I solved the problem this way recently as well. This solution would also work with multiple threads (you can probably set the flag in thread local storage, though I haven't done that yet - currently using a global map with thread id as

In my case I don't even know why it needs read and WRITE access to ALL repositories. All I want is for it to build one public repository. It doesn't need any special permissions for that at all.

Use O_CLOEXEC everywhere (even third party libs). It's really annoying, but necessary. Means you need to use accept4(), dup3(), popen with an additional "e" (of course all of that needs to be feature tested, during compilatio

The EU recently opened a mechanism to allow banks to interact with Iran (INSTEX; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrument_in_Support_of_Trade... ). It is realtively recent and idk how much it will be used, but it is no

Theoretically being a importer is even better. You get valuable natural resources, goods, services and labour in exchange to green paper with $ on it (or database entries in banks). One just has to distribute the gains to keep the populatio

Yeah, the main problem was that the weapon is not designed to work in conditions like in Afghanistan. That's why soldiers in Afghanistan (righfully) complained. Then, the weapon trades of weight (plastic), against accuracy (in long fir

Having read the license it seems like (in MongoDB context) a license where the GPL virality is more explicitly stated to include service mangement sofware. One could already argue that this software is "derived" if it depends on a

Well, at least in Germany we kind of have the FinTS protocol to get at the data and don't have to scrape. So less need for an intermediary. I also saw something about EU regulations for bank APIs, but unfortunately not one common API.

I'd say the main problem is that there isn't a fsck for ZFS. If important metadata gets damaged you'll have to re-create the whole file system. W.r.t. to btrfs they are at least working on a fsck tool, even though it can&#x27

Maybe APFS was mainly developed for iOS?

XFS wasn't able to handle a lot of extents well (which occur with sparse images). The problem was only recently fixed, I think. That said, it should only cause memory allocation deadlocks, not corruptions.

Microsoft does this with drivers since Windows 10 (attestation singing). I think this is okay, since users hold Microsoft responsible if the kernel crashes and this at least gives them the possibility to investigate. Signing apps with norma

TokuDB seems to be written in C++. It's neat that they managed to make that work in-kernel. Also there are patent notices in the TokuDB files. So probability of it being in Linux at some point approaches zero. And with the patents they

At the very least he is a one person marketing machine making people buy pricy cars by a very new car brand using only his twitter account and his personal brand (and shooting one car at mars). Quick googling got me a VW ad budget of more t

The economist had e.g. a leader like this: https://www.economist.com/leaders/2005/06/16/after-the-fall It is possible to call bubbles, especially if they are as large and data is transparently available.

They are kind of useless for other customers. The customer reading the review might get the product from another seller, shipped by another service (might depend on shipping address). If you think it is the sellers fault, review the seller.

Maybe he left a review of the shipping process on another product, the seller reported it and now his reviews are being reviewed?

That's what happend here in Germany. There was a court case where male circumcision was ruled bodily mutilation. Afterwards they created a law to make it legal only as religious practice (after a lot of discussion).

The EU also cannot prevent Google from buying US startups, furthering they monopoly position. And US startups get more funding because they might be bought by Google.

We don't even need to look at the Snowden documents anymore. The largest Internet exchange (DE-CIX) recently lost a court case which tries to get rid of the BND wire tapping.

This whole library wouldn't be necessary if Backbalze implemented a S3 compatible API. They give reasons like being able to load balance on the client for their API (which I do no think is a good reason), but ultimately they just push

Last I heard about Venezuela and bitcoins, people there were using the "free" electricity to mine bitcoins, contributing to the rolling blackouts. And then using the bitcoins to import overpriced stuff. Yeah, you shouldn't gi

With bcache one would have a write-back cache, so it would speed up writes as well (which would be superior to L2ARC). Comparable to the L2ARC would be adding the NVMe as swap and then increasing the mysql buffer cache to 400GB or something

There is probably a large number of consultants who make money out of getting "GDPR ready" etc. and in whose interest it is to maximize the fear.

I recently read this: http://slatestarcodex.com/2018/03/22/navigating-and-or-avoid... (Applies to the US.) Sheds a bit of light on the motivations behind your treatment and how to get better treatment.

Yeah, but the distributions are a bit at fault as well. If you use btrfs on SuSE you cannot use RAID5/6 because it is not supported.

S3 is an abstraction that gives you a limited amount of operations with limited guarantees (e.g. eventual consistency, can only replace whole files). What you get in return is easier scalability and performance. If you use an S3 API to stor

Plus the SLA is different. It probably should be compared to at least AWS S3 reduced redundancy storage.
