Bleeding edge or complete fantasy? This is going to be very very expensive and guess who’s going to be paying for it?

I mean sure, making papers by underrepresented groups open access to increase their reach is actually a nice idea. Not sure what this has to do with sci-hub though, publishers are not going to fund sci-hub in the same way that the RIAA is n

I’m a bit out of date on FreeBSD land but tbh probably both. It references FreeBSD 11 not being out yet so the article is several years old. FreeBSD does tend to lag behind a bit when it comes to WiFi support though so it wouldn’t surprise

Yeah, maybe you're right. I actually had this conversation with my PM the other day - I work on a fairly well known database. They were asking us to improve the startup time of the product.

AFAIK, Canonical are just hoping nobody sues them. I use Zfs as my boot file system on FreeBSD and Arch Linux and both work great. Linux was a bit of a faff to set up though, FreeBSD was easy.

I wouldn’t consider reboot time to be a massive selling point for a database server though. Surely you don’t want to be doing that very often?

If I store the decryption key to some blu-ray on chain, presumably that makes the chain illegal in the USA?

They’re good at scoreboards though. Although the Wimbledon one did break down during Isner vs Mahut.

Self driving cars are just that, marketing. Tesla for all their hype have limited driver assist only and even Google who seem to have the most advanced offering only works in limited areas in good conditions and the dataset that drives it r

Did anyone miss wave? I found it to be a solution looking for a problem, which it eventually found in gsuite which is successful.

Code is law right? And the code (that they wrote) says it’s okay so it’s okay. Cryptobro logic.

Raptor CS are still making those Power9 workstations I think. Power9 is also a free architecture “without that shit”.

Maybe someone can invent a cheese tasting accessory for phones. Not sure if I want to share my cheese with my phone though.

Indeed, as soon as you get into “I don’t use that so why should I pay for it”, you’re being consumer and not a taxpayer.

Sure, HTTP 1.1 was a clear improvement over 1.0.

by mnd999 5y ago
Still not massively convinced HTTP needed to progress beyond 1.1. I’m sure someone at Google got a promotion out of it though.

Me too. Anyone know how to root an old Panasonic plasma?

Maybe. Or you just up the stakes and now you have thieves with automatic weapons having a gunfight with the train guards.

Handing over your bank username and password to anyone would be a breach of the banks terms. So no, never do this.

If it’s his project, as far as I’m concerned he’s within his rights deciding to make it do something different to what it did before, even if that is malicious. There is precedent for this with Chrome addon devs selling their addons to malw

It’s tolerated because it was forced upon people by distros. I don’t know anybody who likes it, and I would happily rip it out if it wasn’t so much work to do so.

Not really sure why the submitter wants to bring up an unfortunate thread from ten years ago which nobody comes out of particularly well. Just let it be water under the bridge.

Sure, but 68ks (and Amigas) are pretty well emulated these days, it wouldn’t be that hard. Sure what you have then is an Amiga emulator that boots strait into AMOS but I think that’s fine as it would be a great beginner environment.
