No, I mean, what do the Edera developers do differently, in order to provide more robust foundation with this new container runtime called Styrolite? They still use Linux namespaces, as far as I can tell from TFA.

> Importantly, we designed Styrolite with full awareness that Linux namespaces were never intended as hard security boundaries—a fact that explains why container escape vulnerabilities continue to emerge. Our approach acknowledges these

> Tags vs commit IDs is a tradeoff between convenience and security. Specifying an exact commit ID means the code won’t change unexpectedly, but tags are easier to read and compare. Imagine if we could specify both the tag and its comm

Could you elaborate on those features? From the top of my head, those are: nested functions — those always were of dubious usefulness compared to the implementation difficulties needed; labels are actual constants, so computed GOTO is avail

Was it really designed this way? I keep hearing this claim but I don't think Ritchie himself actually confirmed that? Also, notice how the functions call each other from wherever, even from different files, without need of any forward

Yes, pretty much. To be fair, C at this point was basically BCPL with slightly different syntax (and better char/string support). The introduction of structs (and then longs) changed it forever.

Funnily enough, it is emphatically not a single-pass compiler.

Okay, now I am concerned because almost every time somebody tells me "nobody is forcing you to use this new technology", in 5 or so years (if this technology survives) I am starting to get forced to use this new technology becau

So there is this obscure book that was printed in 1971 in a run of 10K copies and never has been reprinted, the publisher has been obtained by the Elsevier in 1992, the author has died in 2003. Whom do I pay to read this, except the local l

Yeah, I also have stopped for a second to consider what "SINGLE" should mean here but then realized I was thinking about Unicode grapheme clusters, and emoji sequences, and I should probably not do that before the dinner (or ever,

Um, "snarky"? How do I ask "is this last element optional, and does it have to be an emoji?" without snark? And it's the most egregious (in the "glaring" sense, not "outlandishly awful") things a

Do I have to use emojis when introducing the entities? Are they used for anything?

Ah, yet another archive format. Well, at least it's not .ar (I still find it amusing that .tar has never managed to supplant it for the static library storage).

Wait, so the "ruler guides" are misnamed, they are just "rules"? In any case, the things they added could very well have been called "column-divider" and "row-divider" with much less ambiguity because

by Joker_vD 2y ago
No? Both "rule" and "ruler" can denote this thing also called straightedge; but the word "ruler" is more commonly used in this sense, while "rule" generally means an instruction.

by Joker_vD 2y ago
Couldn't they have at least used the word "ruler" then?

What about execution speed? I find it somewhat hard to believe that adding 2/3 additional arithmetic instructions plus a branch to every addition/subtraction would perform better than having the (I believe quite small) circuitry a

Personally, the two most alluring things about RTX for me is a) better global illumination, none of that silly "you can see sunrise shining through the mountain/cave's ceiling" stuff; b) better local illumination: a glow

Wow, an actual, purposeful, and quite general return-pointer-smashing gadget, built right into the program itself. Just what any program written in C needs.

Textual order is depth-first. When you encounter "import X", you switch to (recursively) import/load module X. I believe that's how Python works. As for the cyclical dependencies I'd argue they should be disallowed.

You also need to re-inspect it at every toolchain change/upgrade. In my experience, most programmers don't, and then we end up spending two day chasing some impossible-to-happen bug which has happened nonetheless because new Clang
