According to the Wikipedia article I just read (which now makes me an expert), calico is a specific kind of tortie. All calicos are tortoiseshell but not all tortoiseshell are calico.

I was going to make a “I said tortie, not turtle” joke, but ya beat me to it.
152·3 days agoThere’s a few issues with that approach:
- Blockchains can’t forget, but they also need to add new blocks on every period, meaning that there’s a lot of idle events that are added to the chain. You can increase the period, but then the chain has more latency. Either way, the disk space needed to store the full chain grows really fast, which becomes a problem when trying to bootstrap a new root node, or backup an existing one.
- Unless you’re trading land titles internationally (read: there’s no single trusted authority), blockchains could just be replaced with a regular distributed database and servers.
- Chains don’t offer out of band recovery and error correction.

That’s because the default color scheme is white on black. Just change it and Poof! Blue magic, red magic, yellow magic… so many possibilities!

13/21 here. Mostly got hung up on several “this was valid in earlier RFC, and later removed” kind of situations. There are several where I picked the correct answer, but where I know many websites that won’t accept it as valid, and that’s not even the more esoteric ones.

17·21 days agoBefore password composition rules, those were actually quite common, as well as passwords that were just the same as the username. Heck, it wasn’t until that long ago that router manufacturers used to ship with admin/admin as the default credentials.

1·25 days agoIt ended up on a cliffhanger. If season 2 made you give up then the rest will likely not be your cup of tea either.
Westworld explored that idea. It doesn’t end well.

Xbox compatible controllers all support xinput, which works well on Linux, both wired and wireless. Third party PlayStation controllers on the other hand can be weird on wired connections, and may only work with Bluetooth.
I’m quite happy with 8bitdo controllers - they’re sturdy, have hall effect sticks so they won’t drift, and work out of the box. Cheaper controllers will work too, but may end up falling apart sooner than later.
