I can sort of see how that may be the case with Musk and Zuckerberg, but Gates? Is it normal in US for upper middle class fathers to be partners at multi-national law corporations?

This case is more akin to a TV network, since the ad is publicly broadcasted based on what people are watching/reading. It’s not private correspondence.

I'd expect higher quality code review from OpenBSD folks (who maintain LibreSSL), compared to OpenSSL. Also, an interesting talk: LibreSSL: The first 30 days, and what the Future Holds from BSDCan: < https://www.youtube.

Chess is immortal, not because its inventor left clear instructions how to make chess boards and pieces, but because the rules are well understood. To extrapolate it to video games it wouldn’t be about preserving the source code, but having

BTW how do you test a personal workstation backup? I don’t have backup workstations to rotate between by backing one up, restoring on the other, working and then cycling between them in this manner. How do you test the restore procedure wit

I stand corrected. As I’ve double-checked now, unfortunately “UTC” is ambiguous in that it may refer both to the time standard and the time zone. In this case one can say that Unix time is based on UTC the time standard, but not the time zo

Unix time is not UTC-based. It counts the number of seconds passed since a certain point in time, which may be described as date and time expressed in any time zone you like. It just so happens that in UTC it is easiest to remember for a hu

Yeah, I know some people do use it on Windows. But I already felt that I sunk lots of time into debugging my config on multiple occasions, so when on Windows basically nothing from my config worked I lost any will to debug it yet again.

I’ve been using Emacs for 6 years now. But recently it became clear to me that it’s really optimised for Linux and doesn’t work as well on Mac and Windows[1]. On top of that I kept running into performance issues with large files. It took m

Using the correct name wouldn’t cause any confusion. A newspaper should be held to a higher standard than an average whatever.

Taste is learnt. Some people consider junk food to taste good only because they’ve been conditioned to eat it when they were growing up. If junk food was not a regular thing in your life, I doubt you’d consider it particularly tasty. Due to

From recent(-ish) additions, the vh unit and flexbox were enormous help to me when I was designing a photography section for my personal website. From something older, which nonetheless helped and was new to me, were "display: inline-b

There is a reason there is a lower bound on age allowing you to be elected. I do think there should be an upper bound as well.

The problem is when you instruct a colleague to check something using nmap, they install nmap using snap and are surprised it doesn't work, while you are left wondering what the hell is wrong with their computer, oblivious to the footg

Debs are very easy to make and their structure is easy to understand for anyone who's been using Linux for at least a couple months. They're just tarballs with a couple special text files. What's hard is Debian's officia

Nit: "tail" usually means "everything except the head", not "last element". I got a little confused there for a moment reading your comment.

That would be read-only though, so not an ideal solution for Sublime. Although one could mmap and then reference the original from a structure describing how the file was modified. However mmaping files which can be modified by another proc

Strictly a web server doesn't appear to would have required manual intervention in the course of those exact updates. But the point is that manual intervention is required from time to time. Also, Keycloak is very much on my TODO list

One thing Arch is never going to have is smooth unattended upgrades. I host a web server on a Debian-based VPS and, aside from updates between releases every couple years, I don’t need to ever bother myself with keeping it up-to-date. It’s

1. C++ doesn’t use vtables for classes which do not have virtual methods (in practice most of them). And vtables are shared between objects of the same type. 2. “Malloc headers”? Malloc usually stores metadata in freed data. 3. C++ develope
