Not to put transfer.sh down - it's very useful in many situations, I'm sure! - but I just run a permanent webserver on all the machines I want to share files from. I discuss this more in http://catern.com/computers

As the blog post says, sometimes people mock because they're incapable of running the real system. That's just another reason why it's important to be able to run your system... http://catern.com/run.html

That's hubris. The reason we're in this situation, where a lack of dense housing is causing housing prices to rise, is because earlier planners were confident 50 years ago that single-family homes were the best option, and they we

"Memory space" is usually called "address space". And I think you're confused - context switching is expensive but there's no context switching involved when you're running in parallel across N cores. We&#

You're saying that shared memory concurrency is the future? I think you've got it completely wrong. Shared memory concurrency is the past. It was thought to be a good idea in the 80s and 90s, but we now know that it's both

Yes, sorry, "horrible" was a bit strong and I edited that out of my comment immediately after posting it, heh... I do appreciate the progress, but I worry that people will regard this incarnation of ranked choice voting as "m

The really unfortunate thing about NYC's ranked choice voting is that you're limited to ranking only 5 candidates. This means you still need to engage in tactical voting. You can't just rank the candidates you like, in the or

Yeah, you'd think they'd have moved to the cloud by now.

That's somewhat uncharitable. patchelf, for example, is one tool developed by NixOS which is widely used for reproducible build efforts. (although I don't know concretely if Debian uses it today)

Why does hackable hardware even offer a warranty in the first place? Is there some kind of legal requirement that you must offer a warranty?

That may be true - I'm not a hardware engineer. But it's interesting that that sounds exactly like the propaganda that proprietary software vendors used to use to warn against open source software - you don't know what you&#x

Are these "fakes" mostly broken or nonfunctional chips? Or are they mostly chips produced by third party factories without the license for the chip IP? If it's the latter, I think that would be something to welcome - the offi

Not necessarily; you can remove the cumbersome async/await syntax while still tracking concurrency/mutation/control effects with an effect system, which might come with effect inference. Also, even without effect inference, i

This is a good technique, and it's preferable to investing a bunch of effort into building a comprehensive suite of unit tests. But this technique is applicable to more than just core libraries; you can apply this to your entire stack,

Sure, I saw that example. Maybe let me put it a different way: if a client has one inbound FIX connection to HAProxy, can HAProxy connect to N backend servers and send each FIX message from the single client connection to a different backen

by catern 5y ago
The added support for FIX is interesting. As far as I can tell it's just TCP-level load balancing, is that right? HAProxy doesn't have the ability to, say, distribute each incoming order to a different backend server?

SELinux is pretty inflexible and incompatible with multi-user systems that deploy stuff without privileges - it assumes you can have global policy that applies to everything, which doesn't work well with containers, or browsers, or eve
