At no time prior to the illegal invasion of Ukraine in 2014 did Russian speaking regions in Ukraine express any interesting in becoming part of Ukraine. Russia paid mercenaries to infiltrate Ukrainian regions and make it look like there was

Putin is expected to formally annex four Ukrainian regions, following sham elections. From the outset Russia's war of aggression sets it outside its obligations under the UN Charter, the Budapest memorandum, and Geneva Convention. But

It depends on the workload. Copy-up is more expensive than snapshots. If it's ext4+overlayfs, then copy-up is really expensive (full file copy), whereas if it's btrfs or XFS then it's reflink copies. Much more efficient. But

IO wait is counted against load by linux. So high IO pressure, i.e. found in `/proc/pressure` will cause high load. When considering reclaim (dropped file pages which then need IO to read the page on demand again) it makes sense b

No. Just go attend a school board meeting, and even run for school board. If you think only half your local citizens are kooks, consider yourself lucky. When standards are left up to them you get things the Lost Cause myth taught in school

The industry could have used UDF. Derived from ISO 9660, but it supports read-write random access storage. I'm guessing they didn't if FAT12/16/32->exFAT driver changes are comparatively simple, and/or results in

These are sovereign countries who can join NATO whenever they desire so. Russia has no say, except to start an illegal aggressive war, which per a Soviet jurist at the Nuremberg trials argued is the supreme international crime. Russia is a

Yes, before Germany invaded Poland, and Germany and Russia were allies, it seemed like nothing could stop Hitler's totalitarianism. And then Germany invaded Poland, Britain entered the war honoring its agreements, Churchill told France

Nixon had the good sense to resign, and then stay out of the public spotlight. Trump is today demanding he be reinstated as president, immediately, as the winner of the 2020 election. And Lindsey Graham and Trump this weekend are engaged

I read most all the comments, laughing out loud how this is a 180, having the luxury of having also been reading HN for 8+ years. All the naysayers, are vindicated! Many critics said this model was predatory, and anti-competitive, bad for t

They know the truth. It can be competent if the citizenry good it accountable to being competent. The myth is that the disinterested citizen isn't responsible, and it's socially acceptable to shift the blame away from themselves.

Does it pass "the mom test"? The people who need this kind of protection aren't as much HNers, but the friends and family of HNers.

Trump knowingly and willfully engaged in an attempt to defraud and deprive the American public from a free and fair election. He knew he lost the election. He supported the fake alternative Electors scheme, knew it was illegal. He supported

Being above the law is less like discretion, and more like a pardon. If you know something is prosecutable, but you decide not to on the basis of the person (being more important than accountability), you're pardoning.

I've given up. HN considers any serious discussion of politics anti-intellectual to the degree HN avoids intelligent discussion about politics. It's so risk averse it's become 180 degrees from, and thus manages to be even wor
