Hardware implementations typically do not like variable-size fields. Not just because the total header size becomes unpredictable, but because it means any following fields no longer have a fixed offset, and that complicates parsing.

How can wifi be a star topology when all clients connect to the base station using the same airwaves? If it really were a star topology, it would also not be possible to use aircrack-ng or other tools to gather data for WPA cracking by pass

And rfc2460 is obsoleted by rfc8200 from 2017. That should mean that IPv6 was designed in 2017 by an Israeli cybersecurity company, right?

Regardless of the actual number, I'm pretty sure that IPv4 addresses are not proportionally assigned to each region according to # of households.

Yes, the uri spec must allow the host part to be empty. That's easily shown by remembering that file:/// URIs are commonly preceded by three slashes, so the spec must allow for that. Not sure where the brain was going wi

Maybe if we'll get rack-sized fusion reactors out of it, I will consider the AI/Datacenter spending craze in the same light as NASA projects. Until then, they are rich kids' vanity projects and nothing more.

Your first example is a valid uri but not a valid http url, because it's missing a host part. Your second example is not a valid uri, as the spec requires that [scheme]:// is followed by a host indicator. Neither has much t

What do you imagine the difference to be between those two?

Yes, agreed on Ada.Interfaces and the FFI, it's one of the best. The only thing "missing" is auto-import of the definitions in C header files (but there be different dragons). gcc -fdump-ada-specs works fine, but it's ef

What's frightening to me is that even in the EU people seem to think that unchecked consolidation of services is a good thing. I don't think it is a good thing at all that there exist companies with a budget larger than an average

I also don't think Apple should be coerced to host content. However, as long as they insist on gatekeeping all installs on the iPhone platform they should be. If Apple doesn't want that coercion, they are free to relinquish thei

"This is unconstitional because Trump doesn't like it" is not a very strong argument. The position he's holding is called "Public Office" (not private office) for a reason.

Putting it in the hands on the GNOME foundation will just result in a lot of new soon-to-be-mandatory APIs and numerous configuration variables with only one allowed value.
