In Sweden it has. When I got my EV 4 years ago, the list of public EV charging locations was about the same as the amount of petrol stations, now its 3-4x as many. And as others ha…

Even then, what europeans would want is that noone could force them to copy or release it outside of Europe. Otherwise its kind of moot where its stored, if it can be coerced out a…

Yes, did not mean to imply that everyone should know everything immediately, just that "the server was too small" feels a bit misguided. It might solve the problem to make the hw a…

In the 90s, people thought about the c10k problem, which is how to handle 10000 connections. In those days, this 2GB server would have been a dream to have and probably had moved t…

It worked for Stephen Hawking, and he was totally worth listening to.

C64 also has a token parsing routine in zeropage.

It would also eat up even more RAM, so your 64k computer that "normally" gave you only 39k for BASIC, with Simons' BASIC loaded you would be down to 30.7k.

If we get new code by the "shovel", then it is likely trained on old bad code, so it might just (re)introduce old types of bugs by the shovel until all new fixed code overshadows t…

If they don't get scanned, then they also don't get fixed, so if they have the same amount of holes, they will stay vulnerable for longer.

Go back to amiga and C64.

The 64Ultimate goes to 64MHz, the Ultimate64 cartridge goes to 48MHz "only".

I don't really know which "we" you refer to that did find enough v4 ips. Once you could get a /24 by just applying for it, now you have to purchase second-hand ranges from some pre…

Well, in a strict sense, it is "you" who chooses to run a nat'ing router there, you could just have one single computer per ISP connection. Or have it run a proxy for you, or nat. …

In some sense, "you did". Your actions, intentional and direct or not, allowed for one more sale of Win11 and an accompanying sad Dell computer, giving them the signal (however wea…

Not on all OSes. And it's not all good to have one less socket, there are still issues with people not expecting v4 traffic on a v6-capable socket, like described here: https://rad…

Then again, remote DMA to your memory via a port on the computer, while a great tool for debugging internal stuff, is also quite the wide door to getting hacked if someone every ma…

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/gcc... has some looong select/case things with lots of ifs in them, but I don't think they would hit 30k.

One thing could also be that by the time you have 10GE uplinks, shaping is not as important. When we had 512kbit links, prioritizing VOIP would be a thing, and for asymmetric links…

Yeah, someone wrote along the lines of "userland sets the rules, the kernel enforces them" which I thought was a neat short version.

They will just move to a low-price country in Asia with their $100 and .. or not.

Sounds like you would run into E=mc^2 for your "lets just not have mass and stuff solves itself". The words "easily" here and there have a lot of work in front of them. For the Alc…

Unfortunately it talks a lot of how they shoot lasers and get the plasma to emit a lot of energy, but less on how they are to turn this into electricity to first feed the reactor i…

I think NTFS get a bit of crap from the OS above it adding limitations. If you read up on what NTFS allows, it is far better than what Windows and the explorer allows you to do wit…

And if you time travel to the 90s, this is what amiga owners with 1M ram said about PC/Win users needing 8,16,32M of ram to paint a few icons on the monitor. But noone listened the…

For some people, when you are not taking over the whole machine (as you would do in demos and games), then replacing the OS with something that gives you memory protections and vir…
