Probably not. The lua module hooks into internal symbols not considered part of the module API.

What I don't really understand is what's fundamentally wrong with ZeroMQ to warrant such forks. The project has a large user base and is very established. What's unfixable about it? It was pretty obvious to me that nanomsg ha

On the face of it that's not very practical indeed, but that doesn't mean it isn't necessary in real-world scenarios. You don't always control the applications behind your nginx reverse proxies and can't always enfo

Don't agree with that either. IMHO, "int" is perfectly acceptable if you just want to use the platform's preferred word size (and are fine with the possibility of it being only 16bit). Also, "char" is perfectly

That's difficult to achive without the reputation system being overrun by politics sooner rather than later, I guess. It's true that a degree in CS doesn't make a career, and that it's mostly a constant learning process.

"If all I want to do is build bird houses, do I need to learn everything a structural engineer has to learn to build sky scrapers?" Of course not. People should have the choice on how and what they want to learn. I just disagree w

Before the Bologna process, engineering and CS degrees in Portugal used to be 5 year courses, minimum. After the Bologna process, curricula were modified so that courses could have a 3 year minimum. This, by itself, isn't a bad thing.

Maybe this is the source of the recurrent discussions here, and elsewhere, about how formal CS education doesn't matter (something I wholeheartedly disagree). Universities have always been under fire to provide courses "better sui

My main criticism of systemd is that the project doesn't seem to have any bounds. They are actively trying to re-implement everything instead of having a clear definition of what problems they're trying to fix. That tends to end b

You don't determine it directly. But quick learning comes with other traits, like curiosity. You can determine those during a conversation if you're a good interviewer (which is the catch, interviewing is also a skill). Sometimes

> 6 on-sites I don't understand the point of multiple (or very long) interviews. If they can't decide after the first 30 minutes if the candidate is hirarable, they probably won't. It's an illusion to think that inter

Just like building a skyscraper doesn't require a degree. You don't need a degree to lay bricks, pour cement or assemble rebar. But you do if you're the one designing the structure in the first place. There is a lot of knowle

One thing is missing from that list: how to test for ALPN support (or the lack thereof). The OpenSSL client just lists the next protocols supported, but no mention if that's NPN or ALPN. This is one of those details that I believe are

Is that a positive thing? Of course, like in many other cases, IIS configuration is supposed to be generated from tools, but it always needs some tweaking and XML makes it a total pain to edit.

Not allowing comments doesn't make JSON an "ok-ish" config format, it makes it completely _unsuitable_ for it.

Anyone who've managed even a modest amount of servers with ECC RAM for a reasonable amount of time has surely seen ECC events in their hardware logs. Most of these are one-time errors that never happen again on the same server, ever. W

Take a look at PowerDNS Recursor or Unbound, both of which have scripting capabilities than enable this type of behavior and much more (Lua for PowerDNS, Python for Unbound). I'd say a script for any of these would be a better choice.

I've tried FreeBSD on occasion and that's exactly what kept me away from it. Keeping (multiple) systems current is always where most of the work is (if you do keep them current, that is), not on initial installation/configura

The problem is: that need for rigourous methods at all times is what drives people away from science. It sucks the fun out of it. Nothing has to be rigourous at all times. And certainly not on a TV show meant to entertain. And people are no

The general feeling about UML is that it's overkill for most projects and actively harmful when used to generate code. On the other hand, most agree that parts of UML are useful as communication tools. However, UML was designed as a st

It's already pretty harmonized in continental Europe. And some of the differences are handled by the plugs/sockets themselves (eg. Type F plugs with both ground contacts on the sides and a hole for Type E sockets).

The usefulness of this is not to turn nginx into an application server. Although there are already frameworks for this using ngx_lua ( http://leafo.net/lapis/ ), I don't find them very interesting except for the tec

By using this method, you exclude candidates that cannot (or are unwilling to) allocate the time necessary to do the assignment, plus the time needed to take care of tax-related issues just to be able to write you a receipt. In other words,

True. But you are talking about logic, which seldom matches human behavior. Humans are driven by other matters besides efficiency. A car is a status symbol. This must be taken into account when advocating solutions that may transmit a lower

In tipical geek fashion, this discussion is stuck around matters of safety in driverless cars and how can people be made to trust them. How much better they are, how fascinating the tech is. How driverless cars can replace cars entirely. Bu

The disaster part is not the tooling, but indeed the nobody understanding how "X" solves the problem and actually choosing an "X" and stick with it. There is a clear lack of _direct_ and _concise_ documentation about Pyt

Or you pay for it yourself but without the decision to specifically pay for _that_ content. I guess one heavy point of friction is having to decide to pay for something and not doing it because you either think it isn't worth it or the
