Can we talk about how, in the first graphic, the "open-source distributions" that garner mention are Debian, Mint, Gentoo, and Slackware? Centos seems like a conspicuous absence.

There's nothing "crazy" about the preempt-rt patch and coding your application to use the scheduler policies/priorities. Like anything else worth having in open source, it takes practice to learn or money for consultants

Which is exactly the OS you choose when you when you're pushing medical data through network stacks. I could belabor the usual arguments regarding "secure by default" configurations, but I'm sure HN readers have heard th

And probably by accident, at that. Ubuntu's default apt configuration is rather... chatty.

So you're saying _Event Horizon_ took rather unrealistic liberties?

You can get a "legacy" installer for Focal server: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-legacy-server/releases/20.0... I'm using it myself for $DAYJOB, although, as you say, my Bionic preseed needed a _

Can someone familiar with the subject speak on the state of the TrustZone in this chip?

If there are any current (or ex-) Symmetricom employees reading this, then I'd love to hear about your work. I have a profound interest in the domain of high-precision timekeeping.

Exactly, alternatives to dynamic linking can go either way: static linking if you make decisions earlier or dynamic loading (via libdl) if you make decisions later.

Changing out glibc for musl can be done if you control the linker invocations on the object files. This would be extremely difficult (but not impossible) for those like myself that use closed-source third-party shared objects linked against

While the detail provided is plentiful, the article reads less like a technical guide and more like a story of how windows devs learned the caveats and tradeoffs inherent to dynamic linking/loading. I'm glad it was written and I&#

As a longtime hater of dkms blobs, I can sympathize with the python folks.

Is anyone using dot and/or graphviz in earnest for something like this?

Before normalizing the data for life expectancy? Almost certainly.

Because the alternative, namely the conscientious abstention from overwork, will often earn you a reputation as a "bare-minimum worker", a "clock-watcher", and "not a team-player".

I don't share your optimism. If proprietary firmware and dkms blobs remain _de rigueur_, I can't see the situation on linux improving w.r.t. things like graphics cards and wifi chips.

Is this the technology that https://dustidentity.com/ is doing?

His argument is predicated on the antiquated assumption that ISP customers can be provisioned primarily as "internet consumers". The adoption of virtual meetings has exposed this notion to be the fallacy it is.

I can always rely on our Intel Realsense cameras -- to magically transform themselves into USB 2.1 devices after a couple hours' use.

Seconded. shlibs exist for a reason, not the least of which is automagic Depends resolution.

Like clockwork. Literally every US voting season, ever since Diebold machines became fixtures. I tire of seeing these problems make headlines yet again when a technical solution exists.

Agreed, but this article didn't convince me. Watching the Comcast/Verizon duopoly play out over two decades has overwhelmingly negated the argument for private-sector infrastructure.

Autism is also a _sensory_ disorder. Speaking entirely for myself, I would find the additional stimuli distracting at best and unbearable at worst.

At one point, ROS documentation touted its ablity to support multiple "ros_distros" on a single host. That developers are reduced to isolation via live USB is some pretty stark irony.
