I'd go as far as saying most networked concurrent file access will ruin your life one way or another, because it's just a hard problem , and it's trying to solve it at a very odd layer; a "classic" fs can't re

Please try keeping your snide comments to issues they actually apply to. This is a logic bug, with the kernel missing a piece of abnormality handling. You can get the exact same bug in a microkernel (or, FWIW, a memory safe, e.g. Rust) impl

Please show me the keyboard layout that has keys for ⁺, ř and ₚ. (Unless you're being pedantic because I wrote "keyboard" rather than "keyboard layout", or ignored the qualifying "pretty much". In either

I am a fan of "const", because it is useful in expressing API constraints and behavior. Contrast against putting "register" on a function parameter being useless because either it's passed by value, then it's

I mean, yeah, but that function is really only an aid for the programmer in self-enforcing that rule; the compiler already knows whether the address of the variable is taken anywhere, and behave as is useful if it isn't taken anywhere…

That one might actually be better, nice to know & thanks for the pointer! (I hope it actually goes somewhere…)

Mhm. Putting the dummy member into the embedded node doesn't give a path from the proper object to find the embedded node "mid-struct". run-time checks are the "easy way out". We/I'll stick to macro soup p

I guess if anyone might know it might be you—do you see any way of doing this for intrusive data structures, embedding the node struct in the data (and as side effect supporting an object to be on multiple containers) rather than the data i

Hrm. Fair point. But will the other humans, even if they have the shared context, also have the ability to type in these symbols, if they want to edit the code? They probably don't have your vim extension… I guess maybe this is an arg

by eqvinox 1y ago
Interesting idea with the union and using typeof(). We (I) went with large macros defining wrappers instead, which, I believe, is a necessity with intrusive data structures, or at least I don't immediately see how to do that with unio

Yes but also no. The thing about software is that 90% of it is not culturally bound. If you're writing, say, some tax reporting tool, a grammar reference, or something religious… sure, it makes sense to write that in your language. S

Using the "register" storage class feels really alien for C code written in 2025…

Mhm. I'll absolutely agree some infrastructure is at its limit/oversubscribed, but I also think you're generalizing a bit too much from your own experience without data to back it up. Btw. Wooden sleepers laid in the 19th c

What you're probably referring to is still in there, except they're not asking for a new defense pact with Russia in it, they're asking for a security system (with Russia in it). (page 89) On the same page, they're also

I'm not even disagreeing, just right now the AfD does not have actual power yet . They cannot make federal laws or decide policy. They probably will be able to do that either after the next election or after the government coalition

Arguing its SED successor status 35 years after the end of the GDR is positively silly, especially considering it's only half right since the party is a fusion of PDS and WASG, the latter having no SED or GDR connection at all. And fro

Polls != 'strongest' party. You need actual power for that latter label. Which is not far off for the AfD, but really not there right now. If/when the coalition starts infighting, then…

Other way around, Wagenknecht is the one who didn't distance herself from the Kremlin and forked off her own party, BSW, which finally enabled Die Linke to get at least some distance from the Kremlin. (This schism was fracturing that

I would highly recommend reading up on VRFs and slotting that into the policy routing bits. It's really almost the same thing (same "ip route" commands with 'table' even), but better encapsulated.

exim, if configured to do so (which is a reasonable initial spam barrier), will also reject mails due to this behaviour. It's sufficiently common (for spam) that I filtered it from logs to avoid junk buildup.

Technical/pedantic answer: you can store a 'normalized' hashed form of the password, e.g. before hashing it, convert it to all lowercase, replace all digits with 0, sort the characters, … and then do the same to the new passw
