Automatic multi-zone failover to survive az cashes without outages seems to be commonly based on optimism, as people don't effectively drill for it regularly. There are always bugs in it that need ironing out. So people just pay the price in operating costs, keeping replicas running on other AZs, and the resulting sw/distributed system/infra complexity, but but don't actually make the last steps to reap any payoff. It's because single-az outages are rare enough and that still leaves relatively common aws-wide outages you face and your self inflicted footgun outages. And drilling for the az failover can be scary and risky if you haven't done it before and are already in production.

AZ redundancy is like storage backups or backup power, if you don't regularly test it you don't have it.

Really? Only nazis care about the sexualisation of children? Everyone who’s center left or center right is fine with child sexualisation? I think you need to rethink your definitions
I love brutalism but please avoid redesigning your app or website. UI changes should be treated the same as API changes. Not something to do willy-nilly.

I have never in my whole live liked any change in design. (Blender might be an exception but that is cause they actually care about the workflow of existing professional users while nearly all other software is optimized for gaining new users)

It is much more expensive to gain new customers than to keep existing customers. Don't be a prick to existing ones just to chase some fashion. Sadly winning new customers is what most businesses optimize on.

Usually in B my computer will lock up before the OOM killer is ran. I spam alt + sysreq + f and then wait 30 minutes hoping that the OOM killer will eventually kill a process and I pray it doesn't take down X and close everything I had open.

I am not running systemd-oomd or any other user space oom killer runner though.
I have a question for you. When you are in bad mood does it go away with distraction? i.e. say some loud boom happened and you are distracted to see what happened and forgot about "bad mood" and after some time it comes back or is it like physical pain where its persistent and distraction won't do anything to it?
There are two sides to this coin: one is the actual strength of the primitives involved. RSA is under increasingly effective attacks, and though elliptic curves are doing very well for now, we have the looming threat of Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computers. Still, without CRQC there's a good chance that X25519 and Ed25519 won't be broken for decades to come.

The other side is the protocol itself. Protocols are delicate, and easy to mess up in catastrophic ways. On the other hand, they're also provable. We can devise security reductions that prove that the only way to break the protocol is to break one of its primitives. Such proofs are even mechanically verified with tools like ProVerif and Tamarin.

Maybe TLS is a tad too complex to have the same half life as AES. The Noise protocols however have much less room for simplification. That simplicity makes them rock solid.
This would definitely work, but would require a big infra adjustment.

I don’t know but I wonder if (and it seems likely that) the time arbitrage of electrons is better/simpler (and cheaper?) solved by batteries now or in a few years time.
Thing is, we literally have no idea. There was the "hide this" aspect, truly and surely. But we have never, even today, had an accurate, truthful rendering of numbers.

So the numbers could have risen, fallen, been the same.

One thing I will say, stating it's always been the same over all human history seems flawed. Even if it's genetic, genes change in populations over time.
>Routines and habits don't always help.

I would argue that if you're putting yourself under so much long-term stress that you can't maintain healthy habits at all, you're basically guaranteed to go insane and fail.
I’m not sure I like that idea. Some older PCs have a very buggy and crappy UEFI implementation. Using UEFI on those can be a nightmare. And upgrading the firmware might not be possible, or only possible via Windows. (Thinkcentre M72e, I’m looking in your direction.)
I don't. I'm waiting for something else, until then, we'll stick with BIOS. Supporting EFI means implementing more legacy cruft than we already have with BIOS.
Not that it's not interesting, and perhaps there's even a kernel of truth to it -- who ever thought of psychology as an exact science? -- but note that this website, madinamerica.com, is dedicated to fighting psychiatry in all its forms. They very much cherry-pick studies like this to report on; don't expect a study proving the opposite would show up there.

When ingesting news, even if you're willing to accept outlying or extreme points of view into your mind, you should at least be aware of the agenda of the news source.
There's a good chance France will reelect the president that was vilified during the riots.

I guess four years ago the cause of the price hike was different. But overall the situation seems worse to me now. I don't think the yellow vests accomplished much in the long term.
OpenFirmware: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Firmware

Many systems get by just fine with a minimal ELF or multiboot loader and a firmware-provided devicetree specification. Dynamic hardware enumeration is performed by every OS anyway, the only hardware that must be initialized is the bootloader/kernel storage.

For the x86 platform, this could be implemented via coreboot (libreboot always reads to me as lib-reboot) with a multiboot payload.
This is precisely the reason I cycle 1000KMs each year - a combination of time alone, fresh air and exercise (either high or low impact) really helps offset life's worries.
Massive agreement here. All the people talking about meditation and exercise being a great way to manage your mental health have clearly never had problems with their mental health.

