   Might want to use the technique in this excerpt from the article in the future before saving doas.conf to /etc. I typically work on my /etc files in a scratch directory and then mv them into /etc > doas > The doas comma

   I think there is a key point in the FAQ (article four, all linked through the series): > You are conflating Big-O with memory hierarchies > No, I’m applying Big-O to memory hierarchies. Big-O is a tool, and I am applying it to analyze

    I am, and apologies for that. My starting point is "The goal of a recruiter is to fill positions." This leads to hiring actions being the key conversion step. In a hiring pipeline with length like Google's or similar, I could

    I've made this comment before, and I don't intend it to be flippant, but am honestly curious. If Common Lisp is a failure, how is it that there are multiple commercial offerings for it?[0][1] I would take the continued presence of

    I'd say that it's not just spin and trying to be closer to what Intel's architecture is. The FP contention between the cores in a Bulldozer module makes all recent AMD chips perform objectively worse in most benchmarks than t

    Gene-swapping is at least mentioned in the fourth paragraph of the article. I would like some more detail on this part, too. They also have more references to virus resistance for what sound like the same reasons: > Fourth paragraph: &gt

    I'm not trying to sound smug or dismissive, but I don't have much time for deep discussion right now. The question that pops into my mind is this: How many unsuccessful languages have multiple long-lived commercial offerings?[0][1
