C compilers are ubiquituous. Name a platform which does not have at least one C compiler. Rust might come into such a position at some later time as well, but until then at least a transitional solution besides cross-compiling would make pa

Yay, another cheap mini computer I could buy to eventually put it in the drawer to the others! More seriously, it's amazing to see Linux running on such small devices. I wonder what its niche is, though. What can you solve with this Po

Maybe this compiler could help with bootstrapping the official rust compiler. At the moment, it seems to be quite a mess for packagers. Rust is written in Rust, but also needs cargo to build, which is also written in Rust. To break this cir

libgit2 has a linking exception in addition to the GPLv2, which exactly allows what they are doing. This exception allows to link libgit2 without modifications in a program with absolutely zero obligations. It may not have been what you int

This depends on your goals. If you only want to communicate, a secure channel with a shared secret can be established with the Diffie-Hellman key exchange. However, this will not authenticate the other party, which means ensuring that you a

I am a long-time user of the deprecated Multifox extension and I have switched to the Firefox containers ever since they have been introduced to the stable releases about a year ago. This feature is actually builtin in Firefox, you only nee

What kind of obligations do you think of? Are you even sure Apple is using libstdc++ at all and not libc++ as on macOS?

tcsh was the default shell on OS X before Apple switched to bash with OS X 10.3 Panther released in 2003.

As Apple is not developing this software in the public, it would not make sense to put it on GitHub or any other code hosting site. The usual approach is that Apple throws bits over the wall where you can pick them up months after the end-u

In case you are puzzled the same way as me, GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation.

To be fair, the permission model of SailfishOS is the same you use on your Linux desktop. Every application has full access to your home directory. Although access to some data needs special privileges by standard UNIX permissions on files

The Jolla tablet, the Intex Aqua Fish, and Jolla C have compatibility with Android 4.4. Although that is also quite out of date, it is still supported by app developers. Oh, and note that Android support is a commercial feature. You will no

A GPG public key does not only consist of the integer number that forms the cryptographic public key, but usually you have multiple user IDs so other can recognize to whom this key belongs. In order to prove that these user ID belongs to th

By using pseudo targets only in the example and not real files, the article misses the main point of targets and dependencies: target rules will only be executed if the dependencies changed. make will compare the time of last modification (

When choosing a name, you should check the package manager index sites of large distros for potential conflicts. For example in Debian: https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=default&section=all...

Especially they are hiding everything about the ARM architecture. There have not been any code drops for iOS except WebKit. As an example, you can see here how Apple removes whole files and even code in #ifdef sections before throwing it ov

Does the NetBSD kernel itself already ensure mutual exclusion of read and write functions on the same device? Otherwise, I see a use-after-free here. A read could occur right after the write function free'd the old buffer in sc.buf, bu

Headline here is misleading, I first thought it was about less client-side scripting on websites. However, this is a talk actually about using Python (compiled to JavaScript) for client-side scripting.

I assume you did not open these tabs in a single browsing session. For quite a while, Firefox will not load and render all tabs on session restore, but that happens once you switch to such a tab. Therefore I would guess that these 800 &quot

A few years ago, super markets in Germany (and I guess also in other European countries) switched from selling pasteurized milk to ESL milk (Extended Shelf Life). It has actually became quite hard to find any non-ESL milk in grocery stores.

Uhm, no, that is not the reality we live in. Things like format=flowed exist, but I would not say that "all" clients support that. For example Apple Mail lately got an obsession for quoted printable encoding with very long lines.

The reason for this is that Git patches are meant to be exchanged over email. Historically email has a line limitation of 80 characters. You are supposed to use less than that to allow insertion of quoting characters in the first columns in
