At least on 68k, the behavior is defined. http://www.tigernt.com/onlineDoc/68000.pdf I suppose the point is the behavior undefined in C/C++, so you have to look at the chip level doc to see...or test it yourself.

You'd need to go through the legal process ie: get a court to issue a subpoena to Chase to get to the other bank, then to the other bank to get the customer info, then you sue the other customer. I'm not sure if it would be you or

One issue is the lack of domain expertise. To really understand a problem you need to be a domain expert. Young people, who are a large part of the tech world, don't really have a lot of that. You can also learn what problems are worth

One of the things that's talked about in "the dawn of everything" is the large number of what seem to be extremely egalitarian societies...ones that spanned large areas. And that social groups form and get their values/n

The problem is prevention is worth less than the cure. Attia talks about it in his book - the heroes of medicine are the ones that operate and save people, not the ones that ensure that people never get to that poont/

Medicine in the US has become a game of billing for the most number of procedures possible. For those doctors that don't want to play, well, they go concierge. In primary care especially the fees are low, and to be any good you need to

PDF is pretty much a symbolic representation of what needs to be printed out. It's symbolic so it can get rasterized onto whatever device in question, in a way that should be as accurate as possible to a print version. That's the

The original goal of PDF was to have a portable print fidelity copy; WYSIWYG for real. You could take a PDF file and print it on a laser printer, a linotype, or a screen and it would look the same. If you printed it on a postscript printer

Been using them for my no-traffic sites for years. I always think about moving to a free tier of something, but meh because i'll have to move once the tier is done. They've been rock solid for decades.

As a note, information you learn from one place doesn't really apply to another (ie: it's non fungible haha). In Oregon someone from the old country went foraging and died because a fungus here (poisonous) looked like a fungus the

CORBA was a total piece of shit back in the day. Nobody in their right mind would chose it for anything today except as example of "don't do this when you're designing and implementing something." It's an over engin

One interesting takeaway was his note about influence at the end. Nuns and their ilk could have a tremendous impact back in the day...informally speaking. And there's no documentation. Influence != authority. But with authority alone y

A long time ago there was a Sci-Fi story about the first humans crash-landing in Africa and fighting for survival among the hominids. I think the number of people on that ship was about 2k.

Feinstein apparently had no idea that she was out of the Senate for medical reasons for months. I wouldn't be surprised if she's in the first class cabin of the dementia train. Maybe she should have been taking her meds.

Soon people will be talking about Swedish exceptionalism. The fact is, COViD is a problem for those at high risk, and those risk factors were well known in the early days. One response could have been to make just that subset take precautio

Terraform will do this. It's just like a command line, but for your environment.

The real question is: what sanctions are available if it’s shown that the cops broke the law, either by providing false information for the warrant or by breaking some other law? Without penalties ‘accountability’ becomes harder. At least t

Everyone uses the same backend(s). For GSM carriers, esims add a layer of complexity because they are apparently bound to a phone. As you probably know, SIM cards can generally be swapped in. This makes provisioning more complicated, becaus

If you don't like undefined behavior then avoid it. It's not hard, unless you're not paying attention.

Note that the Supremes recently ruled that commercial use isn't necessarily a gate to fair use. I'm not thinking about the Warhol case. Maybe it was the Oracle/Java case? Also, there are some odd fair use things, like the goo

"Actually, RARP worked quite fine and did the same thing as bootp and DHCP while being much simpler, but we don't talk about that." RARP is basically dhcp but only for your IP address. DHCP/bootp won because you sort of

GraphQL makes front end work easier because FE folks can't seem to handle the complexity involved in making multiple calls to a backend. GraphQL moves that complexity somewhere else (ie: the backend). From a BE POV GraphQL makes things

I've migrated stuff away from AWS. It's not hard, and AWS doesn't make it hard to do. Egress costs are where AWS makes money. You can get around that by negotiating lower cloudfront costs then basically exfiltrating your data

Also, given its velocity, 'strike back' is totally the wrong phrase. 'Strike back' implies speed and/or alacrity, neither of which gnu/hurd possesses in any appreciable quantity.

In the commercial world the first release a new OS with GUI only takes about 4 years, depending. Hurd has exceeded that by a huge margin.
