Holy crap! "Brahms - Piano trio No 1 in B major" FINALLY. That's been more than half a year in my head, and me failing to figure out how to search for it. Proud of myself I nailed the key. Does this song have some roma

I just realized you're likely the same person who made a more recent and compact binary encoding, for algorithmic information theory/Chaitin's constant purposes!! I'm humbled, and have been a fan of the field for a long

1. <3 Thanks! This fact is now filed with the same neuron that fires for "wang tiles", "rule 110" and that new "hat" tile. 2. Does that simpler "A" combinator have a name, or something I can goo

I, too, am excited for CXL. Not enough people got to _feel_ the awesome of pmem. I think if more people had, pmem would be in all our laptops, desktops, servers.

Amen to that! This matches my lived experience. Every time I share a surprising or specific technical detail like that, inside I'm hoping, begging, someone will ask me how I know, so I can recall and share the tale of the months of

Enjoy!!!! I worked in music tech for a few startups starting in 2000, have written a few instruments (VSTs) and dabbled in making noise (some call it music). specialize in cutting edge dsp, but i just like applying it to PHAT SOUNDS. :D i

Ah, PFS. PFS is good :) Thanks for your response. (I was feigning a bit of ignorance, I'm a bit of a minor crypto nerd.) OK, cool, so WPA3 has PFS. But so does wireguard. When I opine "what's really the _point_ of WPA3? (an

What's WPA3 for? I don't think WPA2 was cracked... More useful would be knowing what combination of kit (linux router/AP as well as device) gets me robust high speed.

I love this line of thought, I've also entertained it from time to time in other domains. (macroecon :D) To some extent, yes, but you'd need more energy than is practical. Weather is a chaotic system -- future behavior can be hi

Ah, whew. Write only. I used to make use of the difference between clipboard and cut buffer, intentionally using them both, but for a long time now I just run autocutsel in the background which keeps them in sync -- makes it easier to cop

Ok, thanks. That matches my model of the world. You said "usually", are there any particular exceptions you have in mind?

I'm embarrassed that I'm confused enough (ignorance about how webpages and javascript modern things, etc work) to not answer this on my own, but does this mean: 1) Beware! any site you visit can, via javascript, inject whatever it

This is GREAT! I've been interested in this space for a long time, and a friend started a UAV company. I've got nothing much to say other than it feels GREAT to see someone else doing a project I've always wanted to do but

Nice job Barry!!!! I love it when I fall out of touch with friends for about a decade, then hear of them in headlines. Man, that was a fun party (2008).

Aren't you talking about cgroups? They "allow processes to be organized into hierarchical groups whose usage of various types of resources can then be limited and monitored." `man cgroups` and `man unshare`.

What's your primary area of experience? What are you best at, job wise (within tech)? Not what do you _want_ to do, but what can you most _consistently_ do? I'd suggest concentrating your efforts there. It does feel like the ma
