I had the same experience. After an Ubuntu update, my workstation was suddenly not able to mount an NFS filesystem from FreeBSD when Kerberos was enabled. The bug was rather quickly marked as confirmed, with absolutely no updates for severa

I'd expect most people who use software like this to be using things like Qubes OS anyway?

Emacs has finally gotten rid of unexec. It's replaced by the portable dumper which which essentially serialised the state of the application using its own format.

I don't know about cities, they're usually not the ones running the taxis. But taxi companies most definitely have mobile applications. In Singapore, the largest taxi company has an application that's much better than Grab. I

I have to say that that sounds like a solution no user would actually want. You effectively did answer all of GP's questions with no.

Few people compared to Twitter, sure, but not as much as you muggy think. When I ask around in my circles, which is a typical mic of tech and non-tech people, very few have ever used Twitter. The ones who did are all tech people. Sure, a lo

It's not. IDEA is fully Java. Eclipse, however uses SWT as its graphics system, which uses native code.

I'd say the weirdness is still there. There is probably even more weirdness than in the old days, but these days it's dwarfed by the boring stuff. Remember that weird stuff is only weird when you have something boring to compare i

One can have valid criticisms of Java, the language. But there is no disagreement that the JVM is very good in terms of performance.

Vain seems like an appropriate word to use, when interpretated as "producing no result; useless" That is, after all, the end result of many of Google's attempts at dominating a space. Their love of shutting services down will

Are they though? I'm honestly curious as to what those things could be. A lot of people talk about good uses of blockchains, but all examples I've seen are either not actually good uses, or they have some flaw that makes practical

My home network consisted of two subnets, and even in such a simple configuration I was never able to get Chromecast working, which also uses mdns. Mdns proxy would have been the solution, but I was never able to get it to work. It seemed t

It's a combination of both. They have tools that help worth the trajectory calculations, but they have to manually decide on the basic layout of the path to take. There is a very interesting interview with Pablo Munoz from the Bepi Col

I don't know much about US geography but isn't that a much cooler area? In any case, I doubt the community was self sufficient. I'm suspecting that much if not all consumables were actually produced outside the desert.

My point is that no one has even started that effort here on earth. How about proving that we can provide that quality of life in the deserts of earth before we do it on another planet?

There are lots of deserts on earth that is pretty much uninhabited. If you are concerned about room for people, you can relax until these places are full as well. Even the most inhospitable parts of the Sahara desert is much more hospitable

You mean just like how the messaging "strategy" that gave us Allo also created Duo? Because adding just one new messaging application was not enough. They had to split messaging into two. Is Duo also being shut down?

How would it ever stabilise? There is a hard limit to the number of coins issued, and unless the market is static, the value of bitcoin has to go up. I haven't seen a good explanation to that problem.

If you look at a country like Sweden, which is pretty much cashless, we can see that electronic micropayments are indeed transforming a society, but it can also be shown that this is actually not an ideal situation. There was an article on

When was this paper published? There is no date on the paper itself, and different sites gives different dates. I'm wondering because it incorrectly states that Unicode is a 16-bit code, which used to be a common misconception in the 9

That is true too. But it's slightly different from the case of Euler who just invented so many things. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_things_named_after_L...

Don't they say that mathematical concepts from Eulers era are named after the second person to use them?

The Magnus effect is pretty cool. I firs came across it when watching this video which shows how effective it is by dropping a ball from a height while spinning it. https://youtu.be/QtP_bh2lMXc

If you go to the page, you'll notice that they are not displaying a popup. Instead, they have recreated the entire UI experience, and if you're on Windows the only way to tell that something fishy is going on is if you try to move

The answer is no. Gödel's incompleteness theorem is interesting here as it states that within a given axiomatic system, there are facts that are true but not provable within that same axiomatic system. Another way to think about it is

I was working for Sun during those days. They used to have this vision that everything would be written in Java. They threw everything at that wall, and ran with the ones that stuck. I've been in presentations showing all kinds of thin

You choose those names when you add the device. It can be anything. That said, it would probably be good if they added a note saying that the device name you choose is public, which is not really clear in the current UI.
