Why would a desktop program need these sort of restrictions?

This is what process' mount namespace is for. Various container implementations use it. With modern Linux you don't even need a third-party container manager, systemd-nspawn comes with the system and should be able to do that. The

I was born in Ukraine and moved to Israel (made "aliyah") in 1999. I moved to the Netherlands for work in 2021. I'm not an Israeli by Israeli standards :) And will never be. But, of course, I'm a citizen, I can read and

The company I work for is guilty of abusing 3. We use it for debug output of user-supplied scripts that are meant to implement monitoring / metrics :'( This is the first time I hear about stddata though. Is this a thing that'

Not enough programmers talk to QA, and so are oblivious to testing. The benchmarking here is... pointless. Here's my story (of writing a Protobuf parser) to illustrate why. I already wrote about it before, but it keeps happening, so,

by crabbone 1y ago
Neither of them are well-designed or well thought-through. They address some cosmetic issues of Protobuf, but don't really deal with the major issues. So, you could say they are slightly better, but the original was bad enough to comp

I think this package is, basically, a requirement for anything Web-related in Python, but also stuff like SSH (so Paramico? or similar? Didn't look if they depend on it). So, also stuff like Ansible... well, anything that needs to auth

Out of curiosity, yes, I did. But I don't have any use for this tool. I can do better without it. I use these tools because I'm often requested to help those who use them and in so doing make a mess out of their working environ

Tube is the rubber "doughnut" that goes inside the tire. The part that you usually need to replace if you run over a sharp object and puncture a hole. It's probably called different things around the world.

We run an airgapped version of JIRA (but we are a very big company, globally distributed). Performance is in the gutter. The annoying part is the amount of garbage fixes in JIRA's UI. For example, because of the loading speed, and me l

A wireless (electronic) device simplifies the setup? What kind of insane fantasy is this? Will you really be able to fix your broken wireless gear box in field conditions? This is the proof of simplicity, not some superficial observatio

You will need to take it apart any time you need to change the tube... "no connections" is a fantasy. I've never seen anything wireless being more reliable than a mechanical analog. Anecdotally, I moved into a house that had

I'm with you on this! Here's a bit of a marginally related rant. So, I moved to the Netherlands about four years ago. Of course I needed a bike. Since I was a child, I always fixed my bike if there was a problem. I've repla

Absolutely, children in Gaza, just like in many other war-torn places need help. The problem is that UNICEF doesn't just provide help. It feels entitled to come up with resolutions that put the blame on one of the parties in the conf

This is in response to the flagged comment that, apparently, I cannot comment on. I'm not thrilled about what current US administration is doing when it comes to international NGOs. UNESCO is one example. However, there's also ano

Now come on... for code golf? Why on Earth would anyone want extra syntax in a language with already tons of bloat in the syntax that contribute nothing to language's capabilities? It's, in Bill Gates words, like paying to make

I think there's a package to treat Jupyter notebooks as source code (so you can import them as modules). While the OP package is obviously a joke, the one with notebooks is kind of useful. And, of course, obligatory quote about how lan

Well, there's this story about how printing failed Arabic. Allegedly, in Italy, they tried to print a Koran, but because the printers didn't speak Arabic, and were trained on Latin scripts, they messed it up so much that the Arab

Yes and no. The problem of audit of third-party code is real. Especially because of the way GitHub allows embedding it in users' code: it's not centralized, doesn't require signatures / authentication. But, I think, the

Neither Python nor Ruby offer a simple interface to concurrency, serialization and terseness. Not even close. And aren't moving in the desired direction. Perl could have tried... but it's a separate can of worms, and still not qui

Not really (at least, not very easily). There's no guarantee that for whatever reason curl won't hang. To do it properly, you'd need some code before the loop to start a separate process that would check on the parent process
