I was of the impression that Prions are notoriously impervious to heat. They were said to withstand typical disinfecting protocols using an autoclave (250°F for 15-20min). Quick source:

> To destroy a prion it must be denatured to the point that it can no longer cause normal proteins to misfold. Sustained heat for several hours at extremely high temperatures (900°F and above) will reliably destroy a prion.

BTRFS can do after-the-fact deduplication (with much better performance than ZFS dedup) and copy-on-write files. And you can turn snapshots into editable file systems.

Wow I didn't expect a reductio ad hitlerum in this thread.

What is the "effect of Amazon" anyway? Surely Amazon has done a lot of good. It has created jobs, it has changed how people buy things. It has also done a lot of bad. It has made it harder for small indepdendent businesses, it has engaged in anticompetitive practices. How am I supposed to "sum up" Amazon's "overall effect"?

Truthfully, I have no idea if Amazon is "good" or "bad" or "cruel" and neither does anyone else. The people making these claims confidently are posers.

Every time a Factorio thread makes it to HN I feel like a fully recovered meth addict who suddenly has their old dealer knocking at their door:

--

Dealer: "Hey? You there? I got some meth for you."

Me: "Go away! I don't want any!"

Dealer: "Oh now don't say that. You remember how good it is? I know you do."

Me: "I can't, I can't afford it, the price is too high."

Dealer: "What? Come on, it's free! You already paid for it!.

Me: "I'll lose my job, I can't, just go away!"

Dealer: "Your JOB? This IS your job. Open the damn door, THE FACTORY MUST GROW"

Me: ::cowers in the closet chanting please leave please leave please leave::

--

Also it was never good. It was more like a mind virus. Like the sort of problem or project at work you can't stop thinking about until it's done. Only with Factorio, it's never done. Never.

My best defense against it are other video games I can stop & start when needed. Or booting up my VPN connection and picking a work task from my back log until the cravings go away.
> Linux will not be forever

Linux is thirty years old. And Linux isn't something from whole cloth, it's a Unix, it didn't have some legal and technical baggage that UNIX® brand Unix had but it's a Unix. And Unix is over sixty years old.

We may very well be done. Unix isn't the best conceivable Operating System, but it seems like it's good enough, and in being good enough it became so enormously popular that any new alternative has to be night-and-day better or why bother?

I'm reminded of the Two's Complement Integer thing. Historically it was unclear if this was the "best" way for integers to work. Hardware existed, and sold well decades ago, with some other ideas for how integers could be represented and calculated. But, gradually, over time, even if Two's Complement wasn't clearly the best, it was clearly the most popular, and the others weren't clearly better so why fight it? Sure enough, "Two's Complement Integers" get to just be how integers work by default in newer languages.

If Linus and all the subsystems people were screaming "Nothing but C, under any circumstances" then perhaps you could imagine a competitor to Linux comes along in ten, twenty, thirty years. But so long as they remain open to changes that actually have good results, they're going to stay on top.

For anyone disturbed by the thought of a body being turned with a hook, consider who that person is since they died.
My perspective is that they’re a memory in whoever remembers. They have lasting impacts to varying degrees. Now they are a collection of elements, much of which supports many other living things. I care that the body is processed in a way towards most ecological reciprocity, whatever that may be for that region of the world.

Nowadays most of these self-hosted apps run on Docker containers as a wonderful abstraction.

For example, in my company we have self hosted Metabase on App Engine Flex. It is written with Clojure and runs on the JVM. I know nothing about these things, yet I was able to make it run with high availability.

You could also run it on Kubernetes or other similar options elsewhere.

Quite Right. Forgive me I was recalling my younger days working at a patent law firm in DC. The attorneys would joke that if a patent examiner turned down your application, you would basically bully them into changing it. If that didn’t work you could just file endless appeals until they eventually said yes.
You can use kdialog or zenity to run a standalone file chooser from the command line. For applications that want to integrate an external chooser, they can use the flatpak file chooser portal. Of course the caveat with these is, your application can no longer put custom widgets in the file chooser, because it is now an external process.
Yes. But better .. okay kidding.

It is the same use case. c# is slightly more modern and lib space is cleaned up. I do not know your age, but long time ago Microsoft messed with Java and got into huge legal troubles. As a consequence they developed .NET with the language designer who did before TurboPascal and afterwards Typescript. It is a bit more optimized for productivity but so are many other languages nowadays.
My understanding is it’s not an OS level feature but new features in the not yet released swift playgrounds update.

