I hope sites that just provide a way for people to assemble offline will be the new thing soon. A photography guide's site that rallies amateurs for walk tours. A planning board for a foreign language practice group. A site with a sche

It sounds like the "app written in C++ calling Lua scripts, versus app written in Lua calling C++ libraries" debate. Both designs (Lightroom, game engines) have worked successfully. There's probably nothing that prevents mixi

SECCOMP_RET_USER_NOTIF appears to switch between the tracee and tracer processes for each syscall. Using SECCOMP_RET_TRAP to trigger a SIGSYS for every syscall in IO intensive apps introduces 5% overhead (and avoids a separate tracer). I wo
