What maintenance is there to do exactly ?

You mean just like all AI maximalists that keep pushing the date of AGI to anywhere between "next year" and "10 years from now" ?

It's interesting that one of the lessons learned in Europe from the 1918-1945 era is that that the army, law enforcement and the judiciary body must be self-governing and the government must oversee their functioning bust must not be a

I fail to understand why "Try again later" is considered bad because "Generic", but "Please try connecting again" is good because it's "Help them fix it". Likewise, it says "You changes were

Telemetry only tells you what users do, not why and doesn't explain their mental models. Try asking directly: open a discussion board (for example Github's Discussions) and encourage them to post about aspects of the software they

By "All you haters that give me grief for drinking my daily cup of decaf can shut up now", you are implying that decaf has the same health benefits of real coffee. That's not proven. And if you weren't meaning to imply t

That wouldn't be a problem if it weren't that the built-in MB navigator is by ar the best I've ever used, and definitely better than all of the apps (Google Maps, Apple Maps, Waze, Nokia Maps, TomTom, Garmin, etc...).

Another way to put it is that Logic deals with cause and effect situations with a correlation of 1. It's possible to have a correlation of 99%, which would be a logical error, but still a very useful bit of practical knowledge. In this

Any remote data system would have the same problems. Looping over a list and synchronously fetching files one by one is equally foolish for S3 too.

I've noticed that back in Europe everyone's in a panic mode, but that's because of the inferiority complex most people have vs both US and China. It's unwarranted.

> that doesn’t entitle them to expect to be contacted directly by the reporter Yes it does. That's how it's always been done and distros can ship a fix well before it ends up in a kernel release.

That was for 6 months only and in an intermediate version that many don't update to, especially in production environments.

It's wasn't "NFS", it was always the users that made that mistake. NFS can be used in a proper and productive manner, but it requires adjustments.

New things can be made optional and tested outside production, and should not be rolled out in an LTS edition.
