You don't even need to install it. It doesn't take a lot of code to run initdb to create a temporary instance, write a suitable configuration file, launch the postmaster process, and delete the temporary database directory tree af

It's a coincidence. David Cameron promised the Brexit referendum in 2013: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Brexit And even that was a reaction to UKIP's growing popularity. Furthermore, the United Ki

There is a curious way to address this in official immigration statistics: an arbitrary cut-off at the year 1950. Anyone who arrived before that year is not considered an immigrant: https://www.destatis.de/DE/Themen&#x2

And they will eventually learn that it's easier to share with the public at large than with a neighboring department. At least that's my experience in a commercial setting: it's easier to publish something without restriction

I don't know. For a start, a working bureaucracy would tell you that you must use the term “recommended practices” instead.

The idea is that for the non-active mode, the current/end pointers are equal, signifying that the buffer is exhausted. This forces entering the slow path, where the mode can be switched. I don't think an implementation with two ac

What's the alternative? Update the state object associated with the I/O event in place (and unregister/re-register it with the event loop as needed)?

Why is it a problem if people prefer a certain writing style? (Or unpainted marble sculpture, for that matter?) Surely these texts are not intended as scientific works, and not used as reference material for further research. Maybe it'

Historically, before mandatory locking, getc and putc have been implemented as macros, and an extra check for stream state likely mattered from a performance perspective. To avoid the extra check, you don't actually need two buffers, j

Never an issue in what sense? In my own experience, it's not been issue because there wasn't an expectation that this should be possible. For example, text in Tcl/Tk label widgets cannot be copied (at least not by default). T

Surely the WD SN850x isn't high end? It doesn't even have power-loss protection as far as I can see. SSDs with protection are much more expensive. (Not sure if Apple SSDs have power-loss protection. Not using sockets probably elim

Isn't AMD rather strong in the HPC space? Quite frankly, I have difficulty reconciling a lot of comments here with that, and my own experience as an AMD GPU user (although not for compute, and not on Windows).

I can't believe Cloudfront is priced anywhere close to cost to AWS. They must have huge margins.

It's possible that the vendor has targeted the user as the result of a court order. (Not necessarily by installing a software implant on the device itself, but I suspect often these things are not necessarily as transparent as they sho

SJLJ exceptions do not need to perform ancillary data lookup using program counter values. Instead, there is code on the non-error path that maintains a linked list of exception landing sites when try blocks are entered/exited. Run-ti

The goal is to actually run RISC-V binaries on RISC-V hardware, to see what works and what doesn't. You wouldn't spot code generations bugs like this one if you merely cross-compile and never run the binaries: https://g

I don't think it's in bad faith. A lot of people still believe that they have to pay one of AdaCore/Baylibre/Embecosm/Red Hat/SUSE/Wind River if you want to use GCC commercially, to cover GPL-related risk.

The whole feature is advertised as something hypervisor operators can use to show customers that their data and code is safe from interference by these operators. Basically, it's about separating physical access to the hardware from ac

No one is expected to use any of the code licensed in this way commercially. You enter a contract with the vendor, tell them what you need, and negotiate a price. At that point, it doesn't really matter what the copyright license says.

Bugs are fixed along with regression tests. Here's a recent example: https://www.sqlite.org/src/info/289daf6cee39625e As far as I can see, these tests come with the same public domain dedication as the rest o

In my very limited experience, this is common even for real business customers. I think it's because going from commercial ISP service to BGP service is not really an upsell. It's a completely different product category (carrier i

Historically, Hotspot's escape analysis only resulted in avoided heap allocations (via scalar replacement) if all uses were inlined. I don't think this has changed.
