Probably because sysadmins aren't willing to push updates to their Windows machines because they tend to change system settings nowadays.

You can use the --standalone option to get just the certificate files, so you can keep your nginx config files as-is however you configured them and just update the privkey.pem and fullchain.pem files wherever your nginx config points to look for them. And the --standalone option actually requires sudo but I guess that's because it puts the certs in /etc/letsencrypt~.

Caution though, the file paths you get after obtaining the certificates are actually relative symlinks for some reason so if you just copy these symlinks over they will most likely not point to the correct path so copy the original files instead.

So how does that differ from either static linking or dynamic linking and providing the .so files combined with LD_PRELOAD startup script?

Unless you're working with legacy project, in which case you wouldn't be replacing the lib for such stuff anyway, I don't see any reason why you would want to use 2.7.x over 3.x unless you desperately need something like gevent.

I thought it was a common sense to treat the client as merely the data representation and nothing else, sad to see that multi million dollar companies make rookie mistakes.

I'm quite surprised by how much smoother VSCode is than Atom despite being built upon the same platform, I just wish it had tabs and split tab groups, then I could give it a go for a full day and decide whether I like it or not.

Even though I'm not using CloudFlare myself, I always enjoy reading their blog posts, these guys are amazing hackers.

The difference being that distro packages are distributed in a safe matter (signing and verification) whereas a website could be hijacked and the script replaced or you could get MITM'd if you access it over HTTP.

Despite his rude tone he's got a point, perhaps he'd be taken seriously had he approached it in a civil manner.

GDB and some fprintf calls cut it most of the time. The worst kind of bug is when the program segfaults into oblivion and works fine under GDB but in 99% of the cases that's related to uninitialized memory, which might be a bit hard to find but is quite simple to fix (it's the worst because it sometimes takes a while to figure out where you forgot to initialize variables when it's unrelated to a new change and happened to just not occur during previous changes).

JavaScript was a mistake.

The same reason why you pay $600 for 32 GB of RAM with Apple.
