Selective untar into a FIFO pipe. Not optimal in this case but you can work around the limitation with some extra work. I'd rather do this than expose some 0-day due to odd combination of rarely used libraries.

It's not just sales, it's figuring what to sell, and when to pivot. It's all well to have a solid tech stack but the market changes and companies need to see changes coming and adapt. Having the most optimized compiler is

In my experience Fedora or Ubuntu just work, until they don't, usually after system update. Then you're in poorly documented territory, often deep in the bowels of GNOME. If video or networking broke hopefully you have a backup

I agree. If there's empty space on the screen, you shouldn't need to scroll. But after a practice round, I didn't need to scroll anyway because I got today's puzzle in 3/4/5/7, so whoohoo!

Fortunately for the rest of us, common Linux distro maintainers have a better understanding of security than you appear to. If I download a pdf, I don't want it to run . I probably want to open it, but if I've gone through the t

Different strains of Covid compete with each other because antibodies that block one version are very effective at blocking another. If you've recently had Omicron, your body is well prepared to fight off Delta. If you've already

Of course it is. Windows is a proprietary system that only a single company has the keys to. You trade control for convenience.

I think the recessed USB-C dongles are a fantastic idea. I'd love for this to become a standard feature on laptops. Can miscellaneous third parties can create and sell their own Framework-compatible expansion modules? Can other manufa

If you're comparing "faux" town centers to century old walkable town centers, then they do seem lacking. But in most of North America, the alternative to "faux" town centers isn't original town centers. The a

I think this is a very good explanation. I'd add a caveat though. Kubernetes is designed for extremely high reliability at datacenter scale. If you have a suite of applications that run at that kind of scale and require that level of

That's certainly an unhealthy, unhelpful and hateful attitude. I'm not sure if "bigoted" is the right word here, but that comes down to etymology. On the other hand when there's a disease that's killed million

I can see that you can get a lot of things wrong with a bastion host, but if implemented sensibly, it should just be one more layer of a defense-in-depth strategy. What would you recommend instead of a bastion host?

That's okay. Euler wasn't trying to arrange these army officers for any sort of practical purpose, the whole point of the puzzle is an exercise in mathematics. So it's mathematically interesting that the puzzle cannot be so

A bullet train is better if there's one that already happens to go from your location to your destination. If they manage to make these VTOL planes safe and cheap enough, they'll be far easier to deploy than any train system. Al
