Unpopular opinion: I disable auto-update and for every piece of software I use, I go over it at least casually, or wait some days depending on how popular it is and the "trust level" in my mind, before first load and before update

What I mean is you put your library and all services using it in a single repo.

I'd argue that libgcc is safe to statically link though. The only downside of statically linking libgcc, as long as you keep your symbol visibility sane, i.e. not re-exporting everything which is unfortunately the default :(, is C++ ex

> monorepo lets you magically do atomic API migrations I'd argue that there are many more APIs which just don't go over network. With monorepo you can do cross-component refactor very easily, this is especially handy when you a

Try to convince those "Data Scientists" to learn Julia/Rust or spend another ten years for learning how to write non-crashy C++ then. Also, IMO Python is the right tool for glueing optimized C++ implementation of various lina

Previous GIL removal attempts hurts single thread performance and it isn't that scalable, so people are usually by default dismissive. Most of Python codes depend on subtle details of CPython internal. For example sometimes it is just

I'd say this is beyond paranoid (as it seems targeted), I can understand given that your handle is ngcc_HK though. FWIW, Ventoy is FOSS [1], so, the same rule holds: you can inspect the source and build it yourself. [1] https:/&#

I don't think so. OTOH what GP described (reseller earn money by batch unlocking phone and pre-installing not uninstall-able apps/malwares before selling to consumers) is very common some time ago. China is wild.

Prepare a rootfs for ARM64 system. chroot into it and emulate every binary with qemu-user. Now replace gcc etc with one configured as cross-compiler, but still point its sysroot to the usual path (/usr/...). This is equivalent to

Stable does not mean perfect. It means putting a version number on it, don't fucking change it pointlessly, and decouple it from the other parts of the kernel.

That's because the database fail with no changes made, and they retry the whole HTTP request with all business logic in the application re-run against primary instance. So, nothing to do with database-level stuff. The idea is basically

This is a big factor, but poor rural areas usually just blatantly ignore child number limits anyway. So, unlikely to be the sole reason.

I think it meant uppercase .C instead of lowercase .c as a C++ extension. Indeed it's pretty rare. That being said, there are indeed projects using lowercase .c extension for their "C++" file: gdb [1][2] [1] https:/&#x2
