie consumer AVRs support both, but would be interested to know of counterexamples.

Probably of all people a lot of ruby acolytes do since a sizable portion of that community is a DHH personality cult. And plain JS is the 2nd best language ever made in that realm.

Ruby blocks are just closures. They’re not macros as they don’t operate on syntax trees. Perhaps the person you are replying to was stating you can emulate some aspect of block syntax with a macro. If not, not sure what they’re saying.

Use it or lose it is a good base policy. Just because it isn’t perfect does not change that. Two years(!) is a long time to be sitting idly on a name and is squatting regardless of intent or circumstance.

In what way is the content of your comment strengthened by waving about a PPL? It serves only the patronize. Excise it, what does it change? Similarly, assuming that most of the audience here, aviation knowledge or not is unaware that there
