Can someone Explain Like I’m Five why someone would design a filesystem to be deeply entangled with a specific struct in memory in a specific kernel design? I’m referring to where the article says ext4 “still makes heavy use of buffer heads

200m of the 172m loss? It paid 200m of a 3.5 year deal announced May 2020 in a single quarter? None of that adds up.

I agree it’s a weird way to minimize his role, a sort of rewriting of history, for the same political reasons he was not invited to speak (also for false reasons). It is a shame that many people who claim to support diversity and tolerance

that's amazing. and point taken that Windows is probably extra weird due to its longevity, evolution, and backward compatibility.

The fact these paths are considered at all "weird" just underlines how much we live in a Unix world. Filesystem paths used to all be weird in the sense that there was more OS diversity. I'm sure some people here remember that

As a longtime zipcar member who owns Philip & Alex’s Guide to Web Publishing, this was awesome to learn!! I hope for zipcar’s sake that Oracle was reasonable about the licensing fees…

The simplicity is what I liked about taint mode - it didn’t purport to make anything safe for any particular context, you had to do that yourself. It just tracked strings that came in from outside Perl to make sure they didn’t get sent outs

He still writes about planes! To me he doesn’t seem so much pro Trump as skeptical of certain thinking within the current left (and many Covid policies, though general opinion has shifted in his direction somewhat).

Glad to see another fan of that book here :) That book is a “definite keep” for me, although chunks are coming out of the binding. The parts that retain the most significance to me are the amount of thought and design he put into web commun

Disagree, long paragraphs are more annoying than breaking up thoughts like this. I think it's reasonable to expect a reader to continue to the next paragraph, and corrosive to start writing for poor readers (distracted, skimming, etc -

I did not say it’s overreach. I said it’s irrelevant how much notice she’s been given if you believe it’s overreach.

I do not have, and have never taken, a position on the order. You yourself have taken a stronger position in your prior comment: “I would absolutely be against mandatory medical treatment.” Does that mean you are now against this order, now

The article is clear that this is about mandatory treatment: “Sorenson ordered a civil warrant for her arrest, to be enforced on or after March 3, and again ordered her to jail to undergo involuntary testing and treatment until health off

For someone who disagrees or objects to the exercise of these powers, the amount of notice given before forcing treatment is not relevant.

The comment of mine you’re replying to is specifically about notice as it relates to the notion of government overreach - it is replying to a comment that is also about those things. (That’s about all I have opinions on here, so I render no

This doesn’t relate to what I said. The point is that for those who believe this is government overreach saying “she had plenty of notice” is a non sequitur. If you believe something is a right, giving more notice before abrogating it does

My only opinion on all this is I don’t trust any solution that does not acknowledge and address why we ended forced mental health carceral treatment in the first place. Chesterton’s Fence. There was a “crisis” that caused that practice to e

by eduction 4y ago
The facts you quote are orthogonal to the notion that this is government overreach. If it’s government overreach to order her to get medical treatment it doesn’t matter how much notice she’s been given.
