I don't think it progresses the conversation to refer to cogs in the wheel as sociopaths, as if they, as individuals, have any ability to alter the behavior of the company they work for. What is the most compelling argument that indivi

It's a really good point. Maybe we're allowing perfect to be the enemy of good. Where are the worst problems? The edge cases we want to fix? What are humans bad at that autonomous systems are better at? Probably top on that list i

The kernel OOM killer is only concerned about kernel survival. It isn't designed to care about user perception of system responsiveness. That's what resource control via cgroups is about. Fedora desktop folks (both GNOME and KDE)

Can a TPM be shared by two operating systems? As in, dual boot configurations? Is any sort of deconfliction required and does the relevant spec account for this?

True but this is complicated for users to do themselves.. And also complicated for distributions to create, sign, and distribute a "universal" or no-host-only initramfs that will boot any supported configuration. Plus that univers

A keylogger in the initramfs seems like a pretty obvious weakness to try and exploit. From there the attacker eventually gets the password manager master password, as well as any disk encryption passwords. We could soon get to signed grub b

U.S. foreign policy stated from the outset in 2001 that we would follow terrorists where ever they are, no matter the country. Hunt them down and kill them. That's what we said about terrorists generally and Taliban specifically. We de

The comment is not advocacy. Had all Taliban been murdered, there would be no Taliban problem today. Instead the dispute would be between the drug lords and the rest of the civilian population.
