Writing a formal spec in itself is a way to introduce clarity to thinking, because when writing it the spec itself lends to asking more and more questions about the things you might not have thought of. More so if there are tools to check y

Let's say though that we would now enter in a discussion where I would be certain that now is the year 2022 and you were certain that it is the year 2023, but neither has the ability to proove the fact to each other. How would we recon

You need to use Temporary Container's shortcut to open the tab, I think extensions cannot override builtin ones.. (And you need Temporary Containers in the first place: that's the bit that creates fresh new containers.) For me the

Yeah, I don't think the speed performance of FCGI vs CGI is really about spawning in 2023: the benefit lies in the fact that the app can keep state and resources between requests. In particular, it can maintain a database connection al

Git allows one to sign commits. It would be quite pointless if it was signing mere MD5 hashes.

by _flux 4y ago
Well that sounds utterly repulsive. And somewhat pointless. In fact, I choose not to believe it. Is there some document discussing this kind of functionality?

Surely we'd be at back square one at that point?

Well, the used-to-be-true logic also resulted in scripts to find where there were core files, to remove them :). At least in Debian and Ubuntu systemd-coredump is a separate package (and wasn't installed by default for me atleast), so

Quite disappointing someone would enable that kernel option without fully considering the ramifications :/. Do some distributions use systemd-coredump by default? I not just learned about systemd-coredump and I'm wondering if it c

Why limit yourself to Emacs, even if it might be the best desktop solution around? With Linux, Jack/PipeWire and https://github.com/eras/midihidi you can use your MIDI device with any app! Granted it doesn't

I wonder though if this could be solved with edit lists, supported e.g. by ISO BMFF. Not all players support them completely, though, for example I believe mpv only supports one edit, so I guess that's not useful for general purpose us

Because then you are limited by the use cases the browser vendors have thought of, instead of enabling new applications someone else thought of. I mean, why not also use it for controlling a LEGO robot from a Scratch app? Configuring preset

Well MIDI support is pretty cool, I could just go to Novation website and update SL49 firmware (after appropriate confirmation). Also Tasmota project has a firmware upload over serial, pretty accessible if you have Chrome. I think Bluetooth

Curl can connect over unix domain sockets and ssh can forward them, I feel this would be a decent way to forward authentication as access control rules would apply to the sockets.

Well it does make the developer try harder to have a vulnerability. You can't just forget to bound check an array indexing, you need to actually take instructions from the Internet (e.g. eval, import, or exec in case of fail2ban), but

But it "doesn't" know who you are if you have not logged in. Or do you mean that the permission isn't container-specific? (Of course it can probably make a pretty good guess, just as well it could do before this change.)

So to get all or some of those features you can use IRCCloud. Is it the same as IRC having those features? I could (and do) access IRC over Matrix and then I also have access to those features. But in this case also users not using the same

In particular frequent disconnect/reconnects seem to cause stress to others in IRC, sometimes even resulting in bans, when it ultimately just shouldn't matter.

It can be quite painful to add them afterwards and while the program might now be shortlived, this might not hold true in the future. And just maybe if one doesn't want to deal with manual memory management, then pick a tool/langu

Like C was used to write C and OCaml was used to write OCaml, Rust is written in Rust. Mostly, anyway, the GitHub repository seems to have also JavaScript, Python and Shell. Though to actually get binaries out of it LLVM is used, which itse

Great tool and nice to see such active development on it! From 3.0.0 to 7.0.0 just during this year, though.. ? I guess very few are depending on the library interfaces which I imagine are being broken, or do the major version increments ju

To use Starlink you need to have a line-of-sight to the satellites, and that basically requires you'll get to install the ceiling of the whole building and even that might not be enough, right? To do that you probably need to get the w

I think the reason this seems surprising is the value/reference semantics of values. For example: def foo(i, j): i[0] += 1 j += 1 a = [0] b = 0 foo(a, b) print(a) # [1] print(b) # [0] So people

Perhaps I misunderstood. But let's say I do run uMatrix in deny more, I get the site HTML as the Tim Berners-Lee intended. Yet that already may contain some kind of advertising material, so to view only the actual content I'd need

But the underlying principle is still filtering out the undesired content instead of selecting the desired content.
