I'm not clear on why uTorrent depends on extreme backwards compatibility. Isn't that a currently updated product?

Yes. I can imagine it because they've already done so repeatedly. The first case I can think of was Apple working with IBM on the Taligent operating system (designed to compete with what became NT and NeXTStep) circa 1988. Then the P

I found it fascinating that NEC's new vector machine is now vector accelerator's on PCIe cards. First, this reminds me of how early vector processors were add-ons to existing processors. I wonder if that changes the programming mo

I get what you mean about that for Lisp (although, if I'm not mistaken, early LISPs were more like SBCL than Allegro or Symbolics in turns of user environment), but what Scheme version ever offered such a rich environment as the Lisp o

Since most NUCs don't take 3.5" HDs, I assume you mean attaching via USB3? You should be able to get a Thin Terminal device for about $100US with USB3.0 and gigabit ethernet and/or wifi. With a little shopping, you may even

It is possible to run macOS on beefier hardware (if you ignore the license) and run more VMs per host (again, if you ignore the license). In Apple's case, they don't have license issues to worry about and thus can do their SaaS&#

Until 2008, US citizens didn't need a passport to enter Canada. What initially changed in 2008 was actually that you needed the passport to return back to the US. I don't know what the rules were back then for moving to Canada, bu

If you strip Linux and run your app as PID 1, you will still have context switching between user space and kernel space, which can be fairly expensive (thus the interest in user land TCP/IP stacks). Presumably most unikernels avoid tha

The binary kernel in the ISO seems to certainly be a derivative work of Linux, but only the copyright owners whose code is included in that binary kernel would have standing to sue about this. That means parties like Linus Torvalds, Intel,

You aren't allowed to ask for paper work anyway. Here is all they are allowed to ask: "A public entity may ask if the animal is required because of a disability and what work or task the animal has been trained to perform."

If combining gpl and cddl in a redistributed file is a violation of gpl but not cddl, then what would the holder of the copyright of the cddl code be able to sue about? I think the concern is that a contributor to Linux might sue, just like

Australia was considering forced castrations as recently as 2015. Also, I'm led to believe that internet service is fairly poor there due to limiting outgoing bandwidth. I don't really know anything bad about NZ.
