isn't this what things like flatpack/snap try to offer?

You should get a "text file busy" error if you try that. What you can do is delete and then recreate the executable. Then the deleted data simply sticks around on disk until it's no longer referenced

Moving all ASN/X509 handling to Rust might be worth it though. That stuff is a minefield and has had plenty of memory-safety issues in the past.

Cashing out and actually getting $50B may be as much of a challenge as finding the private key

Frequent problem indeed with dirt from pockets, but I'd recommend a toothpick over something metal.

If you found this unusable, you probably haven't had to work with the Virtualbox-backed version of Docker for Mac :-) Have you considered storing the npm_modules and running webpack on a tmpfs/volume (so that it doesn't have

My theory is still that it was about using Word as a component to write replies. However, if they delayed the HTML->Word conversion to that point, everyone would complain to MS "Reply is broken!" By using Word as a viewer the e

This was basically the idea behind the Windows registry - a single configuration store. With mostly the same tree structure on Machine and User level, so your local prefs could override machine-level prefs. The 'user' part was por

C is full of record based stuff. Apart from the numeric modifiers to printf and scanf we have fread, fwrite, calloc all taking record sizes

This doesn’t sound right. I know we evaluated linode vs do in 2016, and dropped linode because of lack of volume support. Digitalocean had that, even if only in FRA1, but it surely was ahead of linode back then (Not sure if block storage ca

By that definition, the OEM versions of Windows would be walled gardens too.

There is no spec to conform to to work around these cache issues. (IE was even worse in the past, shutting down the back forward cache if devtools were opened. Have fun debugging that) But imagine Windows opening an app, drawing the last kn

These install hooks... Why are they needed at all and why can't package (de)installation be without side effects ? I'm sure the hooks are needed for things NPM can't do by itself, but they shouldn't run by default. That

There’s also -w which sets up a point to point tunnel which you can route over - even more powerful than the SOCKS server

For comparison, how do you feel about Transmeta?

Not necessarily. "Just" making it free software (eg slapping a GPL v2 on Elasticsearch) doesn't require AWS to share any changes to the codebase, and wouldn't have prevented the current AWS/Elastic drama as it would

That doesn’t require open source, just the source. (Some?) Borland compilers used to come with the source of their standard library, which allowed us to hack around bugs in their time() implementation, but it wasn’t open source.

ReiserFS could apparently actually do that, rebuilding the FS by scanning the blocks... and would even merge contained ReiserFS images (for eg. virtual machines) into the top level FS. No personal experience though, but see https:/&#x

It doesn't kill your downstream directly, but you can't send the acknowledgements for the download fast enough if the upload is saturated. That kills your download speed

The answer probably depends a lot on what you're used to from other languages. Java users might want to make 404 an exception (FileNotFoundException), C++ users probably wouldn't throw an exception for that

Yep. There was talk of ANAME records at IETF but that doesn't seem to be really going somewhere Some DNS servers implement something they often call ALIAS, but it's basically the equivalent of having a crontab mirror the settings

HTTPSSVC might, as a side effect, finally solve the problem of not being able to point the root of a domain (eg 'google.com') to a CDN. (although the rollout of HTTPSSVC to all DNS servers and domain hoster APIs will probably take

You need to know if you're talking to the server you think you're connecting to, otherwise a man-in-the-middle could impersonate the server and intercept the handshake to see the hostname you're trying to connect. So you need

Maybe they are already developing their own "MS1" in secret ? But even if they are, it would make sense to release Windows 10 for the M1 and getting Win-developers to start porting their applications to ARM, so they could leap-fro

ECHR is not an EU institution but a Council of Europe institution (not to be confused with the European Council, of course) The ECHR still has jurisdiction over the UK, at least until the UK cancels the relevant treaties which it now can do
