I don't think this is true; I am running Microsoft 365 and use AWS Route 53 and manually set up DNS records to work with Microsoft 365 just fine.

For me it's clearly Vim. Changed my life for the better.

MAD even had an impact on Donald Knuth; his first publication was in fact "The potrzebie system of weights and measures" in 1957, defining the basic unit, the potrzebie, to be exac…

Hehe! Thanks for the clarification -- I wondered if everyone was going bananas over at your company! This explains it (:

Very interesting indeed; but somehow I was even more baffled at the package names they seem to be using: com.netflix.vulturemonkey.cow.iguana.MacawSquirrel com.netflix.ape.serpent.…

I've read this a long time ago and it seems to be still mostly true! A more recent statement of Knuth about email is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QS8qwMna8_o

The CEPL [0] project could be of interest to you! Pretty great approach to OpenGL from CL. [0] https://github.com/cbaggers/cepl

I completely agree and one could theoretically do away with things like ANGLE! Though, I also suspect that the implementor's overhead is rather large in contrast to the current way…

Yes, it would be great, but it is most likely not happening anytime soon. As previously discussed on the WebGL mailinglist, Vulkan is strictly (and rightfully, wrt performance) wor…

I am somehow reminded of a snippet of a Jesse Schell talk back in 2010 [1] when he predicted convergence of technology in the pocket ... I, too, suspect devices are going to conver…

Indeed compliance is an issue with IRC, but you don't need to write an IRCd to log all messages and you don't even need to configure IRC services: you could just use InspIRCd [1] (…

Great idea! But wouldn't it be best to restrain the output of htop to a few interesting processes that are running without root privileges. It seems to me that it could be possible…

There was a recent HN topic here on the redox-os[0] which is written in Rust (and heavy WIP). It did actually use a lot of unsafe, though. [0] https://github.com/redox-os/redox

As Knuth himself said, literate programming facilitates the task of thinking about a problem without having to use a formal language to construct such understanding bottom-up. Ther…

Nice work and thanks for sharing. I'd like to add this blog post [1] I read a while ago that explains a bit how to write a disassembler and emulator for Chip-8. The source is not a…

Does anyone know whether the JVM/JIT generates SIMD instructions for code like this? Looks like a pretty obvious target to me.

This is a pretty neat concept; I've come across this some years back in bisqwit's video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxZyxxHOw3Y - he call's it "enfragmentation".
