Yeah, the POSIX subsystem on Windows is mostly the same concept as the POSIX LITE that is mentioned in the Fuchsia document.

My own impression has been that he does not really care one way or the other about tivoization. If that clause had been present in the GPL since the beginning, it would not have stopped him from using it. However, he sees things like adding

The fact that Turbo tax has at least 2 totally different free products, only one of which is part of FreeFile[1], and the other of which has a whole slew of exclusion criteria, mainly tied to which tax forms you will need to file is complet

Sure. In the US a warranty on any consumer product does not allow voiding or canceling a warranty due to third party parts or service, unless that same service was available at no ocst from the manufacturer. This applies to not just normal

Imports are asynchronous, but they are still eager, and still run before the code in the module. Furthermore, the bodies of modules will still execute in the order you import them in. Basically all being Asynchronous means is that the inter

npm link does not behave even remotely the same as a package installed from a repository, and there are quite a few packages where this does make a difference. Another charitable explanation for the version selection rule is to allow specif

Right. The difficult thing is determining the difference between the written law, the actual law, and mere custom. For example, the custom is that the Queen will appoint whoever she believes to be most likely to hold the confidence of parli

it makes sense for a few scenarios, like a maintainer testing a new version via a private repository server before pushing this update to the public repository. But not having a way to use a separate namespace for private packages that only

The parent missed a part. If you call it with 0 you get an exception, because division by zero obviously.

Interesting, and good to hear. I know the other BSDs have a very different view of things. I had heard that Linux was the only OS with a stable kernel ABI guarantee. If FreeBSD does too, that certainly is better. Windows for example makes z

But even in ancient Greek culture there was still something akin to homophobia. While err... screwing a guy as a guy was just fine, being screwed by a guy is not. I.E. being the receptive partner as a male was heavily socially stigmatized.

Right. Space Team's app was a fork of the zxing demo app updated to newer SDK versions, but with the same name and basically identical interface. It had a malicious version uploaded recently, and was nuked by Google. People then found

I'm not sure the default jail utility is quite as flexible as what Linux namespaces+cgroups can do. It does look like most of what really matters does exist in some form, and I'd guess any important cases that don't exist co

I'm suprised that even the CPU cores are implemented just as a sea of standard cells. It is common to have them be macros containing a clearly separate datapath and control logic. On the other hand, the fact that the prototyping was do

I'd say that first one (api_info) is semi-plausible in terms of being "configured" for piracy, in that it hard codes the production API of the site, and I assume the data accessible therein is largely piracy. It is also true

I'm not sure that pushing the complexity to the compiler makes as much sense. One good side of x86 style instruction sets is that there is a lot you can do in the cpu to optimize existing programs more. While some really advanced compi
