The arrogance has been there since the start of systemd. It's not just a comment on a particular personality, either, but rather on the general attitude as demonstrated by design decisions. I think it helps to think of it as making Lin

MX Linux does a nice job with SysV, and Artix uses OpenRC. I've tried both and liked them, though Artix broke pretty hard once during an upgrade. But yeah, it was hard to find a Linux distro that runs well without systemd.

That's actually a much more reasonable answer than the one I had imagined. The unfortunate part is that I don't trust anyone not to misuse the data, especially not government employees.

I ended up paying $8k out of pocket after my pretty good insurance paid out. I'm still astonished at the overall cost, though.

Well, I would say if you are given a choice of a procedure like the one described in the article or open heart surgery, choose the less invasive one. Although in my experience, they don't really consult with you about what you'd p

Thank you for the very informative reply. Frankly I didn't have the energy to really quiz my very excellent surgeon on all the details. I was pretty low energy at the time. I was relatively young for the surgery, mid-50s, so I don&#x27

The most interesting paragraph was that the author is thinking about porting the Kali pentesting suite to OpenBSD. That would be awesome.

I had open heart surgery for repair of an aortic aneurysm. I also inherited the same wanky bicuspid aortic valve that has contributed to the death of at least one person (and usually more) in each of the last four generations of my family.

I'm not a Southerner, but I've spent a lot of time here. It's still like a foreign land to me sometimes, but mostly I like it. One of the best things about it is Waffle House. It reminds me of small town Midwestern cafes that

The numbers change with electronic ballots too, so again, what's the compelling reason?

I'm not arguing that Amazon should be forced to sell these books. I'm arguing that the original argument above which used product liability for selling poisons to argue in favor of stopping the publication of books is inappropriat

Why does this keep coming up? What is the compelling argument against paper ballots? There is no need for results to be known immediately, so how does making voting an exercise done by computers make anything better, particularly when compu

Bullshit. A book is just ideas that have been written down. And the argument that buying it on Amazon gives it more credibility is so ridiculous that I actually laughed out loud.

Ideas aren't products. There's a difference between books and physical products that you ingest (such as arsenic or mentos). The GP's argument uses a false equivalency.

Whenever I see the ridiculous number of places to which pi has been calculated, I wonder if anyone has checked to see if there is a repeating pattern. I mean, 31 trillion places leaves a lot of possibilities for repetition of a couple of bi

By that point, though, the people who had guns (i.e., the military) supported the overthrow of the existing order. It certainly wouldn't have happened with their active opposition.

Consular services in many countries are a joke, even for citizens, with bored bureaucrats taking out their frustrations on people who frequently have no other recourse. The state department is nothing like what is depicted in movies and on

I have to confess that I have never understood why athletics is considered necessary at academic institutions, so it is even less understandable why athletics is considered during admissions.
