W^X is only true in an extremely narrow sense. They said they were first, and that it cannot be done on x86. Which was a surprise to me, having run it on multiple Linux architectures, including x86, for years with PaX or grsec. Then I guess

Do you have data on that? I've heard rumors, but never seen it actually done. It was never a viable option for the Internet (million or billions of devices would never support it, and anyway it'd only buy us like 3 months), but in

> telecoms that deal with consumers have at best 0 (zero) incentive to deploy ipv6 unless there's regulatory pressure. Not entirely true. 10/8 is only so big, so the management of addresses very much has a nonzero opex cost. An

> "Hard" for many is "unfamiliar." IPv4 plus NAT and all that ugliness is the devil we know. Indeed. I meant that if evaluating the two de novo, IPv4+NAT is harder.

This is a response to what appears to be a complaint that IPv6 is not treated as a first class citizen by some providers, not literally that it's hard. If anything, IPv4 is much harder. The Internet is in an abusive relationship with N

I love C++. I've coded in C++ for like 30 years at this point. C++11 breathed new life into the language, to the point where it's a different and much better language now. But some of these new features… I feel like they're a

Obviously I don't know either way. But remember when saying "lab leak" god you banned from social media? I don't think anybody ever explained why exactly it was "racist" to think that labs can leak in China jus

I don't think Ben Treynor knows what SRE at Google is, anymore. I've heard from multiple sources that he's checked out, retired, and chilling on his ranch. I'm sure there's some team at Google that does this, but th

I used elks back when I was too poor to buy a real laptop. My laptop was a 286 (old even then), with a shot battery. So I used elks and lugged around a lead acid motorcycle battery. It was great for my circumstances, but I wouldn't say

I think you missed my point. Your comment reads as "to those who call themselves X: No, you're not at all a bad person!". Like, they never said they were. I don't label myself. It's a description. I could tell you I

I held back a similar comment about AI-generated. I think the "AI-generated" accusation is overused. This article was incoherent nonsense, but not all incoherent nonsense hallucinations are AI-generated.

Yeah EV is the bee's knees. No sudden surprise from some automatic transmission computer deciding to suddenly jolt you for no reason. And as you say, "engine braking" with an EV is just "press the brake. It'll regen

Can you drive a car with manual transmission? If you can, then do you feel helped by automatic transmission? I don't. I feel like too often the automatic transmission makes the wrong choice. It doesn't feel like more work at all,

A bit. But note that "you could too" is not a "you should too". I can back up without a camera, and I can "drive stick" as Americans call it. But a teenager learning to drive today should maybe not bother. But

Would have been a great opportunity to make money then by exporting their own nuclear power... if they hadn't shut a bunch of it down. Then they could have chosen to refund their own consumers, if that's what they wanted.

The latter seems to only be RV64GC, meaning no vector instructions, right? Your first link though, based on PIC64HX, seems to be what I'm waiting for. I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks!

RV64GBC, so still no vector instructions? Does anyone know if there's a den board / soc that does the V set yet?

Did you appreciate my comment's real meaning, that one can have empathy for everyone else too, who need to work with this data? Another solution is, of course, to give everyone usernames they don't want. E.g. your user name is you
