I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to; the -soname ld option is used to set the value internally to a library that that library is known as when building a library , and is used as part of ld.so at runtime to find the a

If there is going to be violence at least moving from kill-at-a-distance weapons to fists is a step in the right direction. Kill-at-a-distance weapons are often considered to be an equalizer, since it is possible for people with wildly

I wouldn't strictly blame the package managers. Last I checked, it's not straight-forward to link against any library version other than what the versionless .so symlink points to (-llibname will always use liblibname.so). The l

I find I have to think about them too long, and I think the rendering details contribute to that. There is nothing wrong with double y-axis graphs if you don't just slap them together because the x-axis has the same range. I think th

`tmp` doesn't necessarily mean that the file or the hack is temporary, but perhaps that it contains temporary, ephemeral, or temporal information.

Having a Hayes(-like) command set/interface should be the goal of more hardware. Get rid of the in-band command switching (that Hayes has with the +++) by having a separate interface/serial-line for commands. I know some 3G wire

The I/O address space provided another feature on Z80 (and 8080) machines, which was "shadow rom". Basically you booted with some "massive 8K" ROM and then you could write out a byte which would swap it in memory s

This is an extremely contrived critique. The only place an error could occur in this code is if fmt.Println returns an error. What should happen if you can't display the output? Try to print an error? This is entirely appropriate fo

"Think of the undertakers" and "think of the gravediggers" are pretty far fetched appeals to compassion.

The Ideological Turing Test is inteinteresting. I wonder how applying it to the content of The Colbert Report, and the character Colbert played on the show, would result. IIRC, someone had done some impromptu, unscientific person-on-the-st

This is a pretty good way to remind ourselves ("Never Forget") why some things are the way they are. It stands out and is perhaps unexpected, giving a chance to have a discussion around the things we want to avoid or combat. Tha

There's always Platform for Privacy Preferences[0], which is kind of what you suggest, but specifically in the context of where the TOS/site policy talks about user identity/information. It ultimately ended up being more of

I experimented with an alternative HTTP authentication scheme (like basic or digest, using the "WWW-Authenticate" header) that used ssh keys to authenticate the client. Some of the idea was based on this Joyent blog [0] post abou

Mostly that it is ill-defined and thus open to interpretation-du-jour, although I think we may be close to being past that point as an industry. It's really the same problem that agile had/has, being turned into capital-A Agile.

It is a legit complaint, but I lacked both the influence and the authority to get members of other teams to step up, and honestly that wasn't my job (not being their manager). And when there were outages operations had to be there to

The whole point of DevOps is really to get your software developers to share in the pain that certain design / development choices can cause. This is a great characterization and one of the few views of DevOps I can get behind. Unfor

You got a reference for that?, because since Craiglist is private, there doesn't seem to be much chance of a traditional "maximizing profit" in-the-shareholds-best-interst lawsuit going anywhere.

If you want an extremely small system, you can put everything you need into the initrd. It's not strictly an initrd then, since it's not really used for bootstrapping a larger system image.

While this is specifically referring to statistics in the OP: This new setup makes it possible to take something with me. Github doesn’t exploit this yet (as far as I know), but for instance, it could allow me to keep some statistics, such
