Unix is both a family of operating systems and also a trademark. The name is overloaded - "Unix" is more than one thing at the same time. In addition, the trademark is "UNIX" and the operating system family is "Unix

It also shows a (potential) lack of understanding of what's happening internally at the upper levels DigiCert. This might have been a known issue or some other very poorly handled thing, is part of a larger pattern or issue, and he&#x2

It's one of those things where if someone does the work, they're allowed to show off how they like. Next time you do an interesting display mod or port, you can choose whatever video you like.

It just is a thing, tbh. It manifests in the data pretty clearly. In aggregate, in large data sets, race comes through - especially with a few datapoints. For example, when I worked at a fintech company: with household income and zip code,

This is not an issue about "old hardware" or "old games", it's about an emulator for a currently selling system. I don't agree with what Nintendo is doing, but I understand why they're so angry.

Neither has anyone in the US - they're relatively niche pre-cursors to the SUV, sold a respectable yet tiny amount (500,000), and haven't shipped a product since 1980.

fwiw a 320w cpu isn't running at 320w all of the time. if you're powering something off of batteries in a consumer situation, a 240w vs 320w cpu isn't going to move the needle unless you're really running it hard (like a

Full self driving is a misleading name, Level 2 is not Level 5, Tesla is overpromising a solution, and I wouldn't consider something in "beta" that is safety critical to be considered shipping as GA.

A few months ago, I had to quickly bang out a script to output about 20 million lines of text, each the output of a hash function. My naive solution took more than a few minutes - simple optimizations such as writing every 10k lines cut the

The problem with this logic is that users _are_ pounding sand: to macos and ipados, which has been steadily ticking up.

SCIM adoption isn't near where it needs to be. I guess yeah, this is the correct answer. We live in a world where SSO is considered an enterprise feature, I hope one day that it's considered default.

One thing that SSO isn't great at is deactivating live sessions. Often, you either solve this with short session times (annoying to users), making a note in the de-provisioning steps document (not foolproof), or using a third party ven

The question if video games are art or not has been pretty solved, and the question has moved on to emulation accuracy versus impacting the original experience. It's a very tricky, subjective thing, especially in a medium that is often
