Nope, If you are using libc readdir, gettdents issue is unavoidable.

With my limited knowledge of rust I've looked into it. Seemingly on unix types of OSes exa uses std::old_fs::readdir , it uses sys::unix::readdir and it uses libc::readdir_r Which would also have the suboptimal getdents buffer iss

I have not yet looked into the code but if it's using glibc and corresponding getdents code path with suboptimal buffers, it most probably will be slower then ls. more information about the getdents buffer issue: https://www

I would not joy until exa is tried over a fs with more than a million files. Huge file numbers are a thing now and it is becoming to be an engineering challenge.

Consider Çeşme. It is near Izmir and cheap, especially in the winter it would be a heaven for a nomad. High temperatures than normal winter conditions. Un crowded and peaceful.

I'm a linux guy I do not need to touch windows or windows clients daily so what I'm talking about is web ui.

I'm not very keen on office365. Our new ceo force migrated us to office365 from gmail and our experience so far is not par with gmail. Very lacking or even unusable ui, not working or frustrating filters, very bad experience with imap

That's very nice. A virtual tagging file system is a really innovative idea.

I wish, system administrators and devops engineers who does not code for a living were this much appreciated.

Gnome and logind is a crucial one. Also it brings it's pam dependency. It is a show stopper for slackware. Kdbus and udev is and will be other parts in this category.

pkill foo or killall foo?

Distros mostly made the switch because, 1 Redhat pushed systemd into Rhel7 2 Crucial system parts were pr'd into hard dependencies on systemd 3 It's base idea and vision which is currently replaced with broader ones was good evolu

Thank you. That's well said. I wish I could read all the piece with the pay per view part. But with this part he is absolutely sure , he is the righteous on every aspect of computing and it's history that he just tries to "cr

I'm not sure if he is really clueless or just trying to flame wars.

That's pure engineering practice for results. I like the way you think.

I have an issue with iframe perf test. It is very reckless and a waste of user bandwidth. One can reroll user requests from web server access logs and it would be a controlled perf test with real user behaviour.

Atwood's Law: any application that can be written in JavaScript, will eventually be written in JavaScript.

Strange, 22 year old technology is resurrected for javascript? cgi is an expensive technology because it execs full application on every request. It would be a bit more sane if it was implemented with fast-cgi. Sometimes, I wish people did

Also systemd is very dependent on many other libraries (optional or mandatory). Adding json as an internal implementation instead of using an outer dependency is not justifiable with "dependency control reasons". From the readme:

I did not run any big c/c++ projects but, I ran, big php/python web projects. Dependencies in these kinds of web projects are messier than desktop/system applications. And it is not unmaintable as you are implying. So reimple

by fsniper 12y ago
(I am trying to be sincere here please don't take it any other way) Could you please tell me few reasons against code reuse? And as a bonus; a reasonable case for reimplementing everything in systemd ecosystem would be very appreciated

He is very clear about Poettering's NIH syndrome. There are many established c libraries out there but he feels he needs to implement everything himself.

You make it clear that you are not backing Brian. I'm just trying to tell the shortcomings of your trick. Also in this case it also involves back in time travel or being prepared. If you want to be prepared tune2fs would be a better c

Of course zfs is superior to many fs in many ways. But this is also a systemd way of telling people to "use this, not anything other. That's the best". Systemd people are not helping the community.

Well, this answer is a workaround. And I'm sorry it's a ridiculous one. What if I'm not on a laptop? What if this is a server system?

Oh I'm very keen on to see "I am using an optional email client packaged with systemd!". Good times for Linux community. Next debate recommendation from me: Should we call distributions GNU/Linux or systemd/Linux?

This is a good interview process for a coding gig. I am a devops engineer who is mainly a system administrator. I code but I code as a tool not as a goal. So for this kind of positions looking for coding performance does not give good indic
