Another problem is that bind mounts are slow; we put data into volumes if it's accessed often.

Perl implements flatMap and calls it map :-)

I understand your point about being able to write proper bash scripts. On the one hand, I never use Java as my shell, but I am able to write proper Java programs just fine; why should bash be different? On the other hand, I've been us

If you want to make the systems homogeneous, then you need homogeneous teams, too. Maybe some team members prefer fish, others prefer zsh, still others prefer bash. Your suggestion means that everyone has to use the same shell for their c

Interesting. I feel the opposite. Reading through multiple log lines somehow tells me something about the problem (program) that I don’t get when I use the debugger.

I haven’t seen a shell script in ages that was missing the shebang. Is this common in some places? I’ve started to write dash scripts because that seems to be reasonably posix and bash on macOS is ancient.

Thank you for these explanations. I reflected on my experience. My intuitive reaction to APL is that all these special symbols aren’t necessary and APL would be more approachable with some speaking identifiers instead. Then I remembered my

I think the "nushell/nushell" part makes it clear which repo it is talking about.

Well, if the hotel isn’t full then there must be a vacant room. But the first room is occupied, the second room is occupied, … If you can’t find a vacant room then the hotel must be full!

Just a data point: I could guess what you meant by “constant time amortized” but I’ve never heard of “amortized analysis”. I’ve learned the same concepts under “big O notation” or just “complexity”. I suggest that you consider whether it’s

The Peano axioms are much older. We teach them in school. Let's hope that those falsehoods will also be taught in school. (In a different school, of course -- where people learn software development.)

OT: That entry says it's the name of a deity. Are names "words"? And are Italian names English words? This is meant to be an honest question, I just don't know. Intuitively, I was surprised.

> Bang sort requires O(M N) storage, where M is size of the elements. Very good point! Computer-based algorithms need O(log(M) N) storage, I guess.

An output argument is when you pass an argument to a function, the function makes changes, and after returning you examine the argument you passed to see what happened. Example: the caller could pass an empty list, and the method adds items

Are unlockable bootloaders bootloaders that cannot be locked, or bootloaders that can be unlocked? Not a native speaker. Hm. I think it is about bootloaders that can be unlocked.

Given that storing n items in an array or a similar structure requires O(n) space, the space requirement of bang sort seems normal. Perhaps by making use of the Oracle of Delphi, you could do away with the array. Also, the energy requiremen

I'm surprised that negative numbers are needed here. But I don't know C++ and my knowledge about latches in Java is spotty at best. Don't know anything about barriers.

They could have written "Fish the shell" to disambiguate from "fish the animal" and nobody would have complained. But they left out "the", and now it's redundant? Isn't it funny how the mind works?

It's like wrong way driving: If everyone else is moving in the same direction / the same speed, only you are different, then maybe you're driving the wrong way / fast.

As a software author, the first alternative doesn't sound very attractive to me. Because as an author, I will want the upstream version of libxyz, and if the distribution provides security updates past the upstream date, this means th

If you are using upstream libxyz 1.3 but they don’t provide security updates for it then you should do something even if you are using dynamic linking. Imagine that redhat provides security updates but Debian uses 1.4, are you going to tell

I found that the kids running to you and jumping up and down and demanding your attention is an extremely quick way to reset. After an hour or so you completely forgot about work.
