Ctrl-x e in zsh is '_expand_word'. The function you are talking about is 'edit-command-line', which is not loaded or bound to any key by default in zsh. You have to load it manuall…

gmaslov is clearly talking about the OpenSSH trust model. You are confusing it with the Trust On First Use model, which is not the same thing.

Wrong. The OpenSSH model implies that you check the fingerprint of the public key before you send encrypted data using that key. That is why SSH shows you the fingerprint of the se…

Calendar does have a custom view, which defaults to showing the next "4 Days" (hint), available in the bar at the top of the calendar view. You can change it to 7 days if you like …

Also, the PDF format is already compressed. Compressing it again with zip or gzip is a little strange.

For the users, it is either this or no movie player for them. No movie player means a big product disadvantage compared to competitors, which is very bad for Google as a company. T…

No, I have read it in its integrity the first time it came around, a few years ago. Please, stop judging people.

I could use your argument to describe pretty much any modern compiler or framework. "It is extremely hard to write a fast, reliable Java SDK that generates good error messages.", f…

Most, if not all, of his arguments were already beaten to death. The rebuttal should be floating around somewhere on the Internet, but I couldn't find it with a quick search right …

> The bitching about bad compile time errors has been mostly fixed in clang. Yes, IOW, it is a compiler problem, not a language problem. Because one particular compiler is horrible…

This is not the expected transition plan to IPv6. You do not turn IPv4 off. During the first phase of the transition period, new users are supposed to run IPv4 and IPv6 side-by-sid…

Tip: Point your customers to http://omgipv6day.com/ , now. The site will tell if your Internet access will be fine on World IPv6 day. A positive answer means that you either have I…

Note: in your case, customer means ISP. From what I remember, the instructions were that ISPs receive no less than /32, which should provide end-users either /48 or /56. End users …

Sorry, the correct number was 3986. RFC 3986 - Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax

Yes. RFC 3986, sections 6.2.2.2 and 6.2.3.

Except for the schema and host parts (which are not part of robots.txt anyway) URLs are case sensitive (ref: RFC 3986, sections 6.2.2.2 and 6.2.3). The problem here is that Microso…

No way! It took us almost 20 years to start moving towards IPv6, at great costs. It was better to exaggerate on the address space so that to we don't have to bother with another tr…

You mentioned twice that IPv6 addresses aren't scalar in this discussion. Why? Are you talking about the scope identifier or the flow label? The scope identifier is not used by the…
