If that's the problem you're trying to solve, make a "CoC for folk under 18" and let that be the end of it.

Hello bithavoc, I happen to be currently working on that area of CockroachDB and I would like to help. To start with, any scenario that you find where a secure deployment without an Enterprise license makes you unable to operate your apps

I'm the author of the article linked in this entry and https://science.raphael.poss.name/go-calling-convention-x86-... , and this is IMHO the best comment in this thread.

No you cannot strip away pclntab, it is necessary to implement the (mandatory, often used) runtime.Callers API.

The C library supports unicode too nowadays (at least the GNU C library does) yet linking a simple program that uses printf does not import 300KB of code. The answer comes from the reflection code as the other commenter states.

You should read up on why this think time exists. It has nothing to do with "emulating slow clients" and everything to do with not claiming "I have a fast database" by running gazillion txn/sec on just 1MB of data i

The tax code taxes wins, not revenue. An org that invests all their margin into growth doesn't pay (as much) tax. The best way though is to create an offshore subsidiary, and then have the subsidiary invoice the main office for "s

calver != timestamp version calver has a number picked up when the release is produced, not when the build is run.

Engineers like calver too! (I do.) Calver tells me very clearly how old a release it and what was the technical landscape when it was released. For example I know precisely how old ubuntu 16.04 is and what I can expect to (not) be in there.

A point not highlighted in OP article is that Enterprise customers are shy to upgrade to a "next major version" because they will _assume_ there are breaking changes in there (even though semver allows bumping the major number wit

The suggestion to "use SYSTEM instead of END" is suspicious. SYSTEM spawns the system shell as a sub-process. If one would EXIT from the spawned command.com/cmd.exe, QBASIC would pop up back. I think a user of programs writte
