Those all seem important to even moderately sized products.

The few times I made private copy public I made a brand new git repo, copied the working copy over, and published that as public. I'd never include past private git history when making something public.

Anyone at your company and just push to a public git repository at any time. Nothing stopping them except threat of consequences.

So does that mean that forked repos don't do garbage collection of unreferenced commits? If I force push and orphan a commit, I expect that will get garbage collected and be gone forever. Or if I commit a file I shouldn't have and

I have been using fish for a long time and I didn't know about this. Thanks.

There is no such thing as completely original. No matter what, all of your ideas are influenced by your life experience and what you've seen.

It wasn't a code update. It was a data file update. It certain seems that they don't include adequate testing for data file updates.

Remember when operating systems only got updates through service packs? We moved to a more frequent update cycle because when a critical vulnerability was found, no one wanted to wait 6-12 months for the service pack.

Ubuntu Pro? Specifically designed to push updates without requiring a reboot.

I have worked at a few Windows places and they did not allow live updates. All updates were managed by IT and tested before being pushed out. This situation was caused basically by an anti virus definition update. Without any information, m

It's shocking to me how many people on HN are not understanding this concept that Windows had nothing to do with it. It's just a likely they could crash a Linux machine by releasing an update to their Linux software that also refe

The outage was not because of the OS. It was a kernel driver that attempted to use invalid memory. The same thing crash could happen with any kernel driver in any operating system. You've never seen Linux crash because of a driver bug?

The ones I've seen are definitely not Android. But I don't have any data to argue which OS is most common among in flight entertainment systems.

The first three cover basically 99% of browsers.

Even unikernel applications have an OS compiled into the application. It's necessary to initialize the hardware it's running on, including the CPU and GPU and storage. I suppose you could build it as a UEFI module that relies on t

Signage isn't running full-fat Windows. They are using stripped down embedded focused versions.

You realize that you are personally insulting 100k people you've never met by judging their individual skills and abilities despite knowing nothing about them? It makes it very hard to put any credence into your opinion when you are so

The project I'm working on is about 13 years old (ruby on rails) with over 260 engineers and the product has a very robust event driven system that is at the core of a lot of important features.

by Osiris 2y ago
What I like about event driven is that you don't even need to know if anyone is listening to or cares about your event. And as a consumer, many independent tasks can be triggered by the same event. I'm working on a system right no

I often also feel imposter syndrome. But it's also good to realize that some people are just better at things than others, others have more free time, more motivation, more experience, etc. Don't let other people's success br

One of the benefits of Electron is being able to build the same app for multiple operating systems. When writing GUI app using native OS calls, how does one make sure the code is compatible with all three major operating systems?

I tried it and literally couldn’t figure it out. I got like 15 minutes into and had no idea what to do. What makes it so good?

It’s not cheaper than wood. It’s cheaper than certain specific kinds of wood used in specific applications. A 2x4 stud is like $3, for example. Decorative cedar is quite a bit more expensive.
