It’s interesting that the author lands on an API much like the function signature for TAP (Test Anything Protocol). ok( conditional, message ); https://testanything.org/

Sadly, I think things like distcc or ccache have mostly gone out of mode. Vertically scaling (multi core, multi thread, multi TB RAM build machines) and simple artifact caching have won for now. Artifact caching with dependency tracking i

I was not impressed by author’s surprise that original emulation ran at 1/10th speed. For the past 50 years, that’s usually the target for calling (“unaccelerated”) emulation good enough. Especially for architectures that are current

My favorite trick with this feature is pairing it a timeout # Connection successful: $ timeout 1 bash -c 'cat < /dev/null > /dev/tcp/google.com/80' $ echo $? 0

I have one those Librex as well. It was fun to play with when it came into my hands back in 1997.

I agree. It's also the evil that created the need and improvements like SSL/TLS, ssh, gzip, bzip2, lz4, Linux, etc. and so many other worthwhile innovations.

I'd presume we're almost all using the Web primarily on some employer's dime (except where we are self-employed but it still applies). Prior to the Web 1.0, I remember interacting with people/managers that discouraged r

Flash succeeding is subjective. There were many who were hostile to Flash (and Java) for a long time. I actively disabled the Flash plugin except when necessary. HTML not passing the criteria doesn't negate it from being the current

I think we could learn from an old (gone?!) Google+ post from Ian Hickson on what could possibly replace HTML but a lot of the criteria applies to Web/Internet as a whole ( https://www.sitepoint.com/will-html-ever-be-rep

I remember way back when, there were ports of SDL 1.x to djgpp. Glad to see someone still cares.

I say this as someone who likes and use TinyCoreLinux and PiCore, there are some mind numbing ways TCL makes immutability work. I chalk this up to Linux and immutability being sometimes in contention with each other. Lots of Linux code ma

I had the same inclination back in the 90s when I upgraded my Cyrix 486 SLC2 50MHz without a heat sink (which seems like a no-no in retrospect) to Cyrix MediaGX 133MHz. The stocker fan was immediately noticeable. I thought I had done some

There’s several other (well) known examples of the use of mujs. There’s Artifex’s interpreter from muPDF. It’s also the basis of several JS related projects: https://mujs.com/ There’s also a lesser known interpreter: htt

Maybe you’re misremembering or referring to Doom (2016). The original Doom was developed for DOS and id had to build a lot of its own network stack. BSD style socket based networking wasn’t a given in DOS. Still, zclaw is an impressive ac

I don't feel like RedHat had to do anything to sell support contracts in this case, because that was already their business. All they had to do was say they'll include container support as part of their contracts. Correct

VGA color palette was 18-bits/256K, but input into the palette was 8-bit per channel. (63,63,63) is visibly different from (255,255,255). http://qzx.com/pc-gpe/tut2.txt http://qzx.com/pc-gpe/

Not true. You can enable “Mount Mode of Operation: TCE/Install” where packages will be mounted off disk. See: http://www.tinycorelinux.net/concepts.html

I don't know about CSI cameras. My use case for TCL doesn't require a CSI camera. But it looks like others have made a CSI camera work: https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,26713.0.html I recomme

There’s an installation option to run apps off disk. It’s called “The Mount Mode of Operation: TCE/Install”.

I love Tiny Core Linux for use cases where I need fast boot times or have few resources. Testing old PCs, Pi Zero and Pi Zero 2W are great use cases.

Only if they never call DOS or the BIOS or execute a Real Mode Software Interrupt. When they do, they ask the DPMI server (which could be an OS like Windows 9x or CWSDPIM) to make the call on their behalf. In doing so, the DPMI server wil
