Isn't "taking will" essentially about changing habits? Personally, I find that habit and habituation is all that takes to slip back into weekend binging (etc.). Once I break the habit it's pretty easy to stay out of it[0

It would be great to have a Win95 speed run on SGDQ or similar. :)

It's a bit weird that Python -- which in some ways was a trailblazer in popularizing somewhat unconventional syntax choices (indent matters!) -- has become so stuck in its ways that if-elif seems like a reasonable choice of syntax for

This is an excellent point. When working with the ZoL tools I really get the impression that they want to make the easy and safe(!) things easy, and the dangerous things near-impossible. I don't have that much experience with ZFS&#x2

I think that's a given. Generated code isn't even... generated by including a header. (I'm assuming you're thinking of templates.) You need use site "caching" to be able to reuse template parsing beyond the par

The problem with headers (in C++) isn't #include. It's the bleed-through of macros (and pragmas, I guess) from headers into subsequent headers. Without that, precompiled headers would be an obvious win always and every time. Macro

What? There's no real difference except spelling (aka syntax and convention).

You're ignoring the possibility of negative value. People ITT have been saying repeatedly that DNSSEC provides negative value, i.e. that the effort is vastly out of proportion with any benefit that could be derived from it. They aren

You may be thinking of Don't Talk to the Police[1]? I'm not sure if the speaker explicitly says this or just quotes someone who did, but let's just say that this is a recurring theme in the talk... [1] https://www.

Well, an obvious problem with it is that they may (will, probably) inadvertently confess to many many more crimes than they realize. A lawyer can help for "negotiating" a fair sentence. (The police & prosecutors will try to

Fair enough, I suppose. I'm not sure it's just me being behind the times, but it seems that quite a few of the ideas behind PGP (specifically: asymmetric encryption) aren't really being exploited seriously. Instead there&#x27

There's been a very weird discussion going on here based on the misconception that TMs are somehow equivalent to Interactive TMs[1]. In the usual theory of TMs there's no idea that there's "input" (e.g. another TM a

Is OpenPGP considered 'legacy'? If so, why? I was under the impression that it's mostly that it's really hart to reliably support e.g. calling 'gnupg' (cmdline), gpgme (library), etc.? ISTR there was a company

To me this is a bizarre line of reasoning. I was "forced" to adopt systemd, but so far it's been leagues better than previous attempts (OpenRC, sysvinit) for integrated management of daemons, user-session daemons, a predictab

Do you have a close-to-perfect implementation, perchance? Any logging implementation I have ever seen is full of tradeoffs along all sorts of axes. At some point something has to give. Examples: Your log cannot accept more messages (may

Really weird to read this and not a single mention (in the article or ITT) of the most critical concept here: Composability. That is what ranges can do for your code -- make it composable. The imperative-style examples don't compose

Nobody, AFAIK. Even with an explicit "export template", it's basically impossible because of of the interaction of all the features of the C and C++ and CPP parts of the language. (Precompiled headers are/were are thing,

You can insert whatever level of validation you need at the untyped interface between the two... just as you would with dynamically typed languages.
