We are working on it. We know what patch introduced the regression and 0.7.8 is going out soon to revert it. Until then, users should downgrade to 0.7.6 if they have not already. The Gentoo and EPEL maintainers have pulled the affected releases from the repositories (technically masked on Gentoo). Ubuntu was never affected.

The regression makes it so that creating a new file could fail with ENOSPC after which files created in that directory could become orphaned. Existing files seem okay, but I have yet to confirm that myself and I cannot speak for what others know. It is incredibly difficult to reproduce on systems running coreutils 8.23 or later. So far, reports have only come from people using coreutils 8.22 or older. The directory size actually gets incremented for each orphaned file, which makes it wrong after orphan files happen.

We will likely have some way to recover the orphaned files (like ext4’s lost+found) and fix the directory sizes in the very near future. Snapshots of the damaged datasets are problematic though. Until we have a subcommand to fix it (not including the snapshots, which we would have to list), the damage can be removed from a system that has it either by rolling back to a snapshot before it happened or creating a new dataset with 0.7.6 (or another release other than 0.7.7), moving everything to the new dataset and destroying the old. That will restore things to pristine condition.

It should also be possible to check for pools that are affected, but I have yet to finish my analysis to be certain that no false negatives occur when checking, so I will avoid saying how for now.

See the test-case furthest down in the bug report. They were able to get it to reproduce on current linux distributions. The differences between older and newer distributions had to do with coreutils changes to the "cp" implementation between 8.22 and 8.23

I predict this will work in five years but not in fifteen. By 2033 you will have an iPhone XXIV which will not support Bluetooth, and even if you find an ancient iPhone XVI with Bluetooth on eBay, the remote maker will no longer be working on improving the app, so Apple won't let you install it. Of course today he's here to say the circuit board is replaceable but unless this thing is a breakout hit there won't be enough motivation to enhance it in 2033.

For those who may say if a remote lasts five years it's good enough: maybe you're right in today's context. Things I grew up with came with remotes that lasted 20 years and were only obsolete when the thing they controlled was. I guess that's true of Turn Touch too, if you consider that the device it controls is your iPhone.

As someone who studies reinforcement learning (or at least attempts to), this article was expertly written and illustrated. The graphics were phenomenal to explain how MDP's function. The text was written with enough intuitive explanations to guide the reader but provides the correct notation to the reader to further investigate. If I had any complaint, it would be that the author didn't mention backwards induction or dynamic programming when describing the solution method in Appendix B. Still, I think this was the best intro/case study of standalone MDP's I have ever read. Great work!
grids are great. nobody's arguing that a UI should be inconsistent, that is absurd. The vast majority of designers only attack the problem from a shallow aesthetic pov though.

>Using the old/new Reddit is a horrible example, because the old Reddit absolutely had a design system that made sense to the user.

Your own argument supports exactly what I'm saying. The designers of the new Reddit took an existing, very functional design and then f*cked it up by making it "pretty".

Most designers put UX on their resume (because it's trendy), but their folios betray that they do aesthetics (which is great, but not terribly important), and only have an effect on UX accidentally.

Man this entire article was hard to approach. Some internal links to some background info, or a bit deeper background introduction section would be really great.

We as a society have decided to keep public records. I don't see anyone advocating that we clean everyone's record after they repay their debt to society. We still have background checking services and they don't have to enforce a right to be forgotten. I assume county record searches don't have to enforce a right to be forgotten. I also assume a specifically focuses criminal record website doesn't have to enforce a right to he forgotten. It seems a little weird to enforce it on Google under some pretence that he should have a clean record after repaying his debts to society.

This is the 2nd 'French' horror story I've heard. An ex-colleague (ex-pat french man) told me an almost exact same story (different software: numerical simulations). Of course bad software happens all over the globe (Looking at you Canadian Phoenix pay system).

However (to me) there are some cultural issues which make things even worse it seems : a VERY rigid chain of command structure and a strict 'political' hierarchy which makes changes happen very very slowly and not always towards the best outcome (for the project, billing is $$$ great).

As mentioned each country has issues, but I don't know if I could go into such a strict hierarchical corporate environment.

Not an expert. But reasonably knowledgeable about what you could do with antenna tech and while this is possible in theory if there is only one transmitter in all of the Earth-side footprint of where that antenna points I highly doubt you could recover all the signals of all the individual WiFi transmitters in that footprint which is what would be necessary to pull a single data stream out of the mess.

Even so, if you're in a rural area and your next door neighbour is a mile away or so with the right antenna this might very well be possible. Keep in mind that antenna gain is the rough equivalent of increased transmitter power, so a very good antenna can offset a lack of power at the transmitter site.

I went with the T470p, i7700HQ, 32GB RAM, and 1TB SSD. This this is amazing.

I unfortunately must dual boot just in case I need to use software or services that require Windows. I just wiped their default installation with Windows 10 Education edition, gave it 256GB of space, then installed Arch on the other partition.

I mainly use Arch and have only used Windows for the first day or two of having the laptop. I get around 8-10 hours of usage, similar to you, and everything is just awesome. Even while running a VM or two the battery like is still good!

If I understand this correctly, it seems like they are only doing CI/CD on the master/main branch.

