Make that 2036 or whenever there might be a feasible microkernel available outside of niche applications. Better get started on that. Again.

Not sufficiently. Companies aren't keen on taking on new ideas unless it pays. Buzzword matchers only match old buzzwords. People in the trenches are too busy to try new stuff and/or don't want to push new things because of m

I couldn't find anything about donation on the site. Just in case I'm blind, is there one or is subscribing or getting a gift certificate the only way? I should also definitely put lwn on my "charity list".

I also wonder how much difference it makes how often those stories have been recalled for telling or reminiscing or because there's a reminder (like a photo) that brings it up. Maybe people who practice telling stories also get better

Yes. My instructions are basically to destroy or erase everything and don't let any device with storage fall into unknown hands. Not that there is anything there and everything is routinely encrypted, but there is still a chance that s

I think I had a Mystique which may have been a PCI model as well. I remember the signal quality being very visible switching a display from that box into some other one which had some S3 or something. The image looked noticeably blurry or f

My memory says Sun used composite sync in the 13W3. I do remember making some cable mods as well to use monitors across Sun, Sgi, and a few other machines. Some used H+V, some C, some SOG. Maybe thankfully I no longer remember which ones we

Well, population explosions tend to happen in hellholes and sensible declines happen in civilized society. The term happiness of course isn't something you can measure that easily, though.

Why would the most rich and evil company on the field want to own a practical monopoly?

Or the more usual argument: Macos is broken in many ways and you're not allowed to fix it. But you can install some kind of add-on that will sit between you and the broken-as-designed UI and makes it look non-broken.

The thing about SSD failures is that in normal use, you can't wear one out. But in perfectly normal use, some of the units just die after N years (for very small number N in some cases). They don't warn. They don't show incre

While I kind of agree, is there a more debloated replacement?

Yes. Salary is compensation for sacrifice. Many (most, hopefully, but interestingly not all) would rather have less sacrifice than more compensation. Not spending your life doing what someone else wants leaves more life to do what you want

Honda E is a production car with virtual mirrors. I think they're an option on Audi E-tron (R8? GT?) and Lexus ES.

Legal perspective, yes. I'm mostly of the mind that law and reality are almost entirely disconnected with a very small contact patch. And that funnily enough contracts and contract breaches are on the side of reality until someone deci

Not very interesting, complex or far from intended purpose, but using a thing you have at hand to do a thing you don't have something at hand for is the literal meaning of hacking. This is probably the only on-topic post on the front p

I see what you mean, but declaring yourself a king doesn't actually cause anything physical. It'll be make believe with no real consequences. Becoming a slave can essentially physically make you a real slave and both parties of th

I would expect you can actually sell yourself as a slave. The contract won't be binding, since it's illegal and the people involved could be charged if caught. But you could. (IANAL YJMV TIEMFF)

Also amplifiers and capture devices generally only do HDMI. I haven't looked at projectors, lately, but HDMI is The Standard and a desktop computer display is the only exception.

Maybe. I think there's still no chance of repair when it blows up. Only FS since Reiser and early XFS that I've completely lost data to on healthy hardware. Whichever one of my test machines is using btrfs is doing fine, though, s

Well, if you look at the comments, there's clearly a ton of users who want to bash intelligence. No wonder a title like this also gets a lot of posts.
