He doesn't mention it's a RS485 I/O card meant to fit into an CEC expansion box in a Z14 mainframe. Might be helpful terms to search if you're looking to find very similar parts...since there might be run on this one sp

booking.com is, I think, still a heavy Perl user. I don't know to what degree they give back.

Eh, smitty could be irritating because it persisted some changes but not others. So it was unclear if things you did outside it would get undone at boot time.

>PIPs are intended to bring consistency and fairness to the way employees are judged and managed. That's mostly bullshit. The real purpose of a PIP is just to bolster documentation on the employer side to fend off any wrongful termi

They can be terrible. But it is dirt cheap. So if you use their stuff in a way that you can recover somewhere else if they have issues, you save a lot. As you mentioned I would stay away from them for things like domain hosting. Just use

Yes, prior to 8.0, tcl strings mapped to null-terminated C strings. "Binary I/O. The new object system in Tcl 8.0 supports binary strings (internally, strings are counted in addition to being null terminated). There is a new &quo

A fair amount of the Docker Desktop use, on both mac and Windows, is driven by it's internal workarounds for brain-dead corporate VPNs.

There was a time when TCL could not handle binary data at all. The support came in TCL 8.0: "Binary data is now supported in Tcl." https://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/relnotes/tcl8.0.txt Well before

Ah, though I don't know what relative amount of similar time/money Apple dumped into that engine.

by tyingq 2y ago
Yes, though that's Fibonacci, etc. I assume V8 still has a large edge against PyPy for a lot of real world applications.

I'm curious if there's more to nodejs's relatively high performance than just Google's time/money put into v8. Would an equivalent amount of effort on Python have ended in similar performance? Or do python things li

It is the hobbled version of uBlock origin, missing features. It may do about the same for general ad blocking now. But, advertisers are now aware there's much less potential to drive people to heuristic-capable ad blockers because th

Perl excels at most of their list, though I understand why they aren't considering it. Just funny that you look at the list and one language in particular pops to mind.

There's also whether they will pay at all for some things. They have some discretion to claim some damage was existing, or unrelated to the claim, caused by the repair shop, not normally covered, etc. Or where they won't pay for O

"Can you imagine if the insurance company started arguing with the repair shop, asking them—no—telling them that they would only pay the $18,000 and not the additional $20,000 because that was the original estimate? Does that sound ri

I definitely remember, in the 80s, wondering what OS construct might be like a real life "winch". Window change didn't occur to me. Found in a manual later.

Maybe not. But typically natural attrition rates would let a hiring freeze take care of most of this. Layoffs are kind of normal current day, but a 20% layoff is not.

I think it's negligible, but you don't have to byte swap for network order with big endian.

Probably also some remaining low-end wifi routers that are big endian. MIPS, etc.

Probably lower memory requirements compared to any other "not C or ASM" environment.

uBlock does have some things that are pretty unique, and useful outside of ads for some websites. Element Zapper is a good example. https://github.com/gorhill/ublock/wiki/Element-zapper

Well, I would allow it for one specific extension that I feel does more good than harm for the capability. Call me insane.

I feel like we're losing the plot here. Removing the cancel capability of onBeforeRequest didn't improve security much. It did, though, hobble ad blockers to just dealing with static lists if they want to prevent an ad from down

That's remotely hosted code...also a problem, but you can inject code that's not remotely hosted.

Right. Advertisers didn't bother with all these tactics because normal chrome users could download a plugin without any major hurdles to thwart it. Why drive people that wouldn't otherwise use an ad blocker to do so? That's

Static list of uris versus live heuristics. So "much of a difference" depends a lot on what you browse. If your browsing is covered by the static list, yes...there's little difference. Also, keep in mind advertisers are not
