The more layers you have, the more time you need to convert all of them to IPv6 (from network to all the applications). IPv6 implementations of various things is always less complete than their IPv4 counterpart. Notably, even low-level stuf

More and more people are now getting IPv6-only connections (notably on mobile). To access IPv4-only websites, the ISP is using "carrier-grade NAT". Therefore, if your website is IPv4-only, users will go through a big translation c

This is already the case for SuSE and Redhat. Package names are different, RPM macros are different. Doing a package that works for both is gruesome. Also, at the time of SysV, you had to use two different init scripts.

That's a good reason to include license terms in each file. I don't think that Wordpress people were malicious here. The LICENSE file usually contains the global licensing terms (as seen in many GNU projects). Each source file sho

The score is a bit flawed as it assumes pertinent information can only be contained in text, not in images.

I agree. There have been far easier local exploit in the past. For example CVE-2006-2451 whose exploitation was quite simple and not using any race condition. Also CVE-2009-2692 or CVE-2010-3049. Browsing exploit-db makes it easy to find th

That's a bit unfair since: 1. Most users won't be affected by all the exploits (you don't stuff in a VM all models of network cards, SCSI controllers, etc) 2. Many deployments of QEMU (through Xen or Libvirt) are protected by

More and more clients are now IPv6 only (notably on mobile). If your service is only accessible through IPv4, the client will access it some kind of stateful equipments to do the conversion between IPv6 and IPv4. You are likely to get a sma

Python also uses autogeneration for most of the documentation, but the documentation itself is not fully autogenerated. You write your documentation and you say to Sphinx: put the generated documentation for this module here. IMO, this is s

This part is here since quite some time (since the introduction of the "new" protocol, two years ago). It is not the complete picture since it's only the low-level view (mDNS and protobuf). It's not sufficient to build a

SystemTap enables the same kind of analysis for a few years already. And it works well with older kernels (starting from 3.2, but really from 3.13). Of course, an in-kernel solution is better (and I believe that SystemTap will soon use it).

Both links contain figures about non-native speakers. And it seems that native/non-native Chinese speakers are more numerous than native/non-native English speakers.
