Neither DuckDB nor LevelDB existed when journald was created. Not to say it couldn't be done today, but just some historical context.

syslog doesn't have nearly the functionality that journald + journalctl does. Take a look at journalctl's man page: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/jour... See also the

Sure, a concrete proposal first would be a good idea. That said, would you look a gift horse in the mouth?

This issue report feels like it ought to be accompanied by a fix. If you think you can do better than journald's existing format, propose a new one with tests to prove it. GenAI makes this much easier than it used to be.

There were two concurring opinions in that case: One was signed by Justices Alito, Ginsburg, Breyer, and Kagan. The other--the one whose quotes you cite--was Justice Sotomayor's alone. There can't be a "concurring opinion&quo

Remember, though, that a concurrence is not controlling precedent. The actual opinion in U.S. v. Jones hinges on the fact that "The Government physically occupied private property for the purpose of obtaining information," and a

It’s not just me. This is how people think. That’s my point. Maybe you don’t think that way, but that’s fine.

I’d like it if you provided relevant quotes from these opinions that support your assertions. It’s not very persuasive otherwise. These cases are highly nuanced. Also, you’re being kind of a dick. Knock it off.

It’s not a false suggestion . It might not comport with your interpretation of the dictionary definition, but that doesn’t matter. What matters is what it means to people. That’s why it’s a narrative.

by otterley 2mo ago
How the dictionary defines “niche” doesn’t really matter. It’s the storytelling that matters. A prosecutor might be motivated by and could cite the "tens of billions of dollars" quote. Building compelling narratives is one of th

Do you seriously believe Apple and Disney are going to lose to Netflix over CDN costs? If so, let's place counterwagers.

by otterley 2mo ago
How is that a moat? All that matters is that the CDN is good enough to serve viewer traffic. If your CDN isn't up to snuff, the outcome is that the viewer can't play the video they want. AFAIK, no Netflix competitor is suffering f

I hate to be that guy who complains about style over substance, but man , is that font they use for body text ugly. Not just the glyphs themselves, but the spacing is way off, too.

Everyone knows that tests don't prevent all bugs. But they are very good at preventing known bugs from recurring in the future.

Calling stagex a "niche Linux OS" suggests that hardly anyone uses it. Now you're claiming that "many Fortune 500" companies run it atop tens of billions of dollars worth of infrastructure. These two narratives mate

IAAL but this is not legal advice. In most U.S. states, the actual crime will be a specific reference to a section in a Penal Code (or, for Federal crimes, the U.S. Code). For civil actions, it's likely to be a reference to a common-la
