I still have a 4th gen iPod Nano, that despite some heavy use in the past still works and plays music perfectly well. I remember it fondly, it was a very well designed piece of hardware. Light, easy controls that could be used without looki

I think that having an architecture matching your organization is not that much of a bad idea. If the organization consists of multiple independent teams with different managers, deadlines and priorities, what would be easier? An architectu

It is a special case because there's nothing underneath the kernel. Different pieces of the kernel usually cannot interact through anything that isn't the single binary, there aren't more levels of abstraction. But office too

I think the Linux kernel is a special case. For starters, due to the nature of the kernel itself, a lot of components are very intertwined. You'll be hard pressed to find one area of the kernel core in which you can work without at lea

Even DAI is kind of shady, if I understand correctly. The main mechanism they use to regulate demand and try to ensure the 1:1 exchange is the Dai Savings Rate, which is interest you earn by locking Dai into the savings smart contract. But

Most of the tools you mentioned appeared precisely because the basics with Python don't work that well. I had a project that started similarly, and in the end I had to use to pip-tools to actually separate top-level requirements and lo

That's going to require quite a lot of changes, it's a giant breaking change. All classes would need someone to go around finding all the attributes that are created and adding an __slots__ dictionary, to avoid regular attribute i

I've had quite some problems setting up DPDK and other device drivers inside of containers. It looks like it should be easy, yes, but then reality hits you in the face.

Calling for secession is not directly a criminal offense. The charges were sedition and misuse of public funds. The latter is fairly clear, the former is a more gray area (in Spain, sedition is a public tumultuous rising to stop laws from a

Supporting independence is not illegal in Spain.

Not everyone, but a majority. Going to vote was strongly correlated with being for independence: it was clear the referendum wasn't legally binding and wasn't approved by the Spanish government. People who didn't want indepen

This is completely wrong, sorry. The 1936-1939 Spanish civil war was a coup from the right-wing against the left-wing government. Of course, Catalan autonomy was an issue there too and one of the motivations for the coup, it but was nowhere

Certificate management is more difficult than simply holding an ID card, going to a website/downloading a program is more difficult (and has more potential problems) than going to a polling station, and doing all the steps the program

Tell that to the people who now, instead of just going to a polling place and placing a paper on an envelope, have to download and store digital certificates, possibly download and install new programs and deal with the troubles of all that

I don't know how vote counting is done in other places, but I've seen it in my country and it's not vulnerable to basic sleight of hand, at least not for more than one or two votes. Poll workers are all citizens randomly sele

by gjulianm 5y ago
Paper voting is provable too. Vote and then observe the counting which is usually public. You can take a look at the box to ensure that it hasn't been tampered with.

At my organization it's always been true. Setting up GitLab is fairly easy, in my company we do it and it's cheap (on-prem hosting is basically zero, and we had the IPs/domains already) and it hasn't given us too many he

TUIs definitely have their place. For starters, a lot of terminal applications really don't need anything from a GUI. And GUIs carry some weight that will not be shed: - The required libraries you need to install for them. A docker ima

I don't find the humor in diminishing a non-trivial mental health issue and making fun of the people suffering from it, and I don't think I'm alone in that.

Honestly, I don't think you understand what imposter syndrome is. It is an inability to properly assess one's competence. These people do not think they are "merely average", they think they are the bottom of the barrel,

It's pretty obvious by looking at that code that it's something weird going on. I don't think anyone would look at it and say "it's ok".

I have been coding some time in C (and some of that doing kernel drivers), and I don't think I've ever found "unhelpfully unpredictable" behavior in regular code. The "coding standard" that gets rid of those is
