"Working with the CPU is the Arithmetic Processing Unit (ALU), which is responsible for mathematical tasks and is driven by the CPUs microcode."
So close.
Although, was there a CPU without microcode since the 8080?
The original Narch didn't have any microcode, but I'm not sure if its successor "E2K" still didn't. Narch trapped to a software management whenever it wanted something microcode-ish. That was in 1997.
I'm trying to remember if old SPARC had microcode (in e.g. Sun-4/280), and I cannot. It's been decades. -

@sun @pwm
Maybe the system has sysctl net.ipv6.bindonly=1 or something.

@sun @pwm I'm sorry if this is patronizing, but did you know that listening on ::0 on Linux listens to both AF_INET and AF_INET6? This is very much unlike BSD, where you must listen on separate sockets for each family. -

We have a component made out of D and Python. Two days ago a senior engineer snapped and is rewriting it in Go. Thank heavens he didn't consider Rust. -

@corbet So, what's the downside to going login-only? Most social media and news sites are like that these days. Pure nostalgia for the wide-open Internet is not a good enough reason. We used to have http: at one point too, but we moved on. Do you reap anything from that openness? -

Oh, great. Updated to Fedora 41 and now I see a bunch of junk empty filesystems every time I run df(1). Thanks, Lennart! -

@sun This may be not the best thread to hog attention, but... when I was looking for a job in recent years, I wanted to be typecast no more. To do satellites or at least something space-related was my dream job. But here I am implementing S3 for the 4th time (tabled, OpenStack Swift, Ceph RGW, and now Weka nee MinIO). Am I turning into one of those guys who did COBOL until they dropped dead at their desk with a heart attack? Probably not a concern for someone doing crypto AI just yet, but it will be. -

@kaia @sun I built an inclinometer for a Jeep once. It's a board that has an accelerometer, driven by the same CPU that Artuino uses, although I used ATtiny85 for some random reasons. LEDs indicate how off vertical you are. It worked great! Once I got this out of my system, I uploaded the design to my website and returned to software. -

@sun @kaia When I was a boy, we built blinking LEDs with 2 transistors in a "multi-vibrator" configuration. Our fathers built them using an RC integrator and magic. -

@sun @get I wonder if Hack (PHP+) ever caught on at least as much as Kotlin (Java+) did. I know that Elixir is not Erlang+. -

@sun I share the sentiment, but is it ever that bad?
Over the months of December and November, I searched:
how to paste code in jira
python boto3 with private server
python boto3 list_buckets
how to carve a turkey
how to roast a turkey
how to remove projects from zed
how to remove submodule from a commit
local struct in dlang
git find tags pointing to a branch
Maybe I do not program enough. Also, I use paper books (especially Ali Cehreli "Programming in D" recently - my favourite chapter is "Index"). -

Cloned Linux kernel to my Mac just now. Imagine my surprise when it turned out that kernel has filenames that differ in case only (such as xt_MARK.h and xt_mark.h). -

https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/tech/IPv6AndStillHavingNAT
Interesting point about /64 vs VMs. I solve it by running OSPF on VM hosts (even laptops), but that is very cumbersome and relies on IP redirects. I suppose I could re-number to /60. I'm on RFC-4193 anyway.
BTW, I used IPv6 NAT for years and years. It became because the support for DHCPv6 in Fedora had critical bugs, and because some providers did not support DHCPv6 at all. I was only guaranteed to have 1 address, therefore NAT. My current provider gives out a /48, but NAT works, so there's no point in avoiding it.

@feld @FloatingGhost @sun The main topic was the raid of Apple's pocket cops on a blogger named Chen, who found iPhone 6 in a bar. -

@feld @FloatingGhost @sun Do you guys remember a CN skit with Jon Stewart where he says "Apple, Jones, Camera 3" and rants how "your amazing iPone cannot keep a call in the middle of New York City!" -

@sun @meeper @lanodan So to me you're saying that Fedi and AP follow the trajectory of RSS.