I think a lot of it is that modern languages (python to some extent, rust Julia etc) implimented many more of their features themselves. Julia, for example, has some basic stuff defined in C, but 70% of the code is just Julia. Since most of the changes between releases are in the language, they don't introduce new syntax or make the language feel messier. They just slightly expand what the language can do easily.
Not surprising since those are all Sinclair stations just repeating canned statements.

What’s really scary is when mainstream media outlets from a variety of corporate entities all repeat the exact same talking points that are exactly in sync with one political party.

Myths about event-driven architecture
You should keep an eye out for S&Box! It's the successor to the popular Garry's Mod.
Garry's Mod is, imo, the sandbox and modding game and I think that S&Box will be even better. It's based on the Source 2 engine, and the main developer Garry has collected a lot of experience with GMod.

While GMod mods are based on Lua, S&Box uses C#, which is an awesome choice, imo. C# is a bit more verbose than Lua, but it probably enables mods of higher quality.

It's not out yet, but some keys get distributed to chosen people. Sadly, I'm not one of those.

Yeah; from what I can tell, Brave's history is basically a long list of:

1. Do something shady and/or incompetent to make money

2. Ignore an internet backlash calling them out for it

3. "Fix" said shady thing

4. From then on out, aggressively deny doing that thing everywhere it's mentioned, without acknowledging that it used to be the case

Brave seems like an adequate browser for some niche use cases and probably has some cool tech. I do not trust the company or people behind it to have my best intentions in mind.

It definitely feels like they like to constantly push boundaries, and not in a good way.

Would these replace the standard C versions of the coreutils? Would development efforts cease, or reduce, on the C versions (factoring in the little active development they currently see).

I ask because there was a recent discussion [0] on Python's crypto library integrating Rust code, and the fact that this limits the platforms that can be supported. Poettering also rejected Rust code from the systemd utilities for the same reason [1]. One of the main reasons I love the GNU/Linux ecosystem is that I have been able to run it on a variety of old and esoteric hardware. I don't wish to see this arbitrarily taken away, in the future. C is a great language at least in the fact that every architecture I have ever heard of has a (mostly) standards-compliant C compiler. A little finagling may be needed to get code to compile, but it's rarely a project stopping issue.

> Dedup isn't worth it

To add to that, ZFS dedup is a lie and you should forget its existence unless you have a very specific scenario of being a SAN with a massive amount of RAM, and even then, you had better be damn sure.

I really wish ZFS had either an option to store the Dedup Table on a NVMe like Optane, or to do an offline deduplication job.

I kind of wonder - maybe it's a sign of what a company like MS is, and its strengths. i.e. they are focusing on being a good platform/services company, and end user UI/UX is really more of an afterthought for them. If somehow they end up with a good Apple-like UI/UX, would that be a bad sign the company is losing its focus or getting its culture muddled?

UnRaid and Synology user here and I completely agree with all your points. The knowledge that at worst I will lose the data on just 1 disk (or 2 if I fail during a rebuild) is very calming. If not for UnRaid there is no way I could manage the size of the media volume I maintain (from a time, energy, and money perspective). I mean if you know ZFS well and trust yourself then more power to you but UnRaid and friends fill a real gap.
But that is my point. Print the string "-e\n" in a portable way. I can't think of a way. For GNU coreutils you would need to do `echo - -e` but on a complaint echo you would need to do `echo -e`. So maybe it is portable for some strings. But it can't be used for all cases. Even something as simple as outputting a user entered string can't be done because you don't know if it is handled specially.
That made me laugh. Can people treat such people seriously when they obviously aren't?

Dumb, aggressive promotion is characteristic of "trendy hipster projects" usually abandoned once the "cred" harvest is finished, and people involved go on.
Simplicity. There's a lot of complexity in ZFS I'd rather not depend on, and because it does so many things it's a big investment and liability to switch to.

While I understand why it would be useful in a corporate setting, for personal use I've found the combination of LUKS+LVM+SnapRAID to work well and don't see the benefit of switching to ZFS. Two of those are core Linux features, and SnapRAID has been rock solid, though thankfully I haven't tested its recovery process, but it seems straightforward from the documentation. Sure I don't have the real-time error correction of ZFS and other fancy features, but most of those aren't requirements for a personal NAS.
Editions can only change the very front-end of the compiler, and the standard library must be able to be used in all editions, so it’s not really possible to change on a per-edition basis. There’s only one copy of it globally unlike other Rust packages.
