It wasn't a laminates company, was it?

I'm embarrassed that I live in HMB and didn't recognize it. I should go to the harbor more.

I asked Gemini to format some URLs into an XML format. It got halfway through and gave up. I asked if it truncated the output, and it said yes and then told _me_ to write a python script to do it.

I have a yoga from 2016 that had its backlight supply rail blow up. Very lame.

You can do some pretty crazy stuff with pipes, if you want to do better than unix sockets.

I've spent several years optimizing a specialized IPC mechanism for a work project. I've spent time reviewing the Linux Kernel's unix socket source code to understand obscure edge cases. There isn't really much to optimize - it's just copying bytes between buffers. Most of the complexity of the code has to do with permissions and implementing the ability to send file descriptors. All my benchmarks have unambiguously showed unix sockets to be more performant than loopback TCP for my particular use case.

There's definitely differences, whether or not it matters for most usages. I've worked on several IPC mechanisms that specifically benefited from one vs. the other.

A former coworker texted me out of the blue yesterday, saying he missed working on a "<my name> codebase". He specifically appreciated that "doing something simple things were kept simple." Made my day!

It's still mass, drag and cost.

It might work in so far as you'll get packets through. The performance would be abysmal, though. Modern Ethernet is built around switching.

I read the XML directly in my browser out of spite.

Crowded? No. Littered? Perhaps, depending on the altitude. The article you linked says the bulk of the existing debris is from a few isolated incidents.

These satellites are generally low enough tha their orbits decay after a couple years if they don't boost themselves, and then they burn up in the atmosphere.

I've gotten CEC to work in Linux on my desktop computer. The funny thing is that most GPU HDMI ports don't implement CEC, but do implement CEC over DisplayPort. You simply need to find a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter that supports CEC.

It's funny that it doesn't have the great lakes. I guess it doesn't have any internal bodies of water.
