"Unix" OSes in my experience simply don't (universally) have a way to "open this file in the correct application". It's a foreign concept. Files are just sequences of bytes, and file paths are just addresses to

This is true, but I believe that the majority of users on "normal" dating sites are looking for single, long-term partners. As I understand, within the BDSM scene there are several websites including social networking sites and de

Doesn't Ctrl+Alt+Delete still serve this function pretty well on Windows? I'm not sure how impossible it is to block/bypass, but it seems to almost always work despite input capturing.

Like someone mentioned in another thread (edit: and another reply written while I typed this), LEGO the company cares about this for trademark reasons -- they don't want the word to become generic and lose trademark protections. In the

Well, he said to "not be too eager". I don't believe there were many instances of Gandalf and the crew chosing to seek out death in bloodlust? I guess it's all subjective, since you could argue they could have gone more

I somewhat agree with the sentiment, but I think the line is fuzzy. UNIX, as the stories go, originated as essentially an abstraction layer for a single video game, all written in assembly, and eventually expanded to have process isolation

QEMU works fine on Windows natively, and supports the "Windows Hypervisor Platform" as an accelerator ("-accel whpx" I think), same API that Hyper-V and WSL2 use. Where you might run into problems is the audio/video

Yeah, it's a shame Google never wired up those video-out pins on the SoC. It still rubs me the wrong way that evidently Google could have enabled video-out but chose not to for whatever reason.

Either, really. Very few have the ability even in theory, whether anyone could intercept a bunch of ICBMs launched "in anger" seems questionable. Seems like an apt analogy talking about cybersecurity defenses.

This could be way more practically useful than GPU passthrough. GPU passthrough demands at least two GPUs (an integrated one counts), requires at least two monitors (or two video inputs on one monitor), and in my experience has a tendency t

Mono's port was done on their own initiative. Zend Server is, however, an IBM supported product. The same goes for e.g. node.js where IBM ported all of V8 to ppc64. (There is a community version of PHP released in 2019, but the commerc

While you'll probably run out of memory first, there's the enormous overhead of running qemu's translation, too. Using QEMU to emulate x86 on my POWER9 system, I get... roughly the performance of a 2001-2004 pentium processor

I think regardless of how good a metric stars are, it's still more likely to receive donations than a meme site about a recent event. I can't remember ever hearing someone talk about how successful their donation button was. I can

Not a strict superset, it's more accurate to say libreboot is a restricted and modified (old) subset of coreboot. I don't think coreboot has catered to blob free enthusiasts the same way libreboot has, and I believe the build syst

I mean, won't robots need repairs/maintenance, "training" in the form of programming or tweaking parameters, and other things? These may have lesser costs than their human equivalents, but I don't think they're

Huh? You totally can -- it's even mentioned down in the README in the github repo: https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86#notes-about-steam You can download a straight tar.gz file from Steam [0], extract it, and run the

It's not a direct match, but I think you'd be fascinated by aspects of Plan9's model. It certainly comes closer to what you've described than Unix does. Depending on exactly what you mean or you're envisioning, it m

Well, no -- you can also run the Linux version of Steam and games with a native Linux version with no need to use wine. The performance should be better than using wine, too.

Hard drive progression is definitely interesting. I don't have any numbers, but I have an old SPARC laptop from 1995, with dual slim SCSI drives from IBM. Thin little drives from the early 90s, going from 300-900 MB. And man, those thi

Right, then they shouldn't be effected by the rate-limiting, as long as its reasonable. If it was applied evenly to all clients/crawlers, it'd at least allow the possibility for a respectful, well designed crawler to compete.

Before reading this, I had presumed that sparse files did not overcommit drive space, but apparently, they do. I don't use them regularly and certainly not to "reserve disk space" but I was surprised that you can make sparse

If you think about it, though none of these except Shadow are "small players naively competing with big business", it still kind of demonstrates the point. Google starts something that is ostensibly a good idea, demonstrates that

This is the sort of thing that makes some people really wary of the GPL and other "viral" licenses, and I don't think you can blame them. The "blame" for this falls on someone for throwing in GPL'd code into an

I imagine even with legal support, many industries could work around them anyway. Except for jobs that rely on local workers, I can't help but think that the long term reaction to unionization in, say, the tech world, would involve (mo

Caveat, I don't use Arch and am not in any way connected to the community. However, since several people have mentioned it but no-one has actually linked it, this is the redirect for WSL in the arch wiki: https://gitlab.arch
