C++ iirc is used mostly for microprocessor code

lol no, it's used almost everywhere where performance is important and people want(ed) OOP, from tiny projects to web browsers (Chrome, Firefox) to game engines (Unreal, CryEngine). Many of these are hugely complex and do encounter segfaults on a somewhat frequent basis.

Saying C++ is mostly used for embedded applications is like saying C# is mostly used for scripting games, i.e. it doesn't nearly cover all the use cases.

higher-level languages also exist

This depends on your definition of "higher-level", but many people would argue that C++ is on a similar level to Java or C# in terms of abstraction. The latter two do, however, have a garbage collector, which vastly simplifies memory management for the programmer(generally anyway).

Ollivander, my norwegian loaf

Gentoo is the espresso you get when your coffee-obsessed friend with >$10k worth of barista equipment asks if you'd like a coffee. It's the best damn thing you've ever tasted, but by the time your friend has finished preparing and all the settings are dialed in, it's around midnight and you should have gone home hours ago

Reading the blog post, it's a lot more nuanced than that: someone reported a CVE, which was related to a possible int overflow in client code handling the timeout between requests. NVD chose to grade this as a 9.8/10 on their severity scale (for context, CVE-2014-0160, also known as Heartbleed, got a 7.5/10), which is ludicrous for a bug which could at most change the retry timeout of your request from your intended years to a few seconds. Daniel says that this is not a security vulnerability at all and has no business being listed on the CVE database, whereas NVD argues that it's a bug, it's been reported to them and because overflows are undefined behavior, anything can happen and so it's a security vulnerability.

In the end, they agreed to at least adjust the severity down to a 3.3, but I can understand that Daniel is still somewhat miffed about it. Personally I also agree that it's not really a security issue and that even a 3.3 is too high in terms of severity.

Nö, t-online gehört seit 2015 der Werbefirma Ströer. Dem draus resultierenden eher seichten content ist vermutlich auch deine Einordnung des Portals geschuldet. Trotzdem stimme ich dir zu, der Artikel ist echt ausführlich für t-online.

Container sind keine Virtualisierung im Sinne einer VM. Viel mehr funktionieren sie (zumindest unter Linux, keine Ahnung von Windows) über Kernel-kontrollierte Ressourcenverwaltung und Abschottung vom Host und anderen Containern (konkret hauptsächlich mittels CGroups & Namespaces). Die eine Sache, die du in keinem Docker-Image finden wirst, ist ein OS-Kernel, der den Container verwaltet, denn das passiert alles nativ über den Kernel des Hosts. Also weniger Virtualisierung als Sandboxing.

Es geht also so gut wie keine Performance verloren, zumindest verglichen mit einer VM, einfach weil der rechenintensive Teil von Hypervisors wie VirtualBox/KVM+Qemu, das Emulieren von privilegierten Instruktionen, schlicht nicht nötig ist.

Ich geb dir natürlich Recht, dass man tendenziell mehr Speicher benötigt, wenn man 8 Instanzen von libffmpeg halten muss. Aber sobald einer deiner Dienste aus irgendeinem Grund nicht mit der aktuellen Version davon funktioniert, die anderen aber die neueste Version brauchen, ist Docker sehr praktisch, denn man muss sich einfach nicht mehr mit Versionskonflikten in den verwendeten Bibliotheken etc. rumschlagen, wenn jeder Container eigene kompatible Versionen mitbringt.

Notiz am Rande: Windows verwendet genauso gemeinsam genutzte Bibliotheken. DLLs sind konzeptionell nix anderes als .so Bibliotheken unter Linux. Die Bibliotheken unter C:\System32 sind ein gutes Beispiel.

Especially when the original article is about anything related to Rust. An hour after the article is live you'll have 50 posts arguing and trolling like there's nothing more important in the whole wide world. So entertaining!

Anyone expecting to use Linux the same way they are using Windows, without any changes, is going to be disappointed. You cannot reasonably expect to keep the same learned workflows from one system and use them on a completely different system without having to at least tweak some of it.

Learning is part of such switchovers, and loudly complaining that "Thing X is not working like I know it to, this is why people don't like Linux" is not making anyone more likely to help you nor is it going to solve your problem. I'm glad that you managed to find a way to do what you need in any case, and maybe that command will stick around in the back of your head for when you need something similar sometime in the future :)

Na super. Hoffentlich finden Volker und Chrissi irgendwo noch das Geld für die Weiterführung, denn für mich ist das 49€-/D-Ticket nicht nur günstiger als mein Monatsticket nur für die Stadt (!), es macht die Nutzung des ÖPNV auch sehr viel entspannter.

War eigentlich nicht sowieso angedacht, dass das Ticket erstmal zwei Jahre läuft? Können die das einfach mittendrin wieder beenden?

To be fair™ they did at least do a little bit to deal with the existing answers becoming obsolete by changing the default answer sorting. The "new" (it's already been at least a year IIRC) sorting pushes down older answers and allows newer answers to rise to the top with fewer votes. That still doesn't fix the issue that the accepted answer likely won't change as new ways of doing things become standard, but at least it's a step in the right direction.

I think rsync is short for remote sync
