To pass files into VM I use lsyncd. It synchronizes changes to even big source trees over plain ssh and rsync. Of cause with big tree the initial copy takes time, but there is no security implications of exposing files to potentially untrus

I second this! I have a shell script to download if necessary Debian, run its installer with setting matching production and then run VM with necessary development directories exposed to it. I tried initially to do that with virsh, but then

Modules in theory for big source trees with a lot of small files and long include lists can reduce compilation time by factor of 5 as that time is dominated by repeated parsing of headers.

I rented Model-3 in Norway. Self-driving just did work not on curved mountain roads unless one is prepared to tolerate constant jerks to left and right. So I quickly turned that off. But I was impressed by how well the car could stick to th

I was not arguing for these types of interviews. My point was that one can rationally explain apparently useless quiz questions. And yes, this is a strong selection bias to pick people that agree to play by arbitrary rules without questioni

This is how it is with IT companies paying well above average. Given that they are able to pay such salaries this interview strategy is compatible with big profits. It could be that by changing interview strategy to look more similar to ot

Some companies want to test if a person spent time preparing for the interview. So asking all those quiz questions does make sense even if they are no relevant. At least it shows that the person knows the rules of the game and is willing to

If one implements a low-level code, then one has freedom to pick good data structures. But when writing GUI apps there is simply no such freedom as data structures are already defined by libraries. For example, a GUI framework typically use

Chromium supports a single process switch at least to use for development of Chromium itself. While it does reduce memory consumption, it does not help much. All data structures in Chromium are tailored for multi-process case with no memory

As other already pointed out, this should only apply to DRM media. DRM-free should imply that the customer is responsible for it once the transfer is done.

A friend asked me this question. I personally would go to documentation directly indeed. But I thought that maybe there something that this approach would miss. Thanks for confirming my intuition!

That would require another language to know to maintain the script while Wordpress already requires some PHP knowledge. PHP is very OK for that. The only significant gripe is that even with PHP 7 the language does not have a utility to star

This is the my experience as well. For an activist website that I maintain I just use a PHP script to install everything and to ensure that everything has proper permissions. The site uses Wordpress and patching config files in PHP is simp

20 years ago one could assume 1024x800 and it would mostly work. Then smart phones came with small vertical screens and touch input. Then tablets made it necessary to support screen rotation. Then retina displays required to support dpi-awa

The problem is not reproducibility, but rather omission of data and details without which it is not apparent that alternative explanations are possible.

I use systemd-nspawn containers with max security options, like user namespaces, syscall filters, no-new-priveleges. Even with the user namespaces I do not run as a root in the user namespaces unless I need to install extra software inside

The article author uses VSCode remote support to work with VM. This is not ideal from a security point of view. VSCode is huge, typically uses a lot extensions and all that has access to all local files and ssh keys. So for this reason I ru

A properly secured unprivileged Linux container is not particularly worse than VM from a security point of view, but its impact on performance is very minimal. The drawback is that one cannot use Mac or Windows as a host, but as long as one

I use 4G as my primary Internet connection in Oslo, Norway. The apartment block where I live has a 100 years old copper line and DSL gives like 10 MBit/s with 100ms ping. For about 90 USD/month one can get 60 MBit/s connectio

Firefox cannot remove that option to use system-provided DNS API instead of own implementation of HTTPS DNS. Doing that will prevent using it with intranets.

Another problem on international keyboards besides unexpected key-codes for symbols is that it is awkward to type them with extra AktGr or Shift. Even with Vi-based editors this an awkward problem. So indeed avoid symbols. If the applicatio

Wasm does at runtime what Wuffs does at the compile time for a typical slowdown of 2-3 times. As with Wuffs there is no allocation in the basic Wasm, the program works on pre-allocated buffers.

“Cogito ergo sum” can be also translated as I am thinking therefore I am. In which case “I am thinking therefore I am not” is not contradictory at all.

Well, you can also then statically compile a VNC server and tiling WM and get the whole remote desktop. And this is typically what I use on remote systems or even in local containers or VM for development unless the system is really constra
