> great personality Not to disagree, but what you can't see from this lecture is that Rob Pike is... very opinionated. For example: http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/dynamic-linking/ and http://

A very useful tool that has saved me a lot of trouble. Sadly I can't use it anymore since I switched to a Ryzen CPU.

You can do that with stock Android without any additional tools: The enable developer options, go there, scroll down until you find the "simulate color space" option.

Security questions are DUMB. They are the exactly same authentication mechanism as password (i.e. proving you know some piece of information). So you basically have multiple backup password in case you forgot the first one. But worse. If yo

Feels more like an academic project to prove a point, than an actual usable file system.

This is probably a good idea, but it's not really implementable. Google isn't a law enforcement entity, so they are probably not in a position to fine anyone. And IANAL, but charging for claims is probably not allowed by DMCA.

This is pretty dumb.

Sounds more like design mistakes of Go.

A small difference can still be statistically significant.

By that logic no browser should include the developer tools either.

They are trying to get a completely new crypto interface into the kernel, and they are posting the patches to linux-netdev mailing list. This is not gonna fly.

I don't really want to defend behaviors similar to Yelp's. Because it's indeed annoying. But let's play devil's advocate here. Part of the reason why Google can have a clear and good user experience, is because they

The real problem is that very few people knows how to tell which abstractions are "wrong".

Well, I guess it could be true that some people are "brainwashed" to trade bitcoin. But I think there are some differences between the two. First, diamond is not in itself useful. While it some industrial uses, that is not where i

How does making company impossible to track me not protecting my privacy? And I think there is a cognitive gap in your argument: I am a user, I am not a company, I am not trying to sell anything to anyone. So why should I be empathic toward

Many seem to have the illusion that if you use unsafe in Rust, bad things can only happen in the unsafe blocks. This is wrong. If your unsafe block fails to maintain the required safety guarantees (I personally don't know what they are

Well, let's not forget that "CEO" wrote that technical documentation. And probably also wrote (at least an older version of) the code, too.

SQLite went through thorough testing, not verification. These are two different things.

For versioned backup you should use reflink rather than hardlink. Hardlink is not CoW. Modify the file all your backup will change too.

For anyone who don't know: nftables has its own byte code interpreter for filtering too. And at the time nftables was created, bpf already existed in Linux. The author's argument against using bpf is that it's hard to reprodu

Which more powerful language do you suggest? Macro metaprogramming is still needed in C++. Other powerful languages might lack some nice properties of C. Like easy interfacing with other languages, and a wide availability.
