Conditioning does not equal "habit". You can train a lot of things to the level of muscle memory (like I always check seat belts before moving and avoid taking them off, or how I mentally recall coordinated turns even when turning

Actually the real issue for the humans was that it would mean possible reduction in employment which is why we had union block deployment for a time until a deal was brokered. It helps, as you can suspect from "union" comment, tha

As far as I know, the memory controller IP on the die, as in the part actually interacting with DDR3 channels, didn't change much over that time. And not including support for bigger ranks probably saved some amount of circuitry or all

It's not transparent on Wayland or Windows (no idea about mac) either if you want actually properly drawn stuff. Well, ok, on Windows if you keep to certain standard elements of Windows API and only use standard widgets you could get c

Yes, the default windows search boxes utilized indexing service if it was enabled. Windows 2000 also shipped with a ton of IFilter modules to enable indexing of various files. It was also first shipped for indexing IIS, but originally was

A lot of concepts from BeOS survive in Android, to the point that some APIs look pretty much identical at low level.

Windows Indexing Service was bundled by default with Windows 2000 and integrated in search interface (it was available before as option for NT 4.0). The main difference is that it was way less known, and early on it required considerable ti

Quite doable with kubernetes - honestly, the main issue there is storage, because distributed storage is inherently complex topic that you need to tackle separately, even if you run on top of k8s. However, if you can simplify your setup by

Which is why you often had to wait weeks for any change. Hell, in some places, Ops are pushing k8s partially because it makes DNS and TLS something that can be easily and reliably provided in minimal amount of time, so you (as a dev) don&

That's an EKS problem, not a k8s problem. K8s will happily let you run a pod with host network, and even the original "kubenet" network implementation allowed directly calling pods if your network wasn't more damaged tha

The secret is to not manually edit YAML, ever. It's the "make break glass situation little easier" option, not the main mechanism. Use a programming language, a dedicated DSL, hell a custom process involving CI/CD that g

A lot of problems was simply a fight with device makers and shit drivers, to be quite honest. Windows 7 benefited from coming later with Vista being the battleground in which vendors were forced to update to NT6.0 models.
652.
by p_l 1y ago
Vista was dogged by issues caused by migrating display drivers from NTDDM to WDDM 1.0, something that was only finished by 7 (which dropped NTDDM fully and introduced WDDM 1.1) and 8 (which afaik had mandated WDDM 1.1 only). Unlike previous

It's more a reference to "sola scriptura" and the dismissal of scientific thought related to it. Similar movement happened, with way more success, in Islamic world AFAIK. And yes, protestants were actually going more apeshit

It's possible that what is actually going is that the Windows 95 serves as "bootloader" for something like VxWorks - KUKA robots with KRC-1 controllers do something similar.
