Even if you go with one IPv4 per household + 1 per company you're going to be hard stretched to find room for that in 32 bits, at least after you add the routing infrastructure.

That's very elitist and unfair to people who previously struggled to form their words but now have a better chance at doing so.

It doesn't pass the file contents at all, it passes the file path.

I think "oh this looks like it could be made generic" is the wrong time to convert to generics. You should convert when you reach the point "I wish I had that code but with this ot…

Only if the salt is kept secret. There also needs to be a different salt value per ip, obviously. But given those conditions, it works. Of course, it would be just as simple to use…

IMO, while their use cases do overlap, LXC is more geared towards a user installing things while Docker is more geared towards a developer creating a ready to use package. LXC crea…

In languages with closures it would be easy to set a variable to the lambda while that same variable is also captured by the lambda. In fact, this seems to happen once in a while i…

I believe you're thinking of the AppleDouble files with name ._file. Those haven't really been used for the past 10 years or so (unless you run software older than that, obviously)…

Indeed, direnv and asdf integrates, such that PATH is set to the values exposed by your .tool-config. This avoids the asdf shim and makes executing the tools slightly faster. Good …

Before I learnt what it really means I always imagined it as a blowtorch heating things up, which sort of fits the original but obviously has a much wider scope. So maybe GP has th…

Right. Neither am I, so take this with a grain of salt. But I'd use "committee decision" in this case.

It was using IPv6 in IP, just like 6to4, protocol 41. I haven't heard it called a political issue before though. It just had problems, like being blocked in firewalls and security …

What, no. It's not GNU/Linux if there's no GNU software present.

Hasn't there always been a 10 user limit? That's what I remember at least.

A string, ISO 8601, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601 Preferably RFC3339 (which is a specific profile of ISO 8601) but, as noted in a sibling comment, it isn't always appropri…

Ubuntu supports Google Drive out of the box, it appears in the file manager. Probably it's Gnome doing the actual work, I haven't really bothered to learn it well.

Coffee cups as measured on the brewing machine is only about half that size. OTOH, the researcher says 1-2 cups is the normal amount in the article. To me that implies a larger cup…

I wrote an Entity-Container system that really could've benefitted from a generic Get function. Instead I had to write on for each entity-type, even though they were the same excep…

Dystopian Sci-Fi being anti-capitalist? Wow, what a crazy idea.

As someone who doesn't know Rust yet I feel there's a "do this instead" missing to point 8. It's not clear to me how to do it instead.

In my experience the hardest part of using parser generators is to have them create understandable errors. Also it's questionable that they add very much. Parsing text isn't all th…

Primarily disk access is a lot slower, even with Hyper-V. Eg. Compilation suffers from this. But tasks that don't use the disk too much shouldn't be that bad.

MacPorts is sponsored by Apple, or at least used to be.
