If you're interested in the userspace machinations, as opposed to what goes on in the kernel, there's a great rundown on this StackOverflow answer: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/226872/how-to-s

I agree that it's not CMake's fault, but it does fit the grandparent's statement that "everyone does things slightly differently". It's also very fixable - a central site for collecting find_package modules and

The bundled Find* modules are great, but once you go beyond what's included you often run into problems. In converting a recent project to CMake (so as to use CLion), I encountered all of the following: - find_package modules that didn

As I understand it, appeals against these Content ID strikes are assessed by the (alleged) rightsholder. A good start would be having appeals handled by an impartial party, though I'm sure everyone involved would be loathe to pay for t

There's a bit of conflicting verbiage around this, but the 'copyright notices' that are mentioned in the linked article aren't actually DMCA takedown requests; they're Content ID matches. The Content ID system is a

I can see your point (particularly with regard to deliverables), but I suspect the practice is quite widespread - comments often end up being used as a sort of brain dump. For instance, see this article (from 2004) on comments in the Win2k

This is one of those issues that Mosh handles well - it essentially emulates a terminal on the server and sends snapshots to the client, varying the rate based on network conditions.

Notably, implementing ESI directly at Cloudflare's edge enables them to cache page fragments, rather than fully constructed pages. That could do wonders both for the size of caches and for cache hit-rates

by predakanga 9y ago
To clarify, yesterday you mentioned that subrequests go through the regular caching subsystem. Does this hold true even for subrequests to your own zone, where you say here that they go directly to the origin server?

Congratulations on the announce - it seems like a game changer of a feature, and one I look forward to testing. Will Cloudflare be curating a list of useful worker scripts? I imagine there will be certain usecases that get a lot of attentio

It sounds like Dehydrated[0] suits your usecase - it's meant to be truly tiny so it doesn't bundle DNS validation; that's generally handled by the DNS Tool Lexicon[1], which includes an example config for use with Dehydrated.
