One thing that worries me is, that by attempting to prevent and/or reverse one set of conditions, other issues may pop up because of adding/removing/changing something we don't understand the full functionality of and ho

Uh... Microsoft can't really win against Google with tactics like this. Google is the one creating a web essentially bound to whatever Chrome does, supports, or doesn't support.

As long as we can still clone and pull anonymously, I'll be half-happy, at least. :)

Intel's 10nm was a flop. With 7nm, Intel seems to have taken a more sane approach, but their 10nm failures and setbacks costed them a lot.

by Valmar 8y ago
On paper, yes. In practice, TSMC's 7nm node is actually functional, and producing working chips. Intel's 10nm... well, is garbage, because they were overconfident. Now Intel has to either rework their 10nm node, after wasting many

Excellent reply. Intel has created a situation for themselves where they seem to have forgotten how to care about the purpose of innovation.

Probably because Charlie doesn't like Intel due to conflicts happening between them. Therefore, that make Charlie a bad guy, because he doesn't mindlessly spout praises in blind favour of Intel. However, that doesn't mean tha

[2] was resolved quickly. A much revised version has landed recently. [1] is a strange bug, because the devs have consistently been unable to reproduce it, despite constantly looking over the issue. Users of ZFS have hit problems, also, sug

Yes. Also: The agriculture industry is a major reason why pesticides, herbicides, destructive monocrops cultures and such, are done. They are responsible for the destruction of the Amazon by planting soyabean monocultures, because of the ri

Useless advice. I could offer something just as useless: "don't eat plants". Meat and plants can both be infected with bacteria. And both require freezing and refrigeration to avoid spoiling.

Indeed. BCacheFS's development is slow, but that's because stability is the ultimate goal. Don't rush to make everything work, but gradually crank out stable code that's actually reliable. Kent almost single-handedly dev

BtrFS is ahead, sure, but the code is nasty garbage. I encountered enough permanent BtrFS file system corruptions when the power would suddenly go out after a storm... which I thought should have been impossible with copy-on-write file syst

It is logically reasonable. To put it another way ~ he lived in an area that was approximately 50% Jewish white people, and 50% non-Jewish white people.

by Valmar 8y ago
"Jewish" is a religion. "White" is a skin colour, otherwise categorized as "race", which technically doesn't really exist anyways. All that really exists is a diverse range of genetic differences, however,

systemd isn't trying to rule everything. There are areas where it just doesn't work, such as in the embedded space.

Why were you forced to reinstall? Was it due to bcachefs in some way? Is there anything you felt was still missing back when you were using it?

That's because they've been brainwashed into blindly accepting mass surveillance being supposedly necessary, due to terrorism, crime, etc. Problem with the reasoning is that surveillance doesn't really stop terrorism and crim

Both just work so well together. :) Also, salt in meat and vege stews ~ if you have nothing else in terms of flavour, salt makes it infinitely more appetizing.

I've discovered that megadoses of Vitamin C have worked for me. It was too late to go the doctor, and I only had Vitamin C (as Sodium Ascorbate powder) on hand, so I chugged that down, up to maybe 5 grams every half-hour in orange jui

Then you've not heard from any real alternative medical practitioners, then! A naturopath who focuses on diet and nutrition will not push this kind of stuff on you! They've known about the gut-brain connection for years, now.
