I think Linus has been pretty clear on both topics (fix A, and if you won't, fix B) and on general policy (don't break it for users or I don't want to work with you in the kernel). Yeah, the reporter could have framed it bett

Okay, I think 6a0f1f6d5af7c7300d3db7a0ba2b068f8abd222b "sd-event: rework API to support CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM and CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM, too" removed the dual_timestamp_is_set assert. It looks like it was fixed by accident, and ther

That TOS bit only protects YouTube, to the extent that it's applicable. It doesn't protect Sony.

In theory, the replayer could be made to rerecord a full memory trace. Running the replayer in gdb would be enough for a single process.

The set of integers is the first infinity in ZF. Maybe you could reason a bit about integers without building a model of them, but you wouldn't have a set theory and you wouldn't have access to algebra.

It's also a good way to drum up support; start by accusing the "other side" of doing whatever it is you want to do. You're basically coordinating with the other team with the full cooperation of the people you've sc

He's arguing for compartmentalisation[1]. This is how most religious people handle clashes between religious beliefs and the world: some topics are tagged for a religious worldview (whose defining feature is unassailable dogma), other

With a power law, only a few keys occur frequently. Changing the data representation implicitly would cause unpredictable performance as columns get rewritten. If you want to do more explicit storage optimisations, maybe one of the mongo-li

You're right, because MVCC works on immutable rows. The structure can be broken up to accommodate large values[1], which saves updating parts that don't change, but json data is a single column and updates need to copy the entire

Document stores trade off some performance and robustness to increase ease of development. When that becomes a problem you can switch to more structured tables. One possibility is to structure frequently accessed fields and stuff the rema

OpenGL is driven by the hardware vendors. It's developed a lot like html5, extensions get exposed and tested and get standardised based on that experience.

Power at the NSA would be concentrated towards the most shameless bastards. It's not really within the power of random employees/contractors/grunts to fix. Snowden would be the example to follow here, but you really have to w

So the lack of soundness is in the C++ templates spec. Nevertheless, I think it's bad form for a compiler to take full advantage of undefined behaviour. Reinterpreting undefined behaviour as “should not compile” (failing that, “must cr

Clang is mathematically wrong in all but the first case. I'm not sure what it says about C++ conformance; the problem is likely Clang but I'm not sure how sound template metaprogramming or C++ templates are supposed to be.

It's declarative at any rate. It's verbose but as long as it isn't used like an imperative language, I don't find it ugly.

You misunderstand; one of the councilmembers who voted for the caps was considering dropping the caps later. The council let Uber &co operate for one year before updating the law and are prepared to wait, see and update it again.

The article goes back and forth in the chronology, which makes the story hard to parse. It's Horvath's very personal point of view, but the TC interviewer(s) should have tried to clarify it. Multiple incidents/hostility aroun
