    Sensationalist title, the actual behavior described in the issue this links to is: Rust language doesn't offer lookaround regex features This is due to the standard library regex i…

    This might be of interest to others: Last night I stumbled across Hornbeam, a library in a similar vein from the author of Gunicorn that handles WSGI / ASGI apps as well as a speci…

    I think you misunderstand how mesh VPNs work. Their primary purpose is as a control plane - introducing peers to each other so they can either communicate directly or via a relay (…

    It looks like the host kernel is not in full control – there is a EL2-level hypervisor, pKVM [1] that is actually the highest-privilege domain. This is pretty similar to the Xen ar…

    For those of us that don’t work at AWS, their docs are actually quite good at describing the Nitro system, very interesting read: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/sec…

    You might be interested in learning about Erlang – it supports hot code reloads natively: https://oozou.com/blog/understanding-elixir-otp-applications...

    Erik also made "Wanderers" about this feeling, quoting Carl Sagan. Highly recommend watching it: https://erikwernquist.com/wanderers

    I don’t think the point about disk wear is true. ZFS is a block-based CoW filesystem already, so the “erase” is actually something more like “make a new metadata entry that points …

    This is linked in the footer of this page, but Graham Christensen has an excellent blog post “Erase your darlings” [1] that explains why you might want to do this. There is a scrip…

    Unfortunately this syntax is not generally supported yet - it's only supported with the buildkit backend and only landed in the 1.3 "labs" release. It was moved to stable in early …

    Yes, as far as I understand it breaks it, but combined with a package manager like Nix / Guix / Spack, this tool enables atomically upgrading dynamic library dependencies on a per-…

    How are these docs being built? I really like how these look and it looks to be asciidoc based, but I can't seem to find a build script for these.

    I disagree that GUI tools like STM32CubeMX are useful. They end up being a crutch that end up adding increasingly complex wizard driven autogeneration, rather than just exposing th…

    Dotfiles aren't enough to fully describe a system configuration, though. I'll regularly use both CentOS to Ubuntu, and both the available configuration tools and default services (…

    I think that’s missing the point he was making. No matter what front-end representation of a system you get, the implementation backing a no-code system will have edge cases around…

    PPC 32 bit is still used extensively in the embedded space. It's understandable that it's not the main target for newer languages as LLVM support seems to be sparse (and practicall…
