A fun and easy one for Nginx is to simply redirect all requests by default. I stick this in my default vhost after the healthcheck and error page parts :)

location / {
return 301 http://$remote_addr$request_uri;
access_log /var/log/nginx/spam.log;
}

This also helps to separate the useless garbage requests from the real ones to keep the logs clean. 99% of the time scanners are hitting your IP rather than your hostname, so it's pretty safe to just ignore their requests entirely.
The first ARM with a cache was ARM3 (1989, 4kiB)

There is a robust empirical difference that's seen between races. That quote is about the notion that this difference is inherent. Rather, most scientists think it's largely environmental. They wouldn't have to attribute the difference to environmental factors if there were no actual difference.

So the OP is correct in saying that even if you remove discrimination there would still be differences, because the environmental factors that caused those differences remain.
Censorship is not the best disinfectant at all;it had a fundamental issue: who decides what should be censored.

Now you and I, hey we know what’s good and morale so that’d be fine. But when it’s someone else who is in control, as it will be, then the “wrong” things get censored.

It's hard to vote with your money when you barely have enough to keep a roof over your head and food on your table.

And what I do with my money is meaningless unless I coordinate with millions of other people to do the same thing. And the probability of that happening is extremely low.

> We decided that RISC I should not be burdened with the design of a full-blown on-chip cache, but an instruction cache would definitely be a good idea for the

So it seems RISC-I didn't.

Additionally a die shot[1], and understanding of the architecture of RISC-II (doubling down on the big window register file as a potential substitute for on die D cache) appears to imply that it doesn't have any on die cache, I or D. I certainly don't see any arrays of SRAM other than the register file.

I agree with most of what you’re saying, but for me, the IDE was waaaaay easier than dealing with a Makefile (yet another programming language that has nothing to do with my goal), or worse, entering random hard-to-remember commands and options on the command line. Even if my program was a single file, it was usually just Cmd-R to build and run. No need to memorize that I needed to add “-l math” if I was doing anything with math functions, or whatever.

It was definitely easy to jump from learning HTML to learning that I can run code on the backend and render the output by just adding a tag like this:

<?php
$data_from_backend = [whatever I need to do on backend];
echo $data_from_backend;
?>

Right there inside the same document, rather than learning about Node, APIs, a templating engine, etc. It kind of just worked and was very simple. Of course, for professional apps this caused a ton of problems and now using PHP that way is seen as something from the dark ages.

I think tv cameras and commentators and having tens of thousands of people watching you can totally mess with how you think when you have just made a mistake for six figures.

I deal with devops tooling and infrastructure a lot for my startup, so the part you consider hard is the part I consider easy. It's just a matter of specialization. Doing devops like 20-30 years ago would've been awful compared to today where there are a ton of tools with clear documentation to accomplish full CI/CD chains.
We have tools to fight it - code reviews, dependency scanning, QA.

I am guilty as the next guy of throwing stuff that "just works" out there.

It is also important what kind of software you write - if you write frameworks, you better get unit tests and full blown process in place to make sure your framework will work in 10 years time.

If you work on a business application - in 6 months time your application might be gone or requirements change in a way that everything you wrote does not matter anymore and future proofing was just a waste of time.

I would like that more devs/software engineers understood which one they are writing.

> That benefit is arguably nullified though when every press conference has them... Personally speaking though, I'm against using them in about 99.999% of situations that are not imminent life and death emergencies.

The benefit is including deaf people, not just making sure that they're able to comprehend emergency alerts (though that is also important). While I agree that the system could be refined, another part of me likes it because it gives visibility to something that the vast majority of hearing people wouldn't know about otherwise.

Anecdotally, my partner's parents can read and write English but aren't fluent in it. The prevalence of interpreters in the past few years has made things accessible to them that wouldn't have been in the past. From what I've heard, they aren't alone in their experience.

I've probably played around 10k hours of poker.

On the one hand, crazy shit happens all the time, and folks win by sucking out or by insane bluffs.

