    I pressed C-c accidentally during the upgrade(wrong terminal) and it broke the entire system(had to manually change a few files rebuild initramfs to be able to boot). I would take …

    Like another commenter I also use it for initial exploration in uncharted territory. For coding only helpful with autocompleting error strings. Even then, it messes with normal aut…

    Well, no such thing as stable addresses since you don't really own IP addresses, you are leasing from RIR. But, if you are fine with APNIC allocation, see if RIPE PI Allocation is …

    Do you see a green lock with message saying "your access is restricted" in the US? Do you see any TLS connection resets based on SNI? If not, most(all?) indian ISPs already visibly…

    Nobody in india uses SMS to communicate, it is solely used for verification OTP. It's never been a thing, so not sure what you are talking about.

    Can you not mitm the CA's dns lookups for http, tls-alpn challenges and make them sign the certificates for you? How does letsencrypt prevent this? Do they check with multiple reso…

    The difference is if you build tools that can be used to violate existing copyright laws your tool will get taken offline by the same corporations. Yet they are selling one that ca…

    Exactly, it would actually benefit many C/C++ programmers. Some components of NT are very high quality, why not wash their license if the aim is to empower the programmers and also…

    LGPL is open source, the scandal is violating the license agreement.

    You are assuming copying around buffers won't consume any cpu? Maybe it's perfectly fine, maybe it's not. But it needs some experiment before we can handwave it.

    I also think vscode is really good enough for development and has a healthy plugin interface. I only miss my vim navigation when working in it, nothing beats vscode remote mode and…

    It's literally a free game, with no strings attached. The only downside is the game gets heavier on resources with these items when you play with players with these items. Valve is…

    Is that a good trade-off sacrificing fixnum bits? I guess it would make sense when the language is intended for scientific programming.

    The ipv6 routing on major ISP(Jio) that started popularizing it is pretty bad, half of the packets go to singapore and back to india. You often need to explicitly use v4 to get bet…

    A DDoS Protection company doesn't know what the state of the market is? Really? Feigning ignorance on this matter is not very honest. Your aws story is completely irrelevant since …

    We are talking about internet shutdowns not "bans", so how are you going to "circumvent it with a bit of knowledge", unless you plan to break into isps buildings and you need a lic…
