Maybe if you know what the "GNU operating system" is, it's a great description.

As for me, I had to keep reading until I saw "Linux" to go "oh ok, it's a Linux distro and they're being a little weird about it because it's GNU/Linux, nevermind it's GNU. It's just GNU."
Nice. Running Fb-Delete. I couldn't get the DeleteFB to work so I'm running yours instead. Any idea how long it takes if you got 1000s of posts?
> looking at sysvinit

That's the thing: there are lots of alternatives besides sysvinit specifically (OpenRC, Upstart, BSD-style RC, launchd, SMF, runit, etc.) on varying scales from "simpler than even sysvinit" to "more feature-rich than systemd". And yet, the best the systemd advocates could ever muster up is/was criticizing specific flaws with just sysvinit.

Of course sysvinit sucks, but you'll notice that (Devuan being the notable exception) most of the article's listed distros use something that's very much not sysvinit.
Segfaults are the ideal case for memory errors, and those are the most easily caught and fixed, so you're least likely to see them. But, often those memory errors result in silent corruption which can be exploited, and that's harder to detect, especially if it relies on very specific corner cases. `curl` has had a number of these vulnerabilities over the last several years, for example.

Something as simple as `ls` is probably so small and battle tested that it's not an issue, but if you're writing an all-new, not-battle-tested tool, why wouldn't you want stronger guarantees? The new tool is being written for the features, but it's not fun to write vulnerabilities into something that should be simple and "just work."

Languages like Go and Ruby are also mostly memory safe, so those are generally fine picks here too, but every language has trade offs. In this case, the author clearly cares about performance, which Ruby does not care about.

Rust also has a built-in testing harness, which is a lot more convenient IMHO than using whatever C testing framework you might have a predisposition towards.
I like the topic and content in general, but this guy writes like a fedora tips!

I'd really like to suppress the sound.

Doing that well is non-standard, and thus expensive. There are so many obvious fixes that introduce other problems. Textured surfaces like carpet and popcorn ceilings get filthy disgusting. Wooden walls and ceilings are a fire hazard.

I think white silicone rubber would be an excellent surface material. It won't burn, nothing eats it, it won't rot, it can be scrubbed with bleach or detergent, and it can have the right sort of softness for absorbing sound. It could work as floor tiles or wall panels, with a smooth exposed surface and a waffle-like backing to grant it some additional squishyness. For the ceiling it could even be like stalactites, perhaps 4" diameter and 20" length, to better absorb the sound.
In the US system with malpractice lawsuits, there will be followup in most cases. US Doctors are still furious over the amount of unnecessary testing that occurred as a result of the "whole body scan at third party facility" fad from a decade or two ago.
And some of it is developed under standards like ISO 26262, or IEC 61508. You would be amazed at what goes into your steering, braking, airbag, and stability control systems.

> The bankruptcy thing is irrelevant to this discussion.

Wait, what??

Why do you think costs of education are skyrocketing? It's because lenders can write blank checks to 18 year olds who are going to be the ones footing the bill for the next 20-30 years.

If student loans were bankruptcy-forgiveable, lenders would think very carefully about what loans they give out to who, and why. Schools would be focusing on education instead of building worthless buildings that remain mostly-empty (yes, I saw this happen at UC Santa Cruz) or lining the pockets of the administrators. Lenders would be incentivized to loan people money based on their income potential in the future, which does not currently happen.

Bankruptcy is not only relevant, it's the entire crux of the issue. Make lenders partially responsible for the debt and you solve an entire slew of problems we currently face.
Shepherd replaces systemd as the init system.
>I am loathe to support the attempted destruction of capitalism based on unreliable computer models.

That's a whopper. Have you worked with modelled climate data for any length of time? Or at all? In a past life, I became intimately familiar with the A1B1 data from half a dozen institutions. Collectively they did NOT present a pretty picture. IIRC by about 2050 climate change will really start to bite and make life miserable for us humans. But even if those models are hopelessly wrong (which I doubt), isn't it worth taking a conservative tack anyway with regard to the environment? Or should we just gamble with the future and hope that our energy intensive ways do not result, for example, in systemic crop failure that, in turn, leads to capitalism's self-immolation.
Note this is only an issue for docker images using non default tools. Not good but not unique, for instance here is another high scored CVE for PAM issues in Ubuntu/Debian https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2009-3232/

I think there is a lot unclear there, or left to be desired.

For instance does advanced mean for advanced users, beginners need not apply, or that it is in advance of a real release and is sort of an alpha?

I have a macbook, can I run Guix on there? Or is this part of GNU Hurd (something that I heard about on /. 15 years ago)? What is a cool thing I can do with Guix, besides have my freedom respected? Do apt or Homebrew not respect that freedom?

I would love someone to break Guix down for me or point me to the best description because there are tantalizing hints of a cool thing but I never get a totally clear picture.

Other than your suggestion that a "nano-influencer" is akin to MLM (in the whole up/down graph stuff, and pyramid nature), I don't see reason here to conclude that.

Small-to-medium brands engaging with small-to-medium scale individual marketers/influencers could be quite different than traditional MLM, with way fewer intermediaries.

