Is there a list of CMD builtins somewhere?

In the case of find and sort, the command invoked also depends on argument sniffing, with a fallback through the registry when that is indecisive: https://github.com/microsoft/core…

The method is called `CoherentAllocation::into_parts`. And it takes self by value, which means the struct is consumed (this is implied by the into_ prefix). Of course you would eit…

> will they abdicate their power Yeah, no. This is a coup and they are all in. They would not be this blatant about taking control illegally and fast if they expected to leave any …

Looks like the Steam team moved to control spawning and do execvpe. I would like to see at least in-process environment modification discouraged. Rust is dealing with the issue by …

It is possible to check for setenv/unsetenv/putenv with nm -D, and a quick sample of my ~/.cargo/bin/* shows far too many programs using those. Yeah they could be single threaded, …

There's a proof of concept here: https://sinrega.org/2024-03-06-enabling-containers-gpu-macos...

There was indeed sabotage, in the form of dismantling and not replacing hundreds of working mail sorting machines in an election year: https://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewsolender/2…

I've had my own bad experiences with Btrfs (it doesn't behave well when close to full), and my intuition is that Facebook's use of it is in a limited operational domain. It works w…

fclones for example covers it well for any filesystem with reflinks: https://lib.rs/crates/fclones fclones group |fclones dedupe

> Error handling on CRC read error > 2 or more copies of file, CRC on error, read other copy, data returned to userspace, does not correct bad copy That's been implemented; in Linu…

The Into argument feels a little too magical. Since you are not constrained by a trait, I would prefer something like Span::add_with_reference(&self, other: &Span, reference: impl …

The other actress wasn't the only one involved in the production; she provided input but OpenAI building a voice model would involve a lot of data and input. They had to have a mod…

Emergency braking feels more like shoving the wheel forward than shifting oneself behind the wheel. You ignore balance for a while, get yourself into a sitting position fast, the s…

Adept -> Guru is the logical association

There are two level of pointers: the environment block points to an array of pointers to C strings, this higher-level pointer can be updated and the previous one freed, which is a …

Who doesn't? libc itself calls getenv when getting system time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38344224 You may have a mutex on getenv/setenv, like the Rust stdlib does, but …

kernel developers are free to factor in common functionality, calling into it library style, without making it into an externally visible layer. IIRC fs encryption and case insensi…

Of course bcachefs can cache data; that was the main draw of bcache as well. Quoting an example from https://bcachefs.org/GettingStarted/ bcachefs format /dev/sd[ab]1 \ --foregroun…

I think the word they were looking for is "fragmented".

I was thinking of that around the "stack-based interpreted language" paragraph. Mozilla's RLBox/wasm2c approach would be good for this, for example. Postscript can still mix data a…

Thank you! I couldn't find it last time I needed it (it was on a Heroku domain that went https://http.cat/status/404 )

404 is handled exceptionally inside the sequence, and for a while it was double-exceptionally possible to land on it through the random button: https://web.archive.org/web/20190328…
