Have many major cable companies actually stopped offering (non-IP-based) TV? I hadn't heard about that.

That's the author's second format (MIME), not third (plaintext).

Thank you!

Wow. Could you point us to more technical information about this "feature" of Windows? I'm hoping someone has reverse-engineered it somewhere, but I'm not finding anything with some brief Googling.

Could you clarify which part of the ACA you are saying was struck down by the Supreme Court? The only such parts I know of are the mandatory Medicaid expansion and some stuff related to covering contraception. (And the individual mandate p

Definitely not. WebP is an image format, akin to JPEG or PNG. Many modern browsers have built-in codecs. No JS required.

Maybe there are better examples, but pez and pescado are pretty obviously derived from the same source ( pescado literally meaning a thing that is fished [i.e., captured from the sea] ).

Good lord, what an absolute turn-off. I'll take memory unsafety over working with someone who continually instigates arguments like that.

I agree it's a weird distinction, but it's by no means an uncommon one. Christians in the US, for example, often consider fish not to be meat. https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/good-question-why-isn

Your overall point is valid and very well explained, but potatoes are not fruits in either sense.

Yeah, I've seen more than a few public parking facilities that got rid of their existing payment terminals (which take credit card, and sometimes cash) in favor of smartphone-based payment. I struggle to understand what would motivat

For the uninitiated (like me), killall in Solaris kills "all active processes not directly related to the shutdown procedure" (not those with a certain name as the Linux/psmisc killall does). https://docs.oracle.co

Yeah, that's understandable. And I'm certainly guilty of reacting that way at times. This just seemed like a clear situation where the original commenter was genuinely open to others' opinions but instead was dealt an insult

You'll win more hearts and minds if you just present misinformed people with the facts. Telling people that they were "bamboozled" makes them feel embarrassed (and probably less receptive to the important part of your messag

"Quite simple" is an enormous overstatement here. The API surface of macOS is a vast superset of POSIX, including lots of libraries (AppKit, e.g.) that are not open-source.

Sure, some of that sounds like "red tape". But avoiding needlessly duplicated functionality seems like a rather noble goal to me, one that can save everyone a great deal of maintenance effort in the future.

Contrary to this revisionist history, Apple absolutely had an iPhone software division while Steve Jobs was around. It was led by Scott Forstall, and it was slowly reintegrated back with the Mac sofware division after Jobs died and Forstal

I would love to see some data on this, if anyone knows of any. I'll just provide anecdata that of the doctors among my friends and family, more of them get paid by "wRVU" [0], which is basically a derivative of "how muc

Because, like it or not, a doctor's discretion can sometimes be self-serving. The more treatments a doctor gives, the more they get paid, and there is an enormous information imbalance between doctor and patient. (As in, they went to

Isn't that mostly because of the power imbalance between the record label and the musician? That is, the analogy you're really looking for is whether Spotify works for the record label.

So, which century are you skipping to make this work? I think we all have our preferences.

Not a great one offhand, but here's a decent one from Apple, from back in the days when they put energy into documenting internal stuff like this. (As a result, some of the details in it are slightly out-of-date, but the general shape

This sounds pretty similar to the pageout scan in Mach (i.e., NeXTSTEP, Darwin, macOS, iOS, and derivatives). It's also used by 4.4BSD and some of the modern BSDs. There is an "active" queue and an "inactive" queue

Why not download the mail and keep it locally, instead of accessing it only on the whims of Google security EPMs? A standard IMAP client will do this for you easily.

Here is why they claim this is possible. Basically, it's a form of timing attack. > As observed in the papers presenting the Minerva [8] and TPM-FAIL [9] attacks, many common cryptographic libraries optimize the computation time of

What statute or case law supports this distinction between material goods and business units? It seems reasonable to me that you could absolutely purchase a business unit from a bankrupt company without any associated liabilities. Of cours
