Having low working memory combined with my working memory slots being overwritten my random digressions my brain decides to pursue, AKA ADHD, reducing the amount of state I need to track is one of the most significant factors for productive coding. I guess that's why I find FP style code that eschews mutable variables and collections and anything that breaks referential transparency(AKA the ability to understand code locally, without surrounding context) appealing.
Same is true of a bridge or a combustion engine though?
The community has a large amount of experience with debranding RHEL. CentOS did it for decades.

If there is a left over of Red Hat branding, you'd have a hard time proving any kind of purposeful infringement.
When talking about security updates it most certainly is. You can’t blame LE for that. That responsibilty lies squarely on manufacturers who are not even maintaining the bare minimum of security patching like an up-to-date root cert list.

The water companies could afford to address the problem, they just chose to afford dividends instead.

Absolutely, privatise and then increase taxation if needed to provide the service. But why do you need to, just give a water allowance per person and then adjust prices above the allowance to cover the cost of the service?

Nowadays Apple gives it away for free, but it used to be part of the paid iWork package (or bought separately from the Mac App Store).

Depends on how you define "out of date". Is iOS 15 getting new features? Nope. Can the iPhone 7 get iOS16 or newer? Nope. However Apple are still releasing security updates for iOS15, the latest update for iOS15 was just 20 days ago - https://ipsw.me/15.7.7 / https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213811

EDIT: However, I don't suspect that iOS15 will be supported for much longer, iOS14 last update was back in Oct 2021.
A lot of the people her saying its probably because she tweeted something the Government didn't like but I think its not much about her twitter usage. I have seen Naomi Wu's tweets and none of them seem to be the kind that would get her into trouble at all.

Unlike the rest here I have a feeling the this is more related to her wardrobe choice. Why?? Because her twitter account is not even blocked and I haven't seen any tweet deleted which is something that would definitely have happened if it was about her tweets.
https://www.scmp.com/news/people-culture/gender-diversity/ar...
I mean this female train passenger dress isn't even that revealing and yet she got harassed by a dude on the subway for wearing "scantily clad cloths".

Naomi is on a whole different level of scantily so much so that even twitter restricted her just last month. https://www.dexerto.com/tech/tech-youtuber-says-adult-conten...

I understand her reasons for that( she covered it in one of her Youtube videos) but most Chinese wouldn't. If twitter itself is not so tolerant can anything better be expected from Chinese authorities who are lot more socially conservative.???
https://www.instagram.com/reallysexycyborg/. The fact she was able to roam in public while just wearing bikini in China for these many years without anyone questioning her is just shocking to say the least.
I believe it's more like

* Suse releases a new distro, Purple Weed, rebased last public code of RHEL.

* With some reverse engineering effort or whatever, they provide migration path from RHEL to Suse Purple Weed ™. - for next few releases of RHEL.

* They expect customers to migrate to Suse Purple Weed ™ from RHEL (or clones), within a few versions.

Instead of RHELs proprietary-ish branch, they want their branch to take over and become defacto standard.

I guess.
I believe the idea is that RedHat will likely be more thorough with a commercial entity than they were with CentOS. Yes, I'm sure it's technically possible, but also possible they will get into some back-and-forth with RedHat.
Actually, quite the opposite. Going all the way upstream to Fedora, the trademarks are designed to be easy to change out. Going from Fedora to CentOS Stream shows one brand swap over. And if you have RHEL, you can easily compare the package sets between CentOS Stream and RHEL to see which packages are swapped for branding.

Both Red Hat and SUSE distributions make it easy because internally both companies need to do the trademark swap in their own engineering pipelines.
Based on the above why are you even pursuing VC?
Structured Query Server: SQL Queries for Apache CouchDB
> is there evidence that rhel is more stable than debian?

Well, yes Debian versions are supported for 3 years, RHEL for 10+.

