> You can run gunzip < /mnt/brokensystem/var/log/messages.1.gz from that other working OS to read text logs; you can also run journalctl --root /mnt/brokensystem to read journald logs.

It's subtle, and you've accidentally missed it like many do - you made an assumption that everything logs through journald. On my personal system where I do not have rsyslog (aka trying to live the journald life) I have non-journald text logging for: httpd, sa (sar/sysstat), lightdm, audit, atop, Xorg, cups, fdsync and samba. If we just stick to httpd, sa and samba (most folks know how those work) it shows how logging is way more complex than what is captured in the journal - these apps by design maintain their own logs.

So now you launch your rescue ISO (let's assume modern sysrescuecd which has journalctl) and get your filesystems mounted, you have to employ two different techniques - journalctl for that single-use format and then your traditional find/grep skills for everything else. You don't know why it crashed, how it crashed and are on a fishing expedition. Was it an RPM upgrade? (logged to yum.log or rpm.log, not journald) Was it update-initramfs running out of disk space truncating your initrd? (sometimes logged to journald depending on distro, sometimes not). Don't know until you start following breadcrumbs, find/grep is the superior toolset (much like the trebuchet is the superior siege weapon).

It's not that you cannot do it, it's that journald-only (no rsyslog) forces using a specific method with specific tools to access what should be extremely easy to access data. Keeping logging all in the same format (text) is what I want, it's not that I don't know how to use journalctl; I don't want to use journalctl, it's a pig in lipstick.

> (Not to mention UNIX has log files that have been in a binary format since time immemorial, like utmp and wtmp.)

I agree with this, they belong over in /var/lib/ somewhere and those files bug me, always have. "Just because these other guys did it" is however a logical fallacy, they are (IMO) just as wrong because they're more like database files than they are logs in my opinion. (the secure/auth.log is more a "log")
It’s not “whataboutism” to ask what might be motivating people to care about a particular issue thousands of miles away when they don’t pay any attention to human rights issues on their own border.
There is nice blog post summing up what's cool about Unison[1]

This article does little to explain why. Mostly Japan is explained due to importing from USA and Germany.
Math only has to be consistent. It doesn't have to have any relation to physics or "reality". I can start with 1 + 1 = 3(favorite example of "common sense" people when they point out something inconsistent) and other "nonsensical" statements and derive a bunch of results to make up a new theory within math. It might have jack-all to do with physics as we know it, but far as math is concerned, so long as the derived results are correct, then the derived theory is valid. The question is whether or not this new theory is interesting. Often times - not.

Some physicists who express their dislike of string theory are not making a statement about math. Roughly they are saying the theory is more math-y rather than it's physics-y.

It's similar to how some people dislike "soupy lasagna". They are not making a statement about soup. They are not saying soup is bad. They mean they like their lasagna be more like lasagna and less like soup.
I wrestle with this subject. On the one hand, I hate that I’m being manipulated by artificial constructs. But on the other hand, a lot of these are harmless and fun, and sometimes even useful.

I mean, fiction stories are equally a waste of time, right? A good one manipulates your emotions, gives you something to latch onto, makes you read to the end, and is ultimately something you could have done without. You could say this of pretty much anything that doesn’t fulfill your basic needs.
The Reasonable Ineffectiveness of Defining Mathematics
I think Beej's Guide to Network Programming is IMO hands down the best resource I've come across:
https://beej.us/guide/bgnet/

It also doubles as a very great introduction to C, if that something you're interested in. It's funny because both C and socket level programming are often a barrier, or at least they were for me. It's an attestant to the quality of Beej's guide that he introduces both simultaneously, and makes it very approachable.

This is one of those sources that helped me disproportionately grow as a programmer in a short period of time.
Haydn's Head
These are two different things that only on surface seems to be similar. The censuses performed by governments happen every few years (should be 10 years for majority of countries, if I'm not mistaken), while telemetry gathered by software happens almost on daily basis if not all the time. Then, depending on place, census may include every adult citizen or just representative part of the population and at the same it might be compulsory for those who were selected or who are required to participate.

