I mean, debate is Calvinball, so you could go either way. I've seen people win arguing that a K is too generic/doesn't link to the affirmative team's case, and I've seen the affirmative's response get nailed th

This was ubiquitous back when I was doing debate, around 20 years ago. The ship sailed long ago.

Coroutines are cooperative scheduling, and have all the same drawbacks. They're really really good for high performance proxies though, since they make a very small number of cheap decisions for each request, and then punt the bit shuf

I just don't agree that it's hidden by our politics. "How many Yemenis died in the war, and how" is actually an obscured and hidden topic.

Honestly, those are talked about on a daily basis in all the mainstream news outlets not owned by Rupert Murdoch. Howard Zinn won a long time ago.

> in descriptions of war crimes and genocides, we shouldn't censor victims who want the audience to know what happened to them Even this is a political decision, and is generally made based on which side the decider is on.

Glibc is very good. They should get plaudits somewhere by someone occasionally.

It's all about what you're used to, they're all fine until you switch.

Honestly, what was the point of continuing to fund OpenSolaris? Tiny market share, no prospects for improvement. They're already funding a different open source operating system. Caring about open source isn't about funding infini

The Athletic does really good work, both on the beat level and for higher level analysis stuff.

I think it's more uh, consumer side changes than anything else. Just like the Internet has really changed the way people play games and do hobbies, it's changed crime- there's more knowledge, better strategies, etc.

I have a dumb question that maybe you can answer offhand- what's the license of the SRPMs? Aren't they kind of a derivative work of their original projects?

Linux (or glibc I guess) and Solaris both rolled back their m:n threading implementations over a decade ago. It's a really hard problem, and you kind of need to own the whole stack. The only other system with a comparable implementatio

"Just m:n threads" is serious downplaying, most operating systems and languages that had that retired it eventually. The go implementation of goroutines is really really good.

Man, that subreddit used to be vital and have tons of comments on everything. Just a pale shadow of itself today.

Does it tank your natural T production? I've heard people claim that once you start you're sort of stuck with it permanently.

"Maybe steroid abuse is too common" was my thought after watching a shirtless RFK Jr (69) do pushups the other day.

A mitigating factor is that a lot of engineers are from low cost areas, and yearn to return. India, China, exurbs from across the US.

RHEL gives really good audit. They're very good with security updates, they support things for a very long time. And if you wander into Federal Government land, it's hard to use anything else.

Lots of prominent New England families with their names all over everything got their start that way- Astor, Delano, Cabot, Forbes. "The old China trade" is the phrase to search for.

Yes. Honestly it generally looks like low quality wrappers around AWS that don't save anyone any time.

SOC II and other audits tend to come with the same baggage- they want strict roles and separation of duties between operations and engineering.

Oof. I hope this doesn't get wedge io_uring into a place where people can't use it because it's disabled, so they don't, and the whole improvement gets stuck and wasted.
