I work in "lowest level" kernel development, and we're certainly operating at that layer. As for those kind of hacky solutions, we do try to avoid them, because they are, well, hac…

Try Haskell.

Sweet. What changes to Hercules have you been considering? I have had a long running (and maintained!) MVS instance in Hercules for quite a few years now, just for fun.

It's a simple word that does the job. No need to overthink it.

He's basically a rock star here. (And well deservedly so.)

There’s a bunch of free character roms as well.

Great project! Kudos for figuring out all that stuff on your own. Assuming you are actually reading these comments, a few suggestions: * C compilers that can target 16 bit x86 usua…

I did not mean it’s a trick users applied, I meant that the developers of the 1541 DOS implemented this very trick. You load a textual representation of the directory into memory a…

No, that was BASIC 2.0, and using any DOS commands was extremely awkward. With the notable exception of listing the directory, which was pretty easy through a trick from the disk d…

Yeah, but you can still talk to other hosts on the same link, not just the router, at any layer protocol. Link local addresses are not routable, but if you want to talk on the same…

Impressive, but I always wonder how much stability testing goes into these overclocks. With just the stock tools, I can push my GeForce pretty far (relatively spoken, absolutely no…

You can use link local for whatever you want, I don't think there's a restriction, is there? Even though it's rare, I actually do use it if I want to talk to another host on a very…

Why don't you just use the IPv6 address directly then? Phrased differently, what's better about IPv4 in your particular case that makes it worthwhile to only use IPv6 for "bootstra…

Absolutely it is. But still, the colons and brackets often make things awkward, leading not only to such compatibility bugs, but to general usability issues. Colons and brackets ar…

Yeah. I think that's actually my one, biggest gripe about IPv6, those damn colons. And those damn brackets that were made to mitigate the colons, that just cause more problems: Jus…

I hear that a lot, but I familiarized myself with it once and ever since it makes a lot of sense to me. Source ending in “/“: You want what’s inside. Source not ending in “/“: You …

You know better, as you have all the information and we merely have a shadow of it, but that in itself still sounds like “standard boilerplate” to me. I remember from my friends wh…

That is exactly the assumption I was operating under, I even called it a "veto". Does not change anything I wrote. (And of course the CEO can override any hiring decision anyway. T…

Good points. My hypothetical had the implicit assumption that the interviewer was acting in good faith when asking the weekend question. But that doesn't mean that interviewers nec…

Well, I have no idea what they actually specifically asked or didn't ask, because the article is light on details. So I just elaborated on what I consider crossing into unacceptabl…

We weren't there, and the article is light on details, so we can only speculate. I see two options here: a) The potential employer vastly overstepped commonly accepted boundaries. …

And even if, for the sake of argument, they legitimately did ask about your personal life instead of your work life... you normally wouldn't answer any of that. (In fact, it could …

I don't know your particular situation, so it might be totally different, but I think this is commonly just a formality and a friendly chat. It's a chance for you to meet the actua…

I guess. This is a good answer, it did made me recontextualize. Maybe it was always that much obvious to me that what should have been a good night of sleep had no, or maybe even a…
