I also like the aesthetics of OS X versions prior to 10.10. It is hard to find programs that still support older versions though. To make things easier I'm using the more modern macOS 10.14 but installed a few things to…
I'm actually typing this reply on a 2012 MacBook Pro which is still working pretty well. I've also used several recent MacBook models at work so am familiar with those. Things that I like better about the 2012 MacBook…
This depends on how the organization configures things. My company used to allow TOTP so many TOTP apps could be used instead of Microsoft Authenticator but my company disabled that a while ago. Now the only…
Those lunches could add up to something significant over time. If you're paying $10 per lunch for 10 years, that's $36,500 which is pretty comparable to the cost of a car.
Found the page I had mentioned earlier: https://pawitp.medium.com/the-correct-way-to-use-secure-boot... . In the comments Aleksandar mentioned the possibility of using the attack mentioned in this article and the author…
I was reading another web page (I don't have the link unfortunately) several days ago where another reader pointed out to the author the same type of attack mentioned in this article. To address that attack the author…
> But presumably he's writing other files to disk too. Not just that one file. Yes, there will be much more going on than the simple test I was doing. The server will be hosting several VMs running a mix of OSes and…

One reason why it might be a good idea to use higher quality drives when using ZFS is because it seems like in some scenarios ZFS can result in more writes being done to the drive than when other file systems are used.…
Gran Turismo 4 was the last Gran Turismo for the PS2. It also did support networking for LAN gameplay but networking isn't required to play the game.
Additionally, there are multiple reasons why one programming language might have nine different programs: -The programs could have been written by someone who prefers to make small iterations and perform many…
You could certainly make an argument that an easier language allows a programmer to reach a certain skill level faster or maybe even reach a higher peak skill level. By extension you could also argue that, by some…
It's not a good idea to use this site (or the Computer Language Benchmarks Games https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/ that it is partially based off) as an indicator of how may rewrites are…
DreamBerd is a multi-paradigm programming language, which means that you can delete the keywords and paradigms you don't like. delete class! class Player {} // Error: class was deleted When perfection is achieved and…
I was a little puzzled by this compared to what I was used to with Java in the past. It looks like the grandparent's code relies on JEP 445 ( https://openjdk.org/jeps/445 ) which is a preview feature as was mentioned…
You might have an ad blocker installed.
Tarpitting in general can be fun. I have an iptables rule set up on my mail server that limits incoming SMTP traffic from suspected spammers to just three packets per minutes (which is still fast enough for a legitimate…
There are quite a few addons for Firefox for improving Facebook, here are three that I found right away and there are plenty more: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/socialfixer/…
This is one of the major reasons why I try to limit my use of websites for anything important and prefer to use normal, local applications that don't rely heavily on someone else's servers. It's a lot harder for other…
That's kind of interesting that it currently transpiles to C++. I have a suspicion though that using C++ as an intermediate language will probably often result in lower performance, higher memory usage, make debugging…
This is something I want to know too. C++ certainly has some issues like pretty much every programming language does but in the original article Andreas mentions that he wants to make a cross-platform browser and…
I believe this relies on quite a few of the libraries in SerenityOS and according to one of the lines [1] in one of the build scripts for that it looks like Clang 13 will be required as a bare minimum. The Serenity…
In addition to the reasons that mholt mentioned in response to your question, enabling HTTP/GZIP compression could possibly be less secure for some web server configurations due to things like the BREACH attack. See…
There was a research paper at https://greenlab.di.uminho.pt/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/sle... a few years ago that attempted to evaluate the energy efficiency of many programming languages and that paper got a moderate…
I think some more effort should be made in getting the default memory usage down to a more reasonable level. This site https://programming-language-benchmarks.vercel.app/problem/h... shows a simple Hello World Julia…
