It's actually being integrated in Debian. (right now it's in the NEW queue, ie it's under final copyright review). See this bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=686447

I read the link, and I disagree that it answers these questions. It is presented as "the truly open source successor to the ZFS project", which is why I understood it was a fork. I agree that btrfs is not ready for production (and

I have trouble understanding the position of OpenZFS. My understanding is that Oracle ZFS, which can not be integrated in mainline Linux, can still be distributed as a separate project (zfsonlinux.org). On the other hand, Linux kernel devel

If you use "git rebase -i" a lot, you should give the "autosquash" option a try. Basically, it enables "commit --fixup <commit>" that will display the commits in the correct order the next time you rebase

I mean that the code works perfectly in the sense that the behaviour conforms to the specification, but it is hard to modify it. So, there's a problem with the code base, just one that is not visible if you don't want to extend th

I don't think that there is any particular problem in the code base. Its design, however, has been made with 1970s constraints in mind. A lot of people have thought about rewriting (parts) of TeX, but the amount of legacy is so high an

It's always possible to sandbox the processes. In that sense, it's not very different from the various http://try.$PROGRAMMINGLANGUAGE.org . For most of the sandboxing techniques, the performance can be however problema

You can, but it makes more sense to assign it to a void \*. After all, it's a pointer but you don't know the size of the pointed object. Note: this is not true everywhere since (data) pointers and function pointers can be represen

How can a zero-day be well documented? By definition it's not yet public.

Rust already does region inference for managing borrowed pointers, so I guess that all the information needed for this is already there.

As other comments note, this is missing the point a lot. QR codes are useful (or supposed to be) because they can be scanned from a different perspective. This solution requires a particular viewing angle and cannot cope with perspective sh

I did not answer this survey, for the following two reasons: - there are a lot of open-ended questions. It's probably very long to fill in. - required full name and email are a showstopper for me. Having a required email is ok of course, bu

I think that it introduces a (minor) security risk : if you have access to an idle session, and you can force a user authenticate through another means, then you can exploit the idle session to change password.

In the standard there is a notion of "significant prefix length". ie, your symbol names may actually be truncated. In C89 the minimum guaranteed length for exported symbols was 6 (IIRC) which explains why the libc symbols are so terse. Addi
