10 GB storage for default installation, 4 GB storage for commandline-only installation, 403 GB storage if you install every Debian package under the sun.

AI coding tools are using the exact same backends as AI fiction writing tools, so it would hurt the fledgling vibe coder profession (which according to proper software developers should not be allowed to exist at all).

This means Trump can finally de-fund them

Uh yeah, I’m pretty sure the discharge can stop your heart if you grab it in precisely wrong manner. Typical defibrillator uses like 50 times less energy, but with a higher voltage.

A capacitor of 1 farad at standard American 120 volts has the energy between 7.62×54 and .50 BMG, and will discharge just as violently.

The truth is people who want small phones also want them for the price of a clamshell feature phone with no 4G support. I’ve heard these complaints many times from older acquaintances, they want their old Nokia that can also run Viber and do videocalls, and they are not paying iPhone SE price, so there’s practically no market for small but high-spec phones, outside of luxury brands where you are buying an ancient chip with a leather back cover.

This document does not describe any new dreamy 100 gigabit network cables or switches. It’s a protocol for connecting AI farms, using existing hardware.

Useless drama in the article.
Yeah, cheap cable and cheap charger won’t provide 35 watts of power. However that cheap 24-pin Type-C cable costs the same as 5-pin Micro-USB cable did in 2010, and you can use your old Type-A charger with it, so you’ll getting your 5 volts 2 amperes everywhere, and did I mention that the connector is reversible?

Because you won’t determine the type of NAT during hole punching. This requires the client sending two UDP packets to two different IP addresses, then comparing their source addresses on the server.

Normally yes, you can just assume that two clients you are trying to connect both have port restricted cone NAT, and run the hole punching algorithm, and if the connection fails after ten seconds, show message to the users ‘Error 418: your router is a teapot’.

The one use case is running STUN/TURN server for NAT hole punching, that requires two separate servers, or one server with two IP addresses. You will only need that to run masterserver for games that support hole punching, or to run VoIP telephony / teleconference server.

Another use case is reliability, when your server is connected to several network providers, it will keep working if one of them has an outage, and will naturally have a different IP address for each network link. But your VPS does not have several network links, otherwise they would advertize that in bold red letters.

Nah, my script kiddie skills are still perfectly fine. It’s just that finding a regular coding job is easier and more profitable now, also the stuff I did 10 years ago is way less impressive now, when you have Youtube tutorials how to do that exact thing.

Educational bureaucracy strikes again!
It’s likely that you will learn the same exact thing when you’re 35 and need to improve your trade skills, but as a self-study and not an university course with zero relation to real life.
The field of programming is vast, and you totally can learn only the tiny part that is useful to you and ignore everything else. And learning CS to write programs is like learning to design combustion engines to drive a car.

It would be better to introduce ‘programming literacy’ course. Like, learn whatever trade you like, but with a computer, because computers are everywhere now.

The computer by itself isn’t that much useful, it needs to control something, like CNC welding machine, and if you can write the most basic Python to control your welding machine, you can do twice the work, because you can run your welding machine at night.

If POWER is so open, then why RISC-V is so popular? Given that it’s IBM, I guess they keep the better part of the architecture for licensing deals.

How about /bin/true

int main() {
  return 0;
}

it’s about the size limit of safe C code that I can write.

Some marketing survey shown that insignificant amount of users would use desktop mode, so they bought cheaper USB electronics for their next phone, that’s all. Never mind that Samsung adverises DeX so Galaxy users ar least know there is a desktop mode in their phone.

Blocked by W^X security policy!

It was a cool trick, until it was used by viruses.

Yes, Android is a (extremely heavily forked) Linux distribution.

Well ackshually Android kernel nowadays is built from an upstream unmolested Linux kernel sources, straight from Torvalds’ git repository.

And the rest is just the init system, which is not systemd so it’s better by definition even though it’s written in Java, and a display server written in Java, because there was no Wayland when Android development started.

Once again I am reminded that autoscroll is abomination
