A bit surprised it doesn't mention the use of curly braces. Perhaps they assume their "state of the art" static code analysis tools will find potential issues (like Apple's goto fail failure).

Exactly. >The downside seems to be that you now have to show that your system will reliably terminate if it receives SIGTERM. That's not a problem unless it's followed by a SIGKILL (like from an init system).

When you actually work with especially embedded devices, you know that there's a big difference. Powerloss/SIGKILL must not corrupt/break your data/application. That is _not_ the same thing as for a network application f

Or why not make them #!/bin/sh compatible instead, I don't have bash on my systems for instance.

A proper init system will send you a SIGTERM before a normal reboot/shutdown, and also for stopping the program. I do agree that "power failure safety" is a good way to go, but ignoring to handle SIGTERM if there is a use for

I'd recommend adding some kind of max retries mechanism because otherwise, if process ignores SIGTERM for instance, you can wait forever.

... in the context "dash is now available on iOS", since thats what we're talking about, right. Obscure UNIX shell? Wow.

When speaking of dash, one usually means 'Debian Almquist SHell'. [In the context: 'dash is now available on iOS' to make it abundantly clear]

Last msg sounded a bit harsh, sry about that. Anyway, some things to consider: 1. You don't need bash, but rather use /bin/sh to be more compatible with other shells (I don't have bash, neither does a lot of other system

Facebook oughta hire some better scripters, the deps.sh is of terribly low quality. I didn't get more than a couple of lines until i stumble upon this (which tells me the author has no clue :): 'start_dir=`pwd`; trap "cd $sta

If people take it to the level of actually murdering him, then yes, it's insane.

I'm not defending shitty bevaiour at all (and taking it to a personal level such as killing people, thats just insane). Having said that, I'm not surprised though that the shitstorm is hitting systemd (and Lennart Poettering) perh

Was just gonna say that; "Users won’t find any UI in Firefox to enable or disable Prefer:Safe, which becomes one less thing for kids to try to circumvent to disable this control." That's good, make them hackers instead by mak

Is it just me that wants to have complete control over stuff? I mean if you really have the need to use a library like libevent you most likely know why and could do your own handling rather easily. I'm not saying there's not a ne

Neat. Although it's getting more and more complicated when things have different meanings depending on state.

No it did not fell out of the parachute. To the obvious: If it would have been in the parachute, it would be moving at the same velocity as both the parachute and the man. It obviously can't have been under the parachute, it would have

I figured it might have existed previously and don't mean that he would have invented the idea. Although , I find it quite interesting that King launches a very similar game as the author who just turned down their offer. It just is

How about this comparison? BlockBreaker is a game by a friend of mine: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/block-breaker/id412901690?mt... It won a best game award 2011 and King offered him a job after that compe
