If you look beyond the grading via weird reference letter language, these letters contain usually one important thing: what you actually did. Not what your job description said, but your actual daily doings and responsibilities. That is the

As others have noted, there are interim letters that you can request without reason at any time. But, there are also events that allow you to request them due to that event. For example if your team lead switches jobs, you can request an in

Towards the end of the article in the table overview, they list a `NVIDIA GP100` model with a memory bus width of 4096 bit. It is still shared memory, but considering bcrypt only requires a 4k memory working set, that now fits into 8 cycles

That VirtIORNG documentation page is really sad though, with all the warnings and quirks about the guest starving the host of entropy. The source end of that device should be fed by something like fortuna, or attach directly to urandom if a

Well, both evidence planting as well as using parallel construction to fabricate an intricate web of lies to present to courts as the origin of some piece of evidence are already normal. Just combine them, and simply lie about false evidenc

I always find it amusing that in any 'clang compiles faster, gcc provides better binaries' discussion there are always immediately people chiming in that this is based on old data from gcc 4.9. But clang supposedly hasn't im

This confuses me. The title says it's an alternative, but the text says it does not intend to solve all problems of industry-grade languages. Which to me reads as Qbe being entirely differently scoped, and therefor not an alternative.

What they do know is that this would break tech companies. Tech companies with a lot of cash, but comparatively very little spending on political fundraising. Nudge nudge.

Initial Linux64 support landed in FreeBSD11 on 2015-05-24. The code freeze for the 10.2 release started on 2015-07-03. Those 5'ish weeks was simply not enough time to get such a major addition sufficiently settled down for inclusion in

In terms of tool/system integration FreeBSD's ZFS is miles ahead of ZFSoL and this is unlikely to ever change. FreeBSD has its own userland that does not need to run anywhere else; updating it to integrate new kernel capabilities

I think the encrypted ZFS installer bits were upstreamed by PCBSD which is ZFS-only; so it would make sense for them not to implement the UFS version. Apart from that, probably nobody needed it bad enough to sit down and write it so far.
