I can’t be the only one who started typing ‘doas’ on Linux/MacOS and ‘sudo’ on OpenBSD.

For those whose muscle memory is all confused now there's OpenDoas: https://github.com/Duncaen/OpenDoas

A wet bulb event occurs when the combined temperature and humidity (the so called "wet bulb temperature") exceeds the limits of human physiology, causing humans to overheat and perish even in the absence of any activity beyond bas

Note that for hobbyists RTL is still interesting when building a logic circuit from discrete components.

There is no such space in the IPv4 header. And even if it were possible and you could specify an IPv4+, you’d run into the exact same problem: people would still insist on an IPv4 address to talk to whoever still is in the IPv4 world.

That’s pretty much what DOS did as well.

It’s interesting to see the New Zealander making an argument based upon social responsibility and the American responding with an argument based upon individual liberty. I just wanted to share that observation.

Sure. But it’s a lot easier to pay back your investment in product development if you can amortise it over 50.000.000 GPUs instead of 50.000 GPUs. Same for ironing out the bugs in your software. Getting paid a small yearly salary for every

Maybe. But a bigger molecule will be less soluble and less capable of getting into the cell.

It’s anticompetitive for the very reason places like HN have been up in arms about it (and rightly so IMO): it serves to limit which browser software a user may use to access a site. The fact that it’s an open standard is immaterial.

by irdc 3y ago
Yes, but each and every website needs to explicitly allow each and every browser key. Which increases barriers to entry for new browser vendors and makes Open Source / Free Software browsers nigh impossible. The EU isn’t stupid and is

I don’t expect the EU to allow Google to treat fines as just a part of doing business. If a fine doesn’t lead in a change of behaviour, more rigorous measures will probably be implemented. EU lawmakers are itching for a reason to split up b

TBH, not supporting IPv6 in this day and age is just unconscionable.

Interestingly, ArthurOS (what would eventually be renamed to RISC OS) version 1.2 from 1987 already used an [x] to close ( https://guidebookgallery.org/screenshots/riscos12 ) thus predating NeXTSTEP.

A moral rejection of self-enrichment is a core cultural value in the West (and probably in other regions as well) going back to, at least, the Middle Ages. If you’re expecting to alter people’s core cultural values through posting on HN, yo

That’s not what most people would see as “institutionalised prejudice” though.

That doesn’t answer my question. It sounds like you’re using “institutionalised” as a scare word.

What part is institutionalised?

Considering OpenBSD still supports some fairly old platforms[0] (for fairly good reasons, mainly that it helps catch bugs and keep the source tree portable) I don't see that happening soon. 0. https://www.openbsd.org/pl

If we’re being pedantic, the Commodore 64 was produced until 1994, so the most recent specimens around 29 years old.

Good question. However, the original hardware is approaching 40 years now, and one could argue that after yet as many years we won’t have anything different.
