The book I mentioned is about languages and their spread through history, not religion.

would you recommend a more recent book comparable to "Empires of the Word" by Nicholas Ostler on the subject of languages ? I am really enjoying the book, but it's over 20 years old at this point. I wonder how much of the i

Equivalent in Windows is Registered I/O (RIO) for sockets. Windows network development is really, really different from Unixy stuff. But you might have fun :)

Seems plausible since FIN only means “I’m done sending” also called a “half close”. FTP has different data and command connections so the server may not have an outstanding read to detect the data connection break. But.. it should still cle

During the recent shutdown, SFO was one of the airports with no TSA backlogs because they weren't dependent on the DHS funds in question.

I don't know much about the Google Vision API that it claims to use, but uploading the same passport photo of mine twice produced wildly different results in the "data" tab. There are fields like interests, income, biases&#x2

Also, a vertical mouse works wonders for similar mouse-related tendon issues.

It’s the Java version of the game, not a game version of Java. There’s a native version called bedrock

Amazing! 100% accurate roast for me.

TFA is checking those via imports, not copied DLLs. I suppose they could LoadLibrary/GetProcAddress at runtime, but that'd be a lot of effort for obfuscation.

Source or country of origin would be nice. “Opposition leader Aquino” in article without any other context could be confusing

This genius probably doesn't use Windows as his daily driver so of course he's not bothered by it.

It is a lot like the Division's DZ. Less toxicity out of the gate, but we'll see how that goes as time passes. They should've taken the "rogue" mechanic from that game. Arc Raiders is a ton of fun though. Also reco

Few people have phone landlines anymore in India, but wired broadband to the home is not uncommon. It would be annoying to not then be able to have a home WiFi 6G router. Mobile data is cheap, but broadband is much cheaper.

They rewrote Explorer for Windows 11, in the process fucking it up completely. There is a regkey to go back to the Windows 10 explorer, but you'd have to google that.

"\\server\share" is called a UNC path, which can be served by SMB, WebDAV or another type of server. (old ref, but the architecture hasn't changed AFAIK) Ref: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-ve

In TFA it could be as simple as trying to differentiate between fully "blind" people vs people with MACD (or other severe visual impairments as indicated at the end) i.e, people with a condition that leads to blindness, full or pa

TFA actually refers to "other spherical cows", not just FP. Doesn't makes any point very coherently, but it's not exclusively about FP though that gets mentioned a lot.

Fascinating. Pricing, if I am reading the site correctly: $7k-ish for a server (+$ for local disks, one assumes), $2-5k per client. So you download the movie locally to your server and play it on clients scattered throughout your mansion&#

From comments in the blog post >This is not a goal. Module files are essentially better PCH, they are not meant to be a stable artifact. Consumers compile the module files from the library's interface files as needed. That's no

aren't you then equating taste with popularity ? not sure if that's a popular opinion. In which case it would be tasteless.

very cool ! On my dell XPS13 (Windows) the high DPI scaling makes the page display "please rotate your device back to portrait mode" . If I zoom out a few steps (ctrl-minus in the browser), it loads fine.

Also Incredibuild. The free version is probably good enough to visualize your build and see any bottlenecks.

You are talking about the "Double Irish", which was scotched (sorry) in 2020 by Ireland. The link under your quoted line in the TFA seems to be talking about Apple (and others) preparing for the end of the Double Irish by finding

Move to the cloud they said. It will be more secure then your intranet they said. Only fools pay for their own Ops team they said. I’m so old and dumb that I don’t even understand why an app for internal Microsoft use is even accesible from

hmm, you're right. You're probably talking about David Treadwell, who was at MSFT until 2016-ish. I was thinking of another member on the original Winsock team who left in the 90s.

I think you are misreading my reaction. All I'm saying is that TFA's not a study but some guy's opinion. But, as I said if it encourages healthy behavior, that's great.

That's just, like, your opinion man. (i.e., it's not some scientific study) Although I do agree that if it encourages the yutes to get outside and socialize that seems like a win. [insert obligatory old man grumble about sidewalk
