It depends on what you're using for the resolver. I'm assuming you only care about gethostbyname(3) and friends. With glibc that means nss; generally you're also looking at libnss_dns.so, which uses glibc's resolv (copie

The better analogy in this case would be to an AmazonBasics USB cable, not to a phone charger. Are there issues when anyone can provide a product? Yes. But this would certainly not involve Amazon opening the storefront to allow selling any

I'm deeply saddened to hear that the Seattle Mystery Bookshop is closing. This feels like something easily missed in today's automation-based economy; the ability to go to an expert and get quality recommendations is not to be mis

Quite excited by the "high-performance audio API". Could drive a different consumer segment.

If you want to, you can just go visit an FC and get a tour, you know. It's not exactly closed. http://www.amazon.com/b?node=8947548011

I usually skip the Rite of Spring, but love every other piece. Probably because I was trying to watch the visuals too hard instead of listening. But the important thing to remember about Fantasia is that it's not a coherent story, it&#

There's no problem with that. Assume the key material isn't compromised, since you have to assume that. You imply that Apple is going to keep using the cert until 2035. I can assure you they won't.

The company I work for is in the process of migrating off of SHA-1 certs, and the amount of due diligince that has to go into this sort of an upgrade is incredible. It involves analyzing full logs of all supported client enctypes and tracki

If I were trying to drive adoption of a connector that has objectively better performance characteristics (high current draw for fast charging), I too wouldn't provide a legacy cable that doesn't exhibit those benefits. I know the

Reading the reviews, it looks like there's basically one complaint. Ports/devices with older connectors (USBA, mini-B, micro-B, B) aren't necessarily going to be able to (or supposed to be able to) handle a 3A current draw. A

You can also move to Seattle, which has classic hand-rolled, boiled, delicious bagels at one local store. I can confirm that they taste _much_ better. And are more expensive.

You're right, but where I work almost anything can cause a bug that affects users. Pre-review eliminates some of those bugs. I would not move to this workflow, although it's interesting to hear from somewhere that it works.

DLL hell certainly used to be a big issue in Windows. But I disagree that it remains a major factor; Windows apps are increasingly bundled and Windows system functions that used to be the cause of these issues, like DirectX, are packaged as

I would suspect the point is rather that you have a bunch of megabyte range files, and you rarely update them and don't have to sync. But for most workflows this feature seems targeted at, the free tier seems insufficient.
