While valgrind finds issues, it's totally unclear if these issues are serious. The explanation of the Mesa developer that responded sounds reasonable (valgrind cannot track past ioctl). I'm wondering, if this article is more about

I second that! Every shell script should start with "set -e -u": exit if any command fails (except if called as a condition) or if an unset variable is used. Usually, you never want your script to continue running after a command

Looks as if whois name.com is (surprisingly?) not only looking up 'name.com' but every domain that starts (not: ends) with 'name.com', such as 'name.com.someother.com'.

Well, at least it also feels like a 'service pack'.

How can the site be down, but all 'lights' are green? Anyways, hope they get back soon.

Nice read! I never noticed that the 'disc burning completed' and 'installation succeeded' events use the same sound. I like how the author is not like "I could have made so much money if I licensed it!".

You are right, the interest is not the point. The point is You still leave uni with $18-30k debt.

I was not talking about poverty or who's paying what. I'm just saying that putting economic burdens on higher education is not a wise decision for a country that wants to advance technologically or academically. With respect to wh

I don't see how HECS is a lot better than the US system. "Poor" people still have to pay 10% (accumulated) interest on the loan (it does not matter if the interest is called 'discount') and you still leave the syste

I know people who cannot smell (anymore) and they are not happy with it at all. Be careful for what you wish. :-) For example, smell can alert you (of gas, of glycerin vs. water in a can, food burning during cooking, etc.). Further, it&#x27

I thought 'everything is a file' mostly referred to the fact that you can read/write to every file descriptor, no matter if the file descriptor points to a socket, a pipe, etc., or an actual file. Before that, you had complet

I'm wondering why are they doing it? RIM does not need your password to check your email, your phone can do it just fine.

He did not mean overriding (methods in derived classes), but overloading (functions with the same name). You can resolve the latter at compile time, no indirection needed. For example you can have two overloaded functions println() and prin

I can start right away changing any one of these to find out, instead of spending time to try to write a program that may well not exist in the first place. (In this particular case, I admit that posting 1.2k bugs hints to its existence.)

You don't try to argue that LHC is closed source, do you?

According to http://www.thelocal.se/19102/20090427/ Sweden has ~5k reported rape cases per year. I don't know how many of these cases are closed per year, but I think it's fair to assume that not all of

I read the mailing list post as the authors willingly restricted the number of reported bugs to one to avoid spamming the BTS.

I see. Thanks for the response. Also, thanks for choosing Debian and not some other closed source software.
289.
by lysium 13y ago
Well, the authors stated that they will publish the bugs. Further, publishing a program like this has the potential of finally having software that is not easily exploitable (eg. by requiring every Debian software to pass that program). Now

I don't know much about these grants, but DAPRA and NSF sound pretty public to me (read: the public pays for something only a handful of people get access to). Correct me if I'm wrong, though.

Could I? How long would it take? Would I really get the same results or just similar results? If it doesn't work, how can I find out where the bug is (the paper, my interpretation, my implementation)? Compare this to physics: if you dr

While I find the reported results impressive, I'm sad to see another publication about a closed-source application. Nobody can reproduce the results or place their work on top of that. Research was not supposed to work that way (at lea

Impressive! Where does that 1.2K number come from, though? The abstract mentions only 29 (still a lot) and the results list 'only' 29, too, two of which where 0days. I admit I haven't read the whole article thoroughly.

That paging drives me nuts, but nobody seemed to have the same issue. Thanks for posting the helping pointer! (I'm afraid of disabling the dynamic pager, though, as I hit max physical RAM rather often.)

That's impressive. Actually found about news I haven't known (by watching what other searched for).

Is it really black/white: either seek funding or dev? Maybe you can do both a bit. Point 2 already involves two tasks. Maybe a question helps: Do you plan to getting funding sooner or later (anyways)? If yes, at what point (dev or reve

I find the list of little help. Yes, these points might be 'deadly sins', but just pointing me to RabbitMQ or advise 'feature flags' is of little help. And why is 'optimizing and tweaking' queries necessary for

Nice experiment! I've come to a similar conclusion without having done it: Monday feels like such a fresh start!

I don't think SUT fits its own motivation: instead of comparing time zones (for which numerous apps already exist), I have to compare local working times (for which no apps exist ;-). Further, having seconds, minutes as multiples of 10
