Probably many people use tmux or screen rather than UI tabs on the terminal emulator, the feature set is just better. Plus you don't have to switch between two UI types for remote and local sessions.

Host firewalls don't generally do it. Seems AVs can better tolerate the reputation of being invasive and draconian. I suppose it's different if are focused on trying to win from a starting point of a compromised machine, a kind of

Yes, it has that optimization for short data (though it's not restricted to English), but the PR and specs say it's still meant to be a general purpouse compressor. And it does very well on most types of large data.

Where does it say that Brotli is for small English text documents? I didn't see anything like that in the draft spec or the Google blog post. The spec doesn't say much on the subject but has this item in the Purpouse section: &quo

It's a real problem in a compressor proposed for general purpouse use when it's shown that a naturally occurring major class of data has this bad performance.

Thanks. Stan looks interesting! Seems this guy is a major figure in its development too. Link: http://mc-stan.org/ ("Stan is a probabilistic programming language implementing full Bayesian statistical inference ")

First you fix and raise awareness about the biggest cause of problems. It takes a long time. Then you do it again with the remaining biggest cause of problems. Etc. There are tools and methods to address the "first world problems"

The positive critic reviews acknowledged these aspects of the game too, but still gave good reviews if not quite as glowing as Act 1. Eg "While I wish that Double Fine kept taking me to new and surprising settings, Act 2 makes the abso

In user reviews there are 35 negative reviews out of 123 ratings. Not "especially horrible" by any means either. If you look at the comments on the metacritic "user reviews" page, there are a lot of people disappointed t

You might have a point if Chrome hadn't been the first browser to implement pinning, therefore defining the concept in web context to a large extent. You may argue that this is is broken behaviour, but that's what pinning currentl

Nit: It was co-discovered by Google and Codenomicon, so it did not depend on Google.

You just linked to 20 screenfuls of text that explain pinning in general, without a single mention of "rogue". The fact is that pinning as implemented in Chrome exempts installed CA's from pinning checks because they want to

Wow, addressing climate change and unsustainable resource consumption are absent from the list and "protecting the environment" is once mentioned in passing.

Anyone have a link for a bugzilla tracking bug for win64/win32 performance parity? I lucked out with a web search. It would be interesting to see what kind of things are being done for this.

MIPS was almost dead then though. They weren't bought out because they seemed successful. Possibly a hedging move against ARM's dominance.

Unfortunately this relies on PMTU discovery working, which is frequently broken by misconfigured firewalls by eg blocking all ICMP traffic. Now that GCE has a more exotic broken firewall that also breaks traffic with PMTU disabled, you have

It might be a good idea to package this together with increasing income transfers so that for low income citizens the increase in gas taxes would on average be compensated, but they would be free to use it for things other than burning gas
