The pipe operator eliminates the syntax problem. Ocaml example: let increment x = x + 1 let square x = x \* x let to_string x = string_of_int x let result = 5 |> increment |> square |> to_string (\* result will be &quo

Does anyone have a good sense of how many dev hours it would take to write something like Quake/Unreal from scratch today? Not a port, but a full rewrite with a custom engine

IBM owns Ansible, redserk is saying Terraform will go a similar route. Although I don't see what they mean by core being lower priority than paid. The paid features are all available for free via AWX, which is the open source upstream

Linux now has eBPF, which is essentially a VM running inside the Linux kernel. You can run your own programs on this little VM and extend the kernel to a staggering degree. Some clever folks have used this to build open source tracing tools

I dug into portage a bit and I think I see what you're saying. But the only way Portage can automatically load a dependency is if the ebuild specifies it. For example an ebuild can install dependencies in DEPEND or RDEPEND by checking

Nix can be a huge pain to use, and with the recent redesign it somehow feels even more disjointed than before. But it's still one of my favorite pieces of software. I think a clean interface like https://devenv.sh/ cou

Backups are deleted after six months not 30 days. 30 days is the default revision history kept for each file. Point still stands though. source: https://help.backblaze.com/hc/en-us/articles/217664898-What-...

So next we would just have to fix the justice system (giant corporations have a bit of an advantage in the current one).

This is wild speculation but just to highlight how FTP could be leveraged to get a signed DLL. Imagine SolarWinds has a "sign everything in this directory" script. Attackers gain access to that trusted directory either directly vi

iMessage is E2EE (according to Apple). But Apple can still see who's messaging who. With that you get an intimate social graph. Similar to what the NSA has on US citizens via phone records. Apple also says they don't sell your per

Does high tx count and low price really mean utility? Seems it could also mean market is unsure of the asset's intrinsic worth and speculations are constantly in flux. Or could mean lots of speculative alts being built on top of main c

100% yes. With non-ECC you will always have bad RAM bits eventually. With ZFS this is especially bad because it can corrupt your checksums or your ZFS metadata, which means either silently corrupting your data, or corrupting ZFS itself and

I found a job posting of theirs a while back while trying to figure out their tech stack. It required experience in docker, redis, node, can't remember what else if anything. Given the on demand nature of the game you can kind of imagi

If you're using table aliases like "O" you're already throwing clarity out the window. The following is perfectly clear and readable IMO: Orders.id = Customers.order_id and also indicates which column is the pri

If you're willing to ditch iOS, Android has Messages for Web (an official service by Google) which lets you view/send SMS from any browser and supports file attachments etc. It's pretty great.

I had the same gripes, I use justwatch.com to search for a movie and see what streaming platforms offer it. Roku global search also does the same thing.

I think the problem is that nobody wants to go manually find games across the web, then maintain a bookmark list of their games, share purchasing info with 100 different sites, throw away a central liaison for customer support/communit

Scaleway out of France has been doing baremetal cloud nodes for years. I used them during the beta and they are fantastic (despite slight latency due to being in France). Their smallest baremetal node starts at €3/mo for 4 ARM cores&#x

Socket exposure can be avoided by running jwilder's nginx and docker-gen containers separately as explained in his repo (you still bind to tthe docker socket but on a separate unexposed local container): https://github.com&#

Man, I typed a whole reply saying basically the same thing but you beat me to it! To expand a bit further, in this demo app, the "Save" button calls an API of a pinning service (Eternum), which pins the file on an external node so

I'm not too knowledgeable on the subject but I know there are a lot of groups working on persistent storage for Docker. I think most of the time this means a docker volume that lives on some network attached storage (this could be redu

It's tough to give a definitive answer because every company is different, but I work at a very small strange shop, 5 devs + 1 manager, maintaining 10-15 custom websites (5 of which are on a single VM) and I have been deploying our new

Laws are often written with good intentions but enforced rigidly and with little common sense. A balance is needed between individualism and utilitarianism. At what point do my civil rights, when enforced by the state, infringe on yours? Wh

Correct. For example the series (1/n) (1/n+1) (1/n+2)... converges to zero as n-> ∞ (actually the term is "diverges to zero" for products) You can play around with different series on Wolfram Alpha https:/&
