You could save the page, paste the following into a file and run "perl file savedpage.html > fixedpage.html" and open that instead. I'm sure a Javascript programmer would come up with some better solution instead?... l

Calling the interrupt routine to play a sound sample used the stack, hence wrote register contents (and return addresses upon subroutine calls within the handlers) onto the tile target. No problem, as while the interrupt routine was running

I still remember a hack that I figured out on the Commodore 128 to speed up the 80 column display. I'm not aware of any program that actually made use of it (probably because the C128 and its 80 column display did not have a big enough

I don't get why everybody talks about Verisign or others giving them "keys". The NSA just need certificates for their own key, right? The only private key that Verisign could give them would be their signing key, which seem

For those not from NZ and wondering like me what the "GCSB Bill" is: GCSB is the Government Communications Security Bureau of New Zealand[1]. There seem to be two bills[2], and the topic has been on HN several times, but never got

The sshuttle docs explicitely mention that it doesn't do TCP over TCP (rather as I understand, it's a transparent TCP proxy). I wonder how it handles UDP, my main interest in a VPN is for VoIP (SIP); I guess turning UDP into TCP still won't

I've written a script[1] to do the setup for me, using preshared keys transparently. I'm sometimes running into an issue where the UDP packets stop reaching the server, but that may be my ISP. [1] https://github.com/pflanze/openvpn-tunnel-

I think you mean the pronunciation; it is basically the same as how some Germans say it (or sometimes? actually I don't know whether it's regionally or what, as I'm from Switzerland where you don't hear it pronounced that way).

I'd expect it to be easier with a jet engine than propellers? Just use a steel cable net. Speaking of which, maybe if you use a close-mesh metallic net (maybe in addition to a coarse one for trapping), you'd break its uplink without any nee

Regarding the pthread_mutex_lock code you posted: I'd say this shows that in the non-contention case there is no kernel call involved, assuming the used mutexes are of kind PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL; atomic_exchange is likely entirely in user sp

I don't see any code for indexing, which should answer the performance question. Which I don't mean to be derogative, he mentions "A flat-file relational database engine implementation" in every file, and it looks like it may be neat code t

The idea behind Wikipedia is to be made by users. With our time, and our money. It's good to know that it doesn't just run with content from other users like me (and mine), but also their money (and mine).

Any reason why not to implement call/cc and then write fibers in terms of call/cc? The implementation may not actually be any different from what it is. (I've not studied the code enough to understand how it implements fibers, although I go
