> The problem with swap is memory seems to have gotten cheaper than storage and swap of any form takes storage space. Its not the capex that's the problem, its the opex of now you've got an extra 32GB that "has to" be backed up and "has to" be virus scanned or whatever security theatre, and that swap file "has to" be treated as the highest security PII HIPPA PCI category because who knows whats been swapped out of memory onto it,

Why on earth you'd backup swap?

Also encrypted swap is pretty easy to setup, then again most distros don't give that option on install.

We have tiny swap, like 1GB, working basically as "early warning" of "hey, this server probably could use few GBs more of RAM". There is very little use for any more swap than that

>I don't think non-cloudy admins realize there are cloudy admins out there with forests of little systems with like 8 GB of ram and 16 GB of storage, so the "old" rules from the 1980s about provision twice your ram as swap would increase the disk required from 16 GB to 32 GB doubling my costs for, essentially, nothing.

The "old rules" for swap were never relevant. But dumb myths die hard.
There's plenty of reasons non-technically savvy may want to be anonymous:

* Don't want companies building a profile on them

* Writing under a pen name and don't want to accidentally link it to real name

* Researching a topic that might result in peers/society judging them badly

* Want to price shop without companies raising prices because of their browsing (I don't think this happens, but it's a common fear/accusation)

* Activists worried about being spied on

* Person with some suspicious looking connections who doesn't want that to reflect onto them (perhaps you have a cousin that joins a enemy of your country - you didn't do anything but just want to email your family about news without getting on a watch list)

* Doing illegal things and don't want to get caught

In fact I'm kind of struggling to think what reason for anonymity is unique to the technically savvy... pirating?
Relative to historic P/E yes but more importantly still growing fast and if you look at 3Q earnings annualized it's in the low 40's and forward P/E based on conservative estimates is in the 30's.
> There is no polite way to say "you are too obese to undergo this procedure"

There is, actually, and it involves compassion. And then there's what actually happens: I've been in the other room and heard a friend get literally yelled at by a doctor for their body weight, and heard many similar stories second hand. The verbal abuse that patients endure is inexcusable, and highly counterproductive.
What's your problem with GTK? I mean I like good UIs and this is what attracts me. So Ardour has a good looking UI (IMHO). How does the window toolkit impact you?

Yes, that's what you do when there are a lot of unknowns. You make an educated guess, based on the available information.

> Stop wielding your values as a weapon and start offering them as a gift.

It's about time this was put forth.

I've been screaming from the bottom of my lungs for ages that woke virtue signalling only makes enemies.

If you tell your opponent you're better than them, you're engaging in high school football rivalry. You'll never come to a meeting of the minds. It only makes the disagreement more bitter.

The left and the right, at the end of the day, really aren't that much different at all. There are only a few concepts we disagree upon. Yet we're engaging in petty team squabbles and letting the lizard parts of our brains turn it into tribalistic "us vs them".

An analogy, probably incorrect, is the hygiene hypothesis. An under-exposed immune system in a clean room learns to attack its host instead. Similarly, since we're not regularly engaging in tribe vs tribe, fighting off assailants that would throttle us in the night, or staying by the fire to stay away lions and bears, we turn that defense mechanism against those with different ideals.

At the end of the day, we're all suffering and dying together.

Where is the accusation exactly?

I was pointing out the real risks involved, and asking them if they were ok with them. Statistically, such a plan would result in that outcome pretty quickly.

Personally I just assumed they had no idea, not that they didn’t care.
Wrong direction. Bumping swappiness up means OS will make it more likely to keep more pages in cache, setting it to higher value makes OS treat it more like RAM and that's usually slow and jittery
I would say this is not completely true. I spend a lot of time using CLI applications, but I _do_ care about how the terminal contents look!
There’s definitely a set of cases in which CLI users would care about this sort of thing. For example, if you’re using Vim or another editor and want to maximize usable screen space.

I would think that if lung cancer goes undiagnosed, it will eventually kill the patient, at which point it would be recorded as a lung cancer case. So I wouldn't expect cancer screening to bias measurement.

You should really check out the recent Aperture[1] project on GitHub that applies all these ideas in practice to protect services from cascading failures.

1. Aperture automatically detects queue buildup based on metrics such as latency.
2. Adjusts the concurrency on a service.
3. Weighted Fair Scheduling of workloads (i.e. APIs) based on their labels.

Totally contra to this project, but relevant for your point. I found EasyEDA, developed by the people from JLCPCB, to be very easy to use for hobbiest boards. Their integration with their SMT assembly service was also pretty neat for my usecase
Not true for men under 40, which happens to be the HN demographic.
Regarding swap partitions: on virtualised systems (like clouds) this is rather easy since you can just edit EBS/LUN/whatever on the provider side, grow, shrink, add completely new ones without doing any of the classical disk management tasks.

