And I'm saying you can't have fast rescans in all cases - it very much depends on the filesystem and directory structure. I'm not trying to downplay nnn - I meant it when I said it's a cool project! I'm saying each

I appreciate your work, but you're not being very honest with your claims. nnn is not keeping information about 400K files in memory in that benchmark. As a result, the rescan is necessary when changing directory. The rescan may be f

This looks incredibly cool, I love the speed and minimalism. It doesn't seem as configurable and feature-packed as vifm[1], so I'll probably stick with that, but it certainly fills a good niche. > nnn vs. ncdu memory usage in d

There was a similar talk[1] at FOSDEM, where the speaker describes how, as an experiment, he replaces a full ELK stack plus other monitoring tools with PostgreSQL. He even goes as far as implementing a minimal logstash equivalent (i.e. log

I'm surprised that even the fastest implementation needs 20+ms to search a 1000-element array. I would expect even a linear search to finish within 1 or 2ms with such a small data set. How large are the array elements? How were the tim

Note that quvi support has been removed on mpv git recently. They seem to be considering a switch to youtube-dl instead. https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/commit/9b45b48c466765b6491...

Hmm? The stack buffer in yxml will never cause parsing to block, and there's no added dependencies on... anything? I don't think that buffer causes any problems even on a size-restricted microcontroller that doesn't have mall

It's new, yes. I wrote it about two months ago because I needed a parser and found the existing solutions too bloated. > It doesn't allocate or buffer, so when it says that it verifies proper nesting, I assume that doesn't

Agree with the article; Linda is great, both the name and the project. It was one of the more interesting topics of a Distributed Systems course that I followed, but I never ended up using it (or its concepts) in practice due to the perform

Start with the Autotools Mythbuster: http://www.flameeyes.eu/autotools-mythbuster/ The autoconf & automake documentation is generally quite good as well.

by yorhel 14y ago
Please do use autotools! You only need two files: configure.ac and Makefile.am, both at the top-level of your project. The autogenerated stuff can be ignored, you don't have to learn M4 to use autoconf. And (if you are a bit careful, but

Odd-sounding request: Is it possible to have an option to not use gpg, or any encryption, at all? I only store my passwords on a LUKS loopback file, which I mount/umount as I need to access some information on it. The double-encryption does

Minor downside: You have to ensure that the contents of a {code ..} block have all their open-brackets matched with close-brackets. This can be quite tricky with larger code examples. The bbcode [/code] equivalent is slightly less problemat

On a related note: Be wary of the dlclose() function, it may not necessarily free any resources[1] and not every libc implements it correctly[2]. 1. http://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2012/08/20/1 2. http://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/20

If the /robots.txt does not mention a Crawl-delay, one page per 3 seconds is often a safe value. Of course this rather heavily depends on the site. In any case, if you have any specific need, always contact the people responsible for the si

Oops, just actually tried to compile from git and it just worked. I was under the impression that the qt-psql library wasn't included by default, so I went looking for a package and only found something outdated on AUR[1]. At which point I

Just tried to compile from git, but the qt-psql requirement wasn't very easy to satisfy on Arch. Your Ubuntu binary worked fine. Looks quite nice, and there certainly is a need for more PostgreSQL GUIs. Some feedback from the minute I used

Somewhat related question: It's fairly common for sites to have static files (images/css) served on a different (sub)domain. What are you supposed to do when the html content is being served on HTTPS? Should the static files be on HTTPS as

I've had very positive experiences with statically linking against musl[1], As long as your code and the required libraries don't use dlopen() tricks (e.g. as glib GIO does), you can quite reliably create a single statically linked binary f

Just nitpicking: DC++ is one implementation. The network is usually referred to as "direct connect". DC++ wasn't even the first DC client, it just happened to be the most popular one at the time the network itself was still quite popular.