I mean, a 15% reduction in effective computation is not nothing just because AMDs CPUs aren't faster. The 8700k has 2 less cores and costs ~$100 more, so now it is not a very compelling purchase if you plan to turn mitigations on.

Many people bought the 8700k for a level of performance, that they now need to compromise for: 1) higher performance, small chance of exploits, 2) lower performance and less exploits.

This dilemma did not exist until this year, and now everyone is paying for it, besides Intel.
The most frustrating thing is when the docs have that "this document is no longer maintained. Please see /documentation/whatever for the latest version" but when you go the link it ends up just linked back to the place you came from. I guess that means the unmaintained stuff is still current? I don't know though because it's still all Objective-C, so I have no idea what the current best practice is supposed to look like. For a trillion dollar company it's kind of annoying that they can't hire somebody to do the docs. For MacOS dev there are basically no third party resources either. The last book is from Swift 3. It's better than nothing, but not much.
Guix is a functional package manager, like Nix. Guix System is a distro built around it, like NixOS. You can run Guix on top of a "foreign" distro and enjoy most of its benefits. Partial upgrades, rollbacks, reproducible builds, etc.

You’re looking for `daemon-reexec`:

https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemctl.h...

> Reexecute the systemd manager. This will serialize the manager state, reexecute the process and deserialize the state again. This command is of little use except for debugging and package upgrades. Sometimes, it might be helpful as a heavy-weight daemon-reload. While the daemon is being reexecuted, all sockets systemd listening on behalf of user configuration will stay accessible.
> At the time of writing, the database had over 49 million records — but was growing by the hour.

This implies it's still going, so not related to the patched bug.

Which begs the question... how are they now, currently, scraping and adding people's phone numbers from public accounts?

I’ve worked on projects designed by architects. They had big, beautiful interfaces defined by types. When I implemented the interfaces, working systems magically appeared. But it was my job to implement the interfaces. They didn’t get organic adoption from other engineers. Nobody was voluntarily choosing to implement their system via the big beautiful interface. These projects ultimately failed.

Projects I’ve worked on that succeeded had small, comprehensible interfaces. Engineers can quickly understand how to use them and see what the benefits are. The pitch is “our service does this one thing you need,” not “build your entire project by implementing the interface of our type-safe general data processing system.”
The sad thing is they are quite obviously a narco state but nobody wants to call it. Same with Venezuela. Just waiting for Forbes magazine to do an article on Narco billionaires for the DEA to swoop in... Thats the Narcos (Netflix) meme right... If Forbes exposes you they shut you down.
The point is that it isn't comparable. It is likely that one of the reasons that the measured intel parts are so much faster is because of insecure optimizations. It would have been a much more interesting comparison to start from two SKUs with similar performance.
Advanced meaning powerful with lots of features and functionality. There's a good writeup on it here[1].

Fyi, never, ever use a monitor/TV in "vivid" setting. It sets the brightness, contrast and backlight settings to absurd values and clips a whole bunch of colors on the low and high luminance ranges resulting in a severely restricted dynamic range. A byproduct of this is that regular images appear super saturated and "vivid". Also, if you have an OLED or Plasma, vivid mode will almost certainly accelerate screen burn-in (I've even seen this happen on LCD TVs).
Not even root access would suffice. You'd need the user passcode.
Thanks, that's right. (I had the Lie algebras in mind with that statement. The Lie brackets are placed at the vertices in the construction.)

But the biggest laugh is the idea that people using drugs in public is a good idea.

Today, I went to get lunch, and these two dudes standing on line in front of me were so fucking stoned that I might have laughed at anything that happened to them. Beaten, robbed, arrested, stabbed, shot, whatever.

They were stumbling around, acting like everything belonged to them, not a care in the world, but clearly old enough to know better. Balding, gray hair, maybe fifty years old?

They could barely order a sandwich, and they needed to go home and come down off their high in the privacy of their own home.

If this is the new normal, some people are going to find out the hard way that it has nothing to do with what’s legal and what’s prohibited. It has to do with whether it’s a good idea to be anything other than completely sober in front of total strangers.
I built a very similar home NAS with the newer RockPro64 and a pair of 4TB HDDs in RIAD1, all on top of Debian[0]. I found OpenMediaVault to be overkill and kept me from really understanding what was going on. Plus there are a million guides to setting up SMB, rsync, Borg, etc.

The RockPro64 hardware is great. Very performant, especially when using the PCIe to SATA card instead of USB like the OP did.

That is a bizzare POV. Labor has no inherent value on its own, it is only valuable in contexts when it can be used to benefit others. Constructing those contexts often requires capital expenditure. Labor believing that capital is unnecessary makes about as much sense as sales believing engineering is unnecessary (because we bring in all the money) or vice versa.
That's due to no shortage of effort by the maintainers, however: one small bug can easily lead to memory safety problems.

Rust is great in this sense because you don't have to think about those issues.

That said, I'd pick rust over C for most projects simply because it's a nicer language to write IMHO. It feels like a modern high-level language with things like iterators, traits, etc, and it has a great package manager too. In comparison, I find writing C to be a huge chore, especially if you're doing much string processing
I worked in a media tech lab that experimented with how to tell stories in VR. The truth we encountered was that there was very little that VR did to enhance storytelling. There's a lot of hyperbolic arguments that sound good, but don't pan out in practice.

Reading Carmack's argument does make me wonder how much is objectively true and how much is because we're trying to bootstrap a generation of 2D interface users into 3D. Will this be one of those things that a generation of kids raised in VR will roll their eyes at? I don't know.
That should be sufficient for uber, I think.

The "this document is no longer maintained" notice is on everything that's no longer being updated regardless of whether or not there's actually a replacement. Sometimes it's actually still up to date, sometimes it's out of date and there's something else you should be looking at, and sometimes it's just plain out of date and the only newer source of information is a WWDC session from two years ago.
Somehow, that is a very real and serious problem. I suppose it is possible because of wobbly little stove burners or super-slippery pans.

This happened to a friend's kid. He pulled down a pot of spaghetti, severely burning his penis. While the family is struggling to deal with the medical issue, Massachusetts starts an intrusive and accusatory investigation.

Yeah, nah...

Probably more accurately maybe 10% of the population had 10 or so abandoned blog-starts. (I've never "been a blogger", but I'm sure there's remnants of at least 5 or 10 failed attempts on my part to become one - littered in archive.org, search engine indexes, and web hosting that's not yet expired...)
Apple’s documentation has always been patchy throughout the life of OS X IMHO.

It’s even more tragic when compared to MS who really has been the gold standard — I personally really dislike the programming model but at least it’s clear what’s available.
By managing services I really mean starting/stopping/checking status of/etc daemons. On a systemd distribution, you make a unit file that describes the daemon and use systemctl to manage it. It seems like sanity for deployment can be accomplished by delivering a template unit file and letting the distro maintainer or sysadmin customize it as required.

Networking is a little out of scope here - I'd guess that changing basic network configuration is something that's less frequent than the service management tasks.
Not the person you're replying to but hopefully useful information: I stopped using Google services incrementally over the past year or so. I started with this distro on my 5x (but had difficulty getting updates to work) and eventually moved to an iPhone. In the last few months I've switched to DuckDuckGo for search, Firefox for browsing and offline Open Street Maps for navigation. I still have a gmail account but I only check it about once per month, if that. I suspect I'll export my data from it soon and close it.

It was tricky in places and fiddly in others, but overall I'm happy that I'm doing a reasonable amount to keep Google out of my life without being inconvenienced now. A piecemeal approach certainly worked for me, so I'd certainly recommend that to minimise impact for anyone thinking of doing the same.
My response to that is to say that IBM belongs in a third group—the fundamentally systems-oriented company. Systems-oriented companies are capable of understanding and delivering the whole product without either the hardware or software seen as more important. This would include the likes of 1970s IBM, Apple, Sun, Atari, Commodore, etc.

Is it a scam though? A pyramid scam is self-similar: you sell to people who then expect to sell to people who expect to sell to people etc.

Things just keep getting better and better for AMD... it’s like once you have a little bit of luck things just keep snowballing from there.

They are on track to have an amazing year with CPUs that may take a very significant chunk of the cloud compute away from intel and then maybe even on the performance side.. it’s just fascinating that a company that almost died just a few years ago is now a big contender on multiple fronts.

Daily rsync alone isn't enough. Any data which gets corrupted on the main drive will, within 24 hours, also be corrupted on the 'backup'.

If you're confident enough that your computer won't get stolen, burn, or zapped by a power surge, then you can keep the same hardware setup you have, but:

1. Use borg backup (or restic) instead of rsync (so that you can restore to any day in the past, not only to yesterday)

2. Disconnect the 'backup' drive when it's not being used (so that it's protected from malware or fat fingers).

Even better would be:

3. Have a separate computer host the borg backups, and have it run 'borg serve' in append-only mode (so that, no matter what you do the main computer, you cannot destroy or corrupt past backups).

Even better:

4. Have this separate computer in a different physical location (so that you're protected from fire, theft and the like).
As a non native living in Mexico I'm not surprised by this but on the same hand I would say its actually not as bad as people think here, you see the cartels don't want tourists to stop coming as the locals wouldn't like it and it would effect the cartels bottom line, as long as you stay out their way the cartels will usually leave you alone, just as gangs in Chicago will most of the time.

Two Approaches to Learning
after being an iphone user for years i switched to Android when apple released iphone 7.
up to iphone 6s the innovation was worth upgrading but since then 'flagship' devices have been adding just gimmicks while charging 4 digit amounts.
I got my OnePlus 5T for 499 and two years later it works like it did on its first day. Unlike iphones that would slow down after exactly 1 year when a new iphone was released.
right now 400-500 dollar phones do everything a phone is supposed to do and lack nothing compared to flagships. you can tell most people agree with this judging by weak sales of new releases. customers are holding on to their phones for 2-3 years and rightfully so.
smartphone frenzy is over and looks like 'few hundred dollars' is the new budget people think its worth.
