I can't really fault both of these tools at all. They have good defaults and are easy to configure and are well documented. Of course they are very performant too, but if you take the time to configuring your wildignore, learn how to u

I've never heard of mdb before. I mean I've never actually used Solaris (OpenSolaris/illumos to be specific) for anything other than a few experiments here and there but nothing in production. But I've been intrigued by

This isn't strange or surprising. parseInt takes two arguments, the second one is the radix and map will call with three arguments, the value, the index and the whole array. You just have to know this and it might be different in other

The impression I get is that DragonFly BSD is the most innovative BSD, especially in terms of HAMMER its filesystem. So where FreeBSD and Solaris/illumos have ZFS and people use those OSs to use a stable implementation of ZFS (e.g. Joy

I have only done this partially over the years, but yes I agree, it's a viable alternative and when it comes to private internal modules you don't ever have to worry about singing up to npm enterprise or deploy Nexus or equivalent

I take it to mean that with npm there is a very low barrier for entry. I mean it's not difficult to actually host an apt repo on your own server or on S3, but there's still more you need to know to get to that stage. I personally

I'm not saying you're wrong, but at least in terms of the default behaviour of pledge with regard syscalls and configuring seccomp so the kernel kills your whole process when it hits a syscall you haven't whitelisted, it soun

by roryrjb 7y ago
So like seccomp? Or do you mean a simpler interface like pledge? I haven't really used the seccomp syscall or eBPF directly but I have used libseccomp ( https://github.com/seccomp/libseccomp ) successfully.

Yeah good point. Bash and/or another shell is likely to be easily installable on whatever system you're on, you have no obligation to use the default shell. I guess my main point with the PR was just not to ignore history and poin

Why the downvote? This is just my opinion. I wasn't saying the parent was wrong, this is just my take on it. I'd like to hear some thoughts on people's experience in this area rather than just be downvoted.

No I mean 67. I tried every version of Firefox from 57 to 67 and only 67, the latest release feels "as fast" as Chrome.

As of Firefox 67, it is actually very fast and performant for me on Linux. Every time I have tried Firefox Quantum it has been noticeably slower than Chrome. I really want to use Firefox because Google is basically evil and I'm trying

I think there's a lot of worth using a high level language and integrating with C. It depends on the interface of course, XS (Perl) isn't too user friendly, but actually just using the Python C APIs is straightforward, rather than

A pretty good collection in fact. Of course the stuff here is popular, but mostly for good reason, and varied, naturally. Thinking about music and Apple always makes me think of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Corps

Isn't this the point of seccomp on Linux and pledge on OpenBSD (and others I'm sure I'm just more familiar with these two), but without this much overhead? Also I'd be interested to know, based on this quote in the post

All I care about is that my funds are safe. I currently have a lot in Revolut, I've had nothing but positive experiences with them but moving to another bank is not a big deal for me.

In the same way that George Martin used his experience and expertise in the studio with the The Beatles, Martin Hannett used his studio craftsmanship to shape the sound of Joy Division. As the article states, without his (and others) input

So I believe I'm correct in saying that this is what Microsoft effectively does with WSL and Joyent does with Triton, i.e. faking a Linux kernel syscall table on top of a Windows NT kernel and Illumos kernel respectively.

You're using it wrong. The things that bash is good for are not the same things that Python should be used for. For what bash is good for, it is the simplest and fastest language one could use.

.bash, but it's less about the suffix and more about the shebang. On some systems sh is linked to bash or perhaps the `sh` executable includes bashisms. The .sh can be argued is signifying Bourne shell compatible/descended shells
