That participant's video / audio quality degrades rapidly. As far as I understand it, appear uses point-to-point webrtc connections for each participant. Another issue I've run into is that sometimes, I can hear/see a pa

Zoom is rock solid on Linux. If they had rooms that were super easy to join spontaneously like appear.in, there'd be no reason to use anything else.

This works great on Linux, as long as everyone has a solid internet connection. The mobile app has improved a little, but is still quite lacking.

This is pretty fascinating. I think it might explain why the Spanish word for "gentleman" is "Caballero", or "horseman". It is also the word used for "knight", which makes more literal sense.

I guess it might sometimes be fine to be a relativist and write off the need for tests as a result of "nuanced thinking," but I think you have to accept that you are running a risk by shipping untested code into your product. As o

Good point, dlopen is fully run-time, and the strace approach will catch those too, so it's more comprehensive.

This is a cool trick. On Linux, the ldd command also tells you what libraries a program wants to link to. You can also play around with LD_LIBRARY_PATH to manipulate what ldd tells you.

Maybe not in this particular article/thread, but it's been widely discussed how starting a family can be disruptive to a woman's career and professional development. The reasons it's disruptive could be due to companies

I believe GP was referring to the `clone` system call, which both fork and pthread_create use under the covers. The difference is what happens to the memory-resident data- the forked/child program shares the address space of the parent

All the "useful" stuff you're thinking of very likely started out much less polished / refined than this project. It seems to have struck a chord with this audience, and it will only get better from here.

Digging trenches and laying out cables over entire neighborhoods is probably natural monopoly territory... i.e. it's not easily achievable without proper regulation / governemnt involvement. Therefore, another way to look at this

In places I've worked in before that needed to join concurrent changes across repositories, we would have the build system always build from a super-repo that had the other repositories tracked as submodules. Co-dependent changes were

I agree, there's too much uncertainty with line numbers, especially in a changing codebase. A system I used to work on (in C) had the build system generate unique error codes for every unique error point. The codes were 64 bits and con

AIX defaults to ksh88. My first job out of college a long time ago was to maintain and enhance AIX's various installers, which involves some 100KLOC (!!) of ksh scripts. I was one of the first people on the team to move newer projects

Man I loved the approach to narrow down the offending object file using the regex on the SHA hash of the binaries. That would've saved me lots of time hunting and guessing bugs with cscope+kdb back in my kernel hacker days!

I love uberconference and use it whenever call reliability is really important because participants can always dial-in in the worst case scenario. One interesting edge case I ran into with uberconference was that I was trying to setup a sal

To echo what others have said, it's great if everyone's internet connection is rock solid. It seems that their calls are setup as fully connected graph between participants, and it has happened more than once that I can hear some

Turns out such a thing really did happen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Eclipse ... in this case, the eclipse led to the battle being canceled in favor of a peace treaty, out of fear of divine rage. Dan C

When you change early 80s thrash metal from minor key to major key, you get something that's pretty close to punk rock. Metallica's Kill 'Em All in major key is a fun listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9

I once watched this show for 5 minutes with a relative, who replied to my groaning with (paraphrasing) "The pyramids are way too big to have been built by primitive humans way back then. Why not aliens?"

If you scroll down and look at South America, it's pretty remarkable how the clouds clearly carve out the Andes mountain range. All the swirling moisture from the southern Pacific smashes into the wall of the mountains and breaks apart

I usually send files to friends by hosting a local web server (python -m SimpleHTTPServer) then forwarding the port via ngrok (ngrok 8000 http) I understand why this isn't a widespread solution, but it works great, and use it to share

It so happens that our own planet was once a monobiome kinda like Hoth: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowball_Earth Admittedly, this was before the Cambrian explosion.

I think GRRM is raking in too much cash from TV to have time to really contemplate the myriad consequences of all the mixed loyalties and character crossings the story has entangled. I'm not surprised the books haven't been finish
