I was wondering about how they came to the conclusion that they violated the copyright, so I went to check if they did the AGPL[1] with some extra clauses in it. Turns out they didn't, but they did change[2] it[3] in an interesting wa

While I too love the promise of Nix, I never was able to handle the configuration of nix. And at this point I've given up on it. What I wonder is if there is a medium between Nix's build everything from the ground up, and the tra

I know this has nothing to do with the RFC, but I wonder what RFC 10000 will be. I'm just hoping for some sort of joke RFC like TCP over Avian Carriers or the Oops I'm A teapot.

The ultimate reason is there isn't economic reason so. It cost's a lot to recycle anything, and most electronics would net you almost nothing valuable. Let's look at an example. Let's say your phones main board, which

This is all possible and quite neat to dive into the specifics, but if you really want to be able swap a std lib call, just turn it into a variable and change it. // code.go var now = time.Now // code_test.go

The AI songs do suck, but what's even worse is that I can't block artists on Spotify or YouTube. My only recourse was to down vote each song individually, which didn't prevent the songs from showing up, just "Showed my

So will this make EA less evil or more? They have shepherded so many great IPs, but also have been on the forefront of sleaze practices. There has to be plenty of money just squeezing those IPs or using the talent in making new things, but

Think of irrationality as a form of infinite precision, such that no matter how many numbers you write down it’s always an approximation because there is always a more precise form. Now think of the number of sides as increasing your preci

I wish podman was more common in documentation. Want to use podman with your CI platform, it will probably work with socket compatibility but good luck finding instructions and anyone know if it’s tested. How about using some service with p

It's true, but also if you go look at their product catalog you will see none of their direct attach cables are longer then 5m, and the high bandwidth ones are 2m. So, again, it's true, but also limiting in other ways.

So the findings here do make sense. For sub 5m cables directly connecting two machines is going to be faster then having some PHY in between that has to resignal. I'm surprised that fiber is only 0.4ns/m worse then their direct

Can a project exit cleanly, probably not. What I'm really disappointed with the CNCF in particular was the lack of support I felt from them. I mean a trade organization is going to do trade organization things like Kubecon, but they c

I appreciate that people have started to think about this already, but could I propose an alternative system. Borrowed from Warhammer 40k The Long Now was founded in 998.M1. It's a little jarring at first, but that would easily get u

This behavior can be replicated with any class that has two special methods: __neg__ that returns -1 and __sub__ that accepts ints and returns 1-other. For example if you make this class: class _: def __neg__(self): re

I wonder if there is a WAF that has an exponential backoff and constant decay for delay. Something like start a 10us and decay 1us/s.

I want to start off with that I do think the goal of this RFC is a laudable one, and anything that follows shouldn't be taken as a damnation of it. If you are on the fence if you should implement security.txt just do it. This article i

I was excited to see that not only does this article cover other languages, but that this error happens in go. I was a bit surprised because map access is generally protected by a race detector, but the RedBlack tree used doesn't stor

It usually starts with blindly suggesting we should get on cloud. Usually with no other reason than "Everyone else is doing it". That usually ends with a large pile of cash burnt and maybe a thought piece or two about how cloud is

The number of bytes is still hard to do right. For example if I have a payload that can only be 4000 bytes, how do I take an arbitrary utf-8 string and get one that is <= 4000 bytes and doesn't cut off a graphmeme cluster?
