Split DNS causes lots headaches, it also makes it really hard to root cause analysis of failures when they involve DNS.

Lets hope that zig becomes a memory-safe language before 1.0 then.

"UB only if the hardware doesn't like it" sounds like you want to shift the complexity from the developers who know the problem domain best to the packagers. As soon as the thing is packaged to run on an raspberry or somethin

The case-sensitivity algorithm needs a locale as input in order to correctly calculate the case conversion rules. The most common example is probably that i (U+0069 LATIN SMALL LETTER I) and I (U+0049 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I) transform into

An important aspect/variant of this is that it's better to do nothing than fill your time with low quality distractions. By scrolling low signal/noise content we block ourselves from this fenomena.

What programming language do you use where there isn't performant hashing/compression algorithms implemented as libraries?

BMI measurements do have some signal for endurance athletes. People who win running competitions are quite tightly grouped BMI-wise. And for running I guess that makes sense, a kg of muscle weights as much as a kg of fat. Even if that kg of

But would that really be faster when you need to read every byte of a file? I thought memory mapping solved a different problem.

There is also a time aspect to the equation. The goal is to improve wages and conditions for workers in a sustainable way so that the improvements are guaranteed to persist over time and not be a one time thing. Basically it's importan

That could be a long play from the employer side to disincentivize the workers from joining forming/joining a union.

This is why I really like Debians policy of being self-contained, that everything in Debian is built from sources that are in the Debian system. It takes a lot more effort to package stuff, since you can't just download your dependenci

It would be impossible to enforce that issued certs are submitted to certificate transparency logs and this would break the security model around the ca system.

The notion/mindset that "This tool can only be used if you are good enough" is an enormous design smell in my opinion. Tooling exist to help you and your team do the required work as good or fast as possible. If you are using

This is interesting, do you know where I can look at the numbers for this? My gut feeling was that the realistic way to handle car emissions will be to migrate the global car pool to electrical, but I don't have any hard number to back

In my packaging work I encounter hard coded assumptions about pointer width, endianness and presence of atomic operations.

They use that at work on some of the freeze seating places. It's quote buggy and resource hungry on macos and didn't play nice at all on my Ubuntu.

Debian only ships free software (in main, but that's a detail). This is actually enforced and there is processes in place to ensure that it stays that way. This means that all new software that Debian packages is audited by a group of

But people who write criticisms provide a valuable service to me as an consumer. I have limited amount of time and before I spend 20 hours on a book or game I would like some indication that it's not a waste of time. One could argue th

This is a pretty sad state of affairs. * There is no namespaces, so all internal packages must be individually protected * It's easy to misconfigure the various python package tools to open you up to dependency confusion attacks * The

Wouldn't that require that the complete boot chain is totally locked down and cryptographically secure? If you can insert a usb-plug and boot from that you could unlock the disk with the help of the tpm, or interrupt grub and set init=
