Migration to systemd is painful and it needed two GR and a lot of drama to move forward. We had to wait debhelper 10 for it to not be a hack in packaging (2016). Migration away from python2 is wanted by doko, the Python maintainer. If he di

Debian is well known to not be a democracy. This is a do-ocracy. Votes are very rare and, except for systemd (2 in 10 years), are quite non-technical. The second key aspect is that you can't force anyone to do anything. The third key a

It takes less work. Just run Debian unstable. That's exactly what it is.

KaTeX can be generated server-side (no JS on client-side). Its output is browser-independent. It contains MathML in its output and the remaining of the output is correctly tagged to be ignored by readers: <span class="katex&qu

KaTeX can also work without JavaScript as the generated code is browser-independent.

I have also enjoyed it. This is really good for accessibility. I suppose you use the "timeupdate" event and "scrollIntoView()" to sync text and audio but I would be interested to read more on how you have achieved this.

Sony had user-replaceable hard disk since PS3. Microsoft never proposed this. I don't think it will change with this generation.

You would get a ragged left margin if you have elements less than 65ch wide.

I am also wondering. On my Firefox, it seems to run smoothly.

Flatpak has portals for the same purpose. Unfortunately, many apps don't support portals yet. The Flatpak for Spotify does not allow access to home, only to the music directory (read-only). So, it's running in a proper sandbox too

GitHub also record contributions in form of issues and pull requests. Not contributing to projects you are using for your work looks like a bad signal for me.

The problem with prompts is that a user can be tricked to accept them, notably when they are hard to understand. That's the main reason Firefox does not implement such APIs.

The content seems quite outdated (repost?). Notably, Dailymotion does not accept user generated content anymore. Only partners can upload videos.

The reason is to minimize the number of layers, mostly the layers that are not used in the final image (in this example, a layer would include gcc while another would remove it, but you would still need to download the layer with gcc).

> Most of the time, we were able to type fast enough to get a successful SSH login :) I thought it would have been automated by a script. Either they are super fast typers or the metadata server is quite slow!

It seems equivalent to long options requiring a value. Also, if you mistype an environment variable, you won't get warned about it.

No CDN will give you 99.9999% uptime. For example CloudFront SLA says 99.9%. BunnyCDN SLA are 99.99%.

The history is a bit fuzzy. The interesting feature introduced in 2.6.24 was PID and network namespaces. Containers were "complete" by Linux 3.8 with user namespaces. Cgroups are not that important to be able to build containers (

As a point of comparison, you can also expose Puppet masters to the public Internet but Puppet is using HTTP/HTTPS as a transport, so it is trivial to put a reverse proxy in front of it, requiring a valid certificate (managed and signe

There were some serious complains around upstart. Notably, jobs may get stuck in a bad state, difficult to recover. This was never fixed. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/96420..

https://isbgpsafeyet.com/ is a bit misleading. They mention both IRR filtering and RPKI. Both of them are needed. RPKI currently only is used to validate the origin. When a peer only relies on RPKI, it is trivial to announc

I think it is likely that only the slow path (first packet of each flow) will move to userland. The fast path will still be handled in kernel.

Since it's bash-specific, I think people should use zsh instead. No need to quote variables as by default, splitting is not done. And you get access to arrays and associative arrays.

So, you didn't need to recompile or debug anything. Just switch to another DHCP client.

Zaphod mode is still available. nVidia pushed its TwinView solution while everybody else was using either the Zaphod mode or Xinerama. I don't think TwinView on Linux allowed any dynamic configuration. So, when the rest of the world sw
