My guess the problem being solved is how to get acquired by a big Linux vendor.

Which is exactly why you should leave it to the distros to construct a consistent build environment. If your distro regularly gets this wrong then you do have a problem.

If this is a concern (which it rarely is) then you can pitch in with distro packaging. Volunteers are always welcome. > "But you can use 3rd party repositories!" That's not something I said.

Assuming that your distro is, say, Debian, then you'll know the answer to that is always libssl-dev, and if you cannot find it then there's a handy search tool (both CLI and web page: https://packages.debian.org ) to he

I hate autotools, but I have stockholm syndrome so I still use it.

Please don't. C packaging in distros is working fine and doesn't need to turn into crap like the other language-specific package managers. If you don't know how to use pkgconf then that's your problem.

Are you saying we cannot talk about the bad things the US has done?

There's so many ways to do this, but a simpler method is to hide a small logic block (somewhere in the 10 billion transistors of your CPU) that detects a specific, long sequence of bits and invokes the kill switch.

The author should really upload these to the Internet Archive. The emulator (which seems like it's for DOS) seems a strange thing to include on the disc: ><fs> file /ddman.exe MS-DOS executable, MZ for MS-DOS

Can confirm the bit about phone sockets. Our old house came with a phone socket by the bed in both bedrooms. Also a TV aerial socket in the master bedroom (not in the second bedroom though, no TV for you!)

The journal name ("Management Science") is a bit of a giveaway too.

If the document was some standard thing, like say a standard tax form that every CZ resident needs, then I'd absolutely use Google Translate / AI translation on it. The assumption is that there's no specific trick or catch i

Douglas Adams's prediction seems more apposite: "Meanwhile, the poor Babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different races and cultures, has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in

To be fair this comment predates git history (before 2005) when GCC wasn't a very good compiler. The kernel developers at one point were sticking with a specific version of GCC because later versions would miscompile the kernel. Clan

Are they? I would have thought that Russia's oil exports to countries that are ignoring/bypassing sanctions are far more valuable to them.

Is there any point to a country having gold reserves? What is it being kept for? (Genuine questions, looking for factual answers)

Nice little project. Back in day, magazines distributed software on flexidisc ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexi_disc ) I remember it being very unreliable. The magazine instructed you to copy the flexidisc to a cas

The interesting bit was scheduled removed of RTMP. I understand the protocol is still pretty widely used, even if it's probably not being used via curl, but using tools like rtmpdump.

I think "in a VM" was elided. It's easy to tune qemu + Linux to boot up a VM in 150ms (or much less in fact). Real hardware is unfortunately limited by the time it takes to initialize firmware, some of which could be solvab

I'm surprised Daniel didn't use valgrind's massif tool for this. It's a really brilliant way to visualise what heap structures are using memory in C programs. https://valgrind.org/docs/manual/m
