This is all nice and well, while https://www.puredarwin.org/wiki/#/news/Support-Cliff-Sekel Wouldn't it be more natural if this project made use of XNU/Darwin... But with the way things are going, w

Interestingly, either I'm _hallucinating_ this, or DeepSeek started to consistently show a clock without failures and with good time, where it previously didn't. ...aaand as I was typing this, it barfed a train wreck. Never mind,

Bread and butter stuff. Pulling together all of the assorted algorithms and data structures I implemented in C over the years out of necessity - lists, trees, stacks, queues, hash tables, memory pools, etc. - aligning the APIs, cleaning up

All comes down to some degree of "linguistic intuition", that one acquires from not necessarily speaking foreign languages, but some exposure and proximity to them. My bet is that most Europeans, faced with "Edsger Dijkstra&q

Don't forget SkyOS. And there's plenty more, with SerenityOS being one of the latest notable examples. Those days never ended. Also ekhem ekhem TempleOS, as single developer as you can get.

Text selector issue aside, even though this seems to be the leading narrative here, this user's problem is the language rather than text selection; they only need text selection to work around it. The site in question could simply gene

First heard about this on QI. I stopped watching it after Stephen Fry stopped presenting it, and then watching old episodes didn't feel right anymore after Sean Lock's passing...

Not a gamer as such apart from "I've played some computer games at some points in my life". I don't know about the current generation(s!) of gamers, but in DN3D and Quake when "mouselook" was first added, the d

Aaahh, PowerToys - making Windows somewhat usable since 1996. On a related note, before I'm forced to write my own, does anyone know of a Windows tool that allows keyboard based window navigation? Not the alt-tab faff, I mean like in t

Doesn't the use of .internal and the likes preclude the use of ACME/certbot for your internal https services? Unless you want the pain of running your own internal CA but then some OSes complain about internal CAs these days.

Many people swear by the Passport, but the BB Classic in easily topped it my opinion. The best phone keyboard ever made and the phone itself could serve as a blunt weapon if it came to it.

It amazes me (and that's on the account of me getting older) how people not immediately associate it with the a BB phone. I remember complaining at how BlackBerry 10 took away lots of usability tricks and keyboard shortcuts the classic

Do it, that should make a significant difference. See https://www.opencompute.org/wiki/PTM_Readiness for other hardware that supports it, i225/226 are the most common these days, but also a system with TGPIO 1PPS

Should have clarified: previous generation timing receivers. Yes, self-survey + stationary mode + O/D mode where you can track a single SV and such, are essential for stable time sync, not just sawtooth. There is an exception re. saw

The term Line Discipline gets me every time, it's right up there with Kernel, Shell and Terminal and always takes me back to my first contact with Unix and Unix-like systems. Felt like being eight years old and being allowed to pet a r

In addition, for the purposes of characterising the system using NTP, ideally one should also either eavoid any ensembling / combining of sources because that's just pulling in multiple sources of noise, or it should be proven tha

I would worry less about _trigger jitter_, especially for relative measurements, because unless it's one of those toy scopes, trigger jitter will be negligible for this purpose, so yes the scope, but less trigger jitter and more measur

To an extent. You can get previous generation GNSS receivers with sawtooth correction for cheap, eBay is full of those, say an old Trimble Resolution whatever, and lots of LEA-6T carrier boards going for $20-range, and bare modules for less

by wowczarek 1y ago
Applying sawtooth correction will remove _some_ of the jitter but at the time server level, not network level, and quantisation error is not the main source of jitter here (I'm talking long time constants) - Packet Delay Variation (PDV

Yes, I saw those PTP posts and where the methodology lacks a bit. Re. asymmetries canceling out, OK, I oversimplified, and this is true in theory and often in practice, but for example, having done this with nearly all generations of enterp

The problem with these types of posts is that this is an area that many are unfamiliar with (at least not in depth) and making lots of authoritative statements makes it believable at face value. There are so many variables to network time s

As someone who's done very little with C++ - not enough to explore what std:: has to offer today anyway - but a lot with C and with time and frequency, looking past the quirk and the typing consequences, all I could see was "oh lo

Great work! The video does state this clearly that it was about the journey first and foremost and that's great, but yet to me it feels unfinished when it ends as soon as we get to the really fun stuff, so it's complete in the s

Not the point of the exercise obviously, but at five minutes' training I wonder how this would compare to a Markov chain bot.

I remember those horizontal menus; Lotus 1-2-3 really was the pinnacle of productivity. You could also create custom menus, assign shortcut keys to your macros, and of course have your macros call other shortcut keys. I was too young to use