I was perfectly fine doing that when I was 21 and had no stresses in my life. But between running a startup and having baby, somehow when other unexpected financial or relationship stresses hit you, you're going to have a rough time mentally.
> That's the opposite of what the constitution sets out to provide.

The Constitution does not include "accused criminals" as a protected class. Please point to the exact section of the Constitution that includes them.

I'm going to be charitable and assume you meant that presumption of innocence is in the Constitution, which it actually isn't[1]. As set forth elsewhere and respected in the US, presumption of innocence applies only to the legal system. You do not have a right to the presumption of innocence by your fellow citizens.

And as I asked in another comment: if I witness someone committing a crime and decide to fire them, should the government force me to wait until they are convicted of the crime?

What if the victim doesn't want to press charges? What if the criminal abuses to legal system or repeatedly appeals, resulting in a delay of multiple years before they are convicted?

This is the most ludicrous thing I have ever heard. No one should be forced to keep someone on payroll that they have good reason to suspect is dangerous or dishonest.

There was also a video of a guy landing his airplane on water, and it was called fake too. I thought this was about this other video.

It's amazing the lengths the internet will go to fake content so it can look legitimate.

I'm actually wondering if it can actually be profitable to crash a plane, but that would also be insurance fraud. To be able to defraud aircraft insurance might still be quite stupid.

So even if he did not get reimbursed the aircraft, he might have made a profit. If this is the case, that means the advertising industry makes it profitable to crash airplanes.
Hucksters. Ok.
demonitization seems the best option I guess. Leave it up as a display of stupidity, and aviation history. But don't let him profit of something illegal
Nothing against EFI but secure boot as it is is a pain in the ass. Want to install some kernel module to enjoy your Xbox controller? Too bad you need to follow this convoluted guide about generating and installing certificates to sign your driver... or just disable the whole secure boot thingie.

Its like selinux hardware edition.
Your point is a bit moot because removing bios support will actually allow the maintainer to stop maintaining the bios parts regardless of the fact some other old things are kept.

While actually not removing bios support won't allow you to get rid of the aformentionned MS techs such as fat support.

Having said that I think this is a wee bit early.

I believe the game can run at 60 FPS on a real N64 with the Expansion Pack installed using his modifications. I don't think all these changes, and mods, are limited to usse on emulators.
At my current job we use Optaplanner in a project, to move around seat reservations (in blocks of several hundred) whilst keeping the new seats as similar as possible to the old ones (each seat having 'attributes' with various weights). I mostly chose it due to being JVM (although it needed a little Java shim to make it usable from Scala)

In grad school I used MiniZinc to find exact optimal subsets for a certain problem, which took AGES and was only practical up to sets of size 11, but I could use its output as a benchmark for my own approximate solver.
Could you add some power-saving features to emulate a 7555?
It's also possible for the municipality to lay down empty pipes and lease the pipes to ISPs. The ISPs route the fibre through the pipes. So they don't have to dig again and again, and future entrants have space to grow.
It doesn't just "boot the system". The full EFI specification includes support for runtime services, i.e. proprietary code that keeps running even after your FLOSS operating system has booted. That's something Linux users should care about: it provides a backdoor for clinging to closed-source drivers on a pretend-open platform. There's already been proof-of-concept EFI viruses, it's only a matter of time until the first antivirus EFI service appears.
Except there’s not much “neubrutalism” in Figma’s design. Some borders are thicker than usual, that’s about the extent of it; it’s otherwise quite similar to every other landing page. (Yes, it uses a lot of soft shadow.) Looks like OP tried really hard to find examples for something that’s allegedly taking over the web.
I can see grub2, syslinux, and anaconda are affected in the proposal. (Syslinux removed, others simplified).

But then, these are common linux components, not specific to fedora. They are old and battle tested by now, do they really require significant resources to maintain beyond running some automated tests?

Fedora is often the first distro to adopt radical changes like this and then all the other distros follow and then everyone has to live with their decisions, which often turn out to be made too soon.

Not looking forward to having to deal with this one.
You made a factual mistake: MBR/BIOS based boot does not depend on a specific filesystem, nor does it depend on a specific executable file format except for the boot sector. You can safely remove FAT support from your kernel config, except when you need it for EFI.
Time reversal has the same quantum uncertainty as normal flow of time.
Oh god. So after Windows drops support basically for any PC that is 4 years old, a Linux distribution entertains the idea to follow closely and drop support for any PC that is 10 years old? Is this corporate influence?

