The first proof of concept prototype was developed in 2007 based on insights gained with packaging and system engineering at two different companies, one a software one and the other a very large financial institution. Refined framework (oh

It's not any different, they all suck. Read my reply above to the author on how it was solved cleanly without needing to hack anything, just deliver a config excerpt via an OS package and it works. It's not open sourced yet, mainl

Funny you should mention RPM's, since that's one of the packaging formats we perform configuration management in. I have my own configuration management framework which can add and remove configuration from files that each package

by Annatar 8y ago
Configuration management is best with operating system packages, so in creating "Ansible", not only did you completely miss the ball, you created a monster. People now hack ad hoc YAML files instead of designing clean OS packages

All that aside, I find the script flowing and incredibly elegant and beautiful, purely from an aesthetic point of view.

This information belongs in manual pages on the system. On GNU/Linux operating systems, that's section 7; on illumos and SVR4 based systems, that'd be section 5.

German is one of the languages I speak fluently, no need for Google translate (;-) Thanks for the link!

Very, very interesting. I remember "Technological Death" by "Mad Elks" and "Lech" by "Freezers" demos from Poland.

Trivia is always the best, most salient part of every story, which ironically makes it not trivial at all.

Please shed more detail on this aspect! Was the Amiga popular in East Germany?

I find Lisp very beautiful and elegant but I find assembler even more so.

Your situation was a perfect example of why I so violently, vehemently oppose object oriented programming and why I fight the people trying to promote it at every turn and opportunity (often in person and it can get extremely ugly -- and th

Seems to me that the uptake has been picking up, in no small part to "Hacker News". Bear in mind that since Lisp programs get compiled to machine code, you might be using software written in it and not know it. And that's how

Yep, and he made mucho dinero when they sold it to Yahoo. As far as I understood it, Lisp enabled them to implement features so fast that their would-be competitors couldn't keep pace.

Seriously? Wow. Assembler is the most beautiful, simplest language that I have ever programmed in. O tempora, o mores...

"Container management is easier than zone management." Linux has no containers, cgroups aren't anything conceptually close to zones. There are 56 different solutions to virtualization on Linux, all competing, mainly because e

Again, which bypass? If you attach to a process you will see machine code and it will be stored at memory addresses.

/proc on Linux wasn't implemented like /proc is on other operating systems; it's the only /proc implemented that way. The interface, if it could even be called that, is completely proprietary to Linux; output is ad

I did not, I stated that nothing has changed: before people only knew PC buckets and Windows, now PC buckets and Linux is the only truth and religion. Nothing else exists. So the more things changed, the more they stayed the same. That&#x27

CTF is just a specially compressed format and specification of embedding the source code into the binary; it's a complement to DWARF format, not the format itself. The documentation you cite even says it's similar, meaning that it

It's not a Solaris specific feature; FreeBSD has it as well: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ctf&apropos=0&sekt... Linux is the one lagging behind, as usual. How is embedding source code an &quot

Write for yourself -- I've no problem paying Apple Computer for a solution which I plop down on a table, turn on, and start using immediately after that without having to fiddle with it.

A kernel should always be compiled with symbols / source code inside of it -- that the Linux kernel doesn't have full support for CTF says more about it than it does about CTF. Yes, a SIGABRT will get you a core file and will kill
