Makes me think of something my dad and I both talked about with our time in the military. He was Army and I was Navy. But when the ability to promote is tied with ranking against your peers, if you really want to game the system, you essent

Will check this out! I knew there was a group who had a version working, but it wasn't upstreamed and last I check was still stuck at .NET 5. While I would like to migrate from Debian to FreeBSD, probably won't get management to o

In case you were not aware, there is a large overlap between people who work/worked on NetBSD and OpenBSD that also work on Void Linux, which is why Void feels like that. Juan Pardines being an example of one individual.

We run ZFS for a system at work on linux. Yea, it isn't as seamless and nice on FreeBSD. Only reason we aren't running FreeBSD is the application that needs to access that storage is .NET, and no .NET support for FreeBSD.

by tcmart14 11mo ago
Because it is. Linux doesn't really have a concrete idea of a "base system" like the BSDs do. Linux is more of a hodgepodge of components that are developed by different, and often a lot more isolated teams than we think, tha

Yes and no. OpenZFS on Linux still isn't as seamless and most distros still don't make it easy to do ZFS on root. Its definitely gotten better though.

But that is still for a limited number of chipsets though right? I would absolutely love to see way more support. I remember awhile back the FreeBSD Foundation putting some serious (on their scale of funds) funds to WiFi.

You can, but it's all about risk mitigation. Most processors have some form of store and forward (and it can have limitations like only X number of transactions). Some even have controls to limit the amount you can store-and-forward (f

by tcmart14 1y ago
Yea, good old store and forward. We implemented it in our PoS system. Now, we do non PCI integrations so we arn't in PCI scope, but depending on the processor, it can come with some limitations. Like, you can do store and forward, but

Would be totally a guess since as mentioned, they are not being too forth coming. But chances are, the inclusion of GPT into the products probably did not make those products any more profitable than before, and just make them more expensiv

Not to mention also shoving it into every product even without a solid reason or use case for it. Microsoft has been making AI the focal point of everything they do recently. Google spend years investing in fundamental research into AI whil

While TDD can have some merits, I think this is being way to generous to the value of tests. As Dijkstra said once, "Testing shows the presence, not the absence of bugs." I'm not a devout follower of Uncle Bob, but I was just

Yea but it is also about opportunity cost. I would love if we can do everything, but we can't. Sure, we can put a man on the moon again, but is the cost that we are not gonna be able to send a probe to Titan? Ultimately it comes down t

Hey look, some of us have sex for fun, and some of us have sex to summon ancient goddesses, that isn't so different now, is it? I don't kink shame.

by tcmart14 1y ago
I do agree with this. If we are returning to the moon just to say we did, as a space lover, I do have an issue with this and can't really get on board. I am hoping we have some other larger goal in mind, like maybe are back to the idea

It's changed since now Ive got the ZSA Voyager and put my trackball mouse in the center, over all, it is still a small set up. But prior to, I did 60/65% keyboards. A lot of it for me was just a spacing issue. Full size keyboards

Just got the ZSA Voyager a couple months ago and love it. It goes with me to and from work. For me, the biggest draw is just the more natural sitting position, I've found that I love having my trackball mouse in the center between the

This is the other side of it. "Online everyone complains about X," but everyone is 200 randos online, hardly conclusive. If anything its more like the yelp effect. The people who are most likely to complain and celebrate online ar

I agree. Both companies and people change. Companies and their customers will grow together and apart. Markets change, etc. And people should accept that is fine. While there is a group that thought OS X was a disaster, there is a group of

I would say both are true. Kirk had the number 1 youth conservative movement. But, even with that, he isn't as well known as some people think because very few of the youth are engaged in politics. Most of the people I know who know of

It is wild that I completely forgot about the fire that endangered Shapiro and his family this year. Just to me, shows how crazy this year has been with events.

Also there was a string of events of a guy shooting at offices of a certain political party in Arizona not that long ago and also a candidate who lost who also tried to hire a hitman to kill the person they lost to.

Just some other fascinating things about WW1 and Italy. Mussolini was heavily was heavily in the Italian socialist party. His family was socialist. World War 1 breaks out, he leaves/get kicked out of the party for his support of WW1. A

As others have said, we did see effects, but a quick recovery of many of these events or the full scale of damage still isn't known and quantified. We definitely are in a bubble, but like you suggest, diversify. Don't stop investi

I'll grant you that Tay's ability to turn into an utter shit show was phenomenal. However, IBM thinking it would be a good idea to give Watson the Urban dictionary holds a special place in my heart.

I can't speak to performance since I don't really race languages. But as far as feel and what not, it is very similar. But there is also a pretty good overlap in people who worked on Rust and people who worked in Swift. Graydon wo

Just to give another data point. LLVM is a good example. Where FreeBSD and Apple may still interface quiet a bit, and this isn't exclusive to FreeBSD, I think Apple is still a primary contributor/maintainer of CUPS and a few oth

Also checkout DragonflyBSD. They, at least at one time, where gunning for the HPC use case.I don't keep up with it enough to know the current state today, to know if they are still hard charging in that direction since they forked from
