   You'd have to be more specific! For a long time OpenBSD was focussed on security through correctness and code review, so that portion is not necessarily reflected in any of the grsecurity/pax type hardened linuxes. But OpenBSD doe

   This has been a problem with trackpoints since as long as I can remember. Definitely saw pointer drift on a thinkpad running XP, and see it today on their latest. Wonder if they'll ever actually solve it.

    The point made in here about how your company is not your family cannot be emphasized enough. Corporate culture, and especially tech startup culture, likes to make you believe that we're all family and best friends and love each other.

    I earn remarkably more as a remote developer than I would for my area because I work remotely for a company based in a high income area (NYC) but live in the midwest. I probably make 20-30% more, at least, than a Senior Engineer at a local

    I too would most likely not get hired at my current company with the current interviewing process (which I am asked to do technical portions of!). Company growth really changes things.

    Both mysql and pgsql bypass the page cache if they can and maintain their own page caches. You have to do this, otherwise you’re double caching! That is, you’d have your own page cache, which you need to manage calls to read() and to know w

    Just in general, you can never take for granted the length of the data you're referencing via a pointer unless you absolutely control the whole input path and it's amazing to see that happening in code written at this level
