I'd go a little bit further here: I run Mastodon on a 1 GB VPS as well, but I found I had to make the swap file permanent to stop it from running out of memory. It's not super heavy but it is heavy, and even though swap is slow, i

I feel like you are several metaphors removed from me right now. Rowhammer? Spectre? I am just trying to serve a couple of websites here! I'm not going to buy another rack of servers just to isolate the two. Have you seen how expensive

Thanks for writing this! Honestly, it does make me feel better about the whole situation.

There's one thing that keeps stopping me from adopting the mailing list approach, in favour of GitHub Pull Requests, and that's this: If, ten seconds after I've clicked Submit, I discover an embarrassing error in the code, or

It's possible they will do both, and I hope they do! I should add the disclaimer that I didn't actually expect them to talk about stability or Catalina's woes, for general corporate "avoid talking about things that mak

Unfortunately you're still stuck with having to run a thread pool if you want to do something that has no async version, such as reading a directory. I wish it went further!

I know it's a very general question, but can I ask what sort of calculations you perform using Mathematica? Every time it has a new release, I download the demo and play around with it, but I never get as far as using it to actually c

This, this, this! It's been said elsewhere in these comments, but the term "micro"-services really do them a disservice, like it's expected that you need to break your application up into little pieces, to eliminate comp

I do this as well — "Upgrade from image b1257 to b1262". As a bonus, you can tell every tag that doesn't fit the b-then-a-build-number naming convention hasn't come from CI.

The refined scissor mechanism with 1 mm of travel delivers a responsive, comfortable, and quiet typing experience. The inverted-T arrow keys help you fly through lines of code, spreadsheets, or game environments. This isn't progress.

Question: is io_uring only worth using for writing to files, or does it provide performance benefits when reading from them, as well? I've seen database programmers rave about the speed benefits of asynchronous I/O, because they

I'm in complete agreement. Thanks to automated crash report uploading, the software I use is more stable than ever — it's a genuine surprise to me when an application crashes, and I can't remember the last time I had to reb

Learning lessons? They're making their website worse on purpose! They don't want people to use the Reddit website — they want people to use the app, because that's where all the ads and tracking is.

This is a nice overview of Rust's available error-handling crates, and some improvements to the language that are error-related. But I'd like to quickly point out that you do not have to pick a library from this list! I don&#x27
