> Real-time is a property of the whole system though (?) not individual functions.

As I see it, it leads to a contradiction. `cat` have unbounded time of execution. It depends on a size of input. It means that `cat` cannot be realtime. But this logic leads us to a conclusion, that any OS kernel cannot be realtime, because it works for an unbounded time.

It is a non sense. Realtime is about latency: how much it takes time to react to an input. `cat` may be realtime or may be not, it depends on how we define "input". We need to define it in a way that it is bounded. I mean 4Kb chunks of bytes for example.

> Like your function might receive an arbitrarily large n-element array a[] and just return a[a[n-1]], and it would be constant time.

No. Receiving n-element array is an O(n) operation. It needs to be copied to memory. We can of course pick one function that just get a pointer to an array, but if real-time is a property of the whole system, then this system needs to copy the array from the outside world into memory. And it is an O(n) operation. So for any latency requirement exists such N so when n>N this requirement would not be met. So unbounded array as an input is incompatible with a real-time.
I admit I never seen a use case that justify the complexity of usage.
Let's say you have a native app and a web app.
I don't see these 2 changing that much in terms of data so a an API middlelayer is just simpler.

At work we have a use case like: well we create the data layer that you can query the way you want and the field you want with many clients involved. So like an API where you can make composable queries.

To me that sounds like an API with query parameters, do we really need to use GraphQL?

Let's see!
You're confused about the meaning of "falsify": alter so as to mislead.

Using a caller ID name / number that you have the right to use is, of course, fine. Using a caller ID name / number that is clearly and obviously not you is attempting to mislead.

You can't walk in to a bank and say you're someone else. So, just like that, but with phones.

But I really wonder why you think it necessary to make excuses for scammers...
At least California is willing to call this bullshit out.
Even though it makes sense from the name, SIGINT, to interrupt, I've rarely seen console software "return control" to the user when the signal is received.

What I've mostly seen in programs is a clean exit from the running application, if live user input is not intended to be used. Clearing a line or something similar like redrawing the terminal (that's mostly Ctrl-L though) is what interactive programs do, let's say shells or ncurses UI programs.

Whenever I made some hobby scripts that exit cleanly when receiving a SIGINT, I've made a global counter of interrupts. When SIGINT is received, the counter is incremented, which tells the main loop to stop as soon as possible. But if this counter exceeds three signals, the application would exit immediatley. This may not be ideal, but CTRL-C CTRL-C CTRL-C is easier than kill -9 `pgrep a.out`.

Like the top comment says, expecting a concrete and general behaviour on different types of software for such a broad signal doesn't gain wide approval.

What "return of control" did the author mean, on what kinds software?
I don't know why this got down-voted exactly, but it's unfortunately accurate in that an hospital/school can become a legitimate military target if it's used militarily.

Also, in response to:

> I doubt Ukraine are intentionally endangering the lives of their own people

The report clearly states:

> Most residential areas where soldiers located themselves were miles away from front lines and *viable alternatives were available that would not have endangered civilians* - such as military bases, densely-wooded areas or other structures further from residential areas
That affirms my point: you have complete control over the front end.
Can someone correct me if I'm wrong but I remember one of the reasons the RMBK reactor is so large was because there are efficiency gains with a large reactor (among other reasons you lose fast neutrons at a higher rate in a smaller volume right?). How do these small modular reactors get around this?
FreeBSD has the concept of a 'security level'. You can increase it at runtime, which disables more functionality, but you can't decrease it without a reboot.

At security level 1, the immutable and append only attributes on files can't be removed, so even chattr -i would be useless.
At my workplace they made this decision before I started and I can fully agree with this. It's essentially a typed REST without any of the benefits. No joins, everything is multiple calls away to perform a "full" query.

I don't even want to think about undoing this mess.
Have you met https://twitter.com/TechEmails ?

Musk doesn't need to leak emails.

The discovery by the lawyer team alone is probably scary enough.

There is a high chance that twitter will settle for XB.

At this point, it is just free money for twitter.

Imagine Musk acquires twitter and exposes all internal emails (well, he owns the company) and sue execs one by one for every little thing that is wrong.

Execs are earning 10M/year. For these people, money is not an issue. Getting into a scandal is a huge issue.
Neat idea. I personally am put off by paying for "larger groups" but that's only because I think groups are used to having this all for free and would expect the organizer of said group to foot the bill.
If it also recommended well supported laptop models...
I only use "Dear Person" when I'm BCC-ing it to another person and I think the the email may be confusing for the person in the BCC field.

