  1. Re: Effects on overall speed? on OpenBSD Will Get Unique Kernels On Each Reboot (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    well from TFS:

    If the user boots up, upgrades, or reboots his machine, the most recently generated kernel will replace the existing kernel binary...

    So it sounds the relinking happens when the system is running and the new kernel is used on next reboot.

    Yes, his solution seems pretty universal, planned and designed to handle any possible case that may arise.

  4. What kind of "mobile network" is that? I guess it must be hard to ssh into anything as well.

    Anyway, here is a solution:
    Use openvpn so your public exit IP never changes. I can hop networks with different different public IP transparently because everything goes through openvpn.

    I can even keep a VOIP call up without any glitch while switching network, ssh and anything else doesn't even have a clue of what is going on. It is completely transparent, openvpn adapts almost instantaneously.

    Thanks to the genius that thought email address == login name and that used that value as a key otherwise it would be trivial to change.

    A customer of mine insisted to use email as login name and I didn't use this value as a key so it is still possible to change emails thus login name, spooky isn't it? The user is permanently mapped to a UUID, that's all.

    Nah, just make the passengers lie down in multilevel bunk beds on wheels in advance in the airport to save on boarding time and roll them into the plane. The multiple levels of the bunk beds would typically have a foot between them.

    Well, use batteries or flywheels but those lose energy with time.

    Or maybe, spend the electricity to pump water to a sealed tank in the mountains and let the water flow down later to power a turbine when you need electricity.

    There are actually not enough interesting languages so you can learn one per year.
    I 'can prolog' but I never grasped how to solve a problem in Prolog without my programs looking like pascal.

    Strange, you must be using a different version of Prolog than I used to because, in the version I used, it was pretty hard to write a program looking like a pascal one.

    I understand every prolog problem/solution I see, but simply don't grasp how to come from the problem to the solution.

    In the version I used, every problem was pretty much solved with recursion.

    I mean simple stuff like the wolf, sheep, salad problem. How to express that in Prolog I know, but how to come to that idea/solution I don't know,

    I never saw a 10k line Prolog program by the way. The biggest I worked with (writing support code in C/C++) was about 1k or a little but more.

    Yep, recursive programs are typically small.
