There's just no reason for any animal to evolve the necessary "self-control" to not eat available food. This situation - abundance of food - almost never comes up "in nature" and when it comes up, it's a good o

It's of course a complete inversion of how 'efficient' is used in other contexts. Obese people are much more efficient in how they use the consumed calories and it's only our "obsession" with being slim that ma

> Instead, it merely kind of works as init, sometimes with random errors and disrespecting the keyboard input when things go wrong. I have never experienced that kind of errors you describe and I use Linux+GNU on my private workstations

Even an electric train that is being provided with electricity has a better footprint than a train with diesel engines. But yes; unfortunately the Germans keep shutting down their nuclear reactors. There's a lot of education that needs

Good. Hopefully that will create some incentives to switch to electrical systems and invest in renewables.

Portable services are a systemd thing: https://systemd.io/PORTABLE_SERVICES/ In short it allows you to bundle your application in one file and have it run in a sandbox. Like a docker container, but without docker, mana

systemd ist not an init system and it never was intended to be "just" an init system; from the very start was conceived a system services management layer. https://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html

I guess that's why it should have started some 60 years ago.

Rubbish. Linux+GNU is either a Unix operating system or it is not. Having systemd on board changes exactly nothing, since there never was a system services interface anyway. Files in a directory you say? That's not an interface, it&#x2

I concur with siblings suggestion of systemd timers. Works like a charm. Has jittering and nice tui.

Absolutely. I've started managing my user services using systemd --user and portable services and it's just amazing how well the individual components work together to create fully isolated, containerized, per-user services. I&#x2

At this point I've basically given up hope and come to the grudging admission that ecosystem destruction through predatory exploitation is probably the Hard Filter behind the Fermi paradox. Any species evolving in an environment define

How is the US - as a society - okay with companies like Amazon abusing their employees, deny them union representation while paying them a starvation wage? These companies abuse the total breakdown of the US's social security network;

I've had great experiences with systemd user units and "linger" enabled users. I use "portable services" for isolation. see https://systemd.io/PORTABLE_SERVICES/

I disagree. The problem is the tendency of companies to make use of free/open source software, to build on its functionality and to not contribute back. If that was the case - if every company returned some of the profits they make by

It is, by quite a bit. While the "Scala IDE" project is dead for all practical purposes, IntelliJ IDEA's Scala plugin is actually pretty amazing. There's also a VisualStudio plugin that does pretty much the same and is a

That's funny, because this is what I really like about Scala; how quick and easy it is to get a project started. > sbt new scala/scala3.g8 will just create an empty project. If you don't even want to bother with a project,

Big agreement here. Scala2 was a wonderful language, Scala 3 even more so; lots of corner cases have been removed and I even start to like the significant-whitespace-style. ZIO and Typesafe (although I agree with the article; I could do wit

"Intuitive" is just a code word for "familiar". The only intuitive interface is the nipple. And even grasping that interface can be a difficult task for a baby. (After reading that, I have to append; no pun intended.)
