   This has all happened impressively quickly. Apple released their ARM64 implementation at the end of March ( http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.llvm.devel/716... ). Whether to merge the existing AArch64 in to A

   If only there was an LLVM backend to generate BPF. Oh wait, there is! As readers of LLVM Weekly ( http://llvmweekly.org ) will know, an implementation was posted to LKML a while back: https://lkml.org/lkml/201

   But my point is on a clean build there is no previous file to compare against.

   How can you ensure that a fresh build on a new machine gives the same result? I can see how you can guarantee the same result in terms of file contents, but not on the file modification timestamp. e.g. if I have access to the last build it

   Systemd detractors seem to view the pre-systemd landscape through rose-tinted glasses or at least completely ignore what has been going on with the desktop. I hardly think ConsoleKit embodied the UNIX philosophy, and if the various desktop

   I fail to understand the swipe at Canonical for having /bin/sh point to dash. Having /bin/sh point to a lightweight POSIX compliant shell seems a wholly sensible choice. Indeed, the ability to swap out one implementation

    The problem is they're now relying heavily on AWS spot instances, and neither Google or Microsoft have a competing spot market.

    Correct, there's no current official support. You can kexec to your own kernel which is kind of ok as a workaround.

    Initially they had no bandwidth charges. Upon introducing them, the customer base was "grandfathered" in to free bandwidth. I assume this is the set of customers they are referring to, so it doesn't kind of make sense...but o

    So people are immediately going to chime in about what a pain ensuring good deliverability is. What always gets me is why all these "set up your own email server" guides are so all or nothing. It would seem rather more pragmatic t

    For some time now, Apple have been working on using LLVM as a fourth tier JIT. For those not familiar with the concept, the modern JS JITs have a series of tiers optimised for different workloads. e.g. JavascriptCore starts in an interprete
