haha the estranged faces I get when I fire up nano on a remote server. For crying out loud people... I'm going to comment a single line; stop vanitizing your hotfix routine by enforcing some self-made requirement of only using one sin

It really is becoming the path of least resistance. I'm totally not in love with the language itself, though the whole ecosystem -- runtime platform/performance, community, simple multi-arch compilation -- is awesome!

Whenever I look at zfs I become confused how that all works. Predicting performance is incredibly difficult. The rebuild times horrendous. That's coming from someone who has been using Ceph for a couple of years now. I know it's a

Crappy apis is not beholden to java. Have you looked at go's timer API? Try to re-use one without inadvertently causing a data race, or get wrong behaviour.

All the arguments made can be made in the context of the internet as well. It is acknowledged at some places, but is then shoved aside with hand wavery counter arguments. I also don't understand the jab at gcp for honoring DMCA. You&#x

Yep, no cure against people who just lie. In european countries, which i'm in, it's so hard to kick someone who is obviously doing something completely else during work hours, but has a indefinite contract. Worked with a younger m

My Kodi box, which runs on a cheap 2011 entry level nuc. Kodi has supported emulators really nicely for a while. Definitely has some quirks which are inherent to emulators, but switching from watching series and live tv, to your favorite ga

After 15y of Linux I have pretty good understanding of the kernel subsystems. If I hit an issue I have pretty good first hunch on where to look. But the graphical stack, it's just so opaque. DRM, mesa, X and all its extensions and user

The only advise I can give is, if you go the autodidact route, learn the stuff that you don't like as well. Look up an official curriculum and pick at random. I've been to uni, and I think the major contribution it brings is forci

This is basically how I teach my 3-year old to learn stuff.

I so hated that stuff when it was a requisite in uni. Happen to open the book just 2 days ago after almost 10y , what a coincidence. Now I love this stuff, it's truly timeless.

That's what happened it took decades.

Reminds me of being a msc student. We got a "lab" environment which was just a couple of tables, the lab part was bringing your own laptop, because computer science. PhD candidates came in on hot summer days being pretty jealous,

Geez all the negative comments. I still love firefox. Weird priorities sometimes, sure. Other than that, give me a browser not backed by evil corp with good developer functionality. I will no longer be a silent majority when it comes to th

emphasis on "easy concurrency", yet hardly simple. What C messed up with memory, Go seems to mess up with concurrency primitives. The ease with which you can introduce thread leaks and race conditions is just ridiculous. Sure, the

such behaviour? Sounds more like a desperate loser. So what, I imagine many people do that. Exaggerating someones words without the complete context and tone is manipulation as well. I think a grown-up woman could've just asked at that

There's something Knuth is not addressing. If I understand Dijkstra correctly he's seeing an enormous detour that we're taking with, for example, languages which evolved from a computer architecture. These are not formal, the

Great man? Meh, just persevering engineering. Should that be in the history books, sure.

same deal here, quite worthless. Also takes 3 prints before it's readable. Especially irritating for barcodes/qr codes.

Then again I have those ecotank things, and dear lord, it needs 3 prints before it makes a clear print. I did the cleaning/calibration etc, doesn't matter. It's draft printing mode is apparently a while different way of pri

Without DRM you could stream faster than realtime, but that would be even weirder right? But maybe I'm missing the point of this thread.

There was no Electron, so it's not that surprising. More sincere: not sure what games you played, but Grand Theft Auto (1), definitely played better with 16MB+. Also, quake/Unreal, needed at least 32MB. Quake 3 / UnrealTourne

Familiarity bias? Maybe you are just accustomed to your current rats nest. What if you have collisions in /opt? What if a change in the ordering of the paths in LD_LIBRARY_PATH causes a domino effect. Reliable? I'm not sure, it de

Sure, but having a stateful VM is where the self-inflicted pain started imo. Though reading all parent posts, my point is not well placed.

I never understood the VM backup as a strategy. Think about backup from a database or application layer/perspective

your battery is probably being worn out. Mine's already under 80% of the design capacity. So more or less, tlp and kernel optimization has only negated the decline of my battery :/

I wish we could un-invent the notion of averages. Look at it in this case, 2°C increase. Everybody shrugs their shoulders. Yet it's these outlier events which will stop being outliers.

ECC does parity for memory, there's more between memory and cpu registers. Easy candidates are the memory controller, the cpu registers.
