That's astonishingly optimistic given the current state of both.

And if one of those boxes fails for any reason, hardware or software, I should be able to replace it 100% extremely quickly. Cattle, not pets.

While I love SQL, there's something deeply twisted in the mind that combines SQL with M4.

It should still not be administered as a pet. In fact, it's even more important when you have a single instance of some importance to make it entirely rebuildable and replaceable.

The whole point of dbt is to bring software engineering principles to the handling of data for analytics. It's still SQL (as are all the modern data warehouses) because nothing else has beaten it.

The productiveness, safety, and beauty (seriously!) of the surprisingly numerous Rust kernel and embedded projects suggests otherwise. That use case took off very quickly in Rust world.

You're projecting your selfish, zero-sum view of the world on other people.

They're not "bitching about" more people being verified, they're "bitching about" the wanton, clueless vandalism of the verification system.

But even they didn't view it as a status symbol. A bunch of weird, ignorant, mostly right-leaning jerks did.

Firing key executives and teams, telling employees to print code for review and then shred it, making employees crunch on a feature they all know is a bad idea, his usual extremely bad personal comms strategy (posting like a child), losing

No one who understood verification thought it was a status symbol. Musk doesn't understand the platform he bought, so he promised to change the existing identify verification system – part of a strategy to combat impersonation and misi

Twitter was already under a cloud while Musk was grandstanding his acquisition stunt. Once he was forced to go through with it, his immediate actions and communication confirmed how much chaos we (users, staff, customers) were in for. Then

So you're saying you don't really know what you're talking about?

So you're saying you followed some real jerks.

Musk is capricious, cruel, and clueless. Whether or not you liked Twitter, it's a culturally significant platform, and Musk has almost certainly destroyed any hope it had of surviving. In barely a week. Hopefully it destroys him, too.

Dell had a way to make money and didn't have a halfwit with zero domain experience in charge.

It almost certainly won't be relevant to you, as a Linux kernel user, for a while anyway. So, it will be a little later.

Lots of reasons: - everyone has better things to do than compile software they didn't write - a good distro has probably tested it on a bunch of hardware, and hopefully signed it (or at least the packaging), so you know it was securely

Points from the flip side: - the Linux project is very likely to stick to simple, fast elements of Rust (based on the excellent approach of the Linux/Rust devs thus far) - the more Rust is used, the more work will be done to improve it

The Trustworthy Systems group at UNSW has been doing a lot of research (and verification) of temporal isolation on seL4.

But a row-based database is not a data warehouse, and a columnar database doesn't care about column order because they're not stored together.

That was never the objective, nor the result. It's just an ill-informed meme.

If you knew the GNOME project or any of its contributors over a long period of time, you'd know that this is absolute poppycock. If anything, the GNOME 2.0 approach was an allergic reaction to years of overcomplicated nerd software. Co

A few thoughts: - the seL4 team definitely works on user space stuff (see the rest of the repos in the seL4 organisation on GitHub), but it's very basic thus far. there is some design work going on to standardise some user space bits a

Yes, it requires a little bit of work and scheduling. Very different to running the entire thing yourself, though!

OK, now run the same remediation process except now you're maintaining all of your high availability database clusters yourself. :-) RDS, simple as it may seem on the surface, is one of the things I'm most grateful for in AWS.

My favourite interaction with negative dentries was with PHP's curl library, built with NSS for encryption. NSS would do some kind of filesystem performance check, intentionally opening lots of files that didn't exist. At one poin

There were plenty of us who knew – and said – that "cryptocurrency" was borne of technical, political, economic, societal ignorance when it started. Now it's just more obviously terrible.