It's a selection bias. In all the universes in which a nuclear war was triggered, we wouldn't be alive here today discussing it; we could only exist in a universe in which a nuclear holocaust didn't occur.
This. Note that even single-layer garments generally don't have a protection factor of 100. Simply being outside in warm weather will give you more UV even if you use sunscreen perfectly--and I don't believe perfect use of sunscreen happens in the real world. I don't care how well you apply it, the protection will be degraded by movement. It will be degraded even more by touching things.
> Objectively false

Any evidence, bro?
how does the kernel compare these days? pre-cfq i remember the scheduler was far better than linux, but what about raw performance for single and multithread/process workloads with lots of i/o going through the kernel?

raw cve counts seem meaningless without a denominator to me. those numbers should be normalized by estimated install base if they're going to be compared.
The solution to that is simple: require the original purchase receipt.

The return policy changes are just an excuse, the real reason is the new management (often private equity vultures) plans on performing Quality Fade, i.e. lowering the quality but keeping prices high as they run down the formerly deserved reputation into the ground. Of course that strategy won't work without also gutting the warranty.
If I use search, I get "An unexpected error has occurred."
Nuclear absolutely has to be part of that carbon neutral equation. Solar and wind are awesome, but they are not “dispatchable”. i.e. they turn off sometimes when the wind stops blowing or the sun isn’t shining. Without tons of batteries, natural gas and coal etc are always going to be used to fill the gaps. Nuclear is the perfect choice to replace those dispatchable sources.

Also, additional nuclear capacity can be used to do things like desalinate ocean water and help alleviate droughts in the future.
> ZFS has first-class support on Ubuntu and is compiled into the kernel.

And Ubuntu is also the only distribution which has ZFS. Using ZFS on any other distribution (for example RHEL, Rocky Linux, etc.) is a pain. Every update is Russian roulette in which it can break.

And everyone except Ubutunu thinks it's a violation of the CDDL. Keep in mind that Oracle is the copyright holder of ZFS. So you (and Ubuntu) are violating Oracle's license terms. Would be realy interesting to see what happens if Oracle decides to sue an Ubuntu user. Would Ubuntu step in to help?

> There's also real DTrace on Oracle Linux if you're ready to sell your soul:

The "distress" from the audiophile community in this case was that DSD formed a part of the signal chain from the original analog (magnetic tape) masters to their newly printed vinyl. They wanted a signal chain that was completely analog.

Then, alongside that, is the belief by a slightly different set of audiophiles that DSD is the best digital format there is, and that recordings made only with DSD is as good as you can get (possibly, for some of them, better than pure analog).

The difficulty with the 2nd group's belief is that there are very few recordings that exist which are pure DSD, and their beliefs about PCM mean that a DSD+PCM process is inherently flawed. Consequently, establishing the superiority of pure DSD is somewhat irrelevant, when there's almost nothing you can listen to that is produced that way.
Thanks for clarification. Although IIUC the "bad" WireGuard implementation was stopped from being released just barely:

https://lwn.net/Articles/850098

It was rushed because a particular vendor wanted to have it as soon as possible. If not for Jason Donenfeld's diligence it looks like we would have out there in the open, full of bugs and all.

Doesn't seem like a normal occurrence though, seeing how much noise it made.
Does Apollo really have cache bugs? Usually it’s the data itself which doesn’t have a unique id field, or the client hasn’t been configured to know about the proper id field.

Granted, it’s a problem to have to do that. But such is life with entity-level caching.
Who is the "nuclear lobby"? I'd be interested to know about which industrial interests are pushing the government for nuclear investment.

I've considered migrating my NAS to openbsd few times, but one thing I was not sure about is with that to replace the filesystem with. I'm currently running btrfs and I like it. Few things I would like to have in a replacement:

1. copy-on-write and snapshots

2. checksums that are automatically verified on reads

3. btrfs' version of RAID1 (meaning I don't have to buy identical HDDs only)

What would be my options?
because either the boilerplate is massive or the libraries do so much for you that you have to specialize in understanding the libraries magic - front-end plus back-end code for graphql is almost always more than a traditional REST api and I mean a lot more code, not just a bit more, so more code is strongly correlated with more problems. The exception is when you use heavy libraries that have magical APIs. Then you end up with teams who understand the API and have no idea how graphql actually works, which is probably an even worse problem.
> So, if you have `1234` in A1 and `5678` in B1, `=A1+B1` should by default produce `VALUE ERROR` rather than `6912`?

If you didn't change anything else, just made A1 and B1 text cells, then adding them would still return 6912.

Databases only have a fraction of the capabilities of a spreadsheet. That's not a reasonable response.

