Sometimes I don't want to fork, e.g., if there's nothing waiting for input, e.g., the last program in a pipe. prog |prog |exec prog The usual way to do this is to put it in a shell…

I meant fork(2). Maybe edit the source to optionally use execve?

Interesting to read the comments. They should just rewrite the C resolver library for UNIX. Let's face it, the Plan 9^W^WGo team would probably produce a more elegant result than w…

How to avoid forking?

kona I use it as my shell.

Has anyone read the motion (available from an economist.com server)? This what the Rolling Stone article is based on. Is the issue whether and how GS makes money from the practice …

You mean the Go tools have their own resolver? The blog at miek.nl says that Go had a DNS library written in Go in the provided samples for a while, then they removed it. It would …

"The best solution is not to need money." "The startups that really get hosed are going to be the ones... that pay little attention to profitability."

Mirror replies: That's a tough question, Nathan, because you just keep creating new ones. No single company can accumulate that much hate and they can't be easily linked to a singl…

Should the public have the right to see the full details of "fails"? The SEC website says disclosing this info would put firms like GS at a competitive disadvantage. But someone ha…

"after much deliberation the Chrome team is now experimenting with building its own DNS resolver " With all due respect, I think you have missed the point.

You are right, of course. Perhaps I momentarily forgot the context. I am reading his words on HN, not listening to them at a commencement. Big difference. I confess I have not read…

Perhaps we could draw it as the difference between "would pay" and "paid". You can put a price on something, but until someone has paid it, it seems difficult to argue that the thi…

Getting out of dodge. Maybe this is why he was brief: His point is a potentially unpopular one. It is just a very interesting topic. One that few who are successful would dare to e…

Can you quote the portion of the article where it says he sat next to the wife of a Goldman employee?

Anything that cannot boot from USB, SD card, or some externally connected media, should be approached with caution. If you can boot from external media, then generally you can dual…

Did Lewis work at Goldman? Have you read Liar's Poker? How are you qualified to comment on his career?

"This isn't just false humility. It's false humility with a point." This is why I like Lewis' writing. Liar's Poker had a huge influence on me at an influential age. There's always…

What is dll/dependency hell?
