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 Google's keynotes. They should really put more effort

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 netem`, it can inject pack

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 RocksDB under the hood, in a slightly different way and with diff

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 (and still is) truly horrible, but I don't see that

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 stocks in your watch-list by market value or P

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

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 (e.g. enabling DNS prefetching)

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 back to Chrome. My main complaint about fresh Firefox install

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 (written in Rust).

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 but Pythonic - reimplementing a lot of things from the standa

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 brainer for me, and the fact I don't have to dea

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 always want to use QPS. QPM is simply not fined-grained enou

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 number of characters/tokens equals the number it

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

Correct, if you try to open http://<hostname>:9090/ it will get automatically started. I'm not concerned about the resources it uses, I just don't like having services that I don't use installed and lis

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 disable cocpit.socket`, but if you select "minimal/

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 the cache while they actually didn't.

OSS (as the name suggests) is about *openness", and that's exactly the point where Slack is falling short and what the article is about.
