Indeed. No Starch Press's book on TCP/IP by Kozierok is 1600 pages!

RINA is a beautiful new redesign of the networking stack wherein "computer networking is just inter-process communication."

Is it common in academia for sexism to be defined as male preferential treatment?


In a male dominated field, no.

In a female dominated field, such as nursing or primary education, sexism to many has the opposite meaning. For example, there is lots of sexism regarding "house-husbands". I have a charming gentleman who babysits my daughter, he was very worried about sexism, and, well, for good reason.

From what I understand, Rust is not making in-roads into the OpenBSD world for at least these reasons:

1) Rust's use of LLVM means it will not work on some hardware platforms that the OpenBSD folks are committed to run on.

2) The Rust project currently does not offer a long term support release.

These are important to the OpenBSD team. Additionally, I am sure that they value the memory safety that Rust offers.

I wonder if the OpenBSD team would ever design a systems language?


Note I said "BSD World" :) FreeBSD is already using LLVM (Clang) instead of GCC, and support fewer platforms - I think this would be a more pragmatic place to push something new like Rust.

If it works out there, OpenBSD could audit and import things at their leisure, at least in theory.


Why didn't they just use Ada then? Ada have been long before Rust and is a good alternative to C.

USDA zone 9b or warmer. If you are looking for a versitile, exotic fruit with high protein content that will grow outdoors in many cooler climates, check out the pawpaw:

We just had a local pawpaw festival, I had no idea such a fruit existed - like a cross between a banana, mango, and papaya, but growing plentifully at 42 degrees north.

Apparently they have a short shelf-life - the fruit must be eaten or preserved within a couple days of being picked. But they are quite tasty.


Are you talking about the Ohio pawpaw festival? We drove up there one year just for the festival -- super fun :)


Mountain papaya (Vasconcellea pubescens) will also grow in temperate to cold regions. I have seen them growing in areas that get heavy frosts (but the probably wouldn't cope with actual snow). Interestingly, yellow papayas are what I would call a pawpaw and I didn't know that there was a completely different fruit called a pawpaw.
