I think he wants to bring to peoples attention that if you give someone sudo rights for a specific program chances are that they will be able to elevate their privilegies.

A typed and fast Python with concurrency is something I've wanted for the longest time. I really hope that this will take off.

Well, I don't tolerate just anything. But I much rather have "fixed fs race" than "merged a13b1z: <issue 14365><subsystem core><signoff:dave> changed fs_handle.lock to use blargh_lock_45"

I'm not criticizing Antirez, he seems to be on the recieving end.

Oh god, another commit message discussion. It's funny how the ones who contribute the least to the functionality have the most outspoken opinions on commit messages. Perhaps it's easier to be puritan when you only handle trivial c

I'm not sure that private offices would work. Such an arrangement assumes that the devs take a lot of personal responsibility for collaboration and staying productive. Although some might be able to handle this I've met far too ma

You bring up some interesting points. I guess you could compare the DOM to the OpenGL/DirectX scene, with some differences. I'm not entirely convinced that the graphics rendering is less complex though, considering occlusion light

Sorry I should have said view state. Dirty rectangles are indeed such an optimization, you are right.

I just have to add that this is how pages were generated server-side before XmlHttpRequest emerged. This was deliberate. Addressable and re-loadable states were part of the original design by Tim Berners-Lee. The fact that we have had this

I think it all depends on the granularity of dependencies and how you cope with multiple versions. If every app have their own version of a lib, you get problems with security updates and bloat. If you force a single version of each lib, yo

You can set up dual boot with an EFI boot manager such as efibootmgr, refit or refind. First shrink your mac partition with disk utility in Mac OS X or gparted, then use the free space to install Linux. The cleanest way to share data would

Have you considered user-mode Linux (UML) as something in between LXC and KVM?

How about Kneejerk? It sounds reactive enough %D. Jokes aside, I don't really see why a name change would be warranted. The current name is not very descriptive, granted, but does it need to be?

This is not the first time low quality keys have been produced. I'm thinking of https://www.debian.org/security/2008/dsa-1571 . Seems like quality control is a bigger problem than we would like to admit.

Most linux distros can be considered a collection of micro services. The stability vs innovation tradeoffs inherent to this type of systems is well understood, as is the complexity of updating and testing compatibility. I don't see why

Error detection is unfortunately similar if not identical to the halting problem for most cases, and heartbeating is not an exception. For each system there is a single state which exhibits correct behaviour and an infinite set of states wh

Thanks for the response. I was more thinking about languages which have mechanisms for this though. What did you mean by extendable types?

..Which is ironic since xhtml was supposed to be strict enough that browsers could stop being so tolerant.

Sounds interresting! Could you provide a link? Can't seem to find anything relevant.

Nice! How do you do this on ARM exactly?

Nice article. It inspired me to look around for some more straightforward way of optimizing, and I found the setcc class of instructions: http://www.nynaeve.net/?p=178 I'm thinking that this combined with some CAS (CMP

The view technique was actually great. You could write performant parsing and matching code without having to keep track of positions in the string. The current situation is much worse. You get crazy amounts of allocation and GC for code th

The problem is not so much threads as the current implementations of threads. So instead of inventing your own crappy thread-like continuation passing style to circumvent threads, we could be spending time fixing them. Linux used to have hu
