I have read that comment and such before. However it is still a fork. It started off with the same code base, and is being rewritten in guile from the top down. That rewrite is bring new features, differences, and makes them not compatible

Nix and Guix are extremely similar. Guix is a fork of nix that is rewriting it to be guile all the way down. I personally like Nix's syntax better than a lisp, but that is just a preference. The core of how they operate is the same. Ju

25,000 if we are talking about significant digits is not very precise. Also, I interpret the 5 to mean between 20 and 30k.

Ironically, investors pulling out might be good for Zuckerberg. If a business is highly profitable but the investors don't see it that way, then it may make sense for him to take the company private again. This happened with Dell about

People seem to be down voting without explaining. Refresh rate isn't latency. Though you are right that you do have to wait for the screen to redraw. There is screen latency as a completely separate number though, and those would add u

Amazing. The top level comment is about improving performance even when many people say it isn't important. Someone says it would be nice to get even lower, and you say it isn't important. Full circle in three comments.

The universal consensus after anyone looking at the code is that they should not use it. What I don't understand is why and who are they people who are up voting this and keeping it on the front page. Do people just see rust, and then

Since the technologies are so closely related, it's worth it to also look at the nixos equivalent. https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Linux_kernel

The line length thing is what I hate the most about black. It's way too religious. For strings, it will format it like he formatted the array, and adding a word will reflow the entire block of text.

At this point, the list is very long. Development forked many years ago when Oracle closed the source. Both sides have been in very active development since.

I use nix in production, and it is amazing. It's super config management on steroids with the ability to roll back in a literal instant. Guix is based off nix, I have looked at it a few times, but it seems much more complicated and les

I think they would totally take it, with all sorts of special terms. Also, they don't need to have a requirement to say they will get you all that cash immediately to keep the tether promise. Lastly, putting that money in bonds, index

For the record, I think all this crypto currency stuff is plain dumb, and that tether is likely a fraud. That said they don't state anything about what their reserve is. Wealthfront has a 2.3% savings account for us normal people. If I

You can invest the money, the same as banks do. It's why they don't charge you to store money with them, especially if your balance is high. You only need and should keep enough liquid cash needed to handle day to day withdrawals.

I can't figure out how you only serve the alt-srv onion address only via the tor browser. Browsing via tor otherwise does not return that header. I have tried mimicking the user agent and many other headers, but I cannot get CF to send

100% but just not using Facebook is not a very effective strategy. And thinking that not using Facebook protects you from Facebook could be dangerous.

This is a over simplification I think. In IPFS to add a file to a folder, you need to rebuild that folder which changes the address. You still need to get people to access the new address to see any updates. IPNS makes that fairly easy, but

I don't think memory is the issue. Hash algorithms are just complicated math. This math is now targeting the CPU architectures themselves. It's easier to make it faster to write it in assembly were you can hand tune all the instru

Git does store deltas between files to reduce space. Every so often it stores a full copy of the file to improve performance. Perhapps patch was the wrong word, but a delta and a patch are the same in my mind. I am sure everything, includin

Their wording is indeed bad, and does not convey at all what they wanted to convey. Git stores patches to reduce disk size, and does so very effectively. However the same exact patch, applied to a different head has a different commit id. T

Git won the war before GitHub existed. More projects were switching to git than hg. GitHub was then mirroring open source projects git repos without asking. (Which I think is fine, but ruffled some feathers back then) GitHub could have easi

I think the internet would have been a much better place if SCTP caught on 15 years ago. It solved so many problems way ahead of it's time. Ah well.

To quantify this now. Are you counting a final product as them going GA, allowing anyone to buy and get one? Or are you counting a final product one that you do not consider beta. The latter is very open to interpretation.

Many of these devices have to listen for something. Mdns, http, printer, etc. Having a firewall does nothing when you have to open up the ports that are being exploited anyway.

Imagine that TLS 1.3 is found to have a critical flaw and more vulnerable than TLS 1.2. You then set your min/max to 1.2. Later TLS 1.4 comes out. How can I allow new TLS 1.4 and existing TLS 1.2 clients without allowing TLS 1.3 client

A lot of things like COBRA go though your former employer. I wonder how many post-employment benfits work at when the former employer no longer exists.

I was unaware, but I guess that sorta makes sense. I have only done with USB A style, which is an Epoxied PCB which makes it fairly hard to break. USB C has a connector that cannot just be the PCB, and so it needs a housing and such.
