Well, no, the old logo was practically not usable in marketing. Good. Then drop the marketing and start doing something useful.

No, but because they chose a big rebranding as the way to achieve those goals. At least that's how I read it.

If their "reset password" implementation took care to not mess up the MAC labels on edited files, disabling SELinux wouldn't be necessary. See virt-rescue(1) (and libguestfs-tools in general) for how to do it properly.

Do you have a pointer to that SELinux issue? Can't remember anything related to exceptions. I think there was some issue with runtime code generation (used with closures IIRC) very early on but that's ancient history by now.

Besides the stack size there's also the switching overhead involved when you go through the kernel. And yes, the dynamic stack growth is an extremely important part of it. Without it, you'd just have small stacks. Take an arbitrar

Oh and by the way, the logfiles from most package servers provide an accurate description of what you're doing with your machine and a weak concept of identity. Those "package servers" are distributed mirror networks with n

The Plan 9 C compilers are nice as they're so small. Still, the backend creation process would look roughly similar, at least from where I'm standing: copy a roughly similar one and beat on it for some time. The difference is in d

Right and it's pretty sad, I think. Most contemporary software doesn't even try making use of graphic displays and mouse input to create a more efficient interface for trained professionals , often lacking even the most basic for

The problem there being that few people are going to see JLabel in a class list and think "oh, that must be something to do with my image-related needs!" Especially if they've used other GUI tookits, which as far as my exper

The problem with that is that you can't tell programmatically if a potentially risky action is performed by a program acting as the user's agent or by a program acting on behalf of some malicious fuckwit. You can just forbid it, s

It doesn't have to. A text editor could easily present its current buffer and other properties in the form of a file system interface. See e.g. how Linux allows to interact with processes through the /proc file system. There'

So that's what I just did. It has some very reasonable points but much of it is utter crack. I can't help but feel reminded of dmr's foreword to The UNIX-Haters Handbook: Here is my metaphor: your book is a pudding stuffed w

OS/360 JCL, apparently. At least Rob Pike wrote something to the effect on his Google+. dd is horrible on purpose. It's a joke about OS/360 JCL. But today it's an internationally standardized joke. I guess that says it

Then maybe one should also add the bit of context that dd's command line syntax was intended as a joke, a pun on some job control language of yore.

Hmm, interesting. My reasoning was along the lines of (for the absolut minimal solution): 1) you were able to introduce support for additional DRM systems/CDMs 2) thus, you should at least be able to introduce some kind of clear key sy

Are you saying that when you call dlsym(3) on OS X you get back a non-null pointer to memory that is not mapped inside your address space? That can't be, right? So where does your "weird" pointer actually come from and how

In the case of FORTRAN, there already was a language standard as early as 1966. At the same time there existed implementations of it that were independent of IBM. Also, while you had to get a UNIX license from AT&T, they didn't mak

No, it is not even remotely hard compared to the other technical feats their engineers have accomplished in the past. If they actually wanted it, it would get done.

Wrote their own COBOL and FORTRAN without a license as well. This took money away from IP holders, but gave birth to a lot of Microcomputers. What IP holders? Those of other FORTRAN implementations? So if I'm writing a C compiler I&#

Yes, some were microcoded. And you were able to replace that microcode with your own creations! See for example this paper, where they took a VAX and rewrote its microcode so that it executed instructions for the Warren Abstract Machine, th

Equality is not necessarily defined for values of different types ("with different vtables", if you will). You can't just compare values of different type and expect a meaningful result.
328.
by slrz 10y ago
Interface comparisons check both, the value and the dynamic type. Describing that as "comparing vtables" is misleading. It the types don't match, the operands are not considered equal. Type and value have to match for two i

To be fair, I can't think of another OS that directly supports the things Mininet wants to do. To make it work on other platforms, they'd first have to implement those from scratch there. Does FreeBSD nowadays provide some form of

Why would it only work with command line programs on the Mac? That's definitely not true, unless something changed very recently. Also, you don't need autotools itself to build a autotoolized program. The generated configure scr
