In the past Vivaldi used their own user agent string and they ran into a bunch of issues. And they are a chrome derivative! They had to default to the chrome user agent. Here are t…

It depends on what you are looking for. My recommendation for learning "how is X done in a shell" is the OpenBSD ksh: https://github.com/ibara/oksh It's what they use for /bin/sh, …

I just would get a different teacher. Not every teacher is a good fit for every student. To me it sounds like you were not using the proper technique or didn't warm up enough and y…

I don't know much about Turkey, but I assume they are referring to Erdogan. Turkey was a pretty solid democracy and he turned it into an authoritarian regime. Erdogan also has some…

There currently is a patch for adding '-S' to OpenBSD and in the discussion, the one who came originally up with it commented on how he added it to FreeBSD: "IIRC, the catalyst for…

I agree completely. I also know that distros patch packages. But for unzip the situation is particularly bad because it has no maintainer. Normally, you would raise feature request…

I wasn't trying to imply that unzip is the only one. But the way I learned that unzip is unmaintained was pretty horrible. I found an old zip file I created ages ago on Windows. Ex…

unzip is a special case: upstream development has basically stopped. The last release was in 2009[0]. (That's the version 6.0.) Since then there were multiple issues discovered and…

Somebody once tried to clarify the situation with a similar stunt, but failed spectacularly. From the NOLF Wikipedia page: In May 2014, Nightdive Studios, a publisher of classic PC…

There was a court case about this. Project Gutenberg got sued by a German publishing house for hosting works still copyrighted in Germany. "Although they were in the public domain …

What I learnt is that there is a rest mass and a relativistic mass. The m in your formula is the rest mass. But when you use the relativistic mass E=mc² still holds. And for the re…

In my company the official policy is that nobody but the admins gets administrator privileges. If you need them the workflow is that you go to IT and they do what is necessary. Or …

Yes, per core power consumption or better performance per Watt is usually more relevant than the total power consumption. And 1 high-core CPU is usually better than the same number…

Core counts have increased dramatically. The latest AMD server CPUs have up to 192 cores. The Zen1 top model had only 32 cores and that was already a lot compared to Intel. However…

Of course, it becomes tricky to decide what belongs to a factory or not if you look closely enough. And comparing factory sizes is something inherently silly. But I think that in a…

Volkswagen's main factory is also pretty large: "Spanning more than 6.5 km², the Volkswagen factory in Wolfsburg is now the largest automotive plant in Europe, employing more than …

> I have to admit though that the automatic is way faster than me at changing gears, which helps keeping a constant acceleration and avoid head bobbing. That's because a DSG gearbo…

That's because the selection of numbers is a little bit weird. The 70 billion on the cost side are composed of 38 billion for construction and maintenance, 14 billion for traffic p…

It isn't comparable to the sound barrier, but it was still a challenge. It took significantly longer than it should have if it was just business as usual: "At a supercomputing conf…

Colin Champman's own words: 1. A racing car has only ONE objective: to WIN motor races. If it does not do this it is nothing but a waste of time, money, and effort. This may sound …

I just wanted to make sure that it's clear for everybody. People seem to think that melting iron is easy. All the time I see smiths in movies and TV shows running around with molte…