On the other hand, it's not considered honorable to win by mistake. Winning by catching a 3% is luck - but just screwing up isn't cool.

So, even though $130k (or whatever it was) seems like a lot of money - there is honor among (some/most) poker players, so it seems totally honorable to me that she gave him the money, as she doesn't feel she deserves it.

I don't know how she would have cheated. Maybe she did but it doesn't seem to me like she did.
Same principle - my vote is a drop in the sea. Unless I agree and coordinate with everyone else on how to vote, it's meaningless. And the probability of that happening is extremely low.

I admire the optimism, but I just don't feel it's realistic. There is absolutely nothing an individual, on their own, can do to change anything in the current world.

As a Seattle driver, cyclist and pedestrian I have to say:
* I essentially never feel threatened by pedestrians (regardless of which mode I'm on) (with the increasing exception of the raving mad ones, but that's another problem)
* Very very very rarely feel threatened by cyclists (I've had a few minor interactions with e-bike riders overtaking that have made me nervous, but not really more than that)
* and frequently feel like I'm close to being injured by some nutcase driving a car

YMMV, but two plus tons of metal travelling at 100kph driven by someone who can kill without consequences is simply inherently more threatening
Knowledge of the entire machine's activity. When I was a young teenager the home machine of choice was the Commodore 64 and its competitors. When you turned it on you usually had an interactive programming language REPL start up, probably some variant of Basic, and that was it. Off you went:

No OS to worry about (the machine probably had a very basic BIOS to handle peripherals but that was it)

No permissions model

A tiny API to interact with whatever graphics/sounds facilities were available

No need to worry about what resources simultaneously-running programs could be using (there weren't any)

Actually no need to worry about concurrency at all (you just couldn't do it)

No need to worry about what language to use (either the one blinking at you when you turned on the machine, or assembly language for the processor)

No need to worry about how to restructure computations to use a computation shader or SIMD

_You_ were the owner of every resource in the machine and it all danced to your tune. And, best of all, you could come to a complete understanding of how every part of those machines worked, in just a few weeks of practice. Who today knows the intricacies of their laptops to the same extent?

I guess the Emacs manual and the non-free drivers will still remain in the non-free section of the repository. This is not changing. If this these packages were put in main, this would be upsetting indeed. I would consider switching to another distro, actually. I need to know if something I'm installing is free and a package being in main or contrib is a pretty strong guarantee that I rely on. I don't want anything non-free on my computer, and reluctantly tolerate the presence of the "necessary" non-free firmware blobs.

It's just that the installer, which also probably remains unchanged, will come with these additional deb packages available on the installation media. But those will still belong to non-free.

To be honest, this is the installation media I already download, so I'm not stuck if whatever computer I'm installing requires a non-free blob to function.

That this installation media becomes the default? I don't know what to think. I'm torn. I guess most people were downloading this "unofficial" installer, or the official installer and were downloading non-free firmware packages separately. These packages won't be touched by the installer if you don't want to, and I'm pretty sure the installer will warn/ask you. I can see why people could be upset anyway, I'm not. It's a hard decision to make. I think it's fine as long as the user is warned and can choose not to install and run non-free blobs.
Exactly. Once you decide to route cables in your walls, that can become quite an investment. Not necessarily exclusive, but why not also just invest in a PC then, rather than stop at a half-measure...

That page lists uranium resources at 6,147,000 tonnes.

Operating a 3 GW(th) LWR requires about 200 tonnes/year of natural uranium.

6000 such reactors (needed to produce the 18 TW of primary energy currently used by the global economy) would therefore consume 1.2 million tonnes of U per year. The resource listed on that page would last five years.

So, either much larger uranium resource would be needed, or breeding would be needed, or both.

As for your other questions:

The first skates close to the position that no storage solution can ever be built unless it has already been built. This sort of reactionary attitude is just mindlessly obstructive, and does not reflect an attitude of constructive discussion. One can look at various storage technologies and see they scale very well.

