File descriptors are local to a process (after all, fd 0 is each process's personal stdin). The special extra data passed to sendmsg makes the kernel map a new fd in the receiving process, granting it access to the underlying file. I

That's an interesting solution. It seems to me if you have to go to a storage space to pick up you groceries you could just as well go to a grocery store to pick up your groceries, couldn't you?

Thanks! That makes sense. I didn't see this in their docs, ut your comment inspired me to look harder. It seems their "learn more" link doesn't say much, but if you pick "Help" from the footer it has a more

I tried Google Shopping Express (a similar idea) for a while and found that what really matters is how delivery works. I'm typically at work all day and I (like most San Franciscans?) don't have a doorman to receive deliveries. Th

It's because browsers are unreliable about delivering async posts when the page navigates elsewhere. Some people proposed extending the web APIs to provide a reliable mechanism but it was shot down by complaints of "tracking&quot

It's a little ironic to see this guy complaining about people insulting him. In porting Google Chrome to Linux we encountered a bug running under kwin, and my colleagues tracked the issue down to a bug in kwin and even wrote a patch th

This looks really neat. It also helps me understand why so many websites look bad on non-Mac platforms (aka 90% of desktops): designers who do stuff like "that looks a bit heavy, let's bump down the font weight a bit" withou

I asked my local SSL expert, and he mentioned: the list the client sends is just a preference list; the server can choose what it wants. For example, nginx by default[1] specifies an OpenSSL cipher list of HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5, which you can ex

Much like television, smoking, or facebook, it's pretty easy for me to look at these products, look at what the users get out of them, and make the conscious decision not to use them. That isn't to say it's easy to quit smok

Historically, the web standards process was theorized to work like: 1) vendor introduces new feature, tagged with vendor name to not pollute the namespace (e.g. -webkit-foo, or msapplication-TileColor from the OP) 2) once feature becomes po

I think by default your terminal is in "cooked" mode, where stdin is buffered a line at a time. Try cat /dev/fd/0 then type some things including backspace and enter. However, you don't need ncurses to

For all the many problems with X11, it's still pretty cool that you can run something as complicated as Chrome in a headless manner just by running another program (xvfb) that speaks the protocol. (I keep intending to hack Blink into a

Chrome tries to use hardware acceleration features of your video card and in my experience it rarely works on Linux. If you visit about:gpu and see anything mentioning it making use of hardware acceleration, try going to settings, and sear

That's great to read. The last time I looked into purchasing flowers outside of SF I was sad to discover that most local florists are themselves effectively just resellers of gross FTD flowers, so it seems like a service like yours ca

An easier approach to the submodule problem is to use "git subtree" to copy in any dependencies of the project into your tree. Then (1) your project always builds against exactly the version of the dependency you tested against,

I opened the comments here to see if anyone else had this problem. I made a Chrome extension that fixes it. Unlike tools like readability, all it does is take the thing you click on and change it into a large black-on-white font. https:&

Initially, Chrome attempted to allow setTimeout()s under the 15ms or so that was standard across browsers, which led to it winning some benchmarks and some accusations of foul play. The intent was pure -- why artificially clamp JavaScript

(Disclaimer: I used to work on Chrome. I'm more than a year out at this point but I still talk to Chrome developers.) Chrome wins some tests but loses the most on the start-up benchmarks, which is a real bummer. There was a time wher
