I have five cats. They are indoor / outdoor (I get them inside before dark). Living in a rural (forest) area, there is a fair amount of critters around. In the last six years, there have been maybe 6-8 birds caught and about 2 chick

ASN.1 is a specification. DER/BER were methods to encode that specification.

Those libraries were originally written in the early/mid 90s. Don’t recall much in the way of code generation tools that would take those specs and generate the code at the time. Spent a bunch of time working with and adding to those

The first 1/2 to 2/3 of the page is ads. For slightly obscure things find myself having to tweak wording, use controls like omitting words.

They eventually removed the request, but there was a group that wanted to create a blockchain utopia (smartcity) north of Reno, Nevada. https://www.rgj.com/story/news/politics/2021/10/07/blockch

Most do. A number of european airlines require an extra fee to prebook a seat, but at least a year ago, many had maps available.

It is a good summary. My first reaction was "for pain and suffering". If you are hosting a server in some cloud provider, you probably still want to have your primary DNS not on that server. Yes, there are caveats.

Interesting list. 2021 brought back a desire of using fountain pens. It also found me splurging. I like heft in pens. I have a Cross and a german brand - from my ex-father-in-law. That got expanded. I prefer the german one (can't

I was more a FreeBSD person at the time, slutty to try various things, but 2000s think pads and FreeBSD just worked at some point and never changed that system. Used OSX otherwise. Printers were the other Linux/OS X usage gap.

I thought compiz was interesting and it did have an impact. That said, In the mid 2000s, Linux was better but still had issues getting video/etc configured properly (depending on what you wanted to do/your hardware). I specifical

As expected HN seems to have animosity towards Hedera. I was only pointing out their tech is actually pretty distributed.

I get your point, but there were a handful of people present that were armed in some form. That said, breaking into the Capitol Building was not a peaceful act.

Many in demand vehicles have seen dealer markups. Sprinter vans - two different dealers in the Bay Area - markups for 4x4 and high roof.

This is a very specific to Hedera Hashgraph link. But they are based on ABFT based consensus algorithm and they have a governing council that includes Google and other entities. Their consensus mechanism requires a majority of nodes outsi

CPU as mentioned. Years ago at a startup, we had a mobile app running on Windows Mobile. Tracking down an SSL library was difficult. The one we found was slow. We ended up working with a well known cryptographer to come up with (he had)

Building housing isn't going to "solve homelessness". The majority of "visible homeless" that you see on the streets, etc. have mental health and addiction issues. Also, most housing, especially those catering to

I kind of wish those writing cloud services were forced to use and build things on those services. I suspect it would result in a good number of usability issues - like consistency in networking in different services.

C can be written in a way to minimize vulnerabilities. You use things like critical thinking and sanitize/validate inputs to functions and before you call libraries. The log4j vulnerabilities and others like it where input validation

For my Tacoma, I make sure to put enough weight in the back (over the rear axle) to help offset the vehicle being front heavy. Typically in straightaways, if no one is around, on some of the rural roads I drive I'll test braking (not

I've dealt with snow in the PNW (including Vancouver, BC) and the region really isn't great about how to deal with it. Hell, WA and OR can barely deal with driving in the rain. If you want some humorous questions / etc. rega

Many cities do little to nothing about bike theft. I've sat in meetings with a prior police chief of the city of Santa Cruz where he flat out stated, unless the owner sees the theft (or an officer does), they will not do anything. At

Android allows VOIP apps to register as a dialer. They have allowed this for YEARS . One company I worked with some years back was looking at working with phone vendors who based their phones on Android about replacing the default dialer

Oh FFS, it’s an issue with app/dialer integration based on Android design and permissions. But, I know it’s popular to bash MS. I’m not a teams fan, but this is taking things a tad far. Edit: dialer has been autocorrected to diaper

Didn’t read the article? But in the US inside there aren’t plastic barriers. There will be no updating of hvac systems. I’m pro mask indoors, but favor places that are pro vaccine card. WA and OR were more appropriate to this than CA. Y
