I believe this is at least part of the explanation. Although there might have been some further developments in the 100 years since this was published Oleic acid on water forms a film one molecule deep, in which the hydrocarbon ch

From my point of view it doesn't seem like really appreciate the Debian-style integrated self-contained OS model; what people want (these days) is more just a platform to run 3rd party applications. It is easy to see why some people se

Replying to myself, I found 1899 paper which is more explicit on the matter, and shows how Rayleigh was not all that certain about the results: The comparison of the present with former results throws an interesting light upon mo

These days I'm less excited about residential fiber deployments as they are more often than not some passive optical setup, which is worlds apart from a proper active fiber that you'd get in a DC or a dedicated business line. For

Because of these new subsidised fiber deployments, it's not uncommon anymore for rural/semi-rural areas to have better connectivity than urban or sub-urban areas, which is bit awkward.

I think doing the opposite is better usually, never making changes to the main /etc/ssh/sshd_config and always add your own customizations to /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/; that way you have clear separation of

There is fairly significant difference in radio observations and visible spectrum imaging though. You aren't going to get 5m resolution visible light image of the Moon any time soon.

iwlwifi has its own set of problems, biggest being no AP mode (on 5 Ghz). Also intels firmware license is more restrictive than mediateks, and being fullmac the firmware does lot more of the heavy lifting; I personally prefer softmac more.

Isn't the reason for busybox multi-call binary mostly just ELF being bloated? So the answer for resource constrained systems would be to have more efficient executable format. I don't see why multi-call binary + bunch of symlinks