"Stability" means changes, not crashes (although they can be caused by changes). A piece of software compiled 10 years ago will still run today and the systems can continue to get security updates, without needing to change the rug.
That seems like it pushes it further from science, no? The point of a well-crafted hypothesis is that if it doesn’t bear out, you know that it’s because one+ of your assumptions was wrong. Your ability to continue your scientific inquiry is pretty much == your ability to then identify which assumption was wrong.
Doesn't matter. IBM/Red Hat has deep pockets, they can drag competitors into meritless lawsuits for as long as they want just for the sake of deterrence. Having hired a former VP who probably knows a trade secret or two sounds like a good enough excuse to cry wolf.
I agree. Mocks tend to be complicated when the api of the dependencies they're mocking is complicated.
Faster. More accurate. Better selectivity.

The old technique was 'let somebody fool around in their back yard and hope they don't make poison or kill the plant or create a superweed'. Today it's 'make the flavor better without doing something random as well'

After all kudzu and bermudagrass were 'naturally genetically modified'. That worked out great.
I thought (happy to be corrected) that some are in quite small quantities, hence you have to eat a LOT of beans to get all of the one(s) least available there?
> If the OS didn't keep the pages around in swap after they were swapped back into RAM

Well, why it shouldn't? Don't forget, while the RAM can be prepared (zeroed) fast, the on-disk swap can't be prepared that fast (compared to RAM ofc), and you already under some memory and disk constraints (that's how you got to be using the swap in the first place) so adding another workload for cleaning up the swap is... not a good thing.

If you only would do 'zero on allocate' then sooner or later you would be in a position where you would need to stall the whole system until enough pages in the swap are available. And nor the users nor the programs like that.

> I don't see how having more space in swap could reduce writes to it.

Swap is just 'slow memory' part of your overall virtual memory allocation of the whole OS. If you have a small swap then you would be pressured to evict the data from it more often. If you have a big swap then less pressure => less evictions => less overwriting the same LBAs assigned to the swap file/partition => less writes overall.

> How are they not the same as the previous encrypted version of the same bytes if the encryption key stays the same?

Even if you write 00000000 to the filesystem block (a typical situation would be deleting a file and on the flash/SMR drives you would just call TRIM on those bytes^W LBAs) it's not 00000000 down there, it's some ciphertext.

> Are you sure TRIM/discard just wasn't enabled on the LUKS?

See above, no such thing as TRIM on an encrypted storage device.

There's this note about Octodns and Dnscontrol that needs clearing:

WARNING: OctoDNS assumes ownership of any domain you point it to. When you tell it to act it will do whatever is necessary to try and match up states including deleting any unexpected records. Be careful when playing around with OctoDNS.

That makes it sound like a design failure, but Octodns and Dnscontrol are not the same type of tool. Those tools are declarative, and libdns is imperative.

With Octodns you declare a state, and the tool makes whatever is needed to sync it. That's why it will delete any records that aren't declared in your configuration (you can configure it to ignore certain records, though). Hence, it's idempotent.

Libdns is imperative, you ask it to do certain task (be it creation, modification or deletion) regardless of the initial or final state.

So, both are useful, but for different tasks.
Everyone knows Linux is the number one for servers and embeded devices but the desktop market share is special.

> The passenger train operating company had failed to inform Railtrack and the signaller that the automatic warning system (AWS), which warns drivers of adverse signals, had been turned off in the cab of the HST.

But Ladbroke Grove was Railtrack's fault entirely (within the first few years of its creation). Meanwhile it's been 20 years since National Rail was created, when do we get to blame current governments and National Rail for bad infrastructure?
This is more engineering than science. For a given task, try a bunch of approaches and keep the best one.

Science would be replicable, ie demonstrate that this particular approach to prompt writing yields better prompts than some baseline prompt writing approach across an array of different problems.
For general population, I guess it's steam deck.

For programmer / power user, I guess linux desktop is now in good state, for programming I find very minimum difficulty on using Ubuntu. It is now a viable choice beside mac and windows.

Furthermore with steam proton and lutris we can play many games with linux which was impossible. The programming device and gaming device now can use single Linux os
Nim [1] is like Ada in these ways but less verbose:

echo repeat(s = "x", n = Foo.high) # named params
# var f: Foo = 15 # Will not compile

Fraktion, a new real estate investment platform on Tezos
We are proud to announce the launch of a brand-new fractional real estate investment platform Fraktion. This platform leverages the power of the Tezos blockchain, providing a fresh perspective on real estate investment and opening unprecedented opportunities for investors of all backgrounds.

