In bash: IGNOREEOF=10 In zsh: setopt ignore_eof In ksh: set +o ignoreeof In tcsh/csh: set ignoreeof Normally I just do this for login shells, so I can quickly exit out of subshells.

I think that's a poor description of the LIDARless controversy. In the current state of the art there are many things that a self-driving car can do better than any human (reaction speed, never gets distracted, etc) Then there are oth

Agreed. As many pointed out when the 1.1.1.1 DNS service was introduced, it's an address that is often used (incorrectly) as an internal or temporary IP. Then all it takes is a slight mistake in your route redistribution and suddenly

Yes, the fact that "BBC4" and "Channel 4" are completely different things is (understandably) missed by nearly everyone outside the UK.

eBPF is far evolved from "classic" BPF, though. There is a historical relationship (hence the name) but they're very different animals at this point. Also, the traditional use of BPF wasn't to filter network traffic, bu

As someone said above, it's a polarising place. On one hand, I'm sure I would hate living in a city where everything looked like the Barbican. Yet, every time I'm there I'm awed by its strange beauty. It has such a str

Don't underestimate how terrible the low-incoming housing stock was beforehand. It was already decades behind the standards that you'd find in, say, an American city (mostly because London had grown huge earlier than they had, so

I sort of agree that there isn't any strong reason for an interactive shell to have 100% bash compatibility. However, when I tried to convert to using fish I found my muscle-memory used too many simple history substitutions like &quot

Well, by your standard most compilers used today are "broken". Possibly causing a segfault is not a side effect the compiler is required to respect. If you want to force the compiler to not remove a memory operation in C, you nee

Yes, if UNIX had supported multithreading from the start, there is no way they would have chosen "errno" as the solution. Obvious in hindsight, not so much in the 1970s.

The only time I've found it useful is making macros that expect an array a little safer in C++. For example: #define count(array) (sizeof(array) / sizeof(0[array])) ...will conveniently cause a compile error if you accid

Interesting that user time went up as well.. not sure if that's significant. I guess it's not too surprising that mmap isn't much of a win these days for anything... SIMD can copy a memory page pretty fast these days. I just

It would be interesting to benchmark how much mmap hurts when operating in a non-parallel mode. I think a lot of the residual love for mmap is because it actually did give decent results back when single core machines were the norm. Howeve

I don't think that's quite true. When I first started in the early 1990s, it was pretty expensive to get into as a hobby. I could have been fairly economically comfortable in my college years, but was constantly making myself bro

Yes last I checked you could still build firefox on platforms they didn't have a JIT for, so it certainly must be possible. Sadly, SpiderMoney isn't as commonly used for embedding compared to V8. Maybe Spidernode will take off i

What would be the killer feature for me would be if I could select an interpreter-only mode... ideally at either compile-time or run-time. The products I work on sometimes need to be deployed in environments where JIT code is disallowed due

No, I think you're confused. What they've said is that they're not willing to negotiate BEFORE the 2 years is TRIGGERED. i.e. they don't want the UK to foot-drag on triggering A50 and prolonging the process indefinitely

One thing this article doesn't mention is the political risk in each place. Amsterdam is ranked high, but many consider it The Netherlands the next "domino to fall" since the far-right anti-EU party is polling so well there.

I'm not even that optimistic. First, one of the prime exports to the EU is financial services. Major financial flows -- even ones in Euros -- are largely done through London. I can't imagine the remaining countries consenting to
