I agree that systemd gets way more hate than it deserves, but it has continual problems on Arch Linux. Wherever you try to shutdown without logging out first, systemd says ”a stop job is running for user manager...", then waits 90 seco

It is easy to prove for finite sets (just count) but much harder for infinite ones. For example, which has more subsets, the integers or the positive integers? How about the integers and the reals? If you answered "the integers" t

This product has been in the making for ~3 years. Luke from Linus Tech Tips used to be a video host, but has been in relatively few videos in the past 3 years because he was working on this. That's not to say those years were spent pro

You know you're wrong when you put scare quotes around "tracking", and instead choose to call it "anonymous audience recognition". Anonymous audience recognition ranks amoung the most useless, actively misleading ja

Maybe it means a non-reserved IP? 127.0.0.1, is often used as localhost for example, but all of 127.0.0.0–127.255.255.255 is reserved. There are several reserved blocks like this. If you include reserved addresses, every 32 bit pattern is a

I watched an interview in which Zach said that he gave infiniminer away for free because he didn't think anyone would want to pay for such a game. Ironically Minecraft is the video game that has sold the most copies.

This looks really cool. I worry that apple will push a system update that breaks AltStore in some way - it seems fragile. That said, I think iOS sorely needs competition in app stores. There are open source apps that aren't available t

Stopping by to say that I couldn't find the video without JavaScript, so I closed the tab. I get that you want to paywall later videos in this series, but for feedback purposes, it would probably be better to link a(n unlisted) YouTube

I like Rust, but [this]( https://drewdevault.com/2019/03/25/Rust-is-not-a-good-C-repl... ) blog post treats the topic of C replacement well. Rust is a C++ replacement.

This is good news. I had assumed that raspbian was 64 bit by now. It seems weird, since the Raspberry Pi v2.1 (second revision of Raspberry pi 2) launched with a 64-bit processor. I can't find a date for that launch, but the pi 3 launc

I use Arch Linux, whose motto could be "living on the bleeding edge" (maybe combined with "annoying install process"). This even with the included package manager. But with Debian derivatives, you can add Debian testing

Can't help but call out Rust here for it's (imo excellent) syntax. if condition {do_x()} else {do_y()} Basically there's no need for line breaks between if/else, but also they decided not to add a ternary conditional ope
