Something this API gets right is having a unified interface for both IPv4 and IPv6. With the sockets API, you have to decide for one of them. Changing isn't easy as the constants and structures are all named differently. While it'

There are already other RFCs regarding the socket API, such as RFC3493 (IPv6 socket API).

The optimal block size is probably the the amount of data which can be transferred with one DMA operation. For NVMe disks on Linux, you can find out this size with the nvme-cli [0] tool. Use "nvme id-ctrl" to find the Maximum Data

You have to trust some hardware, but not necessarily the full stack you listed above. For example, chipTAN is commonly used in Germany to verify online banking. You have to trust the chip on the banking card and the card reader, but not y

This is exactly what the "block third-party cookies" option does. It really should be enabled per default, possibly with a permission prompt for cases where they are useful. The interesting thing here is that third-party cookies u

Not really liberal - leaving out those tags is perfectly fine according to the specification and all compliant browsers will create the same DOM from it.

Is it really? Apart from the missing port-forwarding, DS-Lite seems to be one of the better solutions to the IPv4 shortage to me. There's only a single NAT at the ISP, the local router tunnels IPv4 packages directly to the AFTR. For pe

Looking at the source code, it's actually licensed under the GPLv3 as well, so the software seems to be free, just the resources and game content aren't.

But the thing is that a game targeting Windows XP or even Windows 98 still has a good chance of running on Windows 10. On the Linux side, good luck getting binaries made for Ubuntu 14.04 run on Ubuntu 16.04.

I'd guess that they track keys which appear on reseller sites. So the "bad actor" comes from later use, not from e.g. stolen Bitcoins.

Nice to know that they're working on better HiDPI support. GTK 3 for some reason has two separate HiDPI settings, but one of them only supports integer scaling factors. Additionally, there is no way to specify different factors for eac

Tmux supports this as well, just use "tmux new-session -t xy" instead of "tmux attach-session -t xy".

Did you look into the EventSource API? It's basically automatic long-polling with a simple file format built into the browser. It supports pretty much every "real-time" pattern: regular polling, long polling, and streaming. T

As I understand it (from reading the README) it's storing SHA(chunk) -> Enc(chunk) in its database. When adding to the backup, it checks whether SHA(chunk') is already there. Thus, it doesn't have to look at the encrypted

Note that your protocol isn't actually a zero-knowledge proof. While transcripts can be made up, a third person observing everything Gavin does would absolutely be convinced by the exchange. For real interactive zero-knowledge proof, e

I don't think there's a data center there, it's probably just where all nodes in Germany end up which don't have more accurate geolocation.

I don't quite understand how that works. Surely there wasn't a crowd of 3000 people at the bottom of the escalator when people were walking on the left? Where do the extra people come from?

Do you actually use Java like this on any non-trivial project? This is intended to be a high-level tool that can be used as an alternative to IDEs.

Ah, cool - I will try it then. My motivation for not requiring root is shared hosting: I have a regular user witch access to an Apache webroot directory. They didn't fully automate Let's Encrypt, but they provide a script which in

I'm a bit confused about the "non-root support" -- the (somewhat lengthy) setup manual absolutely seems to require root to set up users and directories in the root filesystem. In contrast, the official client can absolutely w

Most non keyboard instruments have ways to adjust the pitch slightly per interval while playing, allowing experienced players to play all intervals perfectly.

Which browser are you using? On Android, both Firefox and Chrome have the option to increase the font size, allowing you to read comments without zooming in. The lack of text reflow when zooming in is really annoying though.

Press freedom is part of the German Grundgesetz (the constitution) as well, so there's really no difference here.

This makes the switch to IBAN very simple - it's just the country code, a checksum and whatever numbers were in use before the switch. Local businesses can still ask for the old numbers and then transform them to IBAN.

They don't actually generate the key on the server but use the keygen element. This generates a key in the browser and doesn't send it to the server.

Yes, it's a special search engine: https://www.haskell.org/hoogle/ You don't search for words in the documentation etc., but enter the type of the function you want. This often works pretty well.
