For a standardized language like SQL you don't have API incompatibility. Yet a cost based optimiser may break your application, completely. Calendar Versioning prompts to update and highlights that you should test the behaviour every t

Actually sorting should be fine. The order of UTF-8 will always be the same as the codepoints encoded under it if you sort it as binary. I really appreciate this property of UTF-8, and I can highly recommend to do a pen&paper exercise t

There were several articles around that... It was a very special manufacturing procedure, something that is hard to copy without the special hardware. And Apple bought all that supply. You couldn't get the production line to do it... (

In the EU you can use https://geizhals.eu/?cat=nb which is pretty decent. I'm using that regularly to check options. Is something like this not available in the US/other territories? If not: here is your opportuni

My must-have list is https everywhere (from EFF) and uBlock origin. I hope that the mobile browser will get at least the same level of attention as in the past.

Start by using done service discovery. That way service names stay the same but service implementations and locations can move. Then ship the static list of names (should be short) and per-service credentials (highly highly recommended). An

I have a somehow different view on swap. The issue is not swap or swap utilisation, the problem is worst case latency. Even for a database an OOM is usually better than a latency hit that makes it unusable slow. As a simple example an app m

Well, errors at a rate of one every few terabyte, and most of the time it was mainly decompression, and always caused program abort iirc. But those have been a few years ago, so my best advice would be: retest. You are testing your archives

pbzip2 only does parallel compression. lbzip2 can parallelize compression and decompression. With both pbzip2 and lbzip2 I got errors every now and then while everything worked with bzip2. YMMV. Also note that bzip2 is block based (due to b

You can ping Barton (the project Sputnik head) on twitter about pricing and availability bugs. He usually gets them sorted quickly and is happy about feedback. I've reported issues when the XPS13 launched. It works. They fix this stuff

The touchpad works well with multi-tap and can handle single/double/tripple tab. Feel free to map that to the middle mouse if needed. The keyboard is actually quite good once you get used to it. I used to need a keyboard replaceme

Why would you want to go to a gas station? Batteries improve ~15% per year ($$$ / kWh stored). It appears to be some sort of moore's law for batteries. It also means we'll see way better batteries in 10 years (4x better regar

Namespaces is something I consider a strong plus for XMPP. You may want to extend the data model at some point. You need a way to say "this is my extension, please ignore it". Or at least you need it if you want multiple implement

Preallocating memory is usually an opimization for throughput. Servers can have up to 1TB of ram without becoming overpriced. But starving 80k users due to low buffering will be expensive in the long run. Way more expensive than RAM ;-)

Buy a domain on a service that allows API-based DNS updates. Put up a RPI at home. postfix + dovecot + roundcube should do the trick. Add FW forwardings for 80/443/25 (or allow IPv6 to pass through) Update DNS records every N minu
