   I know Discord is popular, but I've tried about 3 dozen servers on a ton of hobby topics (linux , raspberry pi, golang, various games, politics) and I've found the caliber of conversation to be very poor. Nothing like forums, st

   I'm not going to say that any OS is perfect. and it's great that you actually test Windows. most critiques I see are 1990s assessments of ACLs and memory protection. Generally protected folders (CFA) will protect system32 , but tr

    It’s also bad legal commentary . The TSA seems to have broad legal authority. The more vague a law is, the more authority the executive branch has , not less (assuming it’s constitutional, and our constitution is also deliberately limited)

    golang concurrent IO is so accessible that even trivial IO transform scripts (e.g. compression, base64, md5sum/cksum) are very easy to multicore. You'd be astonished at how much faster even seemingly fast local IO can go when you
