I don’t disagree, but that is in fact how it works!

The way the automated FTS works is essentially that the USAF blasts a "DO NOT BLOW UP" signal with a very high power transmitter to the FTS. If the FTS doesn't receive that signal, it triggers and then you have a RUD.

Sometimes Elon time is spot on even if it is very optimistic. There was an interview with him in 2008 saying he thought Tesla could deliver 500,000 vehicles a year by 2020 and they basically made that even with the pandemic. My hot take was

ambient capabilities will be a whole lot nicer once more userspace stuff (like the pam caps stuff) supports them better. The idea for them comes from one of my former coworkers, Christoph Lameter, when we were having issues with an app that

Can you not do that with the Blender python api? It is a shame they had to discontinue the Blender Game Engine which absolutely would have done this.

The first link is precisely the one I was speaking of. My employer’s UK office is at 1 London Wall so it wasn’t hard to explore and fine these. Really fun stuff

In central london (London Wall is the name of the road), you can see 9-10 turrets from the original Roman city of "Londonium". I've walked this road and seen a handful of them. To be able to reach out and touch something that

FWIW, the generics proposal was accepted: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/43651 This will make a generic "slices" package much more trivial to write.

For starters, the moon has helium-3, which is incredibly rare on earth and would be very useful for nuclear fusion should we ever figure that out.

This is kind of sad actually. IKEA made one of the best Apple trolls (literally) of all time with their "book book": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOXQo7nURs0 They made it as a parody in the style of an iPhone r

mods / dang, please put 2005 in the title, or better set this post to dead as it is borderline trolling without 2005 in the title.

It is actually against copyright law, and redhat legal would take any allegations very seriously. What in specific do you think is copy and pasted code?

Well thanks for your input, and I stand corrected. I liked Solomon and he always seemed like a super nice guy when I met him, but it did seem that there was a bit of a crisis when Docker Inc realized, "Oh shit, we have to make money fo

Sorry the way I replied came off as defensive when it wasn’t meant to be. Your approach is to assume the best and that is always a good one.

Docker and Redhat were both founding members of OCI. CoreOS probably was responsible for a lot of the initial conversations. They wanted a standardized container runtime after finding some limitations in docker which caused them to create r

runc and containerd wouldn't exist if Redhat hadn't created the OCI specification and work around docker to make things interoperable. Docker, Inc was not playing ball and then redhat had to work around them. It wasn't a grud

This I entirely agree with you on but I’d expect it due to the resources available at the time were more fluent with C than rust. A shame really.

Grudge? You mean when Jessie Frazelle walked around dockercon with a badge saying, “I will not merge patches for systemd” just out of principal? In hindsight it is fairly obvious picking a fight at redhat summit was a very poor long term st

This is C, not C++. Modern C++ is kind of a mess with how much stuff they’ve added to the language. This is not relevant.

Indeed. Pretending it isn’t is equally silly.

“Any of the systems you’ve worked with” I suspect it has been a bottleneck in some of the systems redhat has worked with, or they would have no benefit in writing it. As the authors of openshift I’m sure they’ve seen some pretty crazy use c

It is almost 50% faster for launching containers. That’s considerable, and at scale could be an actual cost savings. If nothing else, efficiency is good. Also, small c projects can be written properly with discipline. This is a very talente
