this states it bypasses my local resolver. Does it still account for /etc/hosts blocks? I use a few thousand entries to black hole malware and ad networks and I’d rather not lose this.

I don’t believe they’d be successful in China because they weren’t historically. Also we can compare how a nationalist, democratic, and capitalist country of similar size, population, colonial explotation, and natural resource wealth would

If you consider 50 years to go from having <10% literacy to >99%, while also stabilizing an entire nation's food supply, and becoming an economic super power on par with EU/US then I hate to see what you consider fast. Oh we

Wow this post really pisses me off. A lot of these issues are addressed in Continental Philosophy which never really caught on in America because of its association with Hegel and Marx. I wonder why the author doesn’t... oh American Economi

This is marketing hype. Apple’s commits to the LLVM (where the shader gets compiled into GPU executable code) states the A11 GPU target is “PowerVR Rogue” ISA. Which is identical to how it compiles for the A10. So it’s still using foreign I

My windows 10 Pro cost me $270 when I got it on christmas sale. I can't disable debug telemetry or cortona. If I set the options to via admin (or even safe mode) via registry edits. After a reboot I'll find them back on.

Zircon is very much in the legacy of linux. The biggest sin of Linux API remains ioctl (and its variants). Zircon commits the same mistake with its `object_get_prop` [1] and `object_get_info` [2]. If you pretend to be type safe (have differ

Yes. There are Low Energy Nuclear reactions that can occur but their often catalyzed by a muon which requires _a lot_ of energy to produce. There has been so little academic research (recently) because experimental evidence hasn't been

on Windows the native ABI (or the default ABI I should say) explicitly reserves space for C++ stack unwinding on a per call basis. A lot of the windows API can (ab)use this so it’s best to follow it, despite it being C (ish).

The GCC addons (gcc-fortran, gcc-cobal, and gcc-go) just convert the existing language into C that is just ingested into the standard GCC. It was only around 2008 that gcc-c++ stopped doing the internal translation/name mangling dance

if your dealing with currencies you can’t use fractions. Unrepresentative decimal values (.33, .34, .66) are non trivial without many bits of fraction space. Your IEEE standard for floating points has a lot of complex rules and standard bin

the answer you are looking for to your core question is “No”. Generally all kernels will assume _some_ backing store. The reason for this is dealing with RAM being full. This is because updating MMU is generally expensive, so it’s easier to

I'm glad `xi` is separating the editor core from the UI. This feels more correct. So the GUI authors can work on the chrome and polish, while the editor team focus on performance and all the nitty-gritty memory operations.

Auto generated traits? Yuck. I understand the trade offs and why this makes sense. But it hearkens back to some of extremely ugly parts of older Java frameworks.

This really scares me because the emacs unexec operation has had a ton of safety related bugs.

They really should. The problem is this nearly every single processor Intel shipped for a decade so Intel doesn't have the cash flow to RMA that many replacements. They're going to fight tooth and nail to avoid this.

Emacs is very slow to start. Especially once you have a few extensions and addons. Emacs does an “unexec” operation to save its entire memory map to disk so its startup looks faster. But many people still run Emacs in a daemon. This preserv

Wait. If your JavaScript is only going to execute in 1 version of the V8 engine forever why use JQuery? Serious question. I’m not a huge JS Develoler but when I dabbled I was told JQuery was there to soften the differences between browsers.
