The author does point out that these problems come up when implementing various data structures. It might be surprising to some folks, but there is a lot of unsafe code in Rust, and a lot of that is in the standard’s data structure impl

What's all this controversy with GNOME? I must be missing something. Isn't it perfectly reasonable to say that some security issue in a dependency (which is maintained and open and funded, like WebKit or Linux) is not the fault of

These were three pants from Lululemon, figured they’d be good. None of them lasted more than 6 months. Admittedly, I bike and walk a lot , so probably I put more strain on them than I should have. But, come on, that’s why I got them, and s

Few years back, I thought it was wise to invest in some semi-pricey clothes which were intended to suite me for a while. The only formal stuff I had at the time was my Dad’s, or something I thrifted, which didn’t quite fit. Some pants, shir

Part of why monads are not interesting to talk about is that they’re generic enough that most explanations are incomplete, and sufficient explanations are boring and unhelpful. But the biggest reason is that they’re sort of intuitive, plent

Linux has pledge? Huh? `pledged = (p->p_p->ps_flags & PS_PLEDGE);`

I want to thank everyone here who pointed out deficiencies in this little library. Good catches :)

Nevermind — there are ways for deleting colliding items to cause other colliding items to be “forgotten”, and one solution would be to implement slot cycling on deletion

by e-dant 2y ago
Good catch! Yes, that looks like a bug :)

There’s no slot cycling logic. When a k,v pair at some index is deleted, and a different k,v pair has a matching hash, there’s a (small?) penalty in the hm_get logic that will eventually the right k,v pair. I need a bit more clarification o

I like the exercise of trying to find the simplest reasonable solution to some problem. Many of my toy and hobby projects are exactly that. Some make allowances for the sake of performance and generality. The hash map, though, is up there w

This was originally meant to solve the problem of zombie processes in Docker containers (hence the name and issue nr.; moby/9098). I’ve found this more succinct in other contexts than backgrounding tasks, writing pid files, and maintai

logrotate (which you really ought to use if you can) happens to use rename() under the hood to move the primary logfile into rotation, which confuses programs already writing to it (they will now be writing to the rotated file, which is wei

I hate init py files the same way I hate Java’s verbosity. If it looks like a package, it’s a package. If I want to be explicit, I’ll write something in C.

I always squint a little bit when folks mention nanoseconds. The overheard of observing the time is around 60 nanoseconds. Light travels about a foot in a nanosecond. Below ~500 nanoseconds, things get fuzzy.

What’s the protocol actually? All I can see are hardcoded ping/pong “meow” messages going over a hardcoded client and server. But maybe the ping/pong is part of the protocol? It’s not clear. Anyway, this redundancy-based protocol

Oh, I started searching for some hot topics in the rust lkml, ouch, there’s some bad stuff in there. Linus seems reasonable in comparison…

I must be missing something obvious. I’m not aware of any too-frequent toxicity in the rust lkml. Just seems like a lot of groundwork is still being laid, without much even having been started. The article makes it seem like things are actu
