Hard disagree. Disk buffer cache is too eager on writes (which makes sense for the usual case), so temporary data written to a filesystem are almost always written to the medium. With several GBs of temporary data it easily could fill up in

No, DDoS are illegal (and Slashdot effect is legal) due to intent. That is usually the most important distinction in criminal matters.

AFAIK MacOS looks garbage on standard resolution displays mainly because they don't do any grid-fitting. I (on Linux) do not use any sub-pixel AA (just regular AA), but i use aggressive grid-fitting and i have nice, sharp text.

This seems like a silly solution, considering we are in the middle of IPv6 transition, where local networks use public addresses.

Never heard about Jesus pleading for 'seizing means of production'. I heard it was more like 'Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s'.

I would say the proper way to apply Postel's law is to reasonable interpretations of standards. Internet standards are just text documents written by humans and often they are underspecified or have multiple plausible interpretations.

This is also how BGP (mostly) solved it. Each attribute has 'transitive' bit. Unknown attributes with 'transitive' bit set are passed, one without are discarded.

Without this behavior it would be impossible to deploy newer BGP attributes globally.

There is already RFC 7606 (Revised Error Handling for BGP UPDATE Messages), which specifies in detail how broken BGP messages should be handled. The most common approach is 'treat-as-withdraw', i.e. handle the update (announcement

To me it seems absurd that such organization like Mozilla uses third-party hosting like GitHub instead of something self-hosted or at least running under their own name. I understand that one-person projects use GitHub, but forcing contribu

Here in Czechia, not only addresses corporate legal representatives or sole proprietors are in a public registry, but also addresses of real property owners are in the public cadastre. It seems funny to me that government considers these in

Visual style of hyphen-minus depends on font. Some fonts displays it more like a minus, others like a hyphen. So if you care about distinguishing hyphen and minus, it makes sense to use dedicated hyphen and minus, and do not use hyphen-minu

Which is gross mischaracterization. Many transhumanists do not think the singularity is real. It is just a prediction of simplified model, where in reality technological progress would hit limitations not accounted in the model. And even if

Because there are many people that (explicitly or implicitly) understand human body and mind as 'sacred' and would oppose intrusive technological improvements to that. So it makes sense to have a term for people who, on the other

Ordinals in math also start at zero. It is just common people accepted zero for cardinals and but not (yet) for ordinals.

Note that 'first' and 'second' are not etymologically related to one or two, but to 'foremost'. Therefore, it is would make sense to use this sequence of ordinals: first, second, twoth, third, fourth, ... or sh

Yeah, i agree that these are areas that make Ultima 7 outstanding even compared to many modern RPGs: 1. NPCs are unique 2. NPCs have plenty of interesting dialogues compared even to current games. I wonder why current games lag behind. If t
