I love to geek out on this sort of stuff. Data Structures for Text Sequences by Charles Crowley [1] is a great read. I would also recommend checking out the Vis editor [2]. It's an interesting Vi like editor that uses the piece chain a

Also the previous Pascal Titan appears to be dropped from the 10 series webpage[1], although it's not hard to find [2]. So it looks like this replaces the old card entirely. I've not followed the consumer GPU market too closely as

Nice to see this but surely this is only of use for Hackintosh builds? Or is Thunderbolt connectivity supported for external GPUs?

I came across this when it was referenced in the de-clustered RAID work for ZFS [1]. A few proprietary filesystems have had this for a while, notably GPFS from IBM and PanFS from Panasas. More recently Xyratex/ Seagate came out with Gr

That's OK for Linux specific stuff but stat() is pretty standard. So downstream will end up having to clutter code to the effect of - if running on Linux use statx() else if running on non-broken platform use stat().

I know, I'm saying it would be nice if the Linux kernel could set up a method for breaking ABI's in a planned fashion. I'm not saying it would be easy.

by gbrown_ 10y ago
I know and understand the reasoning for this, I just don't like it. I am a BSD fan, so I indulge in a land where such ABI breaks are possible. In a fantasy land I would like to see the Linux community coming up with a way to deal with

by gbrown_ 10y ago
BSD's don't tend to have distros. So for example OpenBSD has a ports tree maintained by the ports team for OpenBSD. The operating system is free to break ABI's from release to release as the ports tree is audited, fixed, and
