Part of the DOJ ask is that the Google search business should be enjoined from paying for preferential default status on other platforms.

They want to prohibit the Firefox arrangement as part of the anti trust matter.

Whichever speaker is elected in the House on Jan. 3.

Of course. That bro is OG and gonna throw a chair atcha.

Aka “Windows subsystem for Linux”

Also this classic xkcd

Oh no. Are you telling me that an xkcd numbered in the 2000s is a “classic” now? Yikes

So the problem here is this.

1. Imagine that you have terminal cancer, but you’re not a famous virologist.
2. Somebody comes along and offers you untested, experimental treatment injections for the low, low price of $75,000.
3. Gofundme.

I’ve seen exactly that type of scenario play out with my own relatives. It’s a good reason why medical treatments marketed to the public should be proven to be safe and effective.

Even if you do have an MMU, there’s no guarantee that you’ll get a segmentation fault from a memory bug. You can still just get the weird side effects, if you fail to access the incorrect memory.

Undefined behaviour means exactly that. You have no idea what you could get.

Once upon a time, straight outta school, I wrote up solutions to problems from the Serway physics book. For Chegg. $5 per problem.

Fuck Chegg.

Ice cream is always about churning air into cream. But nowadays the air ratio has definitely gone up. Seemingly across the board.

And that assumes that you’re not buying a brand that has gotten into the fakery.

And they are all welcome back if they can satisfy the Linux Foundation that they’re not affiliated with a sanctioned entity on the SDN list.

Compare with the yearly release cycle on cars.

Like any other convention, it’s not really a big deal either way. Fortran gets along just fine with 1-indexing.

Kill -9 is a command on Unix and Linux to send signal 9 (SIGKILL) to a process. That’s the version of kill that is the most reliable and has immediate effect.

Taskkill is a Windows command line program. I believe that taskkill /f uses the TerminateProcess() API. This is more forceful than the End Task button on the Task Manager. There is a different End Process button on the Task Manager that does use TerminateProcess().

TerminateProcess() is pretty reliable, but it doesn’t form part of the C signals stack on Windows like kill -9. So for instance, if you’re doing process control on Python, you need to use a special Windows-only API to access TerminateProcess().

Would a fork be technically viable if Americans and American businesses can’t participate (because the fork works with SDN entities)? Maybe.

The reality is that the Linux Foundation is in the United States, and Linus is a naturalized US citizen who lives in Oregon (at least on Wikipedia). So they both will have to pay attention to avoid transacting business with individuals and companies on the SDN list. That is the law in the United States.

802.11ax, clients just… (essentially) wait for a random amount of time, listen for a break in the signal, and take a leap of faith.

Ethernet originally worked the same way, back when it competed directly against token ring. Ethernet won by being as reliable in real world scenarios while being cheaper to build out. Gigabit Ethernet was the first standard that insisted on full duplex only.

Half duplex mode with the collision avoidance is still actively supported for 10/100, but it is becoming very hard to find an unswitched hub. So you may have to write up your own twisted pair cables.

Really I worked a project once that just had post-its stuck to the wall. It worked as well as Jira does.

Some airlines nowadays are trying to sell the exit row seats at a premium as an upgrade.

We should also mention that if you are uncomfortable with sitting in the exit row, federal regulations require the airline to reseat you in a different row on request. You don’t have to provide a reason why.
