If your situation is like mine, you have to wait for some fifteen seconds or so. And then greeted with a login input. Also, my CPUs were at around 50 % the whole time. I'm sorry, but if that's the “future of web UIs”, I'd ra

For those wondering, the types of domains and sites that still use .su today (according to my personal experience) are: 1. Sites that were created back then and just stayed (a very low number). 2. Sites of organisations operating in m

I wonder if EINTRs are now returned from syscalls that were always documented to (sometimes) return them in POSIX/SUS/other documentation but PostgreSQL simply ignored that possibility with Mach, or if they are returned from some

That's a change in a library though, not in the language. And if you want to never have changes in libraries, including for fixing security bugs, you'll end up with stuff like mysql_real_escape_string.

Niklaus Wirth is a visionary, and his legacy is honestly severely underappreciated. Pascal was a reasonably well designed language for its time and purpose. The Oberon ecosystem has in many ways inspired Plan 9 From Bell Labs and, t

Re. Go 2. The Go Team people have repeatedly said that they want to avoid the Python 3 situation, so even if there will be a real, compatibility breaking Go 2, it won't be anywhere near that level of incompatibility. They'll pro

I thought Twitter required all “checkmarks” to have 2FA enabled, but apparently that's not the case? Sounds rather… careless.

For those wondering, “TOAST” actually stands for “The Oversized-Attribute Storage Technique”. See https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/storage-toast.html . The link also provides some implementation details.

Not a lot of people these days care about portability, unfortunately. You'll be lucky if your project's build scripts run the same way on both Debian and vanilla macOS. And when they don't, the answer people will give you i
