   I have. I only discovered it about two weeks ago, though. But so far, I do like it. Thank you!

   I often use it to read Wikipedia articles. The layout is all jambled up, but the article content itself is fine. If a web site is low on layout, heavy on text, it usually works okay-ish. A lot of web sites these days, however, are an empty

   Given the circumstances, I am happy to read this. I own two ~2009 netbooks with Intel Atom N270 CPUs and 1GB of RAM each - running Firefox on those is ridiculous, whereas dillo will run very well on these. I used to use dillo on my main des

   I ran Gentoo on my desktop from about 2005 to 2008. The last year of that period I was without Internet access, and when I tried to update the system after being online again, it broke (not surprising, I heard similar stories from users of

   A common idiom to defang this was the "Yoda assignment": if (0 == do_something(foo)) { ... } If one accidentally omits one equals-sign, it makes the compiler barf instead of becoming a silent-but-deadly kind of bug (whether

   I live next door to a psychiatric hospital, and there is this gentleman who often roams the neighborhood talking to nobody in particular, about nothing and everything. Reading this article, I had this lightbulb-appearing-above-my-head momen

   I rely entirely on hearsay. You sound like you know more about the NT kernel's internals than I do, so I'll take your word for it.

   You know what they say about benchmarks... ;-) I prefer Linux, but performance is not my main grief about Windows.

    You could probably use DOSBox if the Docker image gives you trouble.

    The kernel, I've been told by people more knowledgeable about this things than myself, is a work of beauty. But the layers and layers of Win32 that sit on top of it do a great job of covering that up.

    OpenWatcom also runs on Linux and DOS. And maybe OS/2, at least it used to at some point. I recall it supported cross-compilation, too.

    I don't like it very much, but every single small-to-medium non-IT company I have seen runs on Windows. Sometimes they require Windows specifically because of third-party software (SCADA/industrial automation for example), more of

    Microsoft's Active Directory, DHCP server, and DNS server integrate very closely. When a domain member gets a dynamic IP address, the DHCP server will inform the DNS server to update its record for that host. Many companies are, let&#x

    I have a soft spot for old hardware. And a 10-12 year old machine is able to play 1080p video smoothly (unless it was a low-end machine at the time), which makes it fine for 90+ percent of my needs. Plus, these older machines can be obtaine

    It works differently in different countries. This is a German court, remember. I am German, but I am not a lawyer, so I am not what that means.

    This has got to be peak <something>. I don't know what exactly, but it's something. Self-inflicted torment and/or eccentric fountain of joy. Probably both. I cannot, for the life of me, see myself investing the time nee

    I would imagine with Wine the number of people interested to see Windows applications run under Linux/BSD/etc is significantly larger than with macOS/Darling.

    I vaguely recall reading about a project trying to achieve just that on HN a while back. Unfortunately, that is all I remember about it. Back then, it apparently was not quite there, yet, but that must have been at least five years ago, so

    As somebody who's terrified of speaking on front of a group, I liked that the presenter is visibly nervous but also having a good time giving her talk. Also, she does a great great job of explaining her steps in a way somebody who ha

    It's been a long time since I've done anything in C, but I tended to use -Werror -Wall -Wextra and then disable individual warnings/errors if I was sure they were false positives. It can be tedious, but I figured better safe

    As I recall it (not having payed close attention), it got a lot of attention because a lot of planets were discovered around that star, but I don't remember hearing or reading about them being in resonance.

    It works in that on my two tests, most of the artists that came up are known to me and very often present in my music library. I was kind of hoping to find stylistically similar music, but on second thought that would probably exponentially

    My understanding is you need to re-certify in some form upon changing anything about the code. I'm not sure if it's the same process each time or if you can do some kind of incremental re-certification for minor updates. Either

    It says it is written in Python. Wasn't bazaar written in Haskell or OCaml?
