There's also B-2. The kernel kills an unrelated process that happened to request a bit of RAM at the moment of OOM. The system becomes responsive for a while, and then the kernel starts looking for a new scapegoat. Which might be the s

ON DELETE CASCADE can be dangerous when used with applications that expect to be notified of deletions, like in your case. Ideally, everything that needs to change when a row is deleted would be changed automatically and atomically using da

The state of Pennsylvania governs a much larger population than just a bunch of local jurisdictions acting in unison. Unless you mean entire countries by "local jurisdictions."

Curly braces and semicolons? Wait, that's actually C. The README showcases some opcodes. Maybe they borrowed PHP's bytecode format or the VM design? If true, that would actually be a pretty neat thing to borrow, since PHP has made

Tech is just tech. It's what you can do with tech that makes it either cool or not. In the past, there seemed to be so many cool possibilities. That coolness infected the tech itself, so the tech looked cool too. But now a lot of those

Nowadays you can get virtually unlimited 90-day certs from ZeroSSL if you use ACME through the EAB feature rather than using their API. But their ACME support seems half-hearted at best. The endpoints often return errors for no reason, comp

Yeah, that transition didn't go as smoothly as they might have hoped. Most of us first-world programmers can just shrug and say "don't use unsupported versions," but I've had multiple non-technical clients call me u

The latter is a fairly broad concept with multiple shades and blurry lines within. Which is why people with good intentions can still disagree badly on whether something someone did was okay or not. Has GP crossed the line merely by express

Graham didn't say it's a "recent" rebirth in the sense that we often use that word in the technology sector. It's "recent" in the sense that historians use it, i.e. sometime in the last generation or two.

The entire home doesn't need to follow a consistent theme. Different parts of a home serve different functions, and are often occupied by different members of the family who may have wildly different tastes. You can keep the old parts

Nobody in an industrial kitchen is supposed to work barefoot. :) For homes, heated cement slabs are so much better than the regular stuff. Slabs embedded with hot water tubes have a fairly large heat capacity, so it stays warm all day and t

Even if the features you mentioned were included in WordPress core, they would be implemented as plugins that can be replaced with other plugins. IMO the problem with the plugin ecosystem is not that they're required, but that so much

The most important thing is to keep the structure dry. The parts that sit deep inside the building could resist decay for hundreds of years as long as they're properly tied together and the roof doesn't leak. The parts that are ex

That's why you only use the least significant digits of any number that comes from a sensor. So if the temperature changes from 65.78614329 degrees to 66.24667182 degrees, you don't take 65 and 66, you take 329 and 182. Those digi

The infamous 2011 earthquake was also in March. Is there any plausible reason for earthquakes to occur in the same region around the same time of year over and over again, or is it just coincidence? I don't think Japan has any large gl

High-end Threadrippers are severely limited by their thermal envelope. Looking at the latest 5000-series products, the 64-core CPU has the same TDP (280W) as the 24-core CPU. Guess which one can sustain higher clock speeds for longer before

Ditto this. One person, one device, one language, one locale is a terrible assumption. My Android phone is set to a language that doesn't match the country I'm in, and it hyphenates all the local phone numbers wrong. This is beyon
