I think the main mistake here is that it was made to be a public interface instead of an internal implementation detail. Now you can expect that some people are relying on custom specs. Migration to a saner configuration language is still p

Correlating with water and electricity bills could raise suspicion, but yeah, it's probably harder.

I thinks mocks are better in C++ than in dynamic languages. In C++ you need to expose a public interface for the customization point so it can be mocked. Mocks therefore test a public interface and not implementation details. Granted, if th

Sure, that's what I was getting at. Being able to pass stateful allocators as function arguments is very flexible.

If we are talking replacing the libc allocator, then something like heaptrack is worth mentioning. https://github.com/KDE/heaptrack

What if the function does more than a single allocation? Imagine a library like libxml2 that can parse a whole XML document into a DOM tree. In many cases you it would be nice to just pass an arena allocator and throw away the whole DOM in

As a lone developer there is absolutely no motivation to do this and hide this decision from management. Having said that a lone developer can come up with the idea, propose it to management with the expectation of some fat bonus. But why d

Yeah, Debian code search often works better for this purpose.

At least with preprocessor and templates the compiler errors point to your actual source files, not to some auto-generated mess.

Committed generated code can also be a pain. Now you invite manual changes to the generated code, which is probably a pain to maintain if you also want to maintain and reuse the generation script in parallel.

A pulse of wave is a superposition of steady-state waves. Group velocity, phase velocity and dispersion relation have one-to-one correspondence. I agree that the phase-kick classical model is a very simplified material model, which probably

> Phase kicks don't change the speed of a wave. "Phase kicks" explain the phase velocity. The speed of a wave is the group velocity. Phase velocity is omega(k)/k, group velocity is omega'(k). So if "phase ki

It works everywhere. There is not much to do with delay on interactive content though.

I hear you, however something like streambuf is kinda necessary for a type-erased interface for input/output of trivial objects. The C alternative is FILE*, which isn't much better and isn't as customizable either. I agree th

Does UEFI have any mechanism to run some firmware code with reduced privileges? For example an image parser?

The attack defeats the whole premise of security in "secure boot". It's high impact in relation to that. As a user I don't care too much about "secure boot" and its threat model, and I assume you don't eit

Postscript is actually surprisingly approachable. It's quite easy to implement logo-like "turtle graphics" and draw fractals in it.

How would copyright be in-scope at all? At worst this infringes EULA.

I guess the indentation only interacts with the little oxygen that is trapped there, which might not be enough to substantially brown it.

Nvidia cards being unreliable on Linux make me choose an other card instead.

I find Debian unstable to be a perfectly stable rolling release distro. Unfortunate naming.

Apart from Nvidia, this feels like a non-issue for me nowadays.

So you make it thread-safe. Now what? Just because you don't get a data-race or undefined behavior, it doesn't make setenv/getenv usable across threads without any synchronization anyway. My take on it is that global mutable

Maybe the dlopen issue could be hacked around by dlmopen and injecting getenv and setenv symbols that access a different environment variable list than the application's.

You can destroy information with noise. Accurate information about the conflicts (or anything) is also available in the digits of pi.
