The emacs startup hack is in it's use of a glibc function called "unexec", which essentially serializes the program's state into a single binary which can later be executed normally. One of the big downsides (and the rea

Enabling HTTPS on the CDN is good for the users, but please consider using it between the CDN and your network as well - if nothing else, it prevents situations like this: https://medium.com/@karthikb351/airtel-is-sniff

That's not correct - while any HTTP/2 capable servers along the path may implement server push, the most important one is the closest server to the user (i.e. the CDN). The only requirement is that the intermediate servers must

All FUD aside, "developers looking for an alternative to the new MBP" is a pretty decent market to capture. I have no doubt that Microsoft are directing their efforts to try and take advantage of them.

I don't see many usecases for that - besides the cable length problem mentioned in the article, it would have the effect of reducing choice for the consumer. I could perhaps see displays including a very basic GPU and advertising it as

Load balancers are particularly useful when it comes to cloud applications because they let you keep your routing logic server-side, meaning that you can make adjustments quickly without needing to release a new client version. Your load ba

I'm familiar with proxy-protocol, and while I haven't injected it with nginx, it seems that it does support it: https://nginx.org/en/docs/stream/ngx_stream_proxy_module.htm... For reference, the fea

Could you provide some more detail about your statement that "nginx-ingress will lose source-ip info"? I'm currently working towards a k8s-on-metal system using nginx for ingress and was led to believe that I could use either

The issue that I have with the newly imagined Docker Swarm is that it continues Docker's trend of trying to be a jack of all trades. I have no specific examples for Docker Swarm, but using this approach in other areas has led to some p

Depends on what you mean by "Dwarf fortress", I suppose - there have been a great many DF-likes, the current darling being Rimworld, and more are definitely in the pipeline (keep an eye out for Klei Entertainment's Oxygen Not

I'm sure there are arguments as to whether it's the "best" representation, but I'd contend that it's the most intuitive. It's probably the first OS X App where I bought licenses for the whole family; they

I can't speak for Apache configurations, but on-the-fly cert lookup is possible in nginx using the lua_nginx module[1] - IIRC that feature was developed by Cloudflare, to power their SSL termination. [1]: https://github.com&

Additionally, the copyright holders were ordered to pay costs incurred by the ISPs in implementing the block. I think the case was a good balance between upholding the law and making it clear that it wouldn't be a system over which the

One of the features which I would most love to see in Go is a Selectable interface, which could make things like this doable (albeit as a bit of a hack). Even if a socket's Selectable implementation just abstracted away the goroutine f

I'd extend your point on zpool expansion to ZFS's general inflexibility when it comes to reshaping pools or rebalancing ZRAIDs. I'm sure it's not an issue in enterprise environments, but I've personally been bit by

One potential reason is to handle version promotion. For instance, you may want to run an image for a while on a staging server before re-tagging it as the current stable release.

Very nice, thanks for the link! I'll definitely be seeing if I can replace my system with that; reducing the overhead to a single transaction would be a big win.

Interesting, though I was hoping for a bit more focus on the validation part - unless I'm missing something, there's nothing protecting the actual SQL dumps against bitrot. I had to design against that particular problem recently,

The frustrating thing is that Always On Top is implemented in Windows, just not exposed to the user in any useful way. For years I used a simple ~30 LOC program that mapped Alt+F5 to maximize/restore and Alt+F6 to toggle Always On Top.
