This drifting away for the original topic... or maybe it isn't that much if the pessimists are right in the end that IA will shut down after this lawsuit and we need other ressources when searching for something that has disappeared fr

Last release 2019, master branch marked as non-functional. Doesn't seem to be very active. Their homepage https://libbitcoin.info/ looks polished, but no signs of recent life. This vulnerability seems unmentioned. Well

OpenSUSE had this 7 years ago when I last used it. I think they still have it, it's called snapper. Not that I would really have turned any Linux significantly non-functional by updating during the last 15 years. But it's all soft

If Microsoft used decent security practices they could just revoke a key and the leaked version would stop working on all updated systems. But it's Microsoft, so I would be surprised

Like with Apple? Or Google Android? Or Microsoft Windows you must pay for even if you never use it? Not trying to say the phone system is without problems. But it's often "modern" IT people who criticize it with attitude we c

Bug reporting and other volunteering are always welcome. But there is no problem if a user doesn't do it. Saying it is expected sounds like an exaggeration to me.

They write that commercial licenses are available. Is it a shame the Apple's pricing holds back adoption considering how good their product quality is [*]? [*] Not a fanboy and not ever a user since 1995ish. Just an analogy.

I cannot parse the title. Probably the plugin is open-source. But where does "program" belong to? Either way, if you don't use IDA or don't even know what it really is (like myself), this is not for you. Comments telling

It's quite the opposite philosophy: Debian keeps things stable for a long time. Tumbleweed updates huge parts of the system rather frequently. And to have a safety net, it takes snapshots of the installation before the upgrade. You can

You can do useful things without selling user data to Google. Yes it's selling: You provied the data, Google gives you hosted services back. If you think embedded fonts are useful for you, you can host them. Then you pay the bill and n

The link is interesting, but more a rant than convincing not to use set -e. What would be the alternative? Handling errors yourself in every single command will for sure introduce more surprises and bugs. Of course bash is not the language

I guess to get a well-defined behavior the interrupt handler needs to clear the EXIT trap.

by usr1106 3y ago
Why do people write such standards? May occur. I don't need a standard to do something random.

by usr1106 3y ago
Of course using set -e without an exit handler is contraproductive. We use an exit handler that reports "$0 has exited prematurely" in cases the script did not reach expected exit points.

by usr1106 3y ago
What are the arguments to leave it out? Of course in special cases where you do explicit error handling you can disable it. But for the big mass of commands where nobody checks whether it worked.

Will that work? The site mentions that it's not indexed by search machines. So I guess it has a robots.txt (on my phone and did not check...) Would the archive respect that?

For robust code you should also use set -e. This changes things again. Often a process started by the shell will get the signal, too (depends of course on how it is sent) and exit with a non-zero return value (depends on the process of cour

bash scripts have their use cases, many things are shorter and simpler than in Python. But coders should bother to learn how bash works and use shellcheck. Just guessing from how things work in another language typically leads to buggy code

SMSes have confirmed delivery. If the SMSC does not get the confirmation (on lower protocol layer, nothing to with delivery reports) it will send the SMS again. So duplicate delivery is possible. Because there is no unique identfier, the ph

Using the ticket requires to use a phone with either Google Play or an iPhone. Alternative phone firmware (degoogled Android, SailfishOS, etc.), paper tickets, smart cards or anything else are not supported.
