I may be an outlier but I never bother with the reddit front page - I go direct to specific subreddits and read them one at a time.

They may have simply been intending to be relatively formal as a mark of respect. (there's enough language and culture dependencies in how one decides such things that 'may' is very much load bearing in that sentence, mind) C

Given the higher TPS I think you'd be better conceptualising it as "CPU utilisation" rather than "CPU load."

It could likely have been better phrased but I found it more pointed than aggressive. There've been quite a few postgres forks that have either died or stayed based on 7.x versions and when you're replacing the entire storage engi

This is ridiculous and also somehow wonderful and I mean that entirely positively. My compliments to everybody involved.

Oooh, the here string reads nicely to me and would require less thought about quoting/interpolation choices which is a win on its own even if it still takes me multiple attempts to remember to do that. Much appreciated.

OpenSSH has already added plenty of extensions and the world seems to be fairly comfortable with using quite a few of them - for backwards compatibility reasons they probably can't change the current behaviour by default for -everybody

Remembering to write ssh localhost sh -c "'cd /tmp && pwd'" works but (a) ICK (b) I usually only remember this on about attempt three at the earliest.

Looking at the author's other articles on https://dailyreckoning.com/ (the quantity of which suggests the site is primarily his show and the quality of which tend to leave something to be desired) I'm inclined to

According to the article, the original Kryo was a Qualcomm design but they're using the same branding for ARM CPU designs now. Plus original Kryo seems to be more than sufficiently different on pretty much every axis that if it -was- i

I write a lot of perl -e pipeline members for this sort of thing and I can absolutely see dt producing something that's easier to skim read for somebody who only really knows shell. (I got sufficiently competent at perl before really n

While I think 'pl' and 'pls' for print line and print lines is probably an excellent choice overall I can't help but see 'pls' and try and parse it as an abbreviated INTERCAL.

It's generally considered a feature for your pipeline to -not- be screwed, after all.

I mean, retro already has arrays and strings built-in so if you want to try a todo list in forth again you could ... just use the native features?

In general, in a discussion about or adjacent to programming language design, people will tend to expect 'list' to be used to mean a data structure that behaves like a singly linked list ala lisp's cons cell based list data s

C arrays are syntax sugar over pointer arithmetic and defining up a handful of FORTH words to do the same thing (plus a bump allocator) is sufficiently trivial that putting it in core would be weird, because -in general- FORTH programs are

When I'm working on something like that I tend to literally have a directory called sketches/ in the root of the repo, a few of which will currently run, a few more of which -did- run at some point, and then the rest are more thin

Certainly I've had a lot of fun with wiring mobx up to various things that provide render functions (react with mobx viewstate classes is way nicer than hooks to me). Svelte I've never quite got the hang of to the point where I fe

The time (some years back now, it was a 5.10 patch and a 5.8 rpm) they mis-backported a perl patch to work around a bug in a deprecated CPAN module for one of their enterprise customers and in the process caused a 2x-30x slowdown of lots of

They are, their distro is their own - this is them announcing a RHEL fork as well as their in-house distro. You'll find SUSE Linux Enterprise in quite a few places in Europe but their penetration in the US has always been kinda pants,

Yep, and in certain in house situations it's best to keep a backup around for ~13 months in case there's an obscure business process that only gets done once a year. (I'm aware that some people reading that sentence are going

Thing is, my fvwm config might be short but my setup is (arguably rather more than) a bit esoteric (feel free to declare tl;dr but I may as well get an explanation of my requirements down so I can stuff it in a file somewhere for future ref
