It's like a meme in the world of trading: your system needs to survive for 24 hours, whatever happens after that - doesn't matter. This can really impact the way you design the system. Ignoring memory leaks in C++, or outright

Just tried to install it in qemu and the installer was broken. It couldn't select the vda disk (the selection was disabled). There was no way to proceed further.

I just tried it on WSL2 with Ubuntu to create a python-based development environment. The experience was very rough. Devbox failed on multiple levels. I had to uninstall both devbox and nix. The funny thing is that there are no uninstal

Windows modern (or connected) standby sucks donkey balls. When my laptop is in the sleep mode I don't need it to be connected, I don't need it to wake up to check for messages (or critical updates or whatever else). I need it to

I appreciate that Noctie didn't beat me right away as most computers do. It gave me some chances. I blew it in the end anyway, but it was fun to play.

Hylang is fun and everything, but they make a lot of breaking changes in minor releases. It was "(import [module [function]])" in 0.20 and now in 0.25 it's "(import module [function])" and the old code doesn't

I've done quite a bit of development in C++. Now learning Rust for fun. My impression is that there is too much unnecessary complexity in Rust language and its type system that it gets in the way when you try express your thoughts in

How does zerotier performance compare to tailscale? Throughput and CPU usage-wise?

It's about two things: 1) latency, 2) cost. For the latency: 100ms is where the threshold is. Above 100ms, you start to really notice the latency and it becomes annoying to the point that you even start making mistakes while typing.

The Azure CTO knows as much about C++ as to easily confuse it with C. Anybody who say C/C++ is not aware that C++ is vastly different from C and it can't be combined into a single "language" like this. Mark Russinovic

Measures like SIP force application developers to create workarounds that compromise system security even more. Remember the recent Zoom vulnerability where they created a special service to autoupdate Zoom? If the system is too restricti

This is exactly why I use Linux. There is nothing subversive going on behind the scenes. My system trusts that I know what I'm doing and that's why I like it. Also on Windows, the first thing I do is disable the Windows Defender

So Linus wants to use an arm64 to build and test kernel. Why not use AWS Graviton instead? Graviton3 may be slightly less powerful than M1 for single core workloads, but for multicore workloads like building the kernel it's much bett

My opinion about Git commit messages has always been the same: if you can't describe it in English, you don't know what you're committing. If your commit message is too long and messy, you're committing unrelated things