I cannot believe BIOS boot support is even close to the amount of code required for UEFI boot.

Before you say "UEFI is much older than 10 years old", please remember that UEFI only started being a default ever since Windows 8 (10 years old). Windows 7 can't even boot on UEFI (it requires BIOS emulation to be active).
I have a system from 7 years ago that while it claims to have an UEFI BIOS, it is so full bugs it is unusable except to boot Windows. I mean, critical bugs, as in, you boot Linux with UEFI just once, you risk the UEFI var storage getting corrupted and the motherboard becoming a paperweight.
Buy it and preserve memory. At least you're conscious of the person, someone else won't be.
Anecdotally the other streaming services have good stuff from time to time, but behaviorally they simply don’t compare to Netflix. My wife and I spend probably 80% our streaming time in Netflix just out of habit and the sheer amount of content.

Then, every few months hbo or Hulu comes out with a show we want to watch but then once it’s over we default back to Netflix. Again you can argue that the content is crap but people have demonstrated they prefer quantity over quality. The strategy is something like a hub and spoke. Create a handful of high budget shows that are spaced out to keep people interested then fill the rest with crap.

As an aside I’ve never paid for Netflix because we’ve had my wife’s account that’s linked to her parent’s for several years. It’s borderline ridiculous they’ve allowed password sharing as long as they have. If Netflix forced the account to be split we’d pay Without a second thought. I suspect most are like us despite all the cynicism.

I think once they start instituting that change alone the sub base will expand rapidly.

I’m very bullish on Netflix after this decline.
I’d imagine if they didn’t already have their own land to do this they could rent an old airfield or quarry and get assistance from the FBI like Mythbusters did back in the day to (potentially) blow things up

Somewhere there’s a form that allows you to crash a plane legally, I’d bet. Probably be a much longer form for a commercial plane though
> "each day the customer order is delayed is bad, but I also can't make things 3 months before they want it

This would be something in the objective function, I think? Assign some daily cost to having stock in inventory and a penalty per day that the "supply delivery to customer" task completes after the deadline.

IIRC ILOG solver used to have a lot of constraints that made implementing that kind of thing easier.
It’s funny, despite the code being on GitHub, Twitter search is the fastest way for me to find it. Searching my own tweets as a bookmarking tool is its hidden killer feature.

Images aren’t ideal for sharing code, of course, but it’s not like this example works as a standalone program.
- previously, x86 MBR-style partition tables (which were the only thing really supported in Linux) gave you no strong semantic information about what a partition was[1]. GPT may involve GUIDs, but in the grand scheme of things that's a small part of the cost of mounting stuff.

- FAT is old, and FAT is well-supported by basically anything, and what features do you want in the partition that contains your bootloader that FAT doesn't support?

- Yeah in an ideal universe we wouldn't have to deal with PE binaries and we wouldn't have to deal with the Windows 64-bit calling convention for jumping into the firmware and also we've solved all of this shit and it just isn't a big deal any more. We can look at any platform and complain about the implementation details, but at least this one is better documented than the BIOS interface ever was.

In summary: Linux has to boot on computers that exist, and most computers that exist have UEFI. The Linux community has had the opportunity to make meaningful improvements to the UEFI spec in a way that wasn't true with BIOS. UEFI isn't ideal, but it's better than what came before in this respect.

[1] Partitions could be identified as "Linux", but that gave you no information about what they were or where they should be mounted. Current systemd-driven development has allowed us to define the partition mount point as part of the GPT data, which means they can be automatically mounted in the correct place without static configuration about partition layout
However the article claims the users require change. Designers are not users, although oh so often they (and developers or...) claim to represent user wishes. And often as you said users are unhappy with the redesign but who's closer to the decision makers?

No that’s not their premise and that’s not what’s being said.
Do you propose that Fedora not support EFI and tell its users to replace the firmare or only buy devices with that?

That would be a massive step backwards in hardware support.

Like I said: They don't really have the option of not supporting EFI.

Alternatively they can support EFI and OpenFirmware, but that increases the number of supported paths instead of decreasing them.

Essentially a reddit community about making compelling arguments in the hopes of changing someone's viewpoint. I never followed it closely, but from what I remember, the original moderators were worried that Reddit's moderation policies became too draconian whilst simultaneously selectively enforced it AND they made the community moderators bare the brunt of it. Reddit didn't do enough to combat brigading, nor offered a reasonable solution to the kinds of bans redditors were getting.

