I heard that someone determined a long-haired blonde wig to perform best in that regard.

Well, it certainly makes for some people saying that bikes should be heavy so as to be better at ramming into cars. I have mixed feelings about your attitude to say the least.

Your argument would be valid if they all exploded neatly when reaching 100% charge, not when there actually is "plenty of phones blowing up out of nowhere".

She shouldn't be feeling bad and wasting time on some of those interviews (unless she's really desperate for a job, which I hope isn't the case anymore). Early rudeness ought to be an instant no-go, things won't get bett

"CAP theorem" is a pretentious name for the idea that in the event of network partition you have to give up availability or consistency. Or both ;) And yes, I too keep forgetting this name but I could talk about the issue if they

OpenNTPD is an extremely easy to use time client that has been around for years. And considering systemd's vs OpenBSD's track record I suppose it's also less likely to get you owned or set your time to Jan 1st 1970 because of

You should have mentioned the official plan of a complete rewrite as a microkernel in message-passing dialect of Visual Basic, which was supposed to land in version 3.0. https://lkml.org/lkml/2005/3/2/247

Probably you are right, though in the case you linked the barrier was clearly insufficient. And OTOH, I have seen many cases where actually sane one-time contributors had to spend unreasonable time changing trivial patches to match the guid

Not sure. I have successfully submitted patches to Linux using Outlook and Exchange. All it took was going through configuration and disabling some features which intuitively looked like they may mangle my emails.

Have read it too, but the question was what's wrong with GPL3 that isn't wrong with GPL2. Am I again the only one to notice? :) I'll give you folks a hint: the specific quote dleslie responded to says that OpenBSD stuck wit

The question was what's OpenBSD's issue with GPL3, not LLVM's.

Would love to upvote if you started with "They" because it's exactly what happens.

The nails would turn lighter because even though Coke probably doesn't dissolve steel it certainly does dissolve rust. Phosphoric acid is used in some commercial rust removers and soldering fluxes for metals like steel, nickel or chrom

Exactly. I would happily read about some working 8bit port of Linux, but this thing here is just useless gimmick, compared to what it claims to be.

It's perfboard. Now, a SIMM soldered to breadboard, that would be something ;)

Fair enough. I wasn't aware that GCC actually supports this in C.

You are mostly right, but > There's no particular reason that segmented stacks (like old Go or old Rust had) couldn't be used in the kernel. A very good reason is that Linux happens to be written in C, which just doesn't s

In imperative you don't ask questions but give instructions. As long as the instructions are longer than the question (and they often are, even in your example ;)), you are bound to make more errors here. Plus, it requires some underst

Not necessarily. I have seen one crappy amplifier which picked up commercial radio broadcasts. Many audio devices pick up cellphones. All these signals probably are within spec.

If it's audible in headphones I suspect that the fix would involve soldering HF bypass capacitors at the inputs of the onboard headphone amplifier. Doable, but will the owner agree to this? Well... ;)

I bet your iOS also has some abstraction layer, I doubt you get to poke DAC chip registers directly from userspace. Superpowered Media Server is an abstraction layer too and so are desktop OS audio APIs. And yet, they don't suck as bad

Well, I'm dumb. Of course the firmware has to be embedded in the BIOS or the chip itself, because most machines with Realtek NICs support network booting. Firmware loading in OS drivers probably only delivers updates. So there is firmw
