Admittedly I jumped straight to the comments on this one, but I have to say that I think there is a good financial, logistical incentive for following your "passion" in the modern world, because often the sort of job that you&#x27

I wouldn't want to label any generation's members in a blanket judgement (I prefer to have faith in everyone to keep the world turning). Including the "hippies" -- many of them knew what went wrong perfectly well and kne

Some personal anecdata for you: 1) Q4 2015 MBP, top of the line - kernel thread crash on suspend, causing it to wake back up. Semi-random, kinda interesting except when it woke up in my bag and seemed to almost catch on fire ... repeatedly.

Also, at the OS level, there are entire projects built around just understanding the dependencies in the Operating System and applying minimalism to try and get to a state of (relatively) simple, known dependencies. One of my favorites is R

Isnt that a lot more overhead than green threads in a single proc?

I mostly jumped to the bottom of the bug discussion thread there, but there doesn't seem to be much opposition to adding this, just comments deferring this to other releases. Are they just requesting that patch submitters do some extra

This is fascinating (to a non-crypto nerd such as myself). It would be nice to collect some code that will fail all the unit tests to study why I think as well as reading the commentary. Also if theres a way to use this to audit legacy Ja

You're welcome! I definitely think this is an internal pathing issue relative to the ISO -- and I have grappled with this same stuff before many times and gone mad several times over so I get it :) I just found a nice reference that I

[Edit 2] where you put grub/grub.cfg in the above partition layout is also up to you. It could reside on the EFI parition. Its all about how you lay it out in the host system when putting this disk together and then how you run grub-in

by drvdevd 10y ago
Ok so one immediate point that I notice here is that if you look closely at this grub configuration, you'll see that the EFI boot Kernel and initrd are not loaded from an EFI partition, but rather taken from the ISO itself: > loop

One could argue that the Java ecosystem was already pretty fragmented and weird anyway: Java Card, Java in the browser, all the many versions of the JVM on every platform, and open source JVM "forks"... right?

I actually believe the PSTN is so ingrained in international networks that it will be around for another 50 years, minimum. Think SS7 and the fact that anything that touches PSTN relies on a legacy implementation at some point (probably al

The point isn't the just the payment mechanism but the network it connects back to plus the payment mechanism. [edit] to clarify: if vendors actually accepted (something like) bitcoin at restaurants or wherever, this would cut out

also, if you can pastebin your boot/grub/grub.cfg file that'd be helpful too

by drvdevd 10y ago
Ok so what I'm reading is that: 1) you can get EFI to load grub but 2) actually loading the live system image isn't working So given those assumptions my next question is: Is the kernel and initramfs loading? If you're not

by drvdevd 10y ago
I know this doesn't answer your question directly but is there a reason you can't use a USB stick? If you can I can give pointers on how to create a live USB image. Also is there a particular OS or Linux distro you're trying

Ok, I would certainly agree then that I ought to know about that (for Python 2.x). And here's the thing: despite my rant, given that explanation, I'm going to have to say I respect that as a Python (2.x) interview question. But th

I think this is probably correct, actually. That and the mass adoption of cheap, handheld, and powerful computers with easy user interfaces and lots of short range wireless peripherals... Imagine being able to pay your bar/coffee&#x2F

Yeah I'm not in love with Java, but let's also not forget that Google has successfully extracted Java from Oracle's hands at this point, to a billion-or-so installation extent.

At a glance this just looks like a short, simple coroutine implementation/hack using C macros, whereas libdill does a lot more to extend C syntax in similar manner, but in a much more comprehensive way (I believe with the intention of

Yeah I wondered about all these points as well. I think the real danger would appear only if people in the real world started actually accepting or desiring payment in these anonymous forms in lieu of actual money...? [edit] like especially

I don't know this. And I don't care. I don't self-identify as anything near a "Python programmer" and yet I've written, modified, read, and debugged ( and put into production at times), let's say 100&#x27

Also, lets not forget that it's not just Linux (or any one kernel or OS) that's the issue but also every popular hardware architecture can be expected to be subvertable, especially x86 it would appear. And exploiting these types o

Perhaps the general availability of AGI is antithetical to the notion of information privacy in the 21st century. And not just for individuals either, but for governments as well. I can imagine that control will only be possible with very d

Hey thanks for the link. I actually did solve my own issue with the Cubietruck and managed to get KVM working, if not Xen yet. I'll get there eventually. I don't have too much of an issue with the platform except I've seen so

Personally, I walk to let my thoughts ramble. I run to run past my thoughts. In both cases it's both the journey and destination that counts, but in the case of running, it's a little bit more about the destination for me. I feel

Hey I just want to say Thanks for this AMA. I was going to mention the Insys thread here when I went back and saw your link to this. I will say I agree with you that although this company was abusing their power/privilege with Fentanyl
