go mod why generics

(main module does not need package generics)

Can't stop the signal, Mal.

Currently, https://josephg.com/sp/current returns a png with 3x8 (RGB) bits/pixel. But since the image has only 16 colors, you can reduce its filesize to ~20% (from ~714 to ~147 KB, with http://optipng.sourceforge.net/). Can't you can gain performance and reduce bandwith by keeping the image serverside as a 4 bit png?

lscpu (from the preinstalled util-linux package) works too. And now that Windows comes with the Ubuntu Bash …

Just the demanded mandatory comment to complain about CVS and Comic Sans. Whiiiiiiinne whine whine.... ;)

Wow, this is the first ›real‹ telnet interface i saw in years:

telnet horizons.jpl.nasa.gov 6775

Thanks, NASA!

Also Spock (Chicken Scheme wiki): http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/4/spock

That’s a valid point. But Sputnik had also a component of harmed pride (›most advanced nation‹); at least this should be reproducible.

The NASA went to the moon because the russians wanted to do it. Today's space exploration is shaped by cooperation, but sometimes a little bit of competition is needed to achive great thinks.

This is why i'm really hoping for the chinese to announce a manned mission to mars. It's the red planet afterall ;), and this could be a modern sputnik shock for the NASA.

The RSS feed of this Blog is broken :(

Hint: Think about the colors …

I didn’t know the chematics for the TIA, thank you very much!

I find this Chip quite intriguing because it's so minimal; its stunning how much could be archieved even under the hardest restrictions. Or how little, compared to later graphic chips of the 8-bit era (like the PPU of the NES).

Yes, it’s a Disassembler: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disassembler

»the author commits the generated files to the source repository, so that they are available to clients that use go get:«

I understand that they want to keep $ go get fast, but i think that it is a bad practice to commit generate files into a repository. Instead, $ go get should call go generate.

The release notes mention the graceful shutdown of a http.Server:

"The net/http package now provides an optional Server.ConnState callback to hook various phases of a server connection's lifecycle (see ConnState). This can be used to implement rate limiting or graceful shutdown."

Knows anyone here a code example for this?

The praise for OpenSSL („I can't recommend OpenSSL highly enough, […] we just could not have done better at Backblaze.“) is kinda funny now after Heartbleed and the massive code cleanup of the LibreSSL people …

Instead of using ext2, just use ext4 (2008) without a journal to get 16 Years of Progress :)

That's a sad story … but thank you for sharing it.

Then why is so much whitespace in the .html? I mean, there doesn't seem to be a Easteregg encoded in Whitespace …

Nothing can't travel faster than the speed of light – including Electric current. So in a hypothetic 5 gigahertz CPU, there couldn't be a path through the wires/transistors longer than 5.99584916 – otherwise, the end result couldn't be correctly determined. That's why CPU's got smaller and smaller. But since the transistor shrinking slows down, and Adders/Multiplyer/Register/Decoding Logic etc. all takes some time and length, it's harder to make a CPU with a shorter longest path.

Yes, i forgot, it has to go into the [alias] section of .gitconfig.

It create a commit with a random message from whatthecommit.com; nothing you would push to your public repository; i use it in a script to backup some stuff in a git repo.

For your ~/.gitconfig:

  wtc = !git commit -m \"$(curl -s http://whatthecommit.com/index.txt)\"
