Yes and no. One of the problems is that Verisign's handling of IDNs wasn't exactly the best conceived, which left them with silly IDN codepoint tables like this: https://www.iana.org/domains/idn-tables/ta

I don't see this as a good thing at all. Dyn themselves are a good enough company, but Oracle's culture could easily leach in.

You know what's ridiculous? Google's EMEA HQ is in Ireland, yet they're not selling them here. Instead, we have to pretend we're in the UK or order though a reseller.

Yup, but Luxi itself is essentially a remix of Lucida.

Is it just me, or is every other font produced by Bigalow and Holmes essentially Lucida?

Then why did you make the remark about 'double subscribing'? Also, there's a good reason for subscribing to channels: it actually help the channel creator because the subscriber number (which is what that number is) feeds int

Then you're not actually subscribed to any channel, and you don't show up as a subscriber in their analytics.

No. It was just a feed of the changes to the channels you're subscribed to. There's no double subscription here. It was this in feed form: https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions

OK, then you point me to the unified feed for your subscriptions that YouTube publish. Oh wait, you can't, because there hasn't been one for ages now. They only have per-channel and per-playlist feeds.

He does actually refer to this, but he could be more explicit on point (2) rather than referring to it obliquely.

That was never removed, but the single feed of your subscriptions was. Unfortunately, none of this replaces that.

No, that's not the one that YouTube removed that annoyed everyone. You used to be able to get a single feed of the new videos on the channels you're subscribed to. That's not this, and still doesn't exist anymore.

Except that's not what happened. Go read the article and read up on them: they only took on VC funding later when they had a solid business that had been built from scratch and was beyond the Apple II era of its existence. This wasn&#x

These would be better names from a purely phonological point of view: Unusper, Tresper, Quattober, Sexper. That way you don't have awkward clusters of both voiced and unvoiced consonants. The -ber affix having originally come from men

Wouldn't be a terrible idea to do something similar for the BSDs, particularly FreeBSD. A lot of the syscalls would be passthroughs, which would make things a little easier at least.

Even RAM can be fragmented. Fragmentation is a property of anything where things are added and removed. The only difference is that fragmentation on spinning rust causes increases in seek, read, and write times, but wasted storage is as muc

You'd think that, but trying to convince registries to go down that route is head wrecking. And then you have the likes of the .ie domain registry (IEDR) who use their own vaguely EPP-like protocol that works nothing like normal regist

Well, unlike gTLDs, ICANN have no control over what ccTLD registries do. Personally, I much prefer dealing with ccTLD registries who behave like gTLD registries (.me, .co, &c.), but those are few and far between. Smaller ccTLDs are unli

IIRC, 16.10 has low-resource usage mode that cuts down on the visual effects. If you're seeing that kind of artifacting in Unity, you should consider reporting it as it's a bug with details about your graphics hardware. Personally

Why would there be mention of systemd? It's in 16.04 already as the default init.

They're not forcing it on anybody any time soon. Until Unity 8 has parity with Unity 7, it's not even going to be considered as the default. Funny thing is, their efforts to avoid the issues with and backlash against the original

It makes perfect sense if you know anything about Portuguese. 'àquele' is the preposition 'a' + 'aquele'. Grave accents are only used to mark contractions such as this, and the circumflex and acute accents - wh

I learned Prolog back in 1997, so it may have existed in the implementations I used back then. Must see if I can find an implementation of HU Prolog from back then. I also used SWI Prolog from back then, and I'd expect that was more up

There's nothing funny about ';': it's just 'or'. Combined with '->', which means 'then', it essentially comes to behave like an 'else'. ';' has been in the language si

The problem isn't generation, but consumption. If you're consuming feeds, Atom is significantly better than RSS because it's better specified.

What Google need to do next is to finally get out from under Qualcomm. They're a big part of the reason why older hardware can't be supported by newer versions of Android.
