c) and d) don't make much sense Bandwidth might be cheaper in absolute terms, but you're not paying less per user than if you scaled higher. How do you go from there to "the business model is to not scale up"

Sure you can dive into that rabbit hole and fine tune your kernel, but then you're on the hook for security patches when you could've just enabled livepatch on Ubuntu Server and been done with it.

> If your unable to compile your own kernel, you don't pass in my books, it's a rite of passage. Pulling the PKGBUILD (or similar for other distros) and throwing in a couple of patches before `makepkg`-ing it is the easy part.

RE: The users had a different mental model The problem seem to be that the interface wasn't clear about whether it would save implicitly or explicitly. Which makes me think leaky abstractions aren't so bad as long as they don&#x27

Is there any research to suggest that's a real thing? It certainly does not sound like something that should be possible when you put it this way.

What you're saying goes hard in the exact opposite direction of ego depletion. Which, while despite being a bit controversial, is still a thing research has shown to exists under some circumstances. Essentially ego depletion says you o

I didn't mean to suggest smokers trying to quit only think about how bad it is once their cig is lit. I don't understand your suggestion; that one can be more self-aware than noticing one doing something.

I think there's slight a difference there. Compare these two: You: I’ve been trained to obey bedtime Proposed: I'm a person that obeys bedtime What I'm getting at here is that while you seem to think you _should do_ it, you d

Somehow you've made a step in the exact opposite direction of what seems to be encouraged here. Does it still work out for you?

> When done properly this is supposed to have a 100% success rate. Sounds a lot like the No True Scotsman fallacy. I'm sure most smokers trying to quit think about how bad it is every single time, yet they can't. How would one

I've been running Arch continuously without a single complete reinstall for a decade now. I don't think it's fair to claim I wouldn't know how to maintain my systems correctly.

This choice literally only affects contributors and packagers for distros. If you even notice it at all as a user, it should only be through a very slight reduction in crashes.

> It's my responsibility to ensure the service is operating correctly Really, it's only on you to fix it if it does not work, which in my experience is far less likely with systemd.

If you quoted the whole thing it would be more apparent: > [...] they tend to be flagged to death by users regardless. Unfortunately. What the author finds unfortunate is the flagging by users, not the moderator action.

Humans can also more reliably use a calculator (which is basically what python is) for big numbers than doing it in their heads. I think it makes sense. This reminds me, I've had an alias for calc='python -ic "from math impor
