ahh - I see where my dots weren't connecting, then. I pictured having a current driver on each plane, so the data bits coming in would be enable bits for the current drivers. Which obviously means 18xQty current…
Can I confess I've never quite wrapped my head around the application of the 'inhibit' line in this? If a write cycle is just a read cycle with a) a reversed polarity and b) you don't care about the contents of the…
It’s probably worth noting it’s (2002) too. The internet was a different audience.
Was C really later? I thought UNIX had been ported before it made it to Berkeley.
yeah, software travelled exactly the same way as rumours that such and such had a rib removed - remarkably effectively. Also the same way we got viruses, long before anyone I knew had the Internet.
Sligo's not _that_ bad.
Yeah it's pretty much a John Smith, which I assume was half the point, and is now most the problem.
I tried similar. Each command looped 5 times, ignore the best and worst times, and average the mean three. journalctl >/tmp/all.log 0m59.763s journalctl | grep -c sshd 0m57.767s (otherwise >all is the only example…
I have a couple of devices that are 12V over usb-c. The devices themselves are fine, but the wallwarts the mffr provided are just that - 12v over usb-c. No PD. If a device is expecting 5V, there's a healthy chance it'll…
I'm curious if there's a reason this six-cell mechanism has become the defacto? It seems this should just be a single input field styled appropriately, but it feels like there must be an underlying reason I'm missing.
This feels like a good place to reel out my favourite anecdote; community college IT (or for the natives; BTEC), 1998; our programming tutor told us to "ignore the internet" because it's a fad. Almost 30 years, and…
SNDMSG-over-ftp pre-dates UUCP by 5 years, so I think that one's pretty clear-cut. (Not that I'm claiming anything's original here, ftp & smtp are both in the nwg/ietf family tree, which makes it easy to draw parallels.…
It used to be even more literally so - network mail started off as using FTP to SNDMSG onto a remote system instead of your own. In RFC475, FTP has MAIL and MLFL (mailfile) commands to support this. I think it's neat…
I think what really stands out about this, is that having it installed as a pre-made brick is very cost-effective. But this cost-effective route isn't readily available to most people, as most people don't build homes.…
It may amuse you to know they're both essentially the same thing. GBP is formally Pound Sterling, formerly 1 pound (tower pound / 20 troy ounces) of Sterling Silver. Which is why £ is a stylised L.
2100 entries over 40 years is pretty much a show a week. Talk about artefacts of a life well lived.
Sigur Ros have a surprising number of shows on their ftp, which is delightfully retro.
I think it's interesting that traditionally Ireland used a different calendar for seasons - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_calendar So Winter is Nov, Dec, Jan - and Spring is Feb, March, April. Which honestly,…
The last one is so close to the point. Iran had Internet blackouts earlier this year, Russia has been experimenting with the same - options like shortwave are just as relevant as ever.
I think "odious" really undersells it. A free press is an important part of a functioning democracy. What's the use in being able to vote against people doing wrong, if no-one's allowed to tell you about the wrong?
> Now that you can't beat people to death with IBM hardware, what do you use instead? I believe IBM hardware is still applicable for this, the Thinkpad just isn't IBM hardware anymore.
I have to admit - I still grind my teeth every time I see "dns propagation" used without a direct follow-up that it's a myth, you're looking at cascading cache expiry. Propagation might be a useful way to visualise it,…
Compelled speech is protected, fingerprints aren't. Imagine it's 1926 and none of this tech is an issue yet. The police can fingerprint and photograph you at intake, they can't compel speech or violate the 5th. That's…
later, like 1956? The world's first commercial HDD was 5,000,000 characters.
> with the context mostly being HDD manufacturers who want to inflate their drive sizes This is a myth. The first IBM harddrive was 5,000,000 characters in 1956 - before bytes were even common usage. Drives have always…
