Yes and other things haven't been proven either... Its been shown by example, this distinction doesn't change the fact that money and productivity go hand in hand. Counter examples are counter examples and certainly they exist, bu

And still another step back to normality. Money speaks and as we get into 2022 we get back to normal in time for 2023... About 2 years too late but nothing needs essentiality than a good old economic depression.

just bureaucracy refusing to die as the tech moves on, nothing new I suppose...

Yeah have to agree there is always a vocal group of non devs who hate when they have to install a 3rd party compat library to run something from 10 years ago. To them this means it's broken when in reality this is bloat for the other 9

Seriously the title is like saying that x86 is the only processor for computing we need to embrase it... There are goods and bads to supporting the win32 abi/api with ALL of its quirks and bugs. But most of this (99%+) is trying to sup

About 2.5yr late for this I'm afraid, but very interesting reading. General rule of thumb from my experience though is that if the author is resorting to p values to justify their findings they're either a fool or an idiot, or bot

Unfortunately we've lost at least an entire generation of teachers who just want the "what is the answer so I can mark you and go home"... There is a difference between iliciting interest and explaing the process behind probl

I'd be much more worried if it wasn't for one key piece of data 'MacOS' I'm not sure I trust the Xnu kernel-space to be reporting properly. That being said I think enough others said it, buy proper hardware if you d

very similar to virtualenv by the sounds of it,, and doesn't really address things any more/less I would argue other than maybe snapshotting things which I'd argue isn't the same as understanding and testing. Although I

and again... WHO IS ISSUING IPv6 ONLY WITHOUT A 6<->4 NAT AT THE EDGE???
824.
by rob_c 5y ago
If this were taken to an extreme then nothing proprietary could run on this kernel. That is not the intent of the code authors in many cases and frankly the wording of GPLv2 being so vague here is as Linus has said part of it's strengt

Frankly, given the peering issues and lack of support from major peers it's not going to happen soon... And the mess that is v6 when things go wrong... I'm going to say it again. Private v6 and a powerful v6<->v4 NAT if you

by rob_c 5y ago
Do they go exclusively v6? Speaking as someone who maintains dual-stack production services, you'd be surprised how much extra work is involved for something which (frankly) should be a simple feature to enable.

Don't write code designed to burn CPU with numerical calculations. There is hyper optimisation and then there is the right tool for the job. The speed loss from doing mathS in an interpreter is huge and frankly usually not worth paying

Having worked in the field long enough, I always feel the need to add: A) If you're writing high-performance code DON'T you _will_ hit bottlenecks which are non-trivial to the language unless you're a guru. If you're a s

Chances are that given the cost quite a few are simply doing a basic sequence themselves (not a full strand) and selling on the data from this, which, whilst it sounds harmless is horribly unethical

He's not attacking the argument. He's attacking that the rest of the world isn't like America here, which, was kinda strongly emphasised in the post...

The question highlights rather well that there is no consistent logical reason for this attitude. Unfortunately it prevails very strongly at the moment. I agree that the company should be sued into oblivion. And I think should this be say o

And guess who will be justifying the slap on the wrist fines because "emergency" and giving them effective clean slate moving forward.

Probably not, the interest follows public outrage which wasn't there in 2021 because how dare you speak the word "endemic"...

Yep. The most prolific conspiracies have always had an unfortunate nugget of truth behind them. "They're using it to track us". Or "Its to make a database to remove our freedoms" claims don't looks crazy at fir

Yep, have to agree completely. Support around the XPS is lacking when there is a hardware defect. I've even pointed out one with the bios which Dell wouldn't acknowledge or fix as my 9360 was way out of warranty by the time I&#x27
