Any change that hurts WITCH (Wipro, Infosys, TCS, Cognizant, HCL) is a good change. If they just plain banned those five, there probably wouldn't even be a lottery.

Tech aside (covered well by other commenters), the presentation itself was incredibly dry. Such a stark difference in presenting style here compared to, for example, Apple's or Goo…

Loaded it. Typed "help". Asked me for $5. Closed the app.

You can do that with standard Linux tooling available on every distribution, see https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/tc.8.html . What you're specifically looking for is `qdisc ne…

I am lucky enough to have worked on all three of these systems (TAO, ZippyDB, and currently MySQL) so can shed some light here. Both MySQL and ZippyDB are datastores that use Rocks…

I took a look and don't see any strong reasons not to use and support the official app. Tweetbot was so successful because it was competing against the official client which was (a…

Most of the "new" features are just eye candy, but usability is still very poor and way behind what they had 10 years ago. You can't do even the most trivial things, like sorting s…

There is also `colordiff` which works both as a standalone diff tool, but also as a colorizer filter for other diff tools. For example: diff -u a.txt b.txt | colordiff

It seems that the person in question was #2 on the "patent trolls top list" in 2016 https://www.rpxcorp.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/05/t...

Yes, a small but measurable improvement. The biggest perf bump you can get is probably enabling various prefetching, but most of time you are doing a performance/privacy tradeoff (…

Manifest V3 and killing web.request API were the reasons that finally convinced me to go back to Firefox. Almost a month later, I didn’t find a single thing that would make me go b…

If you use and like `ag`, I suggest taking a look at ripgrep (`rg`). It seems to be by far the fastest out of three (`ack`, `ag`, `rg`). And it has a pretty interesting codebase (w…

I wouldn’t recommend anyone to use this. Other than really poor implementation and quality of the algorithms (some of which are totally incorrect), code in that repo is anything bu…

People commenting that $35 is too much for the content included - if you want an equivalent set of channels from Comcast/XFINITY, it will cost you almost 3x more. So it's a non bra…

Not sure why are you getting downvoted, I came here to make the same comment. QPM is a useless metric. When talking about distributed systems from engineering point of view, you al…

It's basically the Sieve of Eratosthenes[1] algorithm, and it's possible to do it with regular expressions because numbers here are represented in unary[2] number system, where num…

You don't need grep for that, ss can already filter by state on its own. Use: "ss -o state LISTENING"

For a moment I thought I was reading Buzzfeed, not the Economist.

Because the whole story was bs? Zuckerberg himself commented on that https://www.facebook.com/zuck/posts/10100828955847631

Correct, if you try to open :9090/" rel="nofollow">http:// :9090/ it will get automatically started. I'm not concerned about the resources it uses, I just don't like having service…

One thing that I was pretty annoyed about while testing (server) beta and alpha was Cockpit web UI that is enabled by default. I know it's easy to disable it with `systemctl disabl…

Even if API gave you strong durability guarantees, it still wouldn't mean much. Disk caches, big enterprise SAN attached storages etc, they can also "cheat", saying they flushed th…
