It opens a separate xterm window on debian. Does it have an integrated terminal on windows?

I've been playing with this on Linux. Lots of features. Built-in everything: editor, viewer, searcher, batch-renamer, grepper, etc. It all seems to work. No crashes. FreePascal is fantastic for writing things like this. If I were

It is a legal argument for liability. By reaching outside their own specialty, digging into the ethics & practices of their customers, and taking action against them, they've opened themselves up to plaintiffs & regulators. I

Construing recorded copulation as "speech" was always a reach. That interpretation remains only a case or two away from being discarded. Until the money runs out, I don't think it will be though.

Can't speak for matheusmoreira , but I think Visa should handle payments & law enforcement should handle diddlers. Turning payment processors into an extra-judicial enforcement system on top of the existing one is a mess in so ma

Visa cut off Gab.com, on their own initiative, for incidentally carrying posts by the Pittsburgh shooter. Why didn't they exercise the same judgement against PornHub for incidentally carrying vids of child sexploitation? They opened t

I remember when these started taking over. Last semester's calculus class became next semester's "calculator" class. Okay for a few budding programmers; an educational decline for everyone else. And I never understood

Ideology doesn't factor into this. There is something in the water that shouldn't be there, and someone put it there---largely without permission. And what constitutes a "low dose" frequently changes by several orders

DOS was barely an operating system, so the programs had to bundle their own drivers & speak directly to the hardware for anything more than disk/compute. Because of this, that one little 8/16 change cut Wang off from the lion

To be fair, I think An shot himself in the foot long before the boy took over--by making a "PC" with a 16-bit bus when the standard was 8-bit. From a computer engineering perspective, it was the obvious and correct thing to do.

On the one hand, he's right. On the other hand, I feel gaslit by the fact that, superficially speaking, someone has built a brand & an income around a BS token like " starmanning ". I mean, we've all cast pearls be

As someone who has read that book, & owns it, I can attest to the fact that Ted knows more about how computers work than most people who call themselves professional programmers ( I know, I know, low bar..., but even so ). If this were

Ted wrote a book (" Computer Lib/Dream Machines ", 1974). He still sells it! Ted has known how computers work, in high detail, for longer than most of us have been alive.

The main log provides CoW-like functionality, & archive logs provide snapshot-like functionality. Having the DB & the file system duel over these responsibilities is trouble waiting to happen.

Read what I wrote more carefully. Checksumming is error detection only , while parity schemes can handle both error detection & correction. Checksumming blocks in software that are already being checksummed in hardware is redundant.

My computers from 15 years ago, PC or Mac, did all of these things--even high-res FPS games--beautifully. If all you do is surf/email/music/video/games--and I don't think it requires a citation to believe that this

Checksum vs parity. I would wager that the drive firmware also detected the error. This is why I think ZFS checksumming is largely redundant. Parity / error correction over a zpool being another issue entirely. This is not to ding Z

XFS has a long and solid track record, but without the workload-dependent regressions which can be encountered in a copy-on-write filesystem. Decent hard drives have had internal checksums for ages. If the drive is even halfway functionin