The question is why don't they test the feature branches in the same way as master/main? Assuming all their testing is part of the CI/CD system, it seems like that would provide a valuable signal and enable faster feedback as well.

Yes, I suppose there could be capacity constraints around this. But let's hold those aside for a moment.. let assume we have enough computers (IaaS) and testing is full automated.

In this case, I think argument for only testing master is to force the developers to integrate with master as soon as (or as frequently as) possible.

While I can see the benefit in that, I think there is a cost to developer productivity. If you had perfect change isolation and developers always knew how to implement features as a series of small changes this would work. But IME, this is usually not the case.

While you can try to get the developer to change, I don't think this is an easy transformation, especially in a team/org where there's larger diversity in skill set.

Even if that might be the right thing to from a "make everyone a better coder standpoint", I'm not sure it's optimal from a "help the people we have ship quickly and better" by letting them test (CI/CD) as soon as possible.

The cost of rebasing/syncing with master is also highly variable across codebases. Some codebases has pretty stable interfaces that don't change often and it's very easy to work within those borders. But if those interfaces are changing often, I can also envision tons of mental context killing rebases to keep up.

I think there's spectrum of possible outcomes here and the optimal/right choice will vary depending on the circumstances.

It's not that simple, those point-to-point links are done with both highly directional antennae at both ends. You'd need to deal with Doppler (the satellite is moving pretty quickly, and likely in a relatively complex path relative to the transmitter), attenuation because of rainfall and other atmospheric effects, polarization, non-directional transmitter antenna and the effect of likely having 1000's of transmitters of roughly the same kind in the footprint of the satellite antenna.

It isn't impossible, but 'Yep' is a bit of a shortcut, and if they pull this off it would be quite the technological feat.

It also would mean that if this is possible that you wouldn't need anything special to implement SpaceX's vision of ubiquitous internet using LEO satellites, the antenna tech for that is quite exotic and requires a roof mounted structure, something that almost no WiFi transmitter has.

So those WiFi distance records are not at all on the same level as picking up a single WiFi signal from space, the one requires cooperation on both sides, the other has to do everything on one end (but obviously with a larger budget and some really clever people behind it). If you've ever done such a long haul WiFi link then you'll know how hard it is to line up the dishes and how easy it is to lose the connection due to wind, vibration or water in the atmosphere.
Oh great, one more thing to worry about.

But they shine a lot of light in every direction, including directly at you, the observer. So even if they are small they compensate for that by their power output and the fact that their radiation is a near perfect sphere. A satellite trying hard to hide isn't going to be nearly as friendly as that for an observer.

When people look back at this time, I think they are going to contrast the OpenAI camp with the Satoshi camp.

OpenAI is extremely public about what organizations and individuals are involved. Satoshians are pathologically secret, from the founder to the faceless GPU mines around China.

OpenAI is highly selective of who participates; Blockchain is radically open.

OpenAI builds academic theories and models, bitcoin has been buying pizzas it's whole life, paying hackers and pranksters, and making and losing fortunes everyday.

Satoshi left no founding document, never established a charter or code of conduct. OpenAI now apparently considers itself on the mission to save humanity itself.

When AGI comes about, I wonder which one we'll be talking about?

(I see the misplaced anger, and cringe. It's no wonder the wealthy own everything, rent control is a bad thing, unions are a bad thing, and most of tech will be looking for a bathroom to use in a few months. Sorry, but the projection is getting thick.)

Backwards compatibility with native extensions is the single biggest problem preventing optimising both Python and Ruby. If we could completely throw out C API compatibility like LuaJIT did, then we could make huge improvements to Python and Ruby performance and memory usage.

We may be doomed to an infinite regress here. After all, a Chromecast is more locked down than an iPad...

Someone considering running chrooted Linux on a Chromebook is going to be more interested in a Mac than an iPad, so IMO that's the more useful comparison.

I did run Crouton on a ChromeOS device and came to regret it. ChromeOS devices don't run a mainline kernel, they run something that Google provides which eventually stops receiving updates.

The audio app I wanted to run required a newer kernel, and there was no way to get it short of forward-porting a bunch of device support and building it myself.

IMO for Linux development, users are better served by a real Linux laptop than by a ChromeOS chimera.

The counter-revolution was more to restore church power than the monarchy (that's how the peasants were enlisted, anyway), but that's not a relevant detail. Re why exclude: You were trying to prove that initial revolutions, contra the present upper classes kill mostly poor people. Might be true but can't be shown by citing counter-revolutions. Sure, similarly, White Russian soldiers killed a lot of poor peasants - but then, why wouldn't they?
If you’re smart, not impulsive, able to plan and consider other points of view, you tend not to be the murdering, bomb threatening, abusing type. People who can lay plans and carefully follow through with them tend not to rob liquor stores, and deal drugs. If you don’t care about poeple, or hurting them, but can plan and have good impulse control there’s a world white collar crime, politics, business and law for you. In short, the police tend to deal with idiots, or people who have poor planning/impulse control.

In other words, the guy who plans out a careful alibi tends not to be the guy who needs one. The previous post mentioned the Unabomber, who was a rare example of someone who had excellent planning skills, high intelligence, and excellent impulse control. It took almost two decades to catch him, and only because his brother recognized his writing.