Telemetry involves everyone by default and it's hardly optional unless you decide to actively fight it - speaking about Microsoft Windows here. The choices offered by Microsoft doesn't offer users true control over data they gather and process; hell, that actually applies to other big companies as well - you have just the illusion you are in control of what they managed to collect about you and the vague assurances, promises that they aren't up to no good with that stuff.

Government will most likely benefit from planning its politics having the data gathered from census while Microsoft might or might not use the telemetry data and honestly, seeing what they did with Windows 10 over course of all its releases, it doesn't appear they do actually use that telemetry data for anything. They don't even bother with users, power users opinions regarding the features that are causing issues in Windows.

"Wine 6.11 or a more recent version. As of June 19, 2021, this requires using a development release."

That's an annoying problem with Wine. I submitted a bug report on the released version, and it was rejected because it wasn't on the latest development version. It's hard to install Wine in a local directory, so installing a version that didn't come with the Linux distro is iffy. (Someone is going to tell me it's really easy, just type all these command line commands. That's not what the instructions [1] say.)

I don’t think it’s a good idea.

By adding so much surface area so high up you create a lever for winds to create torque to cape size the vessel.

The way sailing boats circumvent this issue is by having a big long metallic fin at the bottom of the boat(called keel). The keel counteracts the torque of the wind when the boat rotates and brings it back to a steady position.

The problem is that ports have fixed depth so if you modify an existing cargo ship with a keel it will no longer fit into the commercial ports

Thank you! It's one of the things mildly infuriating about learning to cook, especially from recipes. They don't quantify everything. What's "high heat" exactly? What is a "pinch" of salt, and how does it differ from a "dash" of it? Are these volume measurements or weights? When it says "sprinkle some X" how much should you sprinkle? What's a spoonful? Are they referring to a US teaspoon (approx. 5mL), or somebody else's spoon? How much oil is in a "drizzle"? What about a "drop"? Are we talking about the metric drop (0.05mL)? How many grams is a "medium potato"? Or an onion? I can get onions in sizes that vary by 3X, but the recipe just says chop up an onion. Maddening!
so in conclusion, programming computers is art?
Hi, if you don't mind would you please elaborate on life risk because of coffee? Is it kidney related?

I can drink up to 4-5 mugs of ground coffee a day. The mug is exactly the size of SBUX's venti size. It's not regular, I can handle a day with only 1 mug or none at all on very rare occasion. Lucky me, my SO and friends help me with reminding to drink a lot of water.
Yeah, prices are still ridiculous. Apparently it takes a couple months for the aforementioned price drops in futures to trickle down. If HD bought it for 100, they ain't gonna sell it for 50 regardless of what sawmills are doing(unless of course forced to with overstock and such).
> believing Pizzagate is as dumb as thinking unarmed people in a Capitol is an insurrection.

There was zero evidence and zero existence of ANYTHING to substantiate "Pizzagate" while there was certainly some percentage of those "unarmed people" at the Capitol there to overthrow the election results.

I hope you realize how your efforts to "both sides" really distort both your message and reality.
I'll give you an a look into the company I work for ( a small saas thats already 15 years old). We constantly look to upgrade our systems and processes starting from colocated servers finally to docker and aws hosting with testing automation. We've grown or QA team and automated testing team greatly and always allow room for better tools and processes. I work as UX and product as well as some development. 6 years ago we migrated to angular and now we are onto React and storybook and several other tools that help us build better software. The backend team has gone from DIY php to symphony then to java and finally to kotlin. We have a weekly book club where we go through one chapter of a tech or business process book. I guess from all of this I can suggest you find a (usually smaller) team that's responsible and willing to make the job interesting yet make sense from a business perspective. Personally developer happiness is a significant (though not majority) part of that equation including pay. I hope this has been helpful at least in providing ideas that may work for you. Good luck

Regulation isn't the only problem. The steam turbine of a nuclear plant by itself is more expensive than solar today. This is a similar turbine to that in a coal plant. So if coal plants are more expensive than solar, so is nuclear, even if there are no regulations.