On cloud machines, LVM doesn't make a lot of sense, and neither does lots of partitions. Partitions are from a time where you have one disk and want to setup filesystem boundaries. But in a virtualised setup you can slice block storage any way you want, and present it to the VM as completely separate disks. It's a bit like having LVM "on the outside" of the VM. This way, the VM itself becomes simpler and has to care less about the specifics of the disk.

If you are on physical hardware, I'd argue that if you're not using LVM or ZFS, you're probably doing it wrong. Only really small scale (SD card, eMMC, USB SSD, raspberry PI type of stuff) works better without it. That said, even LVM wouldn't be too bad in such cases. (You'd have to get down to JFFS2 and the likes to really not use LVM)

> What technologies are you using on a routine basis that fall into a category you consider acceptable?

Can't speak for them, but some LTS GNU/Linux distros have a decent track record, for example, I've had fairly few issues with Debian, Ubuntu or even CentOS back in the day. The worse I've had was CentOS xrdp package breaking for no good reason, or unattended upgrades in Debian breaking GRUB in my homelab once, here's a rant about it: https://blog.kronis.dev/everything%20is%20broken/debian-and-...

Some languages out there have a pretty long and boring releases cadence, for example, in the case of Java, JDK 8 has been around for almost 10 years, JDK 11 and JDK 17 will be around for about 5 years each. Migrating between versions can be pretty painful, but within the bounds of a version, generally there are fairly few bugs and issues to be found. Even the feature updates, like new GC implementations, are largely optional and you don't get the rug pulled out from under your feet.

Some databases out there also have been supported for long, for example, MySQL 5.7 and MySQL 8 won't quite make it to 10 years of being supported, but will get pretty close. They remain compatible with the drivers out there in the wild pretty well and even though there can be things like performance regressions, I can't recall that many problems that necessitated changes due to any breakages, more like non-critical slowdowns and such until you get a patch.

I think that there are a few software packages like that in any domain, whether you're talking about operating systems and kernels, programming languages or databases. That said, things can get murky depending on how you use them: something like Apache httpd or Apache Tomcat can be regarded as relatively stable, but that stability gets worse, the more modules/plugins you install. Same with operating systems and running a huge amount of different software on them.

Focusing on stable software isn't something that we as an industry do that much, admittedly, everyone just wants greater velocity and more features to meet whatever business goals are relevant, which doesn't fare too well for the folks who care about stability and keeping things running long term.

I don't think you can learn anything of value from this. his channel is a PR channel where POWs will say whatever for good treatment. I think its pretty slimy and not a good representation of what russian soldiers actually think.

It's not really about validity or not. Vice doesn't make anything to inform you, it makes things to manipulate you, and they don't hide it. they're pretty slick at videography but you don't leave better informed, just manipulated. get your news somewhere else.
yea, its worth mentioning IB has very good execution but very bad data, to the point paying for their "realtime" data (and unusable historical) is nearly an inside joke of spotting suckers.

Regarding GTK, I could never stomach the specific "feel" that it has, and it's also been incredibly buggy for me on platforms other than Linux, and I use macOS and Windows a lot too. I haven't found a single GTK app that I can tolerate using on Windows or macOS so far. I find QT a lot better in that regard.

I was a heavy user of Inkscape (GTK) back when there were no free alternatives, but when Krita (QT) matured I switched to it and never looked back.

> You also therefore can’t truly run Firebase locally.

To me this is just incredible. As an old timer who learned the ropes in the late eighties it never crossed my mind (what with computers always getting faster) that we would once again face the situation that developers can't run their software locally. It's like a bloody throwback to the sixties and the days of punchcards and timesharing systems. Thanks but no thanks!

It's such a friction factor that all other benefits of the platform get overshadowed by this. It's the same reason I'm vehemently opposed to my team using AWS Lambdas for anything non-trivial. And no, SAM is not the answer here.

SLC has pretty bad air because of the geography. Although not everyone lives there.
Your argument doesn't make much sense. Looking at this article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_human_height_by_countr...

The average American man older than 20 years of age is 5'9 and if you dig deeper into the source at:

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/series/sr_03/sr03-046-508.pdf

Less than 15% of men (aged 20 and older) are 6' or taller.

Once you factor in women, only about 7% of the population is 6' or taller.
At the same time for me sadly, it is a proof that there is no after life.

How often is an autopsy performed?

I don't know the answer but my guess is that the majority of deaths do not have an autopsy performed, especially in 65+ age range.

Edit -- I looked it up, sounds like ~7% of US deaths have an autopsy currently, so I'd guess that the data is influenced by healthcare quality (I didn't read it, perhaps they try to control for that?).
Once you swap a lot out and you get back some free memory linux will swap it back in on demand, which means a lot of micro-lag moments once apps start accessing now-in-swap things.

Linux assumes it's better to have not-used thing in swap while RAM is used for IO caching, that's why you see this behaviour, there is (AFAIK) no mechanism to go "okay, we have few gigs free, let's bring stuff from swap back".

Reboot-less method is to add new LV with swap and swapoff the old one but that's more PITA than restart...
