IBM doesn't do wacky stuff like Pointer authentication that creeps into every corner of the spec, making everything more complicated …

No. AFAIK AIX only runs on PowerVM systems, which none of the OpenPOWER systems are.

That's an IBM TDP (i. e. maximum ever power), not an Intel TDP (i. e. maximum power at some arbitrary power state declared as 'base clock speed').

Yes but it refers to an electronic musical keyboard, not a computer keyboard, which is indeed „Tastatur”.

Do you have any literature on this being called a pseudo-mode and the tradeoffs between it and "real" modes? I am currently pretty interested in these kinds of topics.

On the other hand, people not only drive, but also oppose progress; as a smarter than me person (don't remember who it was) said: Science advances one funeral at a time (it's basically like evolution). If people stop dying (barring accidents), we'll basically stop advancing as well.

Also, there are function prologues/epilogues and sometimes additional instructions to satisfy the calling convention.

Where did you get that URL? It's not linked on http://idlewords.com/talks/ …

> And good plastics are plastic in the traditional sense of the word: if you drop them, they'll absorb the force by deforming and then spring back into place.

That's not what I was taught plastic meant. I was taught both plastic and elastic materials deform under force, but the elastic ones (not the plastic ones) return to their original form once the force is gone …

That is news to me, and https://getpocket.com/about doesn't mention Mozilla at all … do you have a link to some official announcement?

Works on my Arch …

I do the same with man instead (even though I only used that program like 50 times the last year) … it even happens in any other program where you can input text …

What, you mean return copyright to a state that worked for, what, a century, and which meant that people could actually freely remix things they saw as adolescents within their lifetimes? Blasphemy!

Teletypes, which might have been what people where thinking of in the 60s and early 70s, didn't have a CPU AFAIK.

… but modern phones, watches and TVs are computers …

Writing the template and the content in HTML is easy enough for me, but I'm still struggling to make post lists, feeds and other things out of it without a lot of administrative effort.

As the very home country of Mercedes/Daimler, Opel, Volkswagen and other car manufacturers and the (AFAIK) only unlimited-speed public roads in the world (Autobahn), I (German citizen) pretty much doubt our government will start a serious effort to get ICE cars banned in the next 3 years. Maybe if EVs get significant traction in that timeframe, they'll propose such a law to look progressive for the next election.

To be fair, 'uber' had been in use as an adverb on the internet long before the company stepped on the scene, it's just that now it's in everyone's face …

That "object-oriented" design is called capabilities.

Given how many times btrfs has failed to read data or to mount (with an error), I would imagine this is why btrfs is used by Facebook: because it isn't afraid to 'just let it crash' (cleanly), to use Erlang rethoric.

I don't know why you say 'at least half', but the parties that got less than proportional number of seats (usually everyone except the CDU and sometimes SPD) gets Ausgleichsmandate ([leveling seats](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leveling_seat)) so that the parliament as a whole is representative proportionately to the second vote (excluding parties with less than 5% of votes).

If you use a C FFI in any language, including Java, all kinds of safety are off. Unsafe Rust is equivalent to C (with a lot of mandatory lints) in terms of safety, so Rust is not really less safe.

If you can look at, but not redistribute, freely, it is called 'shared source'. Open Source really is about free redistribution. And the difference to Free Software is mostly about the stance on community and lock-in.

Yeah I use those, too. Turns out you can use some url hacking to get them, even if they don't have a <link rel=alternate>. The URL is https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id= followed by the channel ID (if your channel URL is https://www.youtube.com/channel/something, then you can just take that 'something', if it's https://www.youtube.com/user/something, you may need to search for the ID a little). EDIT: Oops, that last one actually exists :S

I've not been at GamesCom, but EvilDragon said he would have a stall there showing the last prototype devices before production ( https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/threads/open-and-close-and-... ). The CPU board is designed to be cheaply replaceable, so you'll probably be able to buy one with a new SoC / RAM / internal storage in one or two years …

Yes it is. (Link for the lazy: https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/forums/pyra-news.250/ )

Not all websites are complex though. There should be little need to use scripts on a simple blog, for example, but I've seen way too many times that you'll end up with a blank screen without scripts, even though the text is already there in the DOM.

I already use uMatrix, but why should I trust 1st party scripts. I regularly visit less-trusted sites or sites that I never visited before, and I wouldn't want them to be able to just execute Turing-complete scripts with access to potentially a lot of information on me (only just the browsing history would be a lot) on my machine or that can trivially fingerprint me.

You could still insert <script> elements, you just wouldn't do it with document.write().

I block it by default, so that wouldn't work. I would love to make web pages that I myself could read/see if they were made by someone else.
