   Sure, but we already have good enough players, open source even, that don't support this technology, and recent codecs have, if anything, become more open, so this only seems problematic for playback on non-general purpose computing de

   This is an exceptionally good point. For example, I suspect two major reasons DRM has been more successful on game consoles than video players are the much smaller ecosystems and much larger BOMs, not necessarily in that order.

   GP works for Netflix. The team that maintains their FreeBSD stack includes FreeBSD committers, as noted in the linked presentation. Bit of a special case. With that said, I've quickly upgraded to every production release, including .0

   I have to laugh as progressively higher time derivatives are invoked to claim improvements. "The rate of increase in the deficit slowed this month" and the like.

   Aside from named profiles, I'm not sure it wasn't born deprecated. In particular, has the profile language ever been documented by anything other than the examples used by the OS and third parties reverse engineering it?

    My dad had an address in Morgantown, Indiana, and the fact that he lived several miles south, over the county line and past antother small town, always made it pretty clear to me that he didn't live in Morgantown. Likewise, if you live

    Has the FARA ever been used to prosecute a US official for acting in the interests of any close US ally (Israel, Saudi Arabia, Five Eyes, etc.)? As I understand it, selective prosecution has always been the rule rather than the exception.

    Indeed, even the oldest, slowest Xeons shipped in SECC cartridges with integrated heatsinks. But that was several years after the book cited by the GP was published (1994, shortly after the release of the original Pentium).

    1/64, actually, because RFC-compliant (variant 1) UUIDv4 requires fixed values for both the version nibble and two bits of the variant nibble. The fact that we're discussing this at all is a reasonable argument for using a library

    Depends on the width of the browser window. Wide margins that are welcome in a full-page browser on a large or ultrawide display are cancer when I'm tiling windows 2 or 3 up on a smaller or narrower display.

    Of course it does. In the absence of reflected ambient light, the contrast ratio of black to the dimmest non-black color on an OLED display is infinite, but that doesn't mean black-on-darkest-grey text is necessarily readable, even in

    Starting with POWER8, the Linux kernel and some of the BSDs support 64-bit PowerPC in both big- and little-endian modes. Older PowerPC chips had more limited support for little-endian, and all the commercial desktop/server PowerPC OSes

    I agree, and use a 55" LG OLED TV similarly. Got it on sale for $1,300. Especially nice in a small apartment where I use the same display for video, gaming, and desktop. No USB-C, but HDMI works better for long cable runs anyway, so I
