Sometimes I don't want to fork, e.g., if there's nothing waiting for input, e.g., the last program in a pipe. prog |prog |exec prog The usual way to do this is to put it in a shell script, then run the shell script. Though it would be nice

I meant fork(2). Maybe edit the source to optionally use execve?

Interesting to read the comments. They should just rewrite the C resolver library for UNIX. Let's face it, the Plan 9^W^WGo team would probably produce a more elegant result than what we're using now, which has had its share of bugs over

Has anyone read the motion (available from an economist.com server)? This what the Rolling Stone article is based on. Is the issue whether and how GS makes money from the practice of naked short selling? Maybe the issue is that feeding th

You mean the Go tools have their own resolver? The blog at miek.nl says that Go had a DNS library written in Go in the provided samples for a while, then they removed it. It would be interesting to know why.

Mirror replies: That's a tough question, Nathan, because you just keep creating new ones. No single company can accumulate that much hate and they can't be easily linked to a single source. Disperse the hate. I must admit, you are one cl

Should the public have the right to see the full details of "fails"? The SEC website says disclosing this info would put firms like GS at a competitive disadvantage. But someone has to know which sales cleared and which did not. How can we

Patents don't troll. People do. For example, people who run companies, like the shell companies IV incorporates. It's not the patent that reveals trolling. Rather, what indicates trolling are the actions of the person running the company

I remember reading that thread some time ago. Are you the engineer who was rude to the journalist?

"after much deliberation". Why did the team deliberate so much? I will let the readers ponder this. There are already some very good stub resolvers and resolver libraries available to users (e.g. dnsqr and the djbdns library). I have a har

"after much deliberation the <bold>Chrome team is now experimenting with building its own DNS resolver</bold>" With all due respect, I think you have missed the point.

You are right, of course. Perhaps I momentarily forgot the context. I am reading his words on HN, not listening to them at a commencement. Big difference. I confess I have not read Moneyball. I mistook it as the work of a baseball fan a

Perhaps we could draw it as the difference between "would pay" and "paid". You can put a price on something, but until someone has paid it, it seems difficult to argue that the thing is "worth" your price... to anyone. But people routinely

Getting out of dodge. Maybe this is why he was brief: His point is a potentially unpopular one. It is just a very interesting topic. One that few who are successful would dare to explore in depth. It would be interesting to hear how his br

Anything that cannot boot from USB, SD card, or some externally connected media, should be approached with caution. If you can boot from external media, then generally you can dual boot. Someone may have to show you how to prepare media fo

Did Lewis work at Goldman? Have you read Liar's Poker? How are you qualified to comment on his career?

"This isn't just false humility. It's false humility with a point." This is why I like Lewis' writing. Liar's Poker had a huge influence on me at an influential age. There's always a sense that he's playing the same game that he's writing

Ask: How is the patent being used? If the patent holder is not manufacturing a product but is threatening to sue others based on the patent, it's trolling. IV manufactures nothing. However, through shell corporations, they threaten to sue

He mentions running out of memory addresses when there's still ample physical memory available. The obvious thought is: We need to create more addressable space to take advantage of this plentiful physical memory. The less obvious thought i

djb once wrote a FORTH implementation for the IOCC. It would be cool to get it running under current BSD/Linux/Solaris. Arthur Whitney is another I would put on par with djb. He's a bit older than djb. For expertise you can't beat W. Rich

Yes, same functionality. I only meant the implementation, the code. Let's take an example: The APL and APL-related languages. IBM and some other old companies have been licensing these "languages" for many years. But what are people rea
