Isn't S3 Express not the same API? You have to use a "directory bucket" which isn't an object store anymore, as it has actual directories. To be honest I'm not actually sure how di…

> By far the most important aspect is that we need to keep the new codebase as compatible as possible, both in terms of semantics and in terms of code structure. We expect to maint…

I haven't read "Changing Minds". > As he points out: it would be terrible! We’d lose the intuitive understanding of how to use the gears to solve any situation we encounter. Which …

The timeline says that the initial report was 6/16 and the initial patches were 7/8 and 7/18. It's not clear to me what was exploitable when.

> In exchange for such favorable terms (i.e., small carrying cost, matures on death), the bank will receive a share of the collateral’s appreciation (essentially amounting to “stoc…

I'm not following what you're saying. Why do we need a callback? In this imaginary design, the syscalls you make would look something like: - BeginChannelTx -> return ChannelTxID -…

> Blocking within one, with those locks acquired, and thunking back down to userspace, would mean that 1. a CPU core, and 2. the filesystem itself, would both be tied up indefinite…

Works as expected? Wouldn't that WHERE clause filter out all of the rows? Is that frequently desired behavior?

I was really really excited when I saw the title because I've been having a lot of difficulties with other Go SQL libraries, but the caveats section gives me pause. Needing to use …

Can someone explain why Blastdoor has been unsuccessful? Is it too hard a problem to restrict what iMessage can do?

Can you point to a source that defines Levenstein distance as only referring to bitstreams? A translation of the original article [1] that introduced the concept notes in a footnot…

Where? CTRL-F Randen doesn't show anything, and the Randen repo claims it's faster than ChaCha8.

DevOps engineer link appears to 404.

Oh I guess we don't need maintenance then

I read "pull backups" as "restore from backup" not "make backups".

Did you even read my comment? I acknowledged that.

> So yes, if you need 100% deterministic, Nix is your guy. There are two orthogonal problems here: a lack of package isolation and nondeterminism. Nix isolates packages, such that …

It's not clear to me that this really solves the same problems that Nix does. I'd imagine this solution inherits any problems that pacman has. The Arch wiki states that "if two pac…

What does... how is this relevant to anything I said?

This, 100%. Pain points I've run into: 1. Lack of clarity as to how language/application package managers interact with Nix (pip, stack, Vundle). Pretty much every time I've asked …

The Chrome backspace changes were justified, I think, by the large numbers of accidental actuations due to text input boxes not being in focus. Plus they added some text indicating…

This article prompted the following questions for me: 1. How well did the historical systems do, and why? Presumably non-negligible key travel is not a modern invention. 2. How muc…

The patent in question is a patent on the obvious use, not the underlying method. "Deep convolutional neural nets trained using backprop or adversarial networks" is not the thing b…

A design that technically violates a law, but is not actually dangerous - suppose the law constrains designs in a way that requires them to be less effective or safe - is not neces…
