Well said. I use nvim with all kinds of plugins and a custom init.lua, and then I use vim (or nvi) when something goes wrong with my init.lua, and nvim won't start, or when I want to quickly open a file really quickly and not wait the

My favourite is connecting to some piece of embedded hardware’s USB service port and finding it’s a bog standard FTDI chipset… complete with the vendor’s drivers being a repackaged version of ftdibus.sys And for even more fun, multiple vend

Correct, although a foreclosure of a property will be affected if the owner of said property undergoes bankruptcy. (For private individuals, such as Mr Jones, some or all of their primary residential property is exempt from bankruptcy, and

Bankruptcy runs by different rules than foreclosures (which is why people about to be foreclosed on often file bankruptcy). Specifically, junior creditors are protected, and everyone gets a proportionate share of the proceeds. In a foreclos

Generally speaking, PS/2s did not have a PCI bus either, although some of them did have an ISA bus. (Both ISA and PS/2 microchannel would allow busmastering of exactly what your article describes, though, so the point might as wel

RS-485 is pretty much the standard to communicate with SDLC to another device. Think of this board as a serial port for a mainframe. Looks like the same card is intended for use in IBM POWER hardware too, running OS/400 or AIX (or Linu

The correct way to identify the entity in the address bar is to display the O= (and country, if it differs from the requester) from the X.509 certificate. URLs following a pattern is not a good way to authenticate a site.
