There is also correlation of the elimination of Lead Paint to violent crime. So that may need to be taken into account. Lead Paint elimination started in the Early 70s IIRC, so the same time period :)
I wonder how this correlates to Prostate Cancer. From what I heard, high testosterone can be one of the causes of Prostate Cancer. But that is over a long time. So if levels are falling, is prostate cancer lowering a…
I have had items put there a few time on an fsck. Not often but it has happened.
I was thinking this was directory "lost+found", but it is about "lost and found" at places like airports.
True, but I think that could cause issues for astronomers. Instead if seeing small points of light they could see fast moving black spots obscuring stellar objects. In a way looking like eclipses.
Ones in the List I have used from the list :) * CDC 6600 * DEC VAX 11/780 (IIRC) * Honeywell H200, did not expect to see this on the list * IBM S/370 (IIRC) * Lenovo Thinkpads - 760, T43, T420, T61, W500 * Wang…
I remember hearing a few years ago the Bloomberg Terminal was "redone" to be Windows based. Is that true ? Or do they still run on top of their own OS. I would have thought if they would have move anywhere, it would…
Interesting. I wonder how memory is handled due to the # of potential characters in UTF-8, or maybe only a subset of characters are allowed. Or is there a TSR handling that from a database on disk. I cannot get to the…
Interesting post, it made me wonder. At one time FreeBSD swap usage/logic was far better than what Linux did. Is that still the case ?
I could be wrong, but I really doubt it. No kid under 20 will use a PC or Laptop for anything except for school work. All kids under 20 are on Cell Phones and nothing else. PC usually mean work to them, Cell Phones mean…
Didn't Sony get in trouble for deleting movies from devices ? I guess they want to do the same for their console too. So people should just stop buying games that are not on phyical media. THat will get Sony to change…
Correct, I thing "most isolated island" is the wrong term. I think Bouvet Islandis the "most inaccessible" would have been a better term. A interesting article, I am sure people reading this would love to go there (like…
yes, I always do. But today I had to power it off, I accidentally created a fork bomb changing a couple of scripts on OpenBSD. It did not freeze the system but I could not create any more processes. shutdown(8) could…

Will not build without docker, so I am out of luck. This tells me this is not portable, even to some Linuxes.
As I expected, this is about removing strncpy() from the Linux Kernel, not glib. Removing strncpy() from glib would be awful for applications :) Edit. Meant glibc, thanks mattst88
That works out to 2.5 million per job. This is not the first time this type of thing happened almost looks like a laundering scam. Companies that do this should face real and very expensive consequences. But we know…
No kidding, in that vain, I would say IBM throwing 2B USD at Linux started a revolution.

You can write about these issues all you want, but the fact remains the young do not vote (period). When I was young, the voting age became 18, me and all my friends could not wait until we could vote and we kept it up…
Off to small claims court people should go. Amazon tried something similar and got in trouble because people when after them. And people wonder why some people sail the high seas.
That is too bad, you would think these could be kept active for historical purposes. But seems these services are all being turned off even though I heard a few were very useful in this day and age.
And sad for us. We may have to wait for nice cheap used hardware for use with Linux or *BSD. But I wonder if components would have been stripped out due to AI. I heard even older RAM and SDD/HDD are getting expensive.
These days, I would guess a "tsk-tsk" is said to them. The States need to grow a pair and start arresting these agents who break the law.