The problem isn't regulation, it's that any large infrastructure project in America is crazy expensive. Nuclear power plants are expensive because of regulation, but ev even more so for the same reason that bridges and subways are crazy expensive to build.

Solar & wind are built in factories and so don't have this problem. People are trying to build nuclear plants in factories, which might be the solution.
The complexity is buried in the huge work the OpenBSD devs make to keep the kernel and the base system small, elegant and consistent.

I read your comment more as a tribute to the excellent work of the OpenBSD team than a denial of the thesis of the complexity of the init process.

This is often part of the domain control also though, and producers are audited to avoid it. But there is a real range and this also depends on the product, heavily.
Another problem with Unicode is far too many symbols for different Unicode characters are too similar looking, or even identical.

Then there are the Unicode symbols that convey semantic information rather than just the appearance. These are an abomination and should never have been put in Unicode, but here we are anyway.

I don't really care whether you call this cultural imperialism or not. What matters is that a whole industry can use the same standard worldwide. It's the same as metric system. We already have to deal with imperial system, imagine how much more painful would it be if every country used its own measurement system or its one calendar.
If you search around, there's a few implementations of a virtual TPM around. Vmware does it, Parallels also, and there are also some open source ones. I would guess someone might find a way to graft that into Boot Camp.
I guess I worry sometimes because my shop is in an old industrial building, and nobody else works there, so I'm always thinking that if I was injured and unconscious, I could definitely die. But then, the problem with machining is it's unavoidable. There's usually no other way to make the part.

I'd be interested to look at statistics, but I always have the feeling that the table saw sits basically at the top of the pyramid when it comes to chopping bits off, then it's followed by all the other woodworking stuff (spindle moulder comes to mind), then you get the metalworking stuff.
Extortion, protection racket, "normal" ransom all done in cash, you think criminal take traceable wire transfer? Maybe we are make a ban on cash? Persons with nothing to hide should not fear government seeing theyre transactions?

Financial literacy already is of concern in fiat currency, so no surprising that here we have many people who are not very knowing of what they do. "Some people do bad things with this thing" cannot make excuses for "ban this thing". Having any ability for moving money out of sights of government, out of control of government, it can be in bad employment or it can be in good employment. Having any ability for moving money out of control for governments is the point of cryptocurency.
This perspective is just so alien to me. I don't understand how anyone can casually express such vulgar celebration of the state, knowing the misery that it inflicts on the most vulnerable in society, with money as its chief method of lifelong emotional torment.

Moreover, your predictions seem completely bombastic to me. Has there ever been a case where governments banned something and the resulting black market settled at a cheaper equilibrium? I can't think of one.
"Cheddar cheese" has been produced in America for hundreds of years - the technique was brought over by English colonists. There are many different types of "cheddar" in the US now, including several different regional cheddars (think Vermont cheddar and Wisconsin cheddar). Some are more like English cheddar, some are quite different. But it would be silly to insist that only cheddar from Cheddar in England can be called "cheddar."
and surprisingly this approach works incredibly well from my personal experience.

C, Forth, you can throw Rust and C++ in there if we're talking runtime simplicity. Full-on Lisp requires a runtime that does GC, interns symbols, decodes machine words into pointers, bignums, etc. You can implement a constrained version of the language (GOAL comes to mind) that leaves some or all of these out, but you'd lose the convenience of the full Lisp and compatibility with programs written in it.
You're using the word 'authentic' to refer to what should properly be called 'traditional'.

For example. I was watching a few videos by Isaac Toups, a Cajun chef. Being Cajun myself, I was curious how he'd approach the cuisine. At first I saw a few of the things he was doing and guessed he wasn't from the Lafayette area, but in fact he is. So I watched his techniques more closely.

