Quoting from lwn.net The “proportional set size” (PSS) of a process is the count of pages it has in memory, where each page is divided by the number of processes sharing it. So if a process has 1000 pages all to itself, and 1000 shared with one other process, its PSS will be 1500 From … Read more
It’s a convention so the *nix shell knows what kind of interpreter to run. For example, older flavors of ATT defaulted to sh (the Bourne shell), while older versions of BSD defaulted to csh (the C shell). Even today (where most systems run bash, the “Bourne Again Shell”), scripts can be in bash, python, perl, … Read more
You have a certificate which is self-signed, so it’s non-trusted by default, that’s why OpenSSL complains. This warning is actually a good thing, because this scenario might also rise due to a man-in-the-middle attack. To solve this, you’ll need to install it as a trusted server. If it’s signed by a non-trusted CA, you’ll have … Read more
The first parameter represents the regular expression to search for, while the second one represents the directory that should be searched. In this case, . means the current directory. Note: This works for GNU grep, and on some platforms like Solaris you must specifically use GNU grep as opposed to legacy implementation. For Solaris this … Read more
Note: For MySQL 5.7+, please see the answer from Lahiru to this question. That contains more current information. For MySQL < 5.7: The default root password is blank (i.e., an empty string), not root. So you can just log in as: You should obviously change your root password after installation: In most cases you should … Read more

uint16_t is unsigned 16-bit integer. unsigned short int is unsigned short integer, but the size is implementation dependent. The standard only says it’s at least 16-bit (i.e, minimum value of UINT_MAX is 65535). In practice, it usually is 16-bit, but you can’t take that as guaranteed. Note: If you want a portable unsigned 16-bit integer, … Read more
I picked up the following demo off the web from https://computing.llnl.gov/tutorials/pthreads/ But when I compile it on my machine (running Ubuntu Linux 9.04) I get the following error: This doesn’t make any sense to me, because the header includes pthread.h, which should have the pthread_create function. Any ideas what’s going wrong?