We are trying to democratize access to real estate investments by capitalizing on decentralization and tokenization. This marks a significant milestone in the widespread adoption of #DeFi and the disruption of the traditional real estate industry.
Looking forward to the same happening in Greece :')

Office Space is from 1999, so people under 35 had little chance to watch it when it came out. It is a classic for those in the know, but not like Big Lebowski in the sense that everyone is talking about.

To our young people in IT: Watch "Office Space"! It is still hilarious and you may find it easier to recognize some more or less subtle repferences (for example to red staplers, tps reports etc.). Also, it features some solid rap songs by Scarface, Geto Boys etc..

It doesn't matter if it's _more_ stable. It is stable, it's backed by commercial support from the same company that produces it and there is a financial incentive for that same commercial entity to make good on their promises of support and stability.

This isn't a knock at Debian in any way and has nothing to do about whether or not it's more stable (in terms of uptime) or not.

I, for one, think it's a good thing that people are entitled to their mail regardless of the profitability of their mail route. That's the point of a public service.
Is it? I thought it just ranked the (manual) prompts against each other.
I’m guessing you aren’t from the US because in the US there is not much prestige in the title of engineer, but it seems to be a title people in Europe get weirdly hung up on. If anything, software engineering positions are more prestigious than most traditional engineering positions here.
“Engineer” originally just meant someone who builds engines (in a broad sense of that word). The formal titles requiring certification, etc. are the more recent development.

All I can encourage is that people go look at a picture of the scene in question. It's a childlike drawing with no relation to real world geography at all. Its not "similar but wrong", it's utterly unrecognisable. It's there to show that the main character has no understanding of geography...
Just a couple of tips here:

- don't pitch it as a tool for Code Review automation if it is actually a tool for refactoring and static analysis

- if you are targeting developers, probably best to write more specific, concrete claims about how the tool actually functions, rather than using the kind of hyperbolic marketing language used here that is kind of vague
I will never forget what the media did to Corbyn. Absolute joke.
Just want to say that all of these replies missed the mark so much by debating desktops and desktop modes and BSD on a game console...
While this graph says that 3% of desktop users are running Linux, what it means is GNU/Linux and not just the Linux kernel. The steam deck runs GNU/Linux as the OS regardless of it being in desktop mode or console mode. a Chromebook runs Linux, but that is still ChromeOS. Any android device runs Linux, but that is Android. we are not talking about the kernel. We are talking about GNU on top of Linux as an OS that people use in some way as a desktop.

I do not believe that there should be any connection between being vegan and any pro-life/pro-choice opinion.

I am vegan, but at least for me this only means that I am against killing any living being, and especially any sentient living being, without a good reason.

Killing an animal because I want to eat something or killing a human because I need some cash are not good reasons.

Unfortunately, there are also good reasons for killing some living beings, including animals and even humans, whenever the alternatives are worse beyond any reasonable doubt.
Eating bugs is not some radical new thing that noone has ever tried. Just go to a market in Southeast Asia and you will see.

From what I understand they are not getting paid since the paradigm changed: "the way it's changed is most of these streaming services focus on a metric called ARPU, which is the average revenue per user", "the main difference is it used to be that the incentives were linked. So the writers and the studios were trying to get people to watch the show and get high ratings and get people to pay attention to the show. Today, the streamer is trying to get people to subscribe to their service, so they're looking more at the aggregate of the service versus the individual show." [1]

If you cannot figure out, then you are not working with Linux, despite 30y+ of experience.

No lender is going to lend a business money just so it can pay the owners.

They must have used the debt to finance operations, as opposed to cutting the dividend or even putting more money in.

This allowed them to continue to have profits in the short term, at the expense of higher interest costs in the long term (which probably cause higher prices for customers in the long term).

People who have not studied and been given that distinction in engineering going on to call themselves engineers is the reason the term is overloaded.
