A good bunch of these resolve to AWS/cloudflare/etc. nowadays, so good luck with that.. :-/

This is one of the things that get all weird the more I think about it. Trying to define an objective term like "simple" is of no use if you can't map it to something in human perception. Let's say we have some all-knowi

I read a post once from another (claimed?) ex-employee who said that around 2009 or so, Opera wasn't doing so great and they laid off a dev or two and then after they recovered half a year later, they never re-hired to fill the gap. Th

Out of curiosity I recently installed Debian Stretch on my Pentium Pro 200 (dual CPU). The text based installer warned that my 128MB of RAM wouldn't be enough for it to finish, but luckily it still succeeded. The system boots within a

Isn't the problem rather that we have instructions to control the cache at all? As far as my research goes, things like CLFLUSH were introduced at the same time as SSE2, which was what, the Pentium III era? We were apparently doing fin

Are you able to easily detect whether your account is currently blocked and add some warning to the front page? Would make it easier than just spamming sp@mnesty.com until the mails don't bounce anymore...

I have one domain at hand that I don't use for mail at all, so people counter >= 1. I could set any MX/SPF records you want as long as I don't have to change them every two months or so... ;-)

I could hear that too! Actually nowadays I hear it all the time because I have a tinnitus that is pretty close to that frequency. :-/

Ah yes, I'm probably too focused on just x86 desktop/server with my everyday work that this didn't even occur to me, so I assumed you were meaning to refer to maintainability/security.

The only thing really worse there is that the number of people who could audit the code is much smaller. That guy wrote a whole SSL library in assember, so he probably didn't just finish some assembler tutorial and decided this was a g

I got one half a year ago just for fun (and because I wanted integers to be represented in memory the proper way round for the first time in my life. ;-)) I set it up at my workplace because my wife would kill me if yet another desktop PC a

I think you're a bit too harsh. Yes, that might be true. I never complained about him before "in public" so there was some steam to release. However I hope I still gave enough clear thought on how I think he is acting wrong

Are you reading the same thread as me? He replied explaining precisely why this is an error and received nothing but hate for it, 40 thumbs downs. No, apparently I'm not. In the thread I read, OP mentioned a regex that he found somew

Yes I tried to do research on this on the past. Linux, as in "just the kernel", doesn't care about user name formats as far as I can tell. However, the Linux philosophy goes "try to adhere to POSIX where it makes sense,

I'm less and less surprised by the hate poettering gets. It's like he's deliberately trying to be as arrogant and ignorant as possible. POSIX says usernames starting with a digit should be fine. But because very few utils hav

For me it's quite the opposite. I like browsing the web in the evening on a 5 year old tablet. Ever since imgur started redirecting mobile clients to the full site for all direct image links the experience gets worse and worse. They ke

I might not belong to the majority, but I prefer sharing an office with about 2-4 people. I don't get distracted by that, it rather makes me feel I'm actually working in a team, while sitting in a single room leads more to the fee

Still, making the compiler do whatever the hell it wants because "hey it's undefined behavior so we have the license to" is just as idiotic. Make the compilation fail and then add a flag to override for those who feel extra s

How did that work out performance wise? I was on an adsl connection in Beijing. Inside the country it was really great, could max out the 100mbit. Foreign websites were a pain. I found that ingress traffic constantly had a packet loss of 30
