There's also libev which claims to solve problems with libevent, which the OP doesn't mention. (I haven't worked with either.) http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html

I've been using noatime forever (since 2002 or so) on my laptops/desktops and IIRC also all the servers that I set up myself, and a couple other servers I just checked have relatime (Debian default?), without any issue, although a

Thanks for the info about your mail. I'm using SPF and DKIM too, I don't see how DMARC would help deliverability so I haven't tried that yet. I've verified my domains (including the reverse name(s) of my server's IP

My point was that the issue didn't just allow a MITM to capture traffic, but also take over the machine(?). So cancelling the server and installing a new one will be the safer bet (I'm considering moving to a different company at

I thought that the page that was used for the stack on the C64, or at least the C128 (which I had, i.e. the MOS 8502, which is almost identical to the 6502) could be reconfigured. I remember some code that would use stack pushes to achieve

I explicitly said that vegetable based plastics are not a problem. What we're worried about are the OXO plastics, which are not vegetable, but mineral oil based.

Note that there are two kinds of "biodegradable" plastics. Vegetable based plastics (which are definitely unproblematic when left in the environment) and "OXO-biodegradable" plastics which are just normal plastics (like

PS. I think there's also another aspect that made me like the image: the dying per se. A lot of open source projects are simply going to die, aren't they, and you don't want that as the author/maintainer, it's a par

Also, some (flash) drives are compressing data on the fly. Writing zeroes to such a drive might just not actually write anything at all to the flash cells except for some run length descriptors (numbers). Since the worry seems to be speed,

I'm wondering why you're getting down votes. Maybe someone who down votes could explain? I'm a freshman when it gets to maintaining an open source project (just started with one, it's on my user page), and am very intere

I'm not sure there's such a thing as non-steamed dry-rolled oats. Do you have a reference that those exist? The Wikipedia article I linked says that even steel-cut oats are steamed. > it's largely a matter of choosing the

As mentioned I'm used to mixing my muesli myself, and I don't explicitly remember having tried muesli mixes or oats from Familia. The Familia brand looks familiar from my time in Switzerland though, I suspect they may have been on

Those are looking good (big and thick flakes, well separated from each other, also as an organic product probably caters to people like me, and the text explicitly confirms what I'm looking for). Good to know it could be easier in the

I've bought oats of this brand in the UK when I first got there, and IIRC I did several times as they were a bit better than some other brands, but they still weren't what I was looking for. Perhaps they have several kinds, though

For me the enthusiastic part is that it's the first language I used for a lot of stuff. My brain knows how to work with it. I know what I get. Perl is also a constant, it doesn't change a lot and my scripts from almost two decades

by pflanze 11y ago
I too think it's a fair point; Perl tends to have too many syntactical features that take up processing power in the brain: JavaScript style foo.bar.baz is just lower overhead than $foo->{bar}{baz} or $foo->{bar}->{baz} or $$f

I really would have hoped that Google would try to live without asking people to link domains to Google accounts. At least that's what I understand they are doing here. If so, this is a step towards their interest, not ours, and their

What key exchange? Are you talking about SSL or software signing keys? These wouldn't give the DoJ access to the data on the device in this case. It would only help while the user is still using it, unsuspectingly entering the password
