Here is the actual single C-code file: https://sqlite.org/althttpd/file?name=althttpd.c Something I absolutely love about text based protocols such as HTTP/1 is how easy you can implement it in any virtually progr

Your cache-key idea infiltrates the overall idea with third-party access. As a site owner who wants to place Ads I just use your script notation to include the ad and then leak data again...

Your test doesn't work because as a sender, your mail program stores the mail including the BCC field. You need at least some other email adress in order to learn by experimenting hwo BCC works :-)

Fortran exists, and it is no more your grandfather's Fortran. It's possible to improve old programming languages and invent new ones at the same time :-)

Despite Pyolite has a miserable performance (20MB of downloads), the overall project direction is correct. I said this already 10 years ago: We don't need more cloud computing but need to empower users end devices again. Jupyter is typ

Vintage radios have a weird time these days because the people (typically: men) who used to have experienced them as young child's are dying. As a consequence, prices are dropping and massive amounts of radios are trashed. Why? Because

And this is how LISP is invented. Any sufficiently complicated program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Common Lisp. (Greenspun's tenth rule)

Immediate mode GUIs seem to be some "fresh wind" to desktop GUI toolkits. Apparently they are heavily motivated by gaming and 3D focussed applications. I wonder whether they are also play a role in traditional desktops. The Gio ki

So what again is the difference for instance against testing scientific codes on a "data-level"? For instance the way how the popular scipy/numpy python packages are tested: https://numpy.org/doc/stable&#

Are you aware of pure-JS in-browser VNC protocol implementations such as http://guacamole.apache.org/ ? This works over websockets, so even encryption is covered. On the server side, run a Xvnc, fullscreen chrome without wi

The paradigm reminds me of the message passing paradigm in "early days" object oriented programming languages such as Smalltalk. I guess remote procedure calling (RPC) and message brokers (COM and friends) is the 90s or 2000s ve

Apparently you don't live in a country with a good long-distance public transport or long distance highspeed train network. Before covid, I regularly spent a few hours a week in a 300km/h ICE train in Germany. Nowadays, I spend si

There is a perfectly modern Debian distribution available as 32bit. I put this on a 12 years old computer. Yes, that's not 20 years old, but the architecture is largely the same. GNU userspace as well as the Linux kernels have not ab

So here's a thing: I recently talked to the head of a new mathematics "excellence cluster" at a big German university. His opinion was that AI is a fundamental new approach to solving differential equations -- in contrast to

Yes, virsh is really a nice tool to work with. It has multiple times saved my ass when the graphical virt-manager refused to work (for whatever X11-reason).

Oh god, I can remember that time! My journey was basicall from Win95 to Win2k to Gentoo Linux. An "emerge world" or so just updated the whole system. And then I tried WinXP and could not believe the way their system updater worked

I find the trinity of Matlab, Fortran and Julia quite interesting. They all have a similar syntax and I guess Julia can grab quite some people from the other two ecosystems. Clasically, scientists used Matlab for prototyping and Fortran for

Jokes aside, I never have seen lecturers to make such beauty on whiteboards. There is an old religious war of blackboards vs. whiteboards, and somehow the whiteboard has won and lost at the same time.

I have worked in HPC (academia) where the cluster storage size is measured in multiples of PB since a decade. Since latency and bandwidth is a killer requirement there, Infiniband (instead of Ethernet) is the defacto standard for connecting

I love that the UI can be explored by the user, since it shows available keyboard shortcuts. This is something where GNU screen or tmux suck, because you really have to lookup how to operate these tools. In some manual or with google.

I agree with the system library, and this should be standard. A system library and a system daemon are two different concepts, thought. HTML engines as shared libraries were common in the past (thinking of KHTML or mshtml.dll) and still are

Interesting idea, but what would be the advantage of having, for instance, the javascript engine running as a system daemon? This reminds me of Windows Script Host, which was some similar idea but didn't make it. What we see instead ar

USB had a quite successful precursor: RS-232. The serial standard is now 60 years old (!) and still much more widespread then USB in many industry machines.
