I would be much more interested if they fully open sourced an S3-compatible git backend that anybody could use with any S3-compatible service. Does such a thing exist? Hmmm...

I don't know enough about rust to confirm or deny that -- but unless rust somehow puts a limit on in-flight async operations, I don't see how it would help. The problem is not resource usage in go. The problem is that they create

You can have this problem with any kind of thread -- including OS threads -- if you do an unbounded spawn loop. Go is hardly unique in this. Goroutines are actually better AFAIK because they distribute work on a thread pool that can be muc

Can't really speak to the point of the guy you're replying to, but the FreeIPA implementation via SSSD does more than just Kerberos tickets. Actually, I think the Kerberos based stuff as it relates to SSH is GSSAPI as part of ssh

I think the hate is more about the fact that nobody gave enough of a damn to catch the error before it went public...

No need to worry, that's what the B Ark is for.

Yes. The "official release" is just so old as to be useless at this point. They should either update it or take it down and point people at github or something, IMO. I use the latest version all the time. The newer renderer (&q

I'll be surprised if the noises coming out of LM are anything other than PR, but it's not impossible. That said, I agree, it would probably be far too expensive if it did happen. I look forward to seeing what happens with all

You're welcome to believe that. Visible progress to date suggests otherwise to me; I pretty much ignore what Elon says as much as possible. Besides, however ridiculous, 15 full stacks would still be cheaper than a single SLS launch i

On launches, it's conceivable that they can do the launches in 20 days if they do one a day. I ignore reusability, because I don't see it as required to meet the need. They're known for moving fast, and they're building

Complexity vs. Tedium. There's a difference. The SpaceX approach requires a lot of launches, but they're already proven experts at that. They've launched something like 130 rockets this year alone. That's one every co

> Blue Moon HLS is considerably less complex than Starship HLS That's the one thing in your comment I disagree with. Starship-based HLS has basically one base vehicle, modified into three variants (tanker, depot, and the lander its

For how many users, and at what transaction rate? Not disagreeing that you can do a lot on a lot less than in the old days, but your story would be much more impactful with that information. :)

Been a while since I've looked at available APIs, but can't the browser handle conversions into its own local system TZ? If it's going by IP geolocation, I would call that a bug.

The choice of name comes off as shady to me; seems like a marketing hack to make it sound like it's some kind of internationally-accepted standard, like oh, X.500. Oh, and if you were wondering, yes, there is already an X.402[1] out th

Thanks for this. I had no idea this was even a thing, and it explains some discrepancies I've seen with my one subscription. They really don't make it obvious where to change it, either...

Does an embeddable XML database engine exist at a similar level of reliability?

An interesting skim, but it would have been more meaningful if it had tackled text documents or spreadsheets to show what additional functionality would be enabled with those beyond "versioning". Maybe it's just me, but I see

Absolutely! I think there are still a few unique tiles on Starship around joints and such IIRC, but either way, the number of tile types is much smaller for Starship. To my thinking, the sane sequence will be launch; catch; survey and mai

Remains to be seen. That's what they want, but it's never been done before. (edit: clarity: they do NOT want to replace them after each flight.) They're currently experimenting with things such as actively cooled tiles (wh

I use GitLab locally and push only to that. GitLab itself is configured to mirror outbound to the public side of things. In a collaborative scenario, doing it that way makes sure everything is always properly synchronized. Some individual

While that is certainly true, the idea that they can so rapidly decimate your data without the possibility to restore is still terrifying if that's your only copy of that data. They should have to hold it for at least 90 days. In my

My fear of this sort of thing happening is why I don't use github or gitlab.com for primary hosting of my source code; only mirrors. I do primary source control in house, and keep backups on top of that. It's also why nothing in

Not sure offhand how portable it is, but asprintf() handles automatic buffer allocation, thus not requiring any extra steps afaik. It does exit on MacOS and Linux, at the very least.

No problem. =)

Yeah, that is not a helpful attitude to take when it comes to this sort of thing. If nothing else, a super-long home path can crash your app and leave your user scratching their head. In other words, this is a bug (as is the fact that pat

Assuming that code is actually present in your app, env vars can hold more than 255 characters. Easy buffer overflow to trigger. Use length-bounded copies and concats... That's just off the top of my head; I've not written in C

Cloud services in general was the intended reference for the quoted words, not a specific provider.
