The ones under the Baltic (with the exception of some islands) are not 'critical', as in they're used for reasons (cost, latency, directness), but those reasons are not b/c there's no other way to connect to the Int

It's possible, but it's also important to be aware of the business side of things. Valve makes a significant amount of money from in-game transactions, and some of their practices around this are shady. Issues like kids using thei

I experienced the trust factor (banning, w/o banning officially) issues on my Linux CS:GO account in 2021, dropping to yellow and then red. This made it difficult to find teammates, as I was constantly matched with cheaters. I discover

If we wanted to model the universe as a set of equations or a cellular automaton, how complex would that program be? Could a competent software engineer, even without knowing the fundamental origins of things like particle masses or the fin

For gaming, RetroPie is a cool solution (it doesn't require raspberrypi). I have a setup using HP Pro Mini 400 G9 that boots directly into EmulationStation. It's perfect for playing with my kid, covering everything from NES to mor

I'm starting to wonder if the Linux networking stack has become a bit too layered. I recently spent some time debugging a Wireguard tunnel on a VPS. Simple 'ip r sh' checks and tcpdump'ing weren't revealing the full

Chollet's shift in tone is interesting. As recently as 2022, he expressed strong skepticism about LLMs solving ARC-AGI within a decade. Now, he seems to suggest that significant progress on the challenge is possible within the next 1-2

I don't believe a process reading from a pipe/socketpair/whatever can enforce such constraints on a writing process (except using heavy hackery like ptrace()). While it might be possible to adjust the pipe buffer size, I&#x27

It's more accurate to say Russia's history as a distinct entity goes back around 850 years. Before that, it was part of Kyivan Rus', and the term "Ruthenian" primarily referred to the people and territory of modern-

Classic playbook - aggressors always claim grievances: Japan and oil access, Germany and Prussia/Danzig extranational transport corridors, Russia and "oppressed comrades". Tribalism is a powerful reality distortion force.

As a Pole by birth, I'm undoubtedly biased. However, it's not as simple as "Putin wants war, despite opposition from most Russians." Living near the USSR border and within the Soviet sphere of influence taught me that a

Turning the Baltic into a "NATO lake" by controlling the Finland-Estonia strait would be an interesting idea, especially now with Finland and Sweden in the alliance. Effectively limiting Russian naval access from St. Petersburg (e

The problem is something a bit else (jstarks figured it out somewhere below). I'm not a compiler/abi eng, but it seems to depend on a compiler, eg. consider this with clang-16: #include <sys/syscall.h> #include &l

by jagrsw 2y ago
Just a friendly reminder that syscall() is a vararg function. Meaning, you can't just go throwing arguments at it (so maybe it's better to use this wrapper to avoid problems instead). For example, on a 64-bit arch, this code would

If Apple controls the root of trust, like the private keys in the CPU or security processor used to check the enclave (similar to how Intel and AMD do it with SEV-SNP and TDX), then technically, it's a "trust us" situation, s

All C's native datatypes should be avoided for cross-platform data structures (networking, databases, file storage) because the standard only guarantees minimum sizes. Additional problem is the endianess. uint64_t is a bit verbose, man

init7's post about overbooking is somewhat misleading. As their customer, I think it's more about how overbooking hurts them as a provider, not just us end-users. I used to have a 10Gbps connection through Swisscom (Switzerland&#x

I agree. He's probably been conditioned by experience to speak with confidence until proven wrong ("strong opinions, weakly held"), but I don't like it either. Oh... the lost art of saying, "In my opinion."

Alchemists predicted the transmutation of metals into gold for centuries, and on a sunny day in the 20th century, it arrived (a bit radioactive, but still). Unless the human brain is made of some sacred substance, the worst-case scenario is
