@2legged if you could explain to me without the judgement and aggression how their quote stands for accessibility I would appreciate it because I cannot see it at all.

To me it reads as "nobody mentioned accessibility needs so don't bother."

@alexisbushnell I read it as a helpful reminder that "accessibility is not a criterion in this particular exercise, and since the path you have proposed seriously degrades the presentation for the overwhelming majority of readers, you risk reducing your marks. Please don't do yourself harm"

The big problem here is that you seem unable/unwilling to acknowledge that the font you propose is horrendous for non-dyskexic people.

POUZIN WOULD NEVER https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_loss

To avoid all of these problems, the Internet Protocol allows for routers to simply drop packets if the router or a network segment is too busy to deliver the data in a timely fashion.

i need to not start raging about how fucked this is. those are my packets i deserve to know where they went

Reliable protocols react to packet loss automatically, so when a person, such as a network administrator, needs to detect and diagnose packet loss, they typically use status information from network equipment or purpose-built tools.

There was a time when we had better leaders in the US and the Soviet Union.

An important meeting was in this house in Reykjavík, Iceland in 1986 between Reagan and Gorbatsjev. This was maybe the beginning of the end of the cold war and also the beginning of the end of the Soviet Union.

I think of that meeting every time I drive past this house on the way to work in Iceland.

RE: https://mastodon.com.pl/@UODO/115972482786650651

Nie bardzo rozumiem, czemu w panelu o deepfake'ach brał udział Rafał Brzoska?

Czaję, że jest znaną twarzą, która akurat miała z deepfake'ami nieprzyjemności, ale to tak jakby zapraszać jakiegoś biznes-influencera do panelu o transporcie publicznym, bo zdarzyło mu się stać w korku raz czy drugi.

@pallenberg @bsi genau so muss das. Nicht mehr kuscheln mit Delos, Microsoft, AWS und co. Ist erst einmal ungemütlicher aber die Früchte ernten wir in Zukunft.

Hier könnte auch länderübergreifend zusammengearbeitet werden- nicht jeder muss das Rad neu erfinden. Frankreich liefert und z.B. Konferenzsoftware, wir liefern etwas anderes zurück. Gemeinsam als Europa schaffen wir den Ausstieg!

Apologies for the delay in replying, I only just noticed this now!

You're absolutely right, the capital letters are now no longer important, DM and dm work. I've updated the guide to correct this.

"BTW, will this message be visible to you only - because of the mention at the very beginning of the post?"

Yes, exactly that!

@abekonge It's basically the essays I post on my site: https://www.baldurbjarnason.com/

The sign up form is on the bottom of every page.

There's also a dedicated landing page here: https://softwarecrisis.dev/

Although that landing page links to the old archive page that hasn't been updated in three years (I need to fix that)

@romaintb

There was a lot of discussion about this (it was moved to Tier 2 in FreeBSD 13). Intel shipped 64-bit chips (Core 2) in 2006, so x86-64 has been supported by both of the big x86 vendors for 20 years at this point. Intel sold some 32-bit x86 chips for a while longer (and AMD sold the Geode systems for embedded uses for a bit as well), but a ten-year-old x86-64 chip will run 32-bit workloads faster than pretty much any x86-32 chip and with so much less power consumption that you'll save money over a year by moving to 64-bit. In the embedded space, ARMv7 (and, increasingly, ARMv8) are more power efficient than embedded x86-32 systems (and often much faster as well).

The cost of maintaining the 32-bit x86 port is high and the hardware to test it on is increasingly rare (most committers no longer have any x86-32 hardware and a lot of modern x86-64 systems lack the BIOS compatibility layer in UEFI and have a bunch of other differences so don't test the same code paths as real 32-bit hardware).

There are no plans to remove the 32-bit compat layer for userspace, so you can still run 32-bit x86 userland programs.
