First situation that comes to mind is in a conversation where the coworker has raised the subject in conversation: "I've been working out a lot the last few months. I managed to lose a lot of weight and I think I look good."

I think the exact wording and context is important here. "Hey Googlette, you look really good in a bathing suit" is a comment about how the woman's body looks in a revealing outfit. I'd say this is generally unprofession

VPS are not dedicated servers. A dedicated server is a physical hunk of metal for your sole use. You get the entire machine, not a slice of one. A VPS is a regular virtual machine in KVM or Xen or something like that. OVH's SoYouStart

This depends a lot on the creator. I support 22 creators and there are 3 that I really interact with at all and that's only because my rewards require it (they're artists and I get commissioned works). Some of them promise a month

I disagree. There are shared services that Patreon provides that would be a pain for creators: - Payment processing: Patreon consolidates all payments under one gateway account so fees are low for everyone. - Support: What happens if the pa

1. For me it's kinda subjective. Some creators I support just because I like their stuff and want more of it. I usually think about this in terms of the impact my contribution will have on the creator and how much I'll end up enjo

Hasn't the NVIDIA kernel module been closed source essentially forever?

by Veratyr 9y ago
That module is actually already in Linux in the form of dm-integrity: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/... I'm using it with mdadm right now and it works pretty okay.

by Veratyr 9y ago
dm-integrity will only operate on a single disk so no, not on its own. It does however return an error if the integrity check fails, so if you put mdadm on top, mdadm can repair the erroneous block. I've tested this and am currently ru

Upon further reading, it seems this is largely due to the fact that previous implementations of communist society have included an authoritarian government. I'm mainly reading the Wikipedia pages but it seems that communism in theory i

Perhaps a naïve question but I mean it honestly: What relevance does communism have here? Is "communist" just being used as a synonym for corrupt or is there another meaning? I'm not American so I suspect I don't associa
