Also surprised an async completion was writing to the stack. You should normally pass a heap buffer to these functions and keep it alive e.g for the lifetime of the object being wa…

I think they went even further and 3d printed their thumbprint and unlocked their phone with it, if I remember correctly.

Lol, author's thought process mirrored mine as I read the article, as I was reading I was thinking, 'doesn't kqueue support that?... and then a section on kqueue. Then I was thinki…

This is the best response so far. Session churn creates lots of db activity but lots of it is of low business value. Better to offload to a separate process. Also session data is o…

Oh Man, I think I have a candidate for the Apology Homepage.

Ah Tom Baker, also a gem. Was also interested to hear one of the background clips mentioning how the greenhouse effect was 'really starting to bite', and this was in 1990.

At last an explanation that makes a bit of sense to me. >Hopefully they own up to this, and explain what they're going to do to prevent another global-impact process failure They p…

Something crashes, it's _never_ a compiler bug ... April 16 Oh, it actually is a compiler bug! Can confidently say I've never experienced one in my career, but at some level of abs…

Wouldn't say so. An iterative model which has been up-front loaded with a firm architecture, feature elaboration, a rough development and testing plan, resources allocated and some…

I wonder how well they hold up in strong storms, or if they can be folded away for safety.

We have a separate service that we pay for to recycle our plastic, and do exactly that; separate out all plastic and put in these bags - and yes, agreed, the amount of plastic is s…

I'm also amused to see that 40 years later that they have "Copy Macintosh HD" on the Edit menu - like it's a floppy disk you can just copy to drive B :)

Who and where? Russian propagandist, on Russian tv. You just have to wait for some horrendous act of indiscriminate killing by Russia to occur in Ukraine and they come out to justi…
