What is it that Go supposedly calls casting? The term (or its variations) does not show up in the language specification. People sometimes use it for type conversions but that's in line with usage elsewhere, no?

For example, debug/pe ImportedLibraries(), which is supposed to return all the libraries that a module imports, was stubbed out to return "nil, nil" in a minor release [1] I just looked at the Git history and this is plain

No longer true. Podman nowadays ships with an optional daemon that serves a Docker-compatible interface, so you can use docker-compose directly if that's what you want. See for example: https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin&#

I don't like it either but it's not as bad as it sounds: the ban almost certainly isn't enforced mindlessly and with no recourse for the affected. I'm pretty sure that if someone from the University of Minnesota would li

Getting a hold of someone's secrets is not possible just by doing a pull request. It's really only about resource usage, at least when the runners in question provide sufficient isolation (true at least for the Github-hosted ones,

I don't think this is doing any HTTP. Autofs is generally used to mount remote file systems like NFS shares. It's pretty common on Unix-like systems (especially in multi-user environments) and not at all specific to macOS. Referen

It basically expects a string as the source and a fixed-size, not necessarily zero-terminated, buffer as the destination.

Seems reasonable to me: this way, you don't have to duplicate the BOM stripping in the decoders of every single format you want to support. It's also more general as there are other commonly-needed transformations that have an eve

No. QUIC is a transport protocol. Its purpose is roughly equivalent to TCP: provide a reliable byte stream transport over an unreliable datagram service (IP, though QUIC prepends a small UDP header mostly for compatibility with existing inf

Even for moderately complex designs the synthesis times are way too long for that to be feasible. Unfortunately, a lot of it is inherent to the problems/algorithms involved. So getting rid of the clumsiness of proprietary synthesis too

I find it somewhat odd that Peter ascribes the valuing of stability and backwards compat to some weird Google-specific mindset, unheard of in other circles. Instead, you can observe the same thing with many other ecosystems/platforms o

I'd be more optimistic if you had included a note that you know the history of CAcert ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAcert.org ) and have a plan on how to tackle the issues that prevented its roots from getting in

ANSI C heavily mixed up the conversion rules for expressions involving both, signed and unsigned, integer types (value-preserving vs. unsigned-preserving in K&R C). This might have been a factor here, given that most of Gosling's p
