What does the "Compression" in the name mean? Is it compressing data, RAM Doubler style? Or does it mean the physical form factor is smaller? Or what?

The X is a bit meaningless though. Xtended? It could have leaned into the hypermedia angle and been Hyper-HTML, or H2ML.

> I doubt, as that would break any FileChannel.write(ByteBuffer) that expects the buffer to be consumed (remaining()==0) You can't expect that with AsynchronousFileChannel::write at the moment, though, because the buffer is consumed

Loom goes in the opposite direction: it presents a programming model where everything is blocking all the time, then makes threads lightweight, so that's scalable. It doesn't do anything to make file operations truly async; it mak

AIUI, what happens is that no logging is ever lost, it is just not associated with the right service. This happens when a child process spawns, writes something, then dies before systemd is able to find the child's PID and map it to a

Does this let them modify the unit file, create units, create timers, etc? User systemd allows that kind of complete self-service, and so lets you do application deployment and management without touching the root account, which is rather n

by twic 3y ago
This is it. For example, systemd (a) allows you to run services as a normal user, not as root, (b) treats child processes of a service process as part of that service, and (c) collects logs from services. Except if you try to do all three,

In a similar vein, but already existing, nosh lets you use systemd unit files and commands via a shim layer: https://jdebp.uk/Softwares/nosh/

Oh, there are definitely more! The question is whether, without Starlink, there are enough for SpaceX's vision to be viable.

I picked September last year [1] more or less at random; SpaceX launches by day of the month: 01 - Starlink 02 - military 04 - Starlink 09 - Starlink 12 - Starlink 16 - Starlink 20 - Starlink 24 - Starlink 25 - Starlink

Before Starlink, SpaceX assumed/hoped that a mass of new customers would come out of the woodwork when cheap launches became available (the easyJet strategy!). When they didn't, they came up with Starlink to be that customer.

FWIW, on a Das Keyboard, the Windows keys have a little Das logo on them, rather than a Windows logo.

This is awesome! I'll be able to map that to window manager functions in Cinnamon, and they won't conflict with any application's keystrokes.

They are certainly different, but to say there is nothing similar is plainly untrue - apart from nominal vs structural, they are pretty much the same. I'm not sure how significant the nominal vs structural distinction even is. In Go, a

In his defence, their interfaces do work somewhat differently to Java's, because they don't need to be explicitly implemented. I don't know if that matters enough to make them a novel invention, though.

My version of low code is writing HTML pages with a big script element full of vanilla JavaScript, and putting them in this one git repo we have which gets deployed to a web server. Obviously it's not actually low code, it's 100%

The parallelism isn't part of POSIX though (AFAIK), that's an extension by whoever wrote your xargs. If what you really mean is that it's already installed on every machine you use, fair enough. But it's not strictly por
