I have a novice question: If I create a new passkey using Chrome on a Mac, is that passkey stored in chrome (via google account) or on MacOS iCloud Keychain? Would I get to pick one or the other?

C is an abstraction, and most (all?) cpu architectures pretends to be c machines. I don't know of any other way of manipulating the cpu as closely as C and assembly. Do you?

I know about this article. Thank you. I said C is "close to" how a computer works. C is an abstraction, and most (all?) cpu architectures pretends to be c machines. There was a talk (Kelly?) where even assembly is nowhere close to

I work on a code base that is a mixture of Go and C. It's IO, CPU and Memory hungry, and it's distributed. C is fast because it's close to how CPU and memory actually work. Go gives you 95+% of that plus easy to learn, easy t

When Scala was "hot", it was embraced by very good programmers. The complexity of the language sort of demanded it. Thus, the stuff they wrote were well written. After they leave, nobody can improve it or change it. (See sibling r

If such huge companies who has both the need and the resources to use ipv6 internally would rather stick to 240/4 or 10/8 ipv4, what hope do smaller organizations have of adopting ipv6?

I think this is the argument NTP makes for not including the offset. TAI can be just another "timezone", so that TZDATA should be to used it to derive it. But that's backwards. A Stratum 1 NTP usually gets its data from GPS,

by kosherhurricane 4y ago
It seems the problem of adopting TAI for computers is because the NTP protocol does not provide the offset. We should add TAI-UTC offset to the NTP protocol.

by kosherhurricane 4y ago
I totally support this. In fact, I would say all computer systems should just use TAI, and display UTC to the user. Someone should fork the NTP protocol to use TAI instead, and go from there (or at least provide tai offset).

Oh, it's worse than that. US Lend Lease to Ukraine was what, $30B? And that money hasn't been even tapped yet. I don't know the current numbers today, but I'm thinking at least $5B has gone to Ukraine in arms, just from

Lack of 'async' in Go has been a great design choice (aka, an absolute blessing). People complain a lot about Go's missing features, and they did end up adding generics, but their conservative approach I think has been a net

Your risk of heart failure is much greater with infection than with vaccination. It turns out that Covid messes up your immune system and will reinfect you multiple times, so there will be no natural herd immunity. And with each infection
