I decided I could fix my own cars when I “realized” that ‘if someone else can do it, I can do it’ as well. Turns out I had to learn a lot, but I learned it.

I don’t think I understand. Would factoring that in have significantly affected the thesis of the article?

I ended up leveraging snapshots after a few flubs. A lot of the tinkering was with the vmx file and I remember at least once doing something incorrect and bricking the VM, because I didn’t remember what had changed. I was using VMware.

There was quite a bit I had to do with generating the right set of serial number + I think two other numbers that escape me, using I believe clover. I also had to do a good bit of hand modification of the vmx file leveraging the generated n

Getting the VM up and running was a bit of work. Without getting into it much, the VM needed to be convinced it was a real machine with a real serial number, etc. took a it but I got that sorted out. I needed that working so I could create

I set up a VM and had this whole stack working about a year ago. While it was fun to get up and running, it proved to me enough of a nuisance that a few months later I bought my first iPhone. Happy to answer questions about my experience. I

While it isn’t LFS I’ve been building custom OS distros with bitbake/openembedded for a work project recently. I’d be curious if someone here has done both LFS and used bitbake/OE to see what their thoughts are comparing the two.

I find it amusing that the #19 on this is flagged dead.

If your unit is too big it actually makes things worse, because it cycles on and off a lot more which in turn means it pulls less humidity out of the air. I think the rule is you want one ton per 600sq ft that you’re cooling, give or take.

All of my merge commits say “merged x with y” and all of my branch commits say “created branch z” They are useful because it shows very clearly when a branch and merge was done. Dates and times are useful. Knowing the parent of a branch is

Not understanding when or how to use the gas or brake pedals. Toss a clutch in the mix and it’s a disaster.

Merge/branch commits can’t be useful by definition. No work was done on the branch/merge. I don’t understand your gripe.

I’m a allegedly well-educated well-over-30s person, didn’t know who either of them were.

The earth is still flat, the moon landing never happened, Darwin denied evolution. What I mean is, when a thing is said, a recant usually doesn’t matter. Even if the recant is from a subject matter expert. (Not debating truths of the above

Perhaps a good percentage of millennials moved back in with parents? Perhaps because lots of people are buying instead of continuing to rent because interest rates are so low? Massive amounts of people dying seems like quite the claim indee

I was homeschooled and I have mixed feelings about it. I turned out very well socially adjusted and I am very gainfully employed. I don’t have a specific direction for this comment but I’m happy to answer questions if people have them.

The term "social media" seems to have arrived a good time after forums did on the internet. I remember standing up websites and paying for a vBulletin license in order to add forum functionality a decade before I first heard the t

I'd be curious on your take of my code below, I have python and perl as dead even if you don't print and ignore pythons startup time.

Running a different test the slowest part of the python script is the startup time, otherwise they're identical: [admin@localhost ~]$ time ./test.py real 0m0.295s user 0m0.158s sys 0m0.138s [admin@localhost

The python code should run much faster if you don't print.. Edit: perl is still faster, to be clear
