A way to deal with the problem? I think this is how the problem was created in the first place: the authors wrote the reference implementation, but then didn't test it enough, didn't think of all possible ways things can go wrong.

You kind of put the cart before the horse... Threads are the coping mechanism, that has to cope with signals, not the other way around. Threads exist in the way they are because of the original bad design (which included signals). Potenti

C is neither fast nor low-level... none of these descriptors have any meaning. It's a pointless discussion when you don't care to explain how you use the words that obviously have many related but different ways to interpret them.

I anticipate the horror stories of trying to import JIRA databases into new bug trackers when these news hit the fan. Things are going to get spicy.

My baptism by fire was when I had to write Protobuf parser and generator. It's the same exact story: format author didn't think it through, didn't realize some bad consequences are about to be had, made vague or unrealistic

I think ISO is seekable and from the sound of it, you want something to work on an OS where you have very little control over the utilities it offers (i.e. MS Windows), where, I think ISO is supported by the pre-installed system utilities.

Don't worry, you aren't the only one. Python craps its pants when this happens too. You see, Python packages (i.e. Wheels) are Zip files, and can be installed w/o unpacking them. There are various tools in standard library,

What I'm trying to say is that this approach prevents developers from effectively working with the tools their projects rely on to function. I.e. be it Ant, Maven or Cradle, in order to carry out project-related tasks they will rely on

Documentation for the product I'm working on recently hit 3k pages PDF (it's split in 6 volumes). Most of this documentation was created because there was no product management. No, really... some customer-facing guy would com

No idea what C-scroll does. Is it same / similar to C-x C-+ / C-x C--? If so, I think it's designed to increase / decrease in steps that would fit into desired resolution... but I'm not 100% sure about it. This i

Yes. This. If you copy from unsaved file, you are risking to lose both the file you are baking up and the backup.

Recently, we hat to add some front-end tests for the admin panel of the product. QA jointly with front-end team decided to use Cypress. I think, front-end were already using it for unit tests (aptly named by Cypress end-to-end tests), and

Most of these suggestions are either bad or useless. The only one I can get behind is to use spaces for indentation instead of using a mix of tabs and spaces. Other than that: author has some very unique problems (changing fonts so often t

Well, if you are going in the direction of tighter QA integration, there are several interesting things that tools like JIRA are missing, and sometimes plugins try to complement, but not quite. If we accept that bug tracker is to be a plann

Thanks. I'll take a look. On the surface: it's the same as JIRA, Mantis, RedMine, Track etc.: a time-tracking GUI program. Not at all what I wanted. There's nothing bad about being a time-tracker, just not what I need.

I keep looking at various JIRA alternatives, but no good finds so far. This is definitely not it. I don't really like the idea of bug tracker as a sort of a GUI program that acts like time management software, i.e. focuses on planning

Suffering doesn't come from not compiling. Suffering comes from inability to trust your system. Not everyone suffers from this. Most don't care. But then the question is why would they care in the case described by the articl

That's not a point of view. This is a consequence of a choice. If you use an operating system that denies you the right to verify its source, then why do you care if an individual component allows you to do that? -- This doesn'
