Yeah there are, Linux supports parameters FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE and FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE for fallocate(2). Like most fancy filesystem features, they are not used by the vast majority of software because it has to run on any filesystem

Bob wants a deb. I tell him to pound sand and give him a statically linked executable and pray that DNS works. If the software is still relevant in five years, some Debian maintainer will take an ancient version, convert it to use shared li

Any medium or large C project has these kinds of project-specific (or sometimes company-specific) collections of log macros, error handling macros, etc. The amount of boilerplate here is minimal compared to that.

Fun fact: <details> even works on github and similar sites with markdown-based input. You can post large inline logs in issues without cluttering the conversation.

It's especially fun once the service is superseded. Guess which one of these services handles MAC address allocation and storage: macaddr_db or atom-util?

Thanks for mentioning this. I built the same thing a year ago for myself in dozen lines of AWK. Looks like great minds think alike :) In my opinion this is the most practical approach for real world projects. You get benefits like avoiding

Personally I do a daily sync from the underlying gocryptfs to Backblaze B2. It's also on btrfs so I can do snapshots, etc.

How is the bootloader/peripheral compatibility on the non-SBC ARM systems these days? Can you plug in a boot disk on different machine and expect it to just work? My main problem with ARM is that many manufacturers act as if they'

You can customize anything, the problem is always how maintainable your customization is. People keep making FrankenDebians ( https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian#Don.27t_make_a_Frank... ) using curl|bash install scripts,

What? Python's standard library seems far more extensive than Java's.

Not to mention overcommit has become standard behavior on many systems, so you wouldn't even get a NULL unless you really tried.

Disabled on most CPUs, plagued by security issues. I haven't used it but I assume debugging would be extremely painful, since any debug event would abort the transaction.

No idea why this was flagged. This is a really good article in terms of both form and content and I was very surprised to learn that the author is actually also a teenager. I get it, some people dislike the appearance but c'mon, this i

I think it's coroutines as in other JVM languages like Kotlin, where yielding may be implemented internally as return (due to lack of native coroutine support in JVM). Holding a lock/monitor across a yield is a bad idea for other

I believe refresh rate/FPS is one of those things where it doesn't really matter but human eyes get spoiled by the higher standard, making it hard to go back. I never saw issues with 30 FPS until going to 60, etc. Hopefully I neve

Is it really that much better than some small form AMD Ryzen with 2x32 SODIMM thrown in? I get that the M series is amazing in terms of efficiency and some people love Apple hardware but you could likely have had that performance with a $70

When using vscode or its derivatives, I find the customizability is very limited. You have a couple of settings, but any new functionality basically requires writing a whole new extension and nobody really does that. Meanwhile with vim I of

I think you overestimate how "serious" most companies are. Sure, they have long documents about compliance but then you look behind the facade and see a CI server running on a windows laptop with an external USB SSD plugged in.

If you're hell bent on functional style, you can represent memory writes as ((Address, Value, X) -> X), where X is a compile-time-only linear type representing the current memory state, which can be manipulated like any other SSA va
