In the alternate reality where public libraries didn't already exist, I suspect the law would make it illegal to loan books. It would be a direct response to these small informal libraries trying to share books and "violate the li

Well I suppose that makes some sense. I have felt that Fox's online presence is slightly more neutral (though somehow more sensationalist) than their TV presence. Edit: I do think the separation of their opinion pieces from their reg

Not that I fundamentally disagree with their results, but the study seems like it has significant bias itself. In what context is Fox News only slightly right-leaning? Anything critical of the current administration is not left-leaning eith

There are already some real pain points with bionic. I primarily write Linux code that sometimes has to run on Android (notably not any other UNIX). I've run into tons of problems porting to old versions of bionic, despite the kernel b

That would be one reason, you could compare more language runtimes. I think the core of my issue is that it used to provide more data points, and give the user more power. I would think that the site is primarily targeted toward developers,

Absolutely not. Thanks for pointing that out. I definitely misread the grandparent's post to be monthly (which means I'm paying 3x). I think ~$2.16/month is so cheap that it didn't register as possible. I do, however, ha

I think your attitude is abhorrent. Cheating matters. The purpose of going to college, or recording track times is for measurement and comparison. Allowing cheaters isn't just cheating yourself, it devalues the meaning of the measureme

Not to be contrary, but that is almost exactly what I pay to T-Mobile (in the US) for unlimited data. I also have great coverage in rural parts of the country. Strictly multiplying by 8 isn't really a good comparison, as the cost of su

Lua 5.1 has LuaJIT, which is quite fast. Performance was obviously a priority, and since LuaJIT doesn't support newer than 5.1, that's probably why they used that as the point of comparison. https://luajit.org/perf

I've seen multiple 4-way SMP rumors in comments in the last few weeks. Was there something hinted at, or a "leak" implying this might happen? I did a brief search but didn't find anything.

My organization does this (AD domain appears to be the same as the public domain name), and I also had problems when I opted into the HTTPS DNS trial. As in, no internal servers resolved. I had thought that internal networks these days woul

I should mention that reproducible builds are really about making bit-for-bit identical builds. There are reasons this is difficult, including individual projects inserting timestamps at the time that they build, or compile-time randomness,

The distros do maintain a reference back to the source. Debian makes it trivial to download the source code for packages and to build it yourself. apt source htop apt build-dep htop cd htop-2.0.2 dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -nc

Just a warning, but with Who Am I, my love of the movie largely comes from the rooftop fight sequence. It has been long enough that I only vaguely remember a few parts of the movie outside of that sequence. Thanks for the tip on The Foreign

Yes (to Drunken Master)! I just noticed this last weekend that it was on Netflix and re-watched it. After many years, I still really enjoy the movie. Another one of his that I really enjoyed was Who Am I, but I haven't seen it in proba

Yeah, I don't really buy the parent comment's insinuation that Microsoft GitHub would be more likely to fix it than GitHub previously. My company has shipped hundreds of thousands of devices with a Microsoft OS on it, and they vir

Although it's kind of silly trying to make these judgements, I'd say Google has been a net-positive, Facebook is a little murkier. Google's net positive has almost certainly been search. I believe this has probably had a huge

There are excellent laptops that aren't made by Apple. I feel that Apple's advantage there was lost at least a couple years ago. At the top of that list I would probably put the Dell XPS 13 , and it can be bought with Linux. HP (E

You realize that it's not about compared to 25 years ago though, right? When I looked at the beginning of this year, the same RAM size and speed was about twice as expensive as it was two years ago.

Doesn't this mean that middle-men are just being inserted who are absorbing some of the productivity (earnings) of the worker? It seems like this would only make economic sense if the end company isn't using them on a regular basi

It is pretty crazy. I felt the same way. Individual x64 cores tend to be so much more powerful than other architectures, and now single chips will effectively have 128 logical cores. For my purposes (large builds and rendering), I think RAM

For a period of time there were CEF interfaces for Servo. Unfortunately, when Firefox added their GPU webrender stuff, it broke and there was no effort to go back and fix it. I looked into using this for a project and discovered this unfort