I determined his cooking technique to be authentically Cajun, but not traditionally Cajun. He incorporated techniques from his roots, to make new dishes. This is how we can have Cajun pizza, Cajun spaghetti.

Tradition is making what your grandma made, the same way she made it. Authenticity is making what your grandma would love to make if she were still young and spry.

It's worth discussing how authentic a restaurant is. Taco Bell is most certainly not authentic Mexican, and different Mexican restaurants can be more or less authentic even while neither make traditional dishes.

Restaurants can be purposefully inauthentic, I think fusion is as far as this can go while still remaining identifiabally ethnic. I recall a Neapolitan-style pizza joint that would put whatever you wanted on their pizzas that still had that crispy, charred crust. They didn't pretend to be traditional or even authentic. It was all about great pizza, and while it wasn't the best pizza in the city, I greatly enjoyed many meals there.
Video games definitely help develop overall computer literacy. The basic computer skills that are missing in folks who didn't grow up around computers are so foundational they might surprise you:
- Filesystem basics, aka "where does a file go when you save it, and how do you find it again?". Do you know how many people just save everything to the documents folder, and scroll through the list of every file they've ever accessed every time?
- Window management. I clicked on something, and now my document has disappeared. Help!
- Drag-and-drop. Particularly on a laptop with a trackpad, this requires a fuckton of coordination.

Ocean State Job Lot is fun. Also in New England I love the Marden's business model. As far as I can tell from the advertising it really is a family business that's hit its scaling limits at about 15 stores -- when you walk in you see whatever remnant stuff a member of the Marden family thought people would like to buy when they went shopping for remnant inventory. Like they list the names of people who buy this stuff on their web site: https://www.mardens.com/sell-to-us/

They even have a special type of store dedicated to flooring and I feel like this reflects the family structure somehow (like a niece or nephew is really into flooring or something). It's just such interesting retail.

Crikey. MCAS all over again. Something at Boeing is very, very out of control.
As a complete systemd newbie, and being pretty new to Linux, I found the documentation well-written, organised and pretty easy to understand. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27653283
> Systemd was forced down our throats by Red Hat […]

That's a very emotional take on the whole thing. As I saw it, systemd happened and the Ubuntu developers eventually concluded "well, that's better than upstart, let's use that." Plenty of other distros made the same rational decisions. Meanwhile, the GNOME developers thought "great, people are converging around a modern init system, we can actually integrate with it now," and so they did.

Also, GNOME is not under Red Hat's control. They contribute a lot, but the leadership rarely has a majority of Red Hat employees. While a large number of contributors work there (of course they would - Red Hat is big!), the majority are - again - from elsewhere. I can think of plenty of recent features that people assume are Red Hat driven and I can assure you they definitely are not.

What your take is doing is discounting a very large number of peoples' wisdom, time, and effort, by claiming their contributions are made as helpless victims of some conspiracy or as evil supporters of it. Both of these ideas are harmful.
In regards to your first sentence :

The text was long, you probably missed it. It do now preach moral relativism. I preach against civilizational value judgment relatively with one's own.

As I wrote : I argue against making value judgments and standards for "civilizations", even concerning dead children. It is dangerous. It is safer for all to reason factually with precisely defined groups and situations, limited in time and space.

---

I don't argued to reject industrial approach wholesale either, as long as it's voluntary. As for itself, it has to be changed, sure, it must evolve, and get out of agriculture, IMHO. It's still an extremely useful tool in humanity's survival toolkit.

In regards to the rest and to borrow your metaphor:

My parents voted one way. I voted the reverse way quite recently, due to some ills you mentioned. After working around the planet for a while, I also didn't share some of the values anymore.

Take this take from someone who's both an emigrant and re-emigrant: as with political votes, people vote either when promises are made, or because they want to effect change. One way or another.

So there you go if we're to debate that.. But I believe it's another subject entirely.
In a statement Friday, Boeing said it “remains fully focused on safety as our highest priority throughout 777X development.”
