The in kernel, free radeon drivers are good and supported by amd. They should work on little-endian systems, which all of the newer POWER systems are[0]. Unforunately big-endian amd/radeon support seems to have bit rotted. So if that g

They might not own the openzfs patches but they definitely own all of the zfs code. They had all contributors sign CLAs to reassign copyrights. That's how they were able to end opensolaris.

Is Garret asserting that the ZoL /source/ is a derived work of ZFS and linux and thus non-distributable? Or is he saying a binary module compiled from that source is non-distributable? If the source is redistributable then a DKMS

I use a bunch of cheap ip cameras of various brands: foscam, crenova, etc. They all have telnet backdoors, which is actually pretty convenient for me. I keep mine on a separate lan which can't connect to the internet or the other more-

The problem is that society equates being sexist with being evil or bad, the actions of sexist people as being inherently evil, and the words and opinions of sexist people as dismissable out-of-hand. So when you point out a sexist action th

That's interesting. Thanks a lot. I really don't know enough to have an opinion on this stuff. I was just trying to express my bewilderment at the opposition to the ACA which didn't seem to offer any alternatives other than g

Lots of people seemed opposed to ACA and a single-payer in the US but I never hear anyone talk about free market alternatives. What we have right now in the US is nothing like a market. Markets are supposed to provide price discovery. How c

I have no opinion on healthcare funding. I was just explaining how a lower total cost could still result in greater govt spending and taxes.
767.
by dmm 11y ago
In a single payer system the govt is the only one who pays for healthcare. That means even if healthcare spending is the same or less, the portion of healthcare paid for by the govt increases greatly, requiring higher taxes.

cmake is very nice. I used it in my last big c++ project. The cmake language is ugly but I think it's a law or something that build tools use ugly languages. One advantage of autotools is that it distributes everything as a portable sh

Setting compiler flags with autoconf should be simple: ./configure CC=gcc44 CXX=g++44 CFLAGS="-m32" CXXFLAGS="-m32" If that doesn't work something is wrong with the implementation.

As a user building packages I like autotools because of its uniformity. If I want to change the install root I use "--prefix". If I want to crosscompile I can set "--build" and "--host". If I need to set a comp
