Are you sure? I think LXC was developed by IBM. Team OpenVZ is still sticking with very old kernel releases (2.6.32 at most), they may adopt LXC for some of their features but they aren't very keen on upstream work.

Oooh! Tobu. edit: building, thanks!

Not really. The LLVM analogy does capture the toolchain aspect; the RPython toolchain generates a JITted VM from an interpreter description.

Ah, it seems like the pointer coordinates are offset from what Steam expects. If I move windows close to the center of the screen, or if I can find resize the window from an offset edge, it works again. With gnome-shell, fwiw.

I just did. It's useless for Python; requirements.txt isn't what PyPI uses.

dpkg is a low-level command that can only complete the install if the dependencies are already installed. apt-get is a high-level command but doesn't know what to do with a package that it didn't download itself. gdebi has neither limitatio

In that spirit: Dear Valve, please follow the xdg-user-dirs spec instead of sticking ~/.steam ~/.steampath ~/.steampid and ~/Steam in my home directory. This is the kind of thing that should be caught very early if you don't want to be stuc

Why can't I click on anything? (tab works, except on the EULA screen) Some sort of hidden window that clashes with sloppy focus?

Follow the dpkg call by apt-get install steam, obviously (gdebi also works).

Support-status would be a more useful indicator than is-latest. Of course you can't scrape it, but you could crowd-source it.

“Equal unpleasantness” is more accurate, and works in a multidimensional space where there isn't a median.

Mandatory voting cuts both ways. It would require fixing the many things that prevent people from voting in the USA: making the day a holiday, fixing voter registration, getting enough manpower that the wait is reasonable everywhere, for st

I kept looking for a twist — jwz's “It seems very familiar to me” indicated one — but it's just a repost then.

I know the claim of running Amazon.com on AWS was initially bogus, but did anyone notice trouble on that site with the recent AWS outages? It would be instructive to know how much they have integrated it since.

When node switched to libuv it didn't degrade io performance on unix hosts; io in threads has been competitive with evented io. I don't think async io was even considered, but let me know if you dig up anything.

Well, it does the right thing by default if you have a sufficiently recent version. You still need to pass `verify=True` to make older versions fail rather than silently accept bad certs. For httplib2, the idiom is similar: `client = http

Boot Linux, disable automount, make a raw copy using dd, upload somewhere?

After my experience of Capistrano and Fabric, I think it's a wheel that needs to be reinvented. Capistrano: hardcodes way too many things, underdocumented. Fabric: reimplements ssh (poorly). Moving from Capistrano to a custom script I ended

Yikes. This doesn't help me visualise anything. Something that could work: a tree view with bars for absolute size and size delta.

Browsers will ignore content-type in many cases (html5 embraced that quirk), but they do have to sniff the bytes to confirm their hunch. You could use `file` to detect images. Or use the content length, maybe by changing hit quotas into ban

Hardware will evolve. CPU's design constraints — programs with low parallelism and not much awareness of the memory hierarchy — have caused a bottleneck. SHA-3 will end up as yet another specialty instruction, with the actual programming do

Huh, thanks. I didn't understand this was an active check at link creation time; woosh for me.

One thing that improves reliability is in fact to get rid of the configuration step. Not just the workarounds for broken shells or old Solaris/HP-UX versions with anemic libcs, but the principle of disabling some features or switching to al

So Miguel objects to any use of third-party m4 macros at all? Because these are the possibilities: 1. You install from your package manager 2. You install from a source tarball, which contains a configure script 3. You install the bleeding

Yeah, I had one https:// clone stop in mid-download. I repeated it immediately and it stopped midway again, I tried again after half an hour or so and it went through. This was before they disabled port 80, so I expect this was resource e

The wikis are git repos as well. Sync them periodically and you're good. Plus it's useful as a backup, because I don't think github archives your reflog. Issues are normally mirrored to e-mails (caveat: you don't get mail for your own comme
