Yes, frankly. It results in terrible outcomes for basically everyone, which ultimately hurts patients the most.

It's actually possible to produce a stack trace of sorts, if you use a lot of bash functions. One possible implementation is: https://github.com/TritonDataCenter/sdc-headnode/blob/master...

There's a common thread in the comment you're replying to and another comment made by the same author, in which they appear to quietly suggest that perhaps it's just TBIs and sleep deprivation. I get the sense it's a th

It's really hard to read this comment as anything but a quiet suggestion that perhaps PTSD is a result of mental health workers and not the result of trauma. What seems far more likely is that people trapped in cultures that have not

I've thought about this a lot, and I feel that it's not really as big a detriment to safety as you might expect. It's not exactly the same as an air gapped token generator, obviously, but: - It's still something you hav

Much of this article is bullshit, to be honest. There's a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth about how you can only have one version of python installed at a time, but obviously that's patent nonsense: lots of OSes shipped a py

I promise that we have shipped several of them around. We have one parked in a cage in the south bay, and I believe aside from getting the crate on and off the truck, it was almost certainly rolled into the DC on its castors. I have perso

FWIW, I believe we've now fixed the clone-related crash issue, as of https://www.illumos.org/issues/14003

by jclulow 3y ago
That is in fact how crash dump works on illumos systems. Once you enter a kernel panic, interrupts are disabled, all other CPUs are brought to rest, etc. Then the panic code takes the pages to write to the dump and passes them to a specia

Yeah, we definitely only intend Helios to run on either the Oxide rack or in service of software engineering work surrounding the rack (that's what we use the ISO installers and virtual machine images for). If you're interested in

FWIW, though for historical reasons we use dmake to build the core operating system, I tend to recommend people use GNU make (gmake) for new Makefiles in other consolidations. It's broadly available (including on other platforms) and

I've noticed you make this comment repeatedly when illumos is mentioned on HN. I think you're underestimating the irreducible complexity of the build process for what is essentially a whole UNIX operating system, save for a few e

I tried some of the examples on my phone but it ends up being basically microscopic because it's targetting a classic Mac resolution. I think it would help if it either did something intelligent with pixel doubling or some other scali

I remember using ACDSee in my Windows desktop era, and for what it's worth I enjoy "feh" on Linux today in a similar vein.

If you're going to drop secret masking, it at least needs to be optionally still available. Modern cameras can capture quite a lot od what's on today's bright, high contrast, high resolution, wide viewing angle screens from

Good news! Climate change is already making malaria worse, decreasing food security, and will presumably begin destabilising governments in some regions as a result of disasters and migration if it has not already begun to do so. Prioriti

On at least some other operating systems, getenv(3C) and setenv(3C) are indeed thread-safe; e.g., on illumos: https://illumos.org/man/3C/getenv We inherited our implementation from OpenSolaris, as did Oracle when

Also, an apparently nostalgia-rich rose coloured recollection of the artistic expression present in earlier hand-animated cartoons that I suspect would not stand up to serious scrutiny.

I think it was more likely an emergent effect of rubbish file system and disk cache behaviour, little or no prefetching, etc, than any coordinated activity in SMB?

Note that unlike the GPL, the CDDL is file-based. It doesn't require your entire body of software to be CDDL, it just requires that you make modifications to CDDL-licenced files available under the CDDL.

The name of the file is just part of the committed interface that the binary consumes. You could just as well suggest it's silly that every Linux system needs to agree on the behaviour of each system call number, or no program for ano