As for materials in solar/wind systems: they are materials that are used in general society at much larger scale. The world makes 2 billion tonnes/year of steel, for example. If global industrial society can produce these materials, it can produce them for the renewable energy systems needed to power it. If it can't, then not even nuclear can save it.
Sorry, I’m a bit lost regarding your comment. The discussion was about code safety in Linux in the context of potentially introducing Rust. I don’t really see the link with microkernels in the context of safety oriented RTOS. I think you are reacting to my comment about microkernels performance in the 90s which I maintain.

Neither QNX nor ThreadX are intended to be general purpose kernel. I haven’t looked into it for a long time but QNX performances used to not be very good. It’s small. It can boot fast. It gives you guaranty regarding time of return. Everything you want from a RTOS in a safety critical environment. It’s not very fast however which is why it never tried to move towards the general market.
Both reactions always happen. With basically anything new, people will select some points via happenstance or bias, draw one of a few basic trend lines [1], and give a hot take. Because they generally think only about first-order effects and don't imagine other things that could happen, the hot takes are often of the utopia/dystopia variety.

These hot takes generally tell you more about the opiner (or the audience they're playing to) than the reality to come. It turns out it's hard to model en entire universe using 3 pounds of meat.

> “If RMS hits on you, just say ‘I’m a vi user’ even if it’s not true.”

A normal person probably doesn't see the double-indirection and ambiguity in this. The first indirection lies in using 'I'm a vi user' as a proxy for 'I don't like Emacs'. The second indirection lies in using 'I don't like Emacs' as a proxy for 'I reject you romantically'.

The ambiguity is even less visible. Some women use an indirect 'No' as a shit test. The man is supposed to ask again. This is phenomenon invisible to normal people because it occurs in a social context of body language and flirting. Normal people find this social context conspicuous. Consequently, normal people are oblivious to the phenomenon of men with poor social skills failing to navigate the treacherous waters around the "ask again no" and the very different "don't ask again no". These waters are a normie's paddling pool.

Remind yourself of the big picture here. We have a highly intelligent man with embarrassing blind-spots around certain social skills. We have intelligent women attempting to communicate with him. They choose a code with two properties. First, it aims at a social skills blind-spot; the message is likely to be misunderstood by the target. Second, it is a trivial code that normies will not even notice breaking. They get to have a sneer and a laugh at the expense of the loser who misunderstands the coded message. The joke lies in the weakness of the code. Everybody except the victim gets the message effortlessly.

So long as 'I'm a vi user' is a private joke, its heartless cruelty is mitigated by its pettiness. But RMS is the victim. To tell the tale as a strike against him lacks self-awareness.

Like most folks here, I have mixed feelings about this. The dichotomy of "it's about time" versus "how tragic that it came to this" seems to be common, and I can get on board with that.

Having said that, I don't think that having firmware blobs in the installer should be Debian's hill to die on, and I'm glad they decided to acquiesce to practical necessity. Between wireless NICs and graphics devices, it's just too blasted difficult these days to install a FOSS operating system without binary blobs - good, bad, or ugly, it is what it is, and I respect their ability to recognize when something simply cannot be changed [at this time].

Keep picking your battles, Debian crew - keep fighting the good fight.
The layers to get the the hardware is absurd. Just layers of pure garbage to abstract everything away making it feel slower than 25 years ago.

“We should rewrite it all,” said Pham.

“It’s been done,” said Sura, not looking up. She was preparing to go off-Watch, and had spent the last four days trying to root a problem out of the coldsleep automation.

“It’s been tried,” corrected Bret, just back from the freezers. “But even the top levels of fleet system code are enormous. You and a thousand of your friends would have to work for a century or so to reproduce it.” Trinli grinned evilly. “And guess what—even if you did, by the time you finished, you’d have your own set of inconsistencies. And you still wouldn’t be consistent with all the applications that might be needed now and then.”