Completely agree.
Very, very few things depend on Linux-specific syscalls. There are two reasons for this: first, they are unportable, so you need another code path for everything !Linux anyway, and even when you only care about Linux you can't assume those syscalls are available, because you first need to get them into the kernel, then into glibc, which is a separate project, and then you need to ship them in the distro, which in some cases (RHEL) means either waiting half a decade or porting it to a kernel half a decade old.

And no, there aren't many things you can run on z/OS POSIX environment, because it fails to support absolutely basic things, like fork(2).

>mainframes invented noSQL databases before SQL was a thing

I'm not sure about this; structured storage was popular before Unix made flat files common, but there was a fundamental flaw in how it was implemented: it was all in the kernel, not on top of it.

> And who gets to decide who gets none?

For example you look at the history and look whether something was more helpful than harmful (eg: fascist propaganda)
or you look at the science and look whether something is a real theory or barely an hypothesis whose flaws are well-documented.

Basically, instead of saying "GOP says it's raining and Democrats says the weather is nice", you look at the facts and open your window.

> That would set the precedent where if everything I hold dear (...) become relegated to the same "fringe" status by some horrible sequence of events

That scenario exists merely in your slippery slope fallacy.
Meanwhile, fascist propaganda has been proven to do huge damage on this very planet of Earth.

Real freedom follows the principle 'the freedom of each person stops where that of others begins'. In the US it seems to mean: 'I must be free to do everything including harming people. If I can't harm others, I'm not really free'

Did I understand correctly: Wind and solar are better than nuclear because nuclear isn't cost effective at having enough slack for a polar vortex?

But if that's the case, don't wind and solar fail in a polar vortex?
Ah, you're saying that nuclear, wind, and solar all require storage. Got it.

Then the question would be how much storage do they require. Which I guess is what you're saying.

Ive used GQL on several projects for work and its been _OK_ to work with but not really worth the hassle in our cases. It ended up costing us lots of time to onboard new devs and hasnt given is much in return aside from type safety between the front and back ends. Im sure there are good use cases for GQL but I have not personally run into them.
+1 for this. Recently picked my Shinobi up a few months ago, and I'm also thinking about picking up a spare now too. It's an expensive keyboard, but worth every penny once you get it in your hands. The trackpoint is more precise than any of the laptop ones, and horizontal/vertical scrolling is supported on every OS. Pretty much my endgame keyboard, besides maybe a detachable numpad?
I built an app with a REST API a long time ago, now a defunct startup. In an effort to save API calls, the front end devs requested that I add various other resources in new endpoints, often a subset of another endpoint's response fields. The API spec ended up being fairly unwieldy.

I've often thought that this would be a great use case for GQL. Seems like a good choice if your front end wants to specify exactly what data to get.

Cultural expectations on tanning come down to signs of wealth.

Industrialized societies most work is performed indoors, most people only tan during leisure time. Thus a tan is an indication of having leisure time and is looked upon positively.

Societies that are not industrialized most work is performed outdoors, leisure is generally indoors. Thus the absence of a tan is an indication of wealth and is looked upon positively.

Note that this lags behind reality, many places have industrialized but their perception of tans is still negative. My wife is Chinese and I sometimes joke that she's half-vampire because of how sun-avoidant she is.

I don’t think that’s the case. Secretly having a bomb gives you the ability to strike hard, but on its own it doesn’t deter.

If you want to deter, it’s not sufficient to have teeth, you have to show them or at least convince your enemy to believe you have them, and that only seems to be happening by countries that built their own such as Russia, North Korea and Pakistan.

So, how would, say, Canada secretly having a bomb deter anybody from attacking it?

Also, the USA already provides non-nuclear allies with a way to deter by storing on-the-book weapons in their countries (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_sharing) That doesn’t have to happen off the books.

Are you suggesting there are countries they trust enough to store nuclear bombs there, while they don’t want the world at large to know about that? I can’t think of any country that would qualify for that.

Thanks for taking the time to explain, but if I understand correctly in the instances you relate, you were taking mushrooms specifically in order to get high, correct?

Whereas the OP (root of the thread) is talking about microdosing, which is, if I understand it correctly, taking drugs in an attempt to not get high, but get other benefits?

As to the "powerful feeling of connectedness with the universe", well, I've been drunk and I found that I loved everybody around me and I felt a strong emotional connection with total strangers. But, I was drunk. It's relaxing, it's disinhibiting, it's fun, it's making yourself deliberately and temporarily mentally impaired, why not? But there's nothing more to it.

In fact, I'd go as far as to say that the defining characteristic of intoxication, in my experience, is of being dumber than usual, which can be suprisingly enjoyable. Certainly not something to be desired as a constant state, though.
