Very nice. The fact that the TCP stack isn't in-kernel isn't all that necessary either. You can perform the same abstraction for an in-kernel stack as for an in-application stack, though it can often be harder to disentangle a s

He is stating intent to do a specific thing on a specific day in the very near future (tomorrow) without precondition or contingency on outcome of any other events. This is not even remotely the same thing as "if I am elected I will..

Indeed. The water would be even colder. After 80 minutes, though, how much difference is there? Still some, I'm sure, but water is really good at conducting heat.

Perhaps it's a sampling bias - a slow change that started recently may not yet have been detected to be included on the graph (or may not have enough reliable data to support inclusion).

I don't disagree with anything you've said, and I don't think I really have any significant difference of opinion on the matter as a whole either. I'm just pointing out what seems to be an unfortunate hole they've

With the present level of trust in the U.S. government, especially with respect to "cyber" behaviors, it seems ill-advised to publicly announce an intention to retaliate based on "trust us, we have proof it's them but we

I completely agree, but is it really the point being argued? Perhaps the issue is not that there are bubbles at all, but that where there were previously larger bubbles shared by multiple people, there now tends to be one bubble per person

On the other hand, as someone who also believes speed limits are too low, I sometimes wish they _were_ enforced to draconian extremes because then the 95% of drivers who just ignore the law instead of trying to change it might actually get

In general, though, a proportional face will give a larger number of possible widths, meaning more information to work with (fewer possible strings will map to any particular width). Additionally, depending on the type of information you ar

I had to delete the "Type a word here" placeholder text to get it to pick something for me (using Safari). I almost certainly would've given up and assumed it was a required input if you hadn't hinted that it can be mad

I'm of the same opinion as paperwork. I can't speak for him/her, but for myself the reason is not that I can't get the software I need (Console2 and mintty suit me fine) but because the quality of the tools provided wit

I can add another anecdote. In almost 10 years now of using Haskell on Mac, Linux and Windows, I've never once had any success building any GUI binding for Mac OS, despite trying every one I could find (gtkhs included) at least once a

I, on the other hand, would rather they be ads for things I _don't_ want, so that I'm not tempted to spend money on crap I don't need but have been manipulated into wanting more than I already do.

Is seL4 open-source? Last time I looked, it wasn't.

This is the key point. The things she is being called out on are things that actually relate to her trustworthiness in the position she has entered, and as a cloud service provider trust should be very important to Dropbox.

I like that, and hope to encourage the same in my kids (currently too young to "get it"). If you're making the same mistakes as everyone else, you're not learning by example. If you're not making mistakes at all,

That was my first reaction too. After thinking and discussing it with some non-technical people, though, I realize it's not a contradiction unless you also assume some physics knowledge. I (and probably you) have so deeply digested t

I wonder what would happen if "None of the above" were given a large number of write-ins in a US election. Would they be considered spoilt since there's no such person?

It is not clear from that article how one is to distinguish intentional non-voting from apathy. It seems to me that if one wishes to make a statement of their non-vote, they need to go to the poll and submit a blank ballot, not just stay h

The difference between catching types at runtime or compile time is much less important than the common feature of catching type errors at all. A runtime type error in C simply trashes another subsystem's data. A runtime type error i

Perhaps they're taking a calculated risk that the government wouldn't risk picking that public-opinion fight. Not many consumers care about the LavaBit story, but "Apple exec arrested for violating secret gag order" wou
