Yep, that's what I had in mind when I said most computers are running Linux. These days, I have a feeling apple outnumbers android when it comes to personal devices like phones, but when you add in all the servers and dedicated devices

I just searched for "hacker news" on both kagi and google. Google took about 1 second and kagi took 2-3 seconds. Given kagi doesn't have google's resources, I think it's reasonable. I speculate it could slow down a

The majority of computers in the world run Linux. This article is pitched at people who hang around in the mezzanine between big and small computers and are still living in 2006 when desktop experiences were dominant.

I've been thinking about aphantasia a lot, because I regularly GM (game master) tabletop roleplaying games. I often tell players at my table to start with a mental image and then I'll help them use the rules to construct whatever

It may depend on definitions. Where I work, we classify users' emails as "personal" information, and we would consider it a breach if all the emails were leaked.

I think it's more like: when we're young, our unique personalities sieze onto particular strategies that work for us. Later, two things happen: we thoroughly master our default strategy and get bored with using it for everything (

I feel like I have approached life from the opposite direction of the author. I walked to the beat of my own drum and didn't care too much for opinions about how I was weird. I was making things better, and if other people weren't

Of course, I wasn't claiming that openstack is doing anything wrong. As someone who uses openstack every day and has contributed (a little) code upstream, it is all straightforward enough for me. One of the reasons we use gerrit in-hou

From what I've seen, it's more like "what patterns you should follow if you want to do a lot of collaboration with openstack upstream." OpenStack uses opendev, so anyone who wants to contribute upstream to openstack will

Hmm, I'm wondering how "complex" is defined here. Some abstract topics seem complex until you drill down and see how they are defined (in which case they become trival), and some topics or experiences seem obvious until we dr

I can see that the reason this was posted on Hacker News is that the title says $30M but the lede says "Airbnb has been fined $15 million". It's a self-reference about how the title was written in $AU but the content is in $U

I'm intrigued by the idea, but I think this only replaces sudo, and set[ug]id is related but not identical? What I am thinking of is that set[ug]id should already be superseded by capabilities(7). Now, I know CAP_SYS_ADMIN gets flak fo

I don't think that's the opposite of what I said. It's more like an extrapolation. But if I came right out to the person who I was replying to and said there is no such thing as eastern or western thought, everyone would have

To regard Western and non-Western thought as distinct is to again indulge the fallacy of determined forms and non-fluidity. Going back at least to the time of Alexander the Great before 300BC, there were was constant cross-polination of ide

What would be the reason they used fanotify instead of inotify? I used inotify before and didn't require special permissions. I want to suppose that inotify supports the klunok use case, but maybe I've overlooked something. Also,

Thanks for your considered response :) I went a bit hyperbolic there, I appreciate that you answered calmly instead of biting. I can't speak to Redhat LTS, but I believe they care about security and I've never heard of a compromiz
