Yes, I didn't mean to imply that Linux was doing anything wrong, just that some hardware seems to work better with other approaches, for the reasons you state.

The Linux kernel supports rebooting using a number of different strategies[1]. Some PCs need a different one than the default in order to make sure everything is properly reset. [1]: https://github.com/torvalds/linux&#x

Haha, you just made my day. How have I not seen this?! Thank you.

First of all, the 500 error page is often included as part of the toolkit being used to make the site, as a generic response to most exceptions. The developer isn't generally going to explain every possible exception in detail to the e

This is a great idea. I had no idea about the single-use radiosondes.

There are companies out there (full disclosure, I work for one[1]) that create and maintain custom software for companies such as yours, including websites. They work with you to make sure you have exactly what you need. That direction may

Ideally, colonies that are unable to keep mites etc. under control will simply die. I expect some losses before a strong colony emerges that I can split.

I've started keeping my own chemical-free bees. My hope is to build a healthy apiary of local bees that casts swarms, which will help replenish the wild bee population around me.

Wow, some great examples in here for how to use mocks wrong. I get the impression the author has just never seen tests that use mocks properly, honestly. The various refactorings contained in here are fine, of course, but I see no reason to

Why are we building this into SSH itself? Isn't this what things like fail2ban are for?

Yikes, those things are terrifying. I'm a fledgling beekeeper, this is not a good game for me to play.

They must be reading this thread. The killer bees stung me to death despite my escaping happily and not perishing.

Indeed. I'll come back when they fix that mess.

I think you're misinterpreting my response. Of course there's value in testing operating systems within VMs. In fact, a solid chunk (if not most) of the Ubuntu install-base is VMs, believe it or not. I wasn't talking about th

Yes that might actually help, but I can imagine the cost/benefit analysis being difficult to pull off: the costs are very real, but the benefits are less tangible. To be clear, I don't know of anyone who left because of a bad upgr

I suspect it was a lot easier to feel like that was one's duty when the company was smaller and you were closer to every piece of it. It was also probably easier to get issues resolved when you knew exactly who to talk to. Maintaining

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your question, but is it really dogfooding if every meaningful thing I'm doing is within a stable VM? In general, a VM for my work doesn't change anything. It doesn't magically keep anything

> Also, no blame here. Oh don't worry, no offense taken. It's an interesting problem: dogfooding is definitely a good way to catch problems, but if your release is unstable enough to break machines, you can end up with a wide s

It's top-down engineering. Mark commanded the desktop team to go all-in on Flutter. This is how Canonical functions.

by kyrofa 2y ago
Even when I worked at Canonical I never installed the latest LTS until at least its first point release in the summer. Maybe I'm part of the problem: if more people followed my lead, the initial release would get buggier and buggier.

by kyrofa 3y ago
Yeah I've always found that to be frustrating. Someone squashes and merges MY commits, and github still shows them as validly signed, even though they aren't the commits I created. Sadly it's hard to actually filter those out
