Almost every single government organization uses it to publish their official documents. Lots of major corporations too. As much of a monopoly as Chrome is, if they actually try to remove it they're likely to get a bunch of government

Ironically, I've replied to several people using physical thumbs up/down recently. This can be caused by several variations on voice not being viable at the moment: * sore throat * eating * having another conversation * context de

Even disregarding the other comment, not necessarily. For anything but 1-vs-1, individual skill gets smeared into the non-enemy (ally for team games, or everyone for a free-for-all) average. Remember that cooperation isn't an individua

Don't forget the greatest enemy of both abusive companies and abusive government: the news media. And this definitely seems big enough for them. See if you can "shop" around (start local) to see who's interested in publi

The entire reason people choose "permissive licenses" is so that it won't last forever. At best, the community can fork the old version without any future features. Only viral licenses are forever.

Note: the underlying blame here fundamentally belongs to whoever built AGP / Gradle with non-universal flags, then distributed it. It's fine to ship binaries with hard-coded cpu flag requirements if you control the universe, but

Well, prior to this release I would have said "there is no point", but it looks like Hurd has finally gotten rid of some of the major warts I remember when I first took at look at it over a decade ago. A lot of software fails to

It's called context. The beginning of the chapter is Elijah (Elisha's master) being removed from Earth and going up (using the exact same Hebrew word) to Heaven. Considering that the thugs are clearly not pious people, "remov

Historically there were a lot of CMS's with very small character limits. I remember a war between my high school teachers trying to make their pages work, and the IT department trying to ban all URL shorteners categorically (which ad

The "bears" story reads a lot more sensibly if you translated it correctly as "a gang of thugs tries to bully Elisha into killing himself." Still reliant on the supernatural, but what do you expect from such a book?

Also the fact that pre-SP2, Windows XP actually crashed (and permanently broke in "interesting" ways) more than Windows 98 in practice, theory be damned. I became so familiar with how to install Windows during this time ... Ye

One additional thing that article fails to mention: you should not test your device in a context where it can cool itself easily. Test on your devices when they are wrapped in a blanket, and while there's another program using 100% CPU

It's not a matter of what the modems were capable of, it's a matter of what the phone line would and could actually carry. Maybe it would be different in a big city, but I don't think I ever saw anybody get over 33.6 before

It was very common to be limited to a significantly lower speed. Wikipedia sucks, so I dug up the actual v.34 standard: 33.6 kbit/s (a later addition) 31.2 kbit/s (a later addition) 28.8 kbit/s (the theoretical maximu

On Linux, that's exactly what `memfd` seals are for. That said, even without seals, it's often possible to guarantee that you only read the memory once; in this case, even if the memory is technically mutating after you start, it

I'm just waiting for the hype-cycle to end. AI might revolutionize some industry (probably natural-language-adjacent), but not ours. COBOL has already been attempted, and far more competently (and with less energy cost). If people ca

That would be "try, and". Although the default rule for conjunctions joining predicates is that the comma is optional (by contrast, in most other contexts it is either mandatory or forbidden), there are a lot of circumstances wh

That sounds concerning, especially since Debian had hard-coded (!) a tiny /boot partition for encrypted disks for a long time. This already caused problems quite frequently (you have to manually delete them quite frequently, and which

It's always better - the increase in indexing complexity is negligible, and it completely eliminates resizing of the top-level array. It also reduces the number of calls to `malloc` while keeping capacity proportional to active size.

That's fine if you only ever add, but is likely to fail if you pop FIFO-style. This too is ultimately fixable but means we can no longer assume "every bucket size doubles". That said, IMO "stable pointers" is overra

Can we really call it an array if it's not contiguous (or at least strided)? Only a small fraction of APIs take an `iovec, iovcnt`-equivalent ...

First, note that this complexity is actually worse for highly dense graphs, where `m` (number of edges) dominates rather than `n` (number of nodes) [note that a useful graph always has `m > n`, and often `m <= 2 d n`, where `d` is

Well, I would have suggested an experiment, but if we're still at the "idiot" phase that might be a bit premature. Instead, I'll offer some general questions that can be answered without experiments, only research. For e

A believer might say there's no difference at all: "just because there's not enough proof that you will accept doesn't mean there's no evidence." Though I'd actually use a different definition still:
