Can someone in the kernel dev space give a longer explanation for this?

This looks to me like Red Hat assigning a CVE to something patched a long time ago. Is this just record keeping to label security issues with CVEs or has Red Hat left this unpatched for 17 months? (Or something else?)
No, I can’t think of any simple guidelines. It’s a tingling sense you get after 10-20 years of doing it that says “I should probably make this simpler and direct” or “I should probably make this more general/layered”.

I think the sense is mostly developed not by successful designs but by mistakes and the subsequent refactorings.

The only “simple” advice I have is that in FP the simple and decoupled seems to happen without added work, while in OO it’s quite a cognitive overhead to avoid tangling things up. So my only insight is perhaps “make everything simple functions and shy away from state whenever possible”.
Did I hurl an epithet? I'm confused here.
> because from their point of view the police are the people most likely to assault or kill them or their children on the street

This is a delusion - they are at least 2 orders of magnitude more likely to be assaulted or killed by another (non-police) black person.

This is yet another scenario where a relatively minor source of risk gets vastly disproportionate coverage and almost everyone falls for it.

ETA: it’s funny that this straightforward statement of objective fact is being so poorly received.
We need more self surveillance tools we’re in control of.

The job market is not zero sum. Immigrants do not take jobs from locals or drive wages down. Why do you think immigrant-rich cities like NYC and SF have higher incomes and more robust job markets than places like rural WV with few immigrants? Millions of Americans work for companies founded by immigrants, or on projects started by immigrants. Millions of Americans work in offices that were only set up because companies wanted to take advantage of the concentration of talent in places like NY or SF that only exists because of immigration. These Americans wouldn't have their jobs without immigration.
I have never been to NYC so I am certainly not saying anything about the problem in NYC.
Doesn't it come from mobile-first design?
If you have a group of people upset and disenfranchised enough to leave their homes to protest, it doesn't seem like beating them, shooting their eyes out or gassing them is going to defuse or better the situation. It seems that rarely does this disincentive the protesters. This isn't making anyone more safe though I'm not sure that's the purpose of the riot police.

They are already out protesting because they don't feel they have a voice any other way. If the state they feel doesn't hear them decides to attack them (in many cases unprovoked) they'll run to the next block and burn the city down. What else are they to do?
They're not, because legal justification and department policy are different. If, for example, someone is threatening people with a knife and is close enough to use it, the law usually allows a police officer to shoot that person without taking any other actions.

Department policy can require the use of specific tactics to maximize opportunities to resolve situations with minimal force. An example policy would be to attempt to separate the subject from bystanders, delay until backup arrives, negotiate verbally, then use less lethal weapons, only resorting to firearms if someone is about to be stabbed.

Finding a New Home for Conveyor
I too was having a pretty decent time, setting up an apartment I’d moved into right before the pandemic hit my city.

Then recently I traveled and stayed with my GF for three weeks, and now she is here for two weeks, and I’m more tired than ever.

After this my parents will want me to visit, but I will be taking some time to myself in between and have asked my girlfriend to go home a week early.

I want to get back into my nice routine of waking up and making coffee and breakfast and working out, and reading before bed, and working on personal projects after work.

I fear, as much as I like her that she may be far less independent than I am. And it’s a bit troubling. But for now I am just looking forward to being on my own again for a while.

I do miss the office though, I had a nice ten minute walking commute although am happy to be less distracted at work.

It’s all ups and downs really.

I hope GP and everyone else adversely affected by this comes out strong on the other side and is able to receive the help they need or overcome the challenges they face. We’ve all got them, but it’s just different magnitudes on different dimensions of an incredibly complex space.

And spilling my coffee twice would give me a conniption! It’s locally roasted organic gosh darn it!
I don't think that's an equivalent substitution. Indian Americans are by a huge margin the richest demographic group in the country, and black Americans are by a significant margin the poorest.
I was an H1B and it was a terrible experiencing having to constantly move around.
That's called the 2nd Amendment. "A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a Free State ..."

By "well-regulated," the Framers simply meant people who are well trained (unrelated to State regulation). Militias are clearly defined as people freely coming together to protect their communities (not police).

The entire idea was that well-trained community militias would protect their communities against crime and State tyranny.

Cool project! You posted a comparison to Clickhouse on the front page. Do you have any insights on how QuestDB compares performance-wise to PrestoDB?

Also, PrestoDB is known to be manageable at scale, for example as part AWS Athena. What are you thoughts on building out an Athena-like service using QuestDB?
Definitely interested-- a site with an image heavy workload such as yours is the perfect testbed for this sort of exploration.
Protesting is a crime now?

What world am I in Christ. You got a bunch of people protesting. The cops put their boots to their throats. And you’re hemming and hawing about them “breaking the law actually” by protesting.

I can’t even begin to see your perspective. These jackbooted thugs suck and all this deflection is weird as hell. You don’t need to beat the living shit out of someone to arrest them that shouldn’t be radical.

The Police thing is just a symptom of deeper ills. But I think if these ills can be remedied, the rest of the patient has a greater chance of surviving.
Firefox on iOS uses the Safari rendering engine - but it does work in Safari, so there's probably something weird going on.
You seem to be confusing “protests” and “riots”
Name collision in general is not good, but also in this specific case they've had issues being confused with the game company called Riot, so I can't imagine they would want to go with an already-used name again if they could help it.
At this point I think I should just switch to Firefox. It's just that Firefox still (unfairly) lags behind in performance because it's a Mac.
As the caller you can always choose to write lines=list(process(f)) if your use case requires it. If process(f) returned a list though, you wouldn't be able to avoid the potentially large memory allocation if you only needed to iterate over the results.

No, most [citation needed] fonts cost money (assuming you mean "free as in beer"). Also just because a font is free as in beer (ie maybe it's shipped with your OS or something) doesn't necessarily mean that it's free to use on your website: everything is still copyright by default in most jurisdictions. Some fonts provide you with a license just like open source software (which may or may not be an open source or free software license, there are plenty of fonts that license themselves specifically for webfonts and charge a fee, or something along those lines).
‘Magic: The Gathering’ pulls racist playing cards from popular game
There is a lot to it—sometimes it's just luck.

I started live streaming one project pre-COVID. Then when lockdowns started, I used the experience I gained there to do my Ansible 101 series, and it kind of snowballed a bit from there.

I also have a media production and communications background (from college / post-college days), which helps a lot, because even if the tech changes, the techniques don't.

I started out doing video with a mini VHS camera that I put into an old Performa Mac through a TV capture card and I forget what NLE I used at that time. Then I jumped to MiniDV with some nice Canon SD equipment and got some good audio gear and worked from a G3/G4 with Final Cut Express for a while, before I stopped doing much video work for a decade.

Skip forward a few years and now the whole world's 1080p minimum/4K often, and lighting and technique is way more important—but knowing the basics from back in the day means I can still make decent quality video with the equipment I have available.
Note that Red Hat, SUSE, and Canonical all don't use them. They maintain their own kernel trees with their modifications. These kernel teams have different priorities:

* stable ABI within a timespan (RH, SUSE)

* feature backports based on customer demand (all three)

* out of tree goop (Canonical)

I've also heard from others (though notably, not folks specifically at these companies) that longterm kernels are iffier than regular stable kernels because people come out of the woodwork to push weird stuff for longterm kernels, which destabilizes things more than with regular stable kernels.
DevOps Weekly RoundUp
While this is true and H1B can be reformed, it's still a better option than having your dreams crushed because now you're stuck in your home country where job perspectives aren't great.
do you know how expensive is to bring someone on an H1B? the relocation itself is >50k. The salary has to be in the same range as the other workers in the same position. It’s literally more expensive to hire someone on an H1b. why would big tech so this if average Joe is qualified and could do the Job?
Yeah, there's a number of ways to reduce GIF/PNG8 sizes.

I started writing Web sites in the mid-'90s, where a page was supposed to be about 30K (quaint, huh?).

The prevailing wisdom, then, was no dither, adaptive palette, and reduce the color palette until it hurts, then back up one.

Right now, thorium breeder reactors seem the only thing.
This comment is frustrating for all the reasons pointed out, as well as another:

Cops do their crimes with impunity. If a non-cop harms you or kills someone, it is at least possible for them to be caught, then brought to justice.

Depending on circumstance, one can combat or run away from a non-cop threat without being hunted down and kidnapped. Hell, even a non-cop street gang would have to recognize you and have the energy to come after you, vs. the cops that have the full force of government behind them.

Cop violence does not equal non-cop violence.
> It is so easy to dismiss people, but seriously -- if millions are complaining -- just accept there is probably something there.

Millions of people complaining about "Muslim terrorism" led to you being inappropriately placed on a no-fly list. Millions of people complaining about "the Jew" led to significant and severe atrocities (plural...).

Millions voted for Trump. Millions voted for Clinton. Millions voted for Bernie. And millions will vote for the next Stalin, Hitler, or Mao.

I don't disagree that there is a problem with policing but I can't conceive of a more evil world where millions of people are just listened to without question.

> Why should they hire someone who can walk to a competitor at the drop of a hat

Because free markets are better ? or so has been the message by US towards other countries
I agree. I guess the part I'm trying to explore is, when given a stereotype, whether the group that is the target of that stereotype seeks to try and change the stereotype, or exploit the stereotype for personal gain. It seems that a lot of white Americans, and (likely) a smaller number of black Americans, made a lot of money in the 90s (and probably today) exploiting the stereotype of urban black communities having a lot of violence. That is not to say that the violence was not already there, whether police violence, or gang violence, or violence of some other form - simply that this portrayal of black Americans became pretty common in the 90s. Contrast this with earlier shows like the Jeffersons, Sanford and Sons, Cosby Show, Benson, etc. Maybe it was a necessary step to go through in exposing real issues, but the way it was presented (I think) established a new stereotype that many young, black American men are armed. I think this stereotype is likely a factor in the way some police officers behave - fearfully, and full of adrenaline - which too often leads to unwarranted and unacceptable violence.

According to the "The Largest Public Statement of Economists in History": a carbon tax and dividend [0].

The technology of markets is one of price signals and feedback loops, generally on time horizons between nano-second HFTs and quarterly earnings reports. Ecological events, occurring on the scale of decades or centuries, require governments (or other forms of collective action) to create artificial price signals for those externalities.

At any rate, I agree that there's nothing wrong with this initiative. Every bit potentially helps; I don't see this diverting resources from other efforts.

If Github sponsors proves to be a viable and scalable solution for OSS developers, this could spike a huge boost in quantity and quality of OSS.

We've seen a similar effect with YouTube - by providing a monetization path for creators, it attracts talent, and allows them to finance a lifestyle around it. And it's a self-accelerating cycle - the growth in quality and quantity increases demand for the content which increases the quality and quantity.
I’ll grant you that HTTP and HTML technologies did come out of CERN, but access to clean water and a sewage system amongst other things is what lifted you out of poverty. It’s no good having access to cat memes if you’re dying from dysentery. Developed countries were out of extreme poverty long before the internet and WWW was invented.

Besides, issues like climate change and resource contention will disproportionately affect impoverished countries. I think combatting those issues is a higher priority than investigating particle physics with no immediate or apparent benefit. Would you rather use that money for a particle accelerator or give everyone access to clean water?
> while I as a white person in the west define myself more closely with smaller ethnic and national groups than with whiteness as a whole.

Sure, but how do others define you? Consider that tech companies and activists are trying to redefine the meaning of racism to allow others to discriminate against you based on the color of your skin.
I strongly disagree. Footage from protest after protest shows police firing weapons into crowds, causing permanent injuries with zero accountability.

As far as I am aware, no active police officers have been killed by protesters. (One was killed by a right wing extremist.) Meanwhile, several protesters have been killed by police at these protests. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Floyd_protests#Violence...

The problems that the crowds are complaining about are very deeply rooted and cannot be summed up in a single social media post. I won't take the time to sit and lecture you.

I can understand being overwhelmed if you're only now tuning in. But there's a ton of opinions and views if you'd only pay attention. Take the time to learn about the problems instead of reflexively whining that the police are the easiest/only solution.
