The point of disabling overcommit, as per the article, is that all pages in virtual memory must be backed by physical memory at all times. Therefore all virtual memory must reserve physical memory at the time of the fork call, even if the c

The author frames his post to be about education: please correct them for me. The misinformation has been around for 20 years But his education will fail as soon as you're operating on more than scalars. It might in fact do mo

So, if you ever see somebody proposing this float a = mix( b, c, step( y, x ) ); The author seems unaware of float a = mix( b, c, y > x ); which encodes the desired behavior and also works for vectors: The v

The problem with asciidoc is that it doesn't support nesting. Markdown allows you to nest constructs as much as you want using syntax that are easy to use for both humans and documentation-generating applications. The asciidoc develope

0.2 and 0.4 are different "major releases" of rust crates as you say. The major release is determined by the first non-0 component in the version number. The issue is that debian appears to only allow one version even if there are

If control flow statements don't require parentheses to be parseable, doesn't that mean that it is the parentheses that are completely unnecessary?

Provenance might be used as justification now but the actual rules are simpler and stricter. After freeing (or reallocing) a pointer, the application must not inspect the pointer value anymore. Even `new_pointer == old_pointer` is not allow