Eventually they decided to break off from the platform, but their community was too small and the rebranding hurt them in trying to maintain a userbase. They couldn't monetize it and it died.

The current version of the sub that remained on reddit is very ban happy with any semi-controversial viewpoint or anything within the realm of 'wrongthink' getting your thread locked. There's also virtually no mention of what happened. I think they were worried about losing the sub to a dedicated group of people who viewed it as a political indoctrination tool, allowing only a certain set of viewpoints... which ended up being true.
Almost all games worked without the Expansion Pak ("Pak" intentionally spelt without a 'c'). In fact there were only 3 released games that required it[1] and even some of those were still playable without it, you just lost some content (eg Perfect Dark).

If this Mario 64 mod requires the use of the Expansion Pak then it's definitely not typical of other N64 games and a point that, like the GP, I felt needed more emphasis rather than a passing remark that was very easy to miss.

I'm not taking anything away from the incredible work that developer has done though. It's impressive and really interesting to see. From a hacker perspective it makes total sense to use the Expansion Pak because most retro gamers who might be interested in this mod would likely already have one. But from an authenticity perspective, this is a little bit of a cheat.

There doesn't need to be a reason, if YouTube want's to remove a video from their platform they are free to do so.
B. Without swap, the culprit is immediately identified and killed. Your system is perfectly usable, aside from a killed process.

This is not my experience. I ran my desktop for a few years on this theory, and in practice I found the system behaviour far worse when the system ran out of memory, it would lock up completely as you mention with case A. With swap enabled I would eventually reach an unresponsive state, but not immediately: there would be a gradual slowdown in which I could take action to resolve the problem. I believe this is because of the page thrashing of file pages of the executables running (point 3 mentioned in the article). In practice if you want behaviour B you need to run something like earlyoom which kills processes before the kernel starts thrashing the disk.
If you feel conflicted, you could host the original pages in a dedicated directory with a no-index header, and set up a permanent 301 redirect for those pages..? If they end up listed with your own results, it's trivial to get Google to remove them via Search Console (I do this occasionally for my pure HTML website, which has no Google Analytics etc. on it).

That way, anyone who ever saved the link or linked to it from a blog would still get through to the content.
He probably has still gotten away with it...

He probably will just be banned from flying for life, but will still have a much enlarged youtube audience and ad revenue that more than pays for the lost plane.

I highly doubt he'll spend even a day in prison.
"Brutal" comes via the French brutal from latin brutus (brute). The "brut" in French "béton brut" which is the expression from which "brutalist" comes from, has the same root, but in that French expression "brut" has more the meaning of "raw" rather than "savagely violent".
My practical experience is that Linux absolutely needs swap to work well. It doesn't need a lot, but some. I had a ton of OOMs even though the memory wasn't "full" on the machine running my search engine. The machine had like dozens of gigabytes in "buff/cache" that could be reclaimed, but for some reason it failed and let loose the OOMKiller instead.. I added 512 Mb of swap and it just went away overnight. I've since increased the allocated memory by a lot more than 512 Mb.
Wow, that's amazing! I agree so much. When I want to know which of two products is better, I just want to see a casual reddit discussion with real people stating their opinions and knowledge. Discussions seems like a great feature! Brave Search is becoming more and more interesting.

It’s nice to see articles that help confirm some of my anecdotes. I live in Connecticut, and in the last year I’ve seen both a bear and a moose in my yard. And, it’s not like I live somewhere crazy rural - I live on a 0.3 acre lot near UCONN. My neighbors, many of whom have been here for 50 years, comment about how many more eagles, ospreys, fishers, fox, and deer there are today. However, there hasn’t been data to back up these anecdotes.

For the most part, people enjoy it, but there’s a growing cluster of outdoor house cat owners who are dismayed when nature does its thing and Sir Fluffsalot meets his end after an encounter with a fox or eagle.
I agree. I feels like this naming disconnect would not exist in this case if you would work with a record/struct. That is what you sacrefice with tuples.
I can store the majority of my wealth in Bitcoin over the long term and know that my share of the total supply won't be significantly diluted, because it's disinflationary with a max supply hard cap.

This is not possible with fiat. You can't have any confidence how much fiat will be produced by central banks at the press of a button. Millions? Billions? Trillions? Who knows...

Whenever I need liquid cash to buy things I can quickly and easily convert to fiat at anytime, and gain the benefit of price appreciation over the long term (+4 years).

The only problem with that at the moment is capital gains tax, but I believe that will be addressed eventually.
I see this with buttons that have shadows/not flat. It makes me think that site is old.
