Well, the reason Linus could confidently choose to license the kernel as GPLv2 is exactly because it inherited no incompatibly-licensed code. USL v. BSDi (also 1992 — what a year!) is evidence of how non-trivial this actually is: https:&#x

Ah, it seems that Raspbian built for ARMv6 but still used the ABI tag "armhf", how confusing; I guess Alpine has done something similar. https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi#Raspberry_Pi_OS_.28forme...

FWIW, the Raspberry Pi 1B is an ARM11, which is why you are getting and booting an ARMv6 kernel. v6 is the architecture; the "l" at the end of "v6l" indicates it's little endian. As for "armhf" it is a des

I'd just ask for a change at MSFT; they have a really good reputation for finding the right position for solid performers. I'm surprised you didn't mention whether you explored that in your post, so maybe you have already, bu

Here's a Foxconn factory near Jundiaí: https://goo.gl/maps/Y4R5VzZeS3cqi49W7 They also have other factories in the country, including in Manaus. It was inaugurated in 2012 and indeed for a few years did produce Ap

Yeah. It might be a reference to "electronic"; this usually describes the transition from electromag and crossbar to fully digital switching: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_switching_system

I believe it's actually called Gurupa, and named after the island on the Amazon just downriver of the delta. The only place I know that refers to the area as Garupa is Selfridge's survey at https://www.history.navy.mil&

Yes, but let's be fair, it's a galaxy better than writing it on a post-it or password booklet, and still way better than using a memorable passphrase which will get reused and then leaked. Besides, you can encrypt the local storag

It misses the most important one-liner for python debugging: import pdb; pdb.set_trace() which leaves you in the debugger at a specific point in your code. When I actually did Python dev rare was the day I didn't crack that out!

I'm not sure how refresh.metered behaves when there is a network device change, but I assume it will, yes. And I'm pretty sure NM lets you set all network connections metered, i.e. nmcli connection modify $CONNECTION connectio

OK, I've had breakfast. First, has anybody actually been fired for criticizing snaps? Your comment seems to imply through hyperbole that we don't debate inside Canonical, but in my experience that simply isn't true. In fact,

Ubuntu does stand for a certain set of values; security built in and doing The Right Thing on the behalf of the end user are part of it. That does lead to certain distro semantics that I'm sure not everyone will like. And that's O

Hmm, let me think a bit about how to respond to your first paragraph. But meanwhile, I'm curious about point 3 as you seem to have facts that I lack -- when a confined snap refresh runs through snapd, is the upgrade payload not execute

Actually, snaps inherit from Ubuntu Phone's app packaging mechanism, so it's neither server nor desktop — but certainly closer to the end-user side of the spectrum. (For server apps, the auto-update mechanism has a really painful

I think this is a great suggestion, and I would also prefer that you could just permanently disable (via config, even if somehow discouraged) the default auto-update behavior.

by kikoreis 6y ago
The challenge is that a) we don't really want to (can't afford to, etc) maintain a forked package for everything which comes in snaps and b) snaps are really, really, much better for publishing and maintaining certain classes of a
