Ah, sorry I didn't read that closely. One minor nit (which the Perl press releases also mess up): the randomisation is per- interpreter , not per- process . That's not a pedantic distinction. I've seen a couple of bugs/b

Perl also changed its behavior, but in the other direction: a random seed was used per interpreter start after 5.18. https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1005122

Why does stackfulness not color functions? So long as preemption/parallelism boundaries are manually annotated, I don’t think stackful coroutines save you anything here.

No, instead they have subinterpteters with all of the massive overhead that brings re: data sharing. And even fewer CPAN modules are remotely thread safe than PyPi modules, probably in absolute as well as relative terms. That’s a low bar. A

er, functools.partial, too late to edit.

by zbentley 2y ago
Functions.partial can also supply captures in that way, and is slightly more obvious (and less likely to generate linter complaints if the kwarg is mutable).

There's a comment downthread discussing something similar; I haven't tried it though: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40695179

You're not wrong, but I'd say fail2ban still has value for junior operators seeking to reduce load and increase stability . If you don't know how to harden SSH, fail2ban is offers a much friendlier way to reduce the volume o

As the sibling comments show, nohup does occasionally have sharp edges re: sharing/inheriting std* streams. I've also encountered inconsistencies when using nohup with lots of different users' shells (academics of wildly vari

In addition to standardization headaches, the wheel issue discussed is also hindered by using file names as an at least somewhat complex medatata structure's transport. Sure, you can do that, but it's a pain in the ass even if y

Off the top of my head: - Minimal standardization of ways to cache pre-built artifacts for modules with binary/XS components (no widely adopted wheel equivalent). - Extremely poor support in cpan-the-tool for multiple local::lib enviro

Yeah, that's incredibly frustrating. There's an open issue about it which you can express support for, and some marginally-hacky code that you can paste into a "debug_wheel.py"-ish script to get unblocked in the short te

Maybe so. But they did cave on/rethink decisions around: the MagSafe adapter; butterfly switches; laptop thinness generally (but only a little); onboard HDMI/SD; touchbar controls (for now). Not saying that means they'll imme

Systemd has managed mount points on systems where it runs for a long time. It provides mount units an alternative to fstab mount directives, which offers some advantages (including parallelism of at-boot mounting, granular mount dependencie

When it comes to porting Win11, does MSFT have something like Rosetta to ease the pain for applications during the transitional period? Sure, plenty of windows users (business and personal computing) rely primarily on first-party apps, brow

Depends: I wonder what programming tools/languages were present on the old PowerBook. Otherwise, getting any handwritten program or its associated tools/runtimes (if necessary) onto the laptop might be just as much of a challenge

Wouldn’t BFS only require Lombok’s presence at the build step rather than after deployment? Or is your stance here against it showing up a a transitive during development when including sources written with Lombok? If so, that’s pretty extr

This is a compiler. It's a compiler that executes at a weird time (during program startup), but it's a compiler nevertheless. It's exactly as secure, or not, as its input code and the runtime in which that code runs once comp

I think you’re arguing with someone who isn’t here. Nobody is endorsing the practices in TFA “because it’s Google”/in order to be like Google. Sure, people elsewhere make those claims all the time, and they’re wrong, but that’s not in

Could you edit your comment and remove the last paragraph? It’s interesting info until you veer into personal insults, which doesn’t help you inform others.

Wow, I hate this. But it’s … oddly almost kinda elegant? In a very hard to mentally model way, but even so. Speaking more seriously than is perhaps warranted, I’d slightly prefer it if there were syntactically different “catch” constructs f
