    I was wondering about how they came to the conclusion that they violated the copyright, so I went to check if they did the AGPL[1] with some extra clauses in it. Turns out they did…

    While I too love the promise of Nix, I never was able to handle the configuration of nix. And at this point I've given up on it. What I wonder is if there is a medium between Nix's…

    I know this has nothing to do with the RFC, but I wonder what RFC 10000 will be. I'm just hoping for some sort of joke RFC like TCP over Avian Carriers or the Oops I'm A teapot.

    The ultimate reason is there isn't economic reason so. It cost's a lot to recycle anything, and most electronics would net you almost nothing valuable. Let's look at an example. Le…

    This is all possible and quite neat to dive into the specifics, but if you really want to be able swap a std lib call, just turn it into a variable and change it. // code.go var no…

    The AI songs do suck, but what's even worse is that I can't block artists on Spotify or YouTube. My only recourse was to down vote each song individually, which didn't prevent the …

    So will this make EA less evil or more? They have shepherded so many great IPs, but also have been on the forefront of sleaze practices. There has to be plenty of money just squeez…

    Think of irrationality as a form of infinite precision, such that no matter how many numbers you write down it’s always an approximation because there is always a more precise form…

    I wish podman was more common in documentation. Want to use podman with your CI platform, it will probably work with socket compatibility but good luck finding instructions and any…

    I kept trying to search for is it down sites, and kept getting errors. I think that was a good indicator that my search engine is down.

    It's true, but also if you go look at their product catalog you will see none of their direct attach cables are longer then 5m, and the high bandwidth ones are 2m. So, again, it's …

    So the findings here do make sense. For sub 5m cables directly connecting two machines is going to be faster then having some PHY in between that has to resignal. I'm surprised tha…

    Can a project exit cleanly, probably not. What I'm really disappointed with the CNCF in particular was the lack of support I felt from them. I mean a trade organization is going to…

    I appreciate that people have started to think about this already, but could I propose an alternative system. Borrowed from Warhammer 40k The Long Now was founded in 998.M1. It's a…

    This behavior can be replicated with any class that has two special methods: __neg__ that returns -1 and __sub__ that accepts ints and returns 1-other. For example if you make this…

    I wonder if there is a WAF that has an exponential backoff and constant decay for delay. Something like start a 10us and decay 1us/s.

    The early 90s. I remember a time when you got one address, and found out they could have multiple. It was like black magic.

    I want to start off with that I do think the goal of this RFC is a laudable one, and anything that follows shouldn't be taken as a damnation of it. If you are on the fence if you s…

    I was excited to see that not only does this article cover other languages, but that this error happens in go. I was a bit surprised because map access is generally protected by a …

    I've used both outlooks, Gmail, and a few other clients, and I think the problem isn't that these are all bad but they are all trying to solve a bad problem. So there never will be…

    It usually starts with blindly suggesting we should get on cloud. Usually with no other reason than "Everyone else is doing it". That usually ends with a large pile of cash burnt a…

    While reading this I was struck with an interesting question: What risk does any particular software vendor pose to an industry at large? For example (making up numbers here): if 7…
