I work on Truffle for more than 10 years and I recently wrote a comment on hackernews using Futurama instead of Futamura. That comment had it wrong twice.
That's the way I have been saying it in my head this whole time! Think you have enough weight with the team to get them to officially change their terminology?
I never heard of ULA before, and it sounded a bit overwhelming at first. But on a Fritz!Box with recent firmware, it's very easy to enable, and voila! - just works.
Yep! ULA should be thought of as the IPv6 equivalent of RFC 1918 space... with the added bonus that -unlike with IPv4- ULA prefixes are very unlikely to collide, so merging internal networks will very rarely require renumbering.
My first multiprocessor system was one of those! Two Duron CPUs, "upgraded" to think they were AthlonMPs. Worked pretty well, but it used a lot of power. I burned through two PSUs in 18 months (admittedly, both were not exactly top-shelf).
I had this too but with athlon xp dual core a real like pro :) one time my psy burned some pins in motherboard I see the atx spec and found that is the power signal only well I replaced the psu with a proper watts and made used a clip to fill the gap of the burned side of the motherboard and this running’s well for 2y after a finnaly upgraded to core 2 duo generation
Funny story, I wound up finding a bunch of my old Mac-formatted Zip disks a few months ago, and trying to extract data off of them was a wild, tangled mess of external SCSI enclosures, `ddrescue`, and then quick archiving it up onto the NAS before the drive or disk started making the famous clicking noises. Blows my mind we lived like that.
I have a USB floppy drive. 20 years ago, I saved it from being thrown out at work, and now I still have it. Well, I assume it works, haven’t actually used it in long time
Agreed. Over the past couple of years, I have stumbled across numerous indicators that a wide variety of animals have at the very least more complex inner processes and experiences than naturalists of old would have given them credit for.
Anyone who has spent any significant amount of time living with a dog or a cat will confirm that their four-legged companions behave very much as if they had emotions analogous to our own. That they remember us individually, have favorite spots to rest, individual personality traits.
Ants don't have hobbies, of course, and I doubt they spend their evenings pondering the meaning of life. But viewing them as purely mechanical automata misses a big part of their lives.
I don't follow the line of logic at all .. just because something higher up the "consciousness tree" exists, it doesn't mean that other stuff lower than it is also conscious. If that's the case, then every animal on earth is conscious because humans exist and are conscious. How much or how little a human or a dog is conscious has no bearing on how conscious an ant is.
Apparently Oracle has stopped caring, new Solaris releases haven't been certified in a few years, says Wikipedia.
I don't really know what the certification gets you these days other than bragging rights. I imagine in the past, government and corporate customers had check lists that included a box for "certified Posix", but I'm not sure if that is still the case.
It is/was a useful credential to have when responding to government RFPs as governments had purchased UNIX systems and wanted new systems to be interoperable. This might no longer be an advantage in most requests but my guess is there are still some that require it.
