Oh, pity the (faux?) naive child who has been brought up on a diet of McCarthyism. You’re so scared of reds under the bed that you can’t see what the (increasingly far-)right wing are doing to you.

There was an old woman who swallowed a fly … Twitter is maybe at the dog stage. Perhaps it’ll die.

I might be wrong, but there’s nothing to stop a front end UI from accepting this syntax and then writing out canonical SQL to do the actual query, is there?

My bad, I was unclear - I used to admin IRIX years ago, hence using XFS before it got ported to Linux, but then carried on using it once available. I do have an old Challenge S in the basement that I should dig out though …

25+ years using XFS (IRIX user). Never a single problem (hardware failures aside). My go-to filesystem.

Nice. Be good if the language had an easy way to handle it, eg.: while(condition)[1000 label]{…}

I’ve used it to write a layer 4 load balancer to replace old hardware appliances. Similar to Facebook’s Katran, but switches traffic at layer 2 (rather than L3) for compatibility and in Go rather than C++,’cos I’m not a great coder ;-)

You need to slightly modify your code. Rather than: while (condition) { … } Do: #define MAX 1000 for n = 0; n < MAX; n++ { if !condition break; … } Unroll all loops, don’t allow any backward jumps and limit to (say) 1m instructions.

Taking an opportunity here for a completely shameless plug for an enterprise-y wg based corporate VPN. Uses mTLS for device auth, wg (obvs), OIDC to authenticate users/set up firewall access (Azure AD and Keycloak tested). Runs as a re

Seconded. I just wrote a script to generate Terraform code to create a VM in the company vSphere clusters, only needing host name and IP address (optional flags for meme/cpu/etc). Description of datacentres, subnets, etc as YAML i

Should be something that could quite easily be added to a uWSGI subscription router - subscribing node periodically says “I have N slots available” and the router keeps track of how many requests are in flight.

Should you wish to give DSR load balancing a go without having to invest in hardware/licenses you could try https://github.com/davidcoles/vc5 Put that in front of some HAProxy servers to do TLS termination and far

Oi! 50 isn’t elderly! I need to book my appointment as they texted me. I can only remember getting flu once, in my 20s, and it felt like I was going to die. 25 years later I’m gonna avoid the flu like the plague!

But this is Fraser Nelson, editor of the Spectator, writing in the Telegraph - both publications have been the absolute cheerleaders of the Conservative administration’s descent into an idiocracy. Reap what you sow, Fraser, you dolt.

The FSU/Daily Sceptic/Toby Young is conspiracy theoristic, grifting, scam. He knows that he broke the T&Cs - learning to cry for fun and profit. The sad thing is that TY’s dad coined the term “meritocracy” and he’s the only re

Happy to be corrected, but screenwriter for EotS, surely, as JG Ballard wrote the book?
