Tar doesn't use any sort of index like zip does, so to extract the specified file the server side would need to parse through possibly the entire file just to see if the requested file is there, and then start streaming it. Requests fo

I think the observation being made was that this is at the scary intersection of consumer IoT non-security and major infrastructure.

I haven't used hg enough to have an opinion on it, despite several attempts... Problem is I learn bottom up, and I just haven't been able to "think in mercurial" the way I can "think in git". I find it interest

If you're using rebase there's the `--committer-date-is-author-date` and `--ignore-date` flags. One uses the author date for both and the other uses the commit date for both. Without using either flag rebase should update the comm

Thank you for humoring me. I had to sleep on it, but I can see it now. Seems like it would require a really bad design or more likely bad actors (remotes leaving dead sockets open), but it would definitely be possible. The same scenarios wo

Are those really the only options? I'm trying to wrap my head around how using a fixed size thread pool for I/O automatically implies deadlocks but I just can't. Unless the threads block on completion until their results are

I suspect "Western-style dates" was meant to refer to the Gregorian calendar rather than the format used to represent a date on that calendar. ISO-8601 only really applies to the Gregorian calendar.

I really liked that 2/3 of the post is a walk through the solutions using existing tools before getting to the project. I also like how it combines a "big data" format (parquet) with the main "your data isn't actual

Seconded. The only person I know who sleeps like this is also the highest functioning person I know.

I really wanted something like this when embedding serial numbers and keys in ROMs. At the time I was mostly working in C and PHP, so I was imagining something closer to a template language, but something like this would have given me a goo

One of the benefits listed in the manifesto (and often touted elsewhere) is that you are not limited to a specific region when hiring. Unfortunately, what this means for candidates is they may have to compete with a LOT more people. Another

I've been full-time remote for just shy of 5 years and timezones is definitely an issue. Up to 4 hour difference is sustainable indefinitely, 8 hours can be with the right people (doing split days is great for this), but beyond 8 hours

I asked someone when I saw them doing similar things. They adopted the style after reading Google's style guide for shell scripts. Not sure if that's where this author got it from, but it's one possible source.

You can use forward slashes for paths on Windows in your Makefile. They are actually required if you want to use wildcards.

There's something about the verbose text-only UI that just screams "written by a lawyer". The copy is not even objectively that wordy, it just feels like it started as legalese and was pared down to this instead of starting w

I like the idea behind the Super Falcon model: fixed positive buoyancy with an inverted wing design. Like a plane, but with gravity replaced by buoyancy and the Y axis inverted so the wings "lift" you down.

IANAL, but... People should be aware that Atom (the editor) uses React internally, so it's possible you face similar legal exposure without even shipping anything just because you agreed to the terms by installing an editor.

As a full-time remote person (at IBM, ironically), I personally hate using the phone - however, video/voice call via Slack or similar is totally fine. As far as I'm concerned, a decent headset is the #2 requirement after a good in

I find that knowing how it works is the only way the commands and flags make any sense. I am constantly seeing people around me fumble through git trying to get by on a handful of commands they've memorized and just live with the fact

There are a couple regressions in v4.2.0, but v4.2.1 should be out right away with fixes.
