There is actually a Chromium package in OpenBSD that uses pledge() and unveil(), and it's interesting. The browser is only able to see your ~/Downloads directory; the kernel will either block or kill it for trying to open anything else.

If Microsoft is serious about Edge, then I would like to see a relevant OpenBSD package. I would also like to see an F-Droid listing.

Barring these, Edge is a Windows-only browser.

First, I'm assuming Intel's is a 10-nm part, which I understand is roughly equivalent to TSMC 7nm. I believe that Apple is producing a 5nm part. When Intel's designs start rolling out of TSMC's 3nm production line, the wattage questions may shift somewhat, but Apple and Intel will be on (more) equal physical footing.

Second, Intel has much more legacy hardware to support than Apple. Fujitsu doesn't support anything outside of AArch64 for their supercomputer, for example, but I am assuming that Apple retains AArch32, Thumb, Neon, perhaps the Java extensions, and others. Intel has a much larger tract of legacy support, going down to 8086.

I am confident that Intel will always have more legacy baggage, and higher transistor counts as a consequence. Still, when both designs appear at 3nm, it will be somewhat more fair to compare them.

Note that the Gargoyle router software has the ability to force all traffic through Tor. Gargoyle is based on OpenWRT, so this is likely an option there, too.

I don't think that our species is capable of inflicting a Permian-Triassic extinction event upon our biosphere, but I could be wrong. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik...â"Triassic_extinction_event

Read my .netrc script, in conjunction with the pwfile patch. I think it helps.

As I remember, the Alpha designers confronted management with the fact that they couldn't compete with Intel.

No, you do not. You need the Bromite fork of Chromium, which offers you the option to "Disable JIT: Improve security at the expense of performance by not compiling JavaScript to native code (requires browser restart)."

Should I mention that the original query language of Postgres was not SQL, it was PostQuel

. Many past databases that embraced SQL began with something different. Perhaps we should mine the past for ideas of a superior query language.

Or perhaps the more direct approach would be to return to dBase 3 syntax, of which I have a dim memory.

Let's just check the wiki.

• Infrared telescopes have a disadvantage: the telescope must be kept very cold in order to observe in the infrared without interference... below 50 K.
• The telescope's sunshield ripped during a practice deployment.
• JWST will operate... 1,500,000 km beyond Earth's orbit. Hubble orbits [at] 550 km.
• The Webb telescope will use 126 small motors to occasionally adjust the optics.
• ...most infrared telescopes have a lifespan limited by their coolant, as short as a few months, maybe a few years at most.
• [The JWST] is designed to cool itself without a dewar, using a combination of sunshields and radiators, with the mid-infrared instrument using an additional cryocooler.
• The review also found JWST had 344 potential single-point failures, any of which could doom the project.
• 2010 Nature article: "The telescope that ate astronomy."
• Its nominal mission time is five years, with a goal of ten years.
• JWST needs to use propellant to maintain its halo orbit around L2, which provides an upper limit to its designed lifetime, and it is being designed to carry enough for ten years.

Do not expect 30 years of service from this device.

Please accept the gratitude of the of the world, be they astronomy experts, aficionados, or the aesthetically inclined.

Bravo!

At work, we have an internal queuing system that runs critical data to our VAX and Univac OS/2200 minis. I fought like a bandit to get the Oracle Pro*C port written in '93. It still compile with -m32, and adding FORTIFY_SOURCE let me find quite a few bugs. I recently prepared fresh binaries for RedHat 8, and this code will likely outlive me.

On Android, you might try the "Privacy Browser," found in F-Droid. By default it runs with JavaScript disabled, and defeats many paywalls.

...PGP has not aged well. The original ciphers are deprecated to the point of danger, the interface feature creep easily traps the unwary, and cleaner designs are easily found. Why go back to IDEA, as I would have to on CentOS 7? https://latacora.micro.blog/20...

If they wanted a microkernel, wasn't the QNX-based kernel already in every target market?

Designing microkernels does not appear to be easy, as anyone who has watched the HURD over the years will know. Why reinvent the QNX wheel?
