It’s been years since, but I bought on Amazon a bag of 8 different ends that work everywhere in the world. It wasn’t from Apple, but it’s basically a plastic shape and 2 or 3 (depe…

It’s been years since captcha was contributing to labeling.

That’s awesome. But a guide that does not include a howto for alerting (such as the one linked) is incomplete.

That’s comforting to know; that wasn’t true in the past for ext4 over lvm (is it true now?). But what is that command? And how do you know which disk has gone bad? I am sure I can …

Indeed. Didn’t notice and it’s too late to edit now.

I still pay for snooty, and the reason for that is that when a disk goes bad (not if; when) I pop its tray out, replace the disk, pop the tray with the disk back in, click a couple…

What you seem to be saying is “I want no precedence or associativity - I just want explicit parentheses everywhere” which is a fine choice. But not a common one. The reason APL mad…

APL / K / J (and friends) evaluate things "left-of-right" (could be thought of as "right-to-left"), that is 1+2 3-4 is parsed 1+(2 (3-4)) - there is no operator precedence. It is w…

My guess would be because too many users held out with Win10, are not really a potential income stream, and MS would rather keep them MS customers than Linux or Mac (their next mac…

Modern OSes randomize WiFi MAC addresses unless you ask them not to, and also do some randomization on BT MAC address.

More like a moment that the guys can’t come because each one was independently struck by a lightning.

IIRC, this law was a result of Ted Arrison giving up his US citizenship very shortly before death, saving a few billions for his heirs. The law was hastily passed to discourage cop…

When and why did Gandi stop being recommendable?

It is very insecure unless you use dnssec, isn’t it? Just means an attacker also needs to mitm DNS if you MITM the host. Not trivial, but depending on setup might not be harder.

They do, until a configuration endless loop brings down their production system. This is not really different than C vs Rust, or even Perl regular expressions (unbounded execution …

Many domains are better served by a more limited programming language, so you can analyze a program and/or make guarantees about it. Real regexes (actually regular…) are infinitely…

A critique of the KisMATH paper. Bottom line: Headline-claim inflation factor: roughly 3x–4x

Benzion’s son (and Elisha’s nephew) Benjamin Netanyahu is the Israeli prime minister.

Ahhm. At previous $DAYJOB, I inherited a WPF app written in 2012; I stumbled upon several WONTFIX bugs through the years - mostly having to do with shared memory bitmaps, having to…

That was a late edition. I have working DVD drives that will happily read anything on a disc, even if they can’t decode it. Newer drives I bought will refuse reading what they won’…

Good Luck!

KDB v1 is from sometime in the late 1990’s (I met v2 in 2002; but v1 was internal use only at some investment bank). But that follows A and A+ which were extremely column oriented …

The existing laws are rarely well specified enough for precise enforcement, often on purpose. You cannot have precise enforcement with imprecise laws. It’s as simple as that. The H…

I mean that it already appears in the Bible, in old Hebrew (which is close to, but isn’t exactly Aramaic), with the meaning “to feed and provide” - and I did not find any documenta…
