It depends on what you're using for the resolver. I'm assuming you only care about gethostbyname(3) and friends. With glibc that means nss; generally you're also looking at libnss_…

The better analogy in this case would be to an AmazonBasics USB cable, not to a phone charger. Are there issues when anyone can provide a product? Yes. But this would certainly not…

I'm deeply saddened to hear that the Seattle Mystery Bookshop is closing. This feels like something easily missed in today's automation-based economy; the ability to go to an exper…

Quite excited by the "high-performance audio API". Could drive a different consumer segment.

This reminded me of In the Reign of Harad IV[1]. [1]: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2006/04/10/in-the-reign-of...

If you want to, you can just go visit an FC and get a tour, you know. It's not exactly closed. http://www.amazon.com/b?node=8947548011

I usually skip the Rite of Spring, but love every other piece. Probably because I was trying to watch the visuals too hard instead of listening. But the important thing to remember…

The company I work for is in the process of migrating off of SHA-1 certs, and the amount of due diligince that has to go into this sort of an upgrade is incredible. It involves ana…

If I were trying to drive adoption of a connector that has objectively better performance characteristics (high current draw for fast charging), I too wouldn't provide a legacy cab…

Reading the reviews, it looks like there's basically one complaint. Ports/devices with older connectors (USBA, mini-B, micro-B, B) aren't necessarily going to be able to (or suppos…

Eltana.

You can also move to Seattle, which has classic hand-rolled, boiled, delicious bagels at one local store. I can confirm that they taste _much_ better. And are more expensive.

You're right, but where I work almost anything can cause a bug that affects users. Pre-review eliminates some of those bugs. I would not move to this workflow, although it's intere…

DLL hell certainly used to be a big issue in Windows. But I disagree that it remains a major factor; Windows apps are increasingly bundled and Windows system functions that used to…

I would suspect the point is rather that you have a bunch of megabyte range files, and you rarely update them and don't have to sync. But for most workflows this feature seems targ…
