My brother is a wifi expert at a hw manufacturer. He once had a case where the customer had issues setting the transmit power to like 100 times the legal limit. They happened to be an offshore drilling platform and had an exemption for the transmission power as their antenna was basically on a buoy on the ocean. He had to convince the developer to fix that very specific bug.
Starts with I18N in SMS. There should be a trigger warning on those. SMS is dreadful in itself. In an international setting, it's a nightmare. But once people wonder why they costs exploded since they changed their welcome message with an accented character...
Pause and rewind have been features since the phonograph. Vinyl and tapes could do it. Youtube did it (yet somehow they botched it for YT Shorts). Tiktok did it. Now Instagram feels like they invented something...
On the web YouTube, one can change the /shorts/ in the URL to /v/ to get the standard and not the "This is a TikTok-clone" interface.
On Android one can install NewPipe and have a better experience (then again, yesterday NewPipe failed to load any video for me, I guess YouTube updated their obfuscation code).
VMS had asynchronous programming to its core. Most system calls could be performed synchronously or async. You just had to give the async call a flag that would indicate when the response was ready. So you could read a file or connect to the network, continue execution and when you actually needed the answer, just sys$wait(flag). Or have callback functions.
It worked extremely well as some else mentioned, 64Mb of RAM was enough to handle 200 interactive users with RDB (database IMO far superior to Oracle that was acquired by them and promptly buried)
I can't say I did much w/ NT and parallel ports beyond attaching printers. I'd imagine it could be pretty awful in the "SPP" days, especially with people trying to connect ZIP drives, "Backpack" CD-ROM drives, tape drives, etc. I suspect floppy drives, which I also didn't use under NT very much, could also play hell w/ interactivity.
The amount of us who clicked no is amazing. I loved my Pebble Time but I'm going to give money to yet another Kickstarter and have it be killed shortly after.
It's funny because I own such a domain. A large financial institution in my country changed its main domain name to something that had a very clear potential for a typo.
I informed them, was ignored and just registered the domain myself. I'm showing a large banner and added GDPR friendly analytics (Vince, I like its simplicity and efficiency). I'm getting a couple of victims every day.
Maybe this is a sign to get in touch again with them and if they ignore me, just publish it.
Update: they responded to my disclosure with a canned response "there was not enough information to answer your question, please go through our contact form again". I guess that's an invitation to publish.
So here is the primer:
the Belgian National Lottery used to be e-lotto.be. They decided to change (in French) to loterie-nationale.be. You might notice that in Belgium lotto has 2 T, same for "lottery" in English while the organization is "Loterie Nationale" with 1 T.
They didn't register lotterie-nationale.be. I suggested it to them, got ignored. So I did it. If you go there now, you'll get a banner informing you about your mistake. I have a couple of victims every day, a lot more on Friday 13 etc.
There was a recent scandal that our former Finance Minister is accused of money laundering 800,000€ through that platform, so it's not a small website.
Damn, OVH broke the TLS. I migrated it to my server and it's not properly served with a valid TLS. I'll let it run for a few days before publishing the details and insisting at their security contact point.
Thanks
It's not a bank or payment provider per se but still processing a large amount of money. I sent them a new notification. I hope that they won't take too much time to respond.
The fact that Altria (ex Philip Morris), a tobacco brand, made it to this list is telling IMO. There is no way that the cigarette packaging produces that much identifiable plastic trash.
My guess would be that in some countries, the stores provide disposable plastic bags with any purchase and that these bags include ads for tobacco brands. This study would associate the brand with the generation of trash while the trash should rather be associated with the store.
I'll personally classify this study as unreliable.
Yes, moreutils has a lot to offer.
vidir to quickly reorganize files and folders (even delete files),
chronic to run commands silently... unless they fail,
sponge to be able to pipe from a file and back to that file without a temporary one
ts to add a timestamp to the ouput

That illustrates the difference between anterograde amnesia and dementia. Dementia is a general degradation of the brain that includes memory but you can have amnesia with an otherwise perfectly functional brain. A patient with dementia would never text her kids as in OP's case.
My grandpa had dementia. Last time me and my mom flew over to visit he didn't recognize either of us the first day. He didn't even remember having a daughter. Second day he vaguely recognized my mom but not me.
Third and last day of our stay, as soon as I entered the living room he lit up and exclaimed my name. We sat and talked for hours, reminiscing past events with great details, until we had to leave for the plane home.
Cross-compiling ? Aren't M1 and Pi both ARM processors ? I've been building apps for my M1 to run on Pi without any issue. Some optimization options maybe ?
Cross compiling is really defined as different platforms, not limiting it to instruction sets. Also, the M1 is an ARM, but the instruction sets aren't exactly the same.
If the app leverages the page size in some way you can get into very subtle crashes - app is built on M1 (with 16k page size), page size is stored in a constant in the binary because it's a macro, then you trt to access the entire range of a page in a pi (4k pages) - and things break.
Cross-compilling from MacOS to Linux. By default OCaml does dynamic linking of all C dependencies. Even with static linking there is a dependency on libc (or the MacOS equivalent) as far as I remember. I had some success so far with Rust, Nim and Go using a musl toolchain[1], but no luck for OCaml. At the moment I'm just using a docker container which mirrors the Debian distribution running on the Pi.
