Their government is hostile like a friend’s chihuahua. It will make it known it doesn’t like you, but it ain’t going to do anything about it because it can’t.

The people on the other hand are truly wonderful human beings that would love to be able to have visitors or visit other countries themselves.

Who cares if some politicians feelings get hurt. People want to be free to do what they want in a supposedly free country.

It does seem like an unrealistically optimistic point of view for most people, and these are all centenarians who seem to have worked for unbroken decades on end. You would expect a great deal of similarity in their testimonies, but it also might never be possible to be more than halfway similar to people who have only worked half as many decades. Halfway there could get your attention though.

And if you're actually accomplishing something why would you want to quit?
TFA mentions the Sprite operating system, which brought us a few things, including (i recently discovered), pmake[0] (by way of Adam de Boor[1]) which was an early instance of parallelizing make(1), and begat BSD Make[2], which is lovely to use.

NT 3.51 was rock solid, I had it on my desk and it never crashed once during the ~year I ran it. Which was a huge deal for MS in those days. Of course they chose performance over stability in 4.x moving display drivers in to the kernel. Thankfully it didn’t affect servers much since they could be run on vga/svga drivers.
The inevitable march of entropy.
I’d say it’s a pretty reasonable course of action to stop loading a driver if crashes three times in a row, unless explicitly told otherwise.
Probably not as efficient in all aspects as giving a 10k€ fine to anyone caught littering.

I just recently started learning tcl/tk out of frustration with the other options for gui toolkits. Liking it quite a bit now that I have gotten over the hurdle of figuring out the sense of tcl which often felt like nonsense at the start. TK is especially nice, very easy to work with.
The cash is subject to inflation and poor central banking decisions. To be really safe, let’s just go back to a barter system. Just bring five eggs to the pub and get a pint.
I would hope that the accounts cannot be so thoroughly deleted.

But the point is valid.
In a number of countries there are a lot of shops that don't accept cash. Norway, for example, though there's a law slated for implementation soon that will force them to.

The ideal answer is, of course, that we shouldn’t put prices on most necessities, and the primary reason that we do is to threaten people into demeaning jobs.
I don't know, out of the software crises I can remember out of the top of my head, 2 (Heartbleed and Log4Shell) are from FOSS.
Which is the correct answer?

(Note that the logic in the response from the LLM is blatantly nonsense).
I found this interesting and tried the question with the top models from Antrophic, Openai, Google and Mistral.
Which all gave the wrong results. But if you preface the question with "Of these two decimal numbers ", the answers changed and the results where correct.
I suspect what we are seeing is that the models handles the numbers as version numbers, and not decimal numbers.
This is disappointing and confusing, but it also imo. underlines that giving them context on what you try to get them to do is worthwhile.
Even assuming you could narrow this down to a small enough set of people that can credibly be held responsible for creating the system we have now, and assuming you could impose consequences on them without violating their civil rights, and assuming they learnt their lesson and would actively take precautions to avoid their actions leading to such a systemic failure in the future, at best this would only influence those particular actors to avoid the previous failures. The next systemic failure would look quite different on the ground and come from different individuals pursuing different goals who would not have learnt any of the previous lessons. The only people who would see the connection would be more experienced people and/or intellectuals looking from a higher zoom level, but likely would not be empowered to really do anything to stop it given all the direct financial incentives motivating a much larger group of people to direct action.

If our culture had more respect for elders and/or thinkers that could be a start, but even then it would still be an uphill battle in a capitalist society.
Shows the dangers of infrastructure running on Windows. There are ways to build resilient systems that can survive shit like this. Look at the internet. Look at the phone system.
I have been using only 4k monitors in Linux for at least a decade and I have never had any problem with fractional scaling.

I continue to be puzzled whenever I hear about this supposed problem. AFAIK, this is something specific to Gnome, which has a setting for enabling "fractional scaling", whatever that means. I do not use Gnome, so I have never been prevented to use any fractional scaling factor that I liked for my 4k monitors (which have been most frequently connected to NVIDIA cards), already since a decade ago (i.e. by setting whatever value I desired for the monitor DPI).

All GUI systems had fractional scaling already before 1990, including X Window System and MS Windows, because all had a dots-per-inch setting for the connected monitors. Already around 1990, but probably already much earlier, the recommendations for writing any GUI applications was to use for fonts or for any other graphic elements only dimensions in typographic points or in other display independent units.

For any properly written GUI program, changing the DPI of the monitor has always provided fractional scaling without any problems. There have always been some incompetent programmers who have used dimensions in pixels, making unscalable their graphic interfaces, but that has been their fault and not of X Window System or of any other window system that was abused by them.

It would have been better if no window system had allowed the use of any kind of dimensions given in pixels in any API function. Forty years ago there was the excuse that scaling the graphic elements could sometimes be too slow, so the use of dimensions in pixels could improve the performance, but this excuse had already become obsolete a quarter of century ago.
I started with Renogy's 400W kit, 1,000W inverter, and a deep cycle marine battery. That's actually the main reason I only run it for a few hours a day right now, I knew I was pushing the wattage limits of the panels.

I'll probably end up adding a couple more 100W panels, August will really let me know whether this can do enough work to keep the pond cooler and more oxygenated.

I think the Luckfox Pico series is the lowest cost ARM-based board you can buy (that runs Linux) at the moment. Even the Pi Zero is $10. Prior to this, it was a board based on the Allwinner F1C100, but I don't think anyone made and sold a dev board except for a DIY business card [0].

Also Florida is a large swing state, and the Cubans who have fled there are the ones who hate the current government.

I wouldn't say fragile. A bit of Roman stuff is still functional today. The pyramids are holding up too. Cathedrals also have a massive stability streak. The stuff that has been falling over is mostly brick, steel, and concrete. And that's due to lack of required maintenance. I could even use the opposite word to describe them: strong and solid.
There seems to be a belief that if sanctions remain THIS YEAR, regime change will come to Cuba. It didn't work. Well, NEXT YEAR they will, they have to! Repeat for 50 years.

Most people fleeing Cuba blame current regime for their suffering with good reason. So they have a desire to see it overthrown.

Last month; SSH was nearly backdoored with nobody noticing. SSH, open source software, and one of the most important pieces of software ever written for security, was extremely close to failure.

If that had happened, an attacker very well could have ended the entire internet as we know it. Imagine if that hacker merely used that backdoor to get into Windows Update servers, Google Play servers, or sent out a CrowdStrike update.

We were within weeks of nothing being safe.
They didn't even bother to test this update. They don't have canary deployments. It's clear that their QA and development culture is complete garbage. That is not "just a mistake".

Fine. But Google can mass-migrate all of them to a new format any time they want. They don’t have the situation you used to have with Word, where you needed to remember to Save As Word 2001 format or whatever so you could open the file on another computer. (And if you forgot, the file was unreadable). It was a huge pain.

Who is CloudStrike?
It highlights the dangers of a mono culture as well.

Most importantly though, I remember my history professor who always said, "follow the money!" Do the CEO and the board have to pay (either in money out of pocket or time served in prison) for these problems (outages / oil spills / global warming / what not)? If not, what incentive do they have to make the likelihood of these problems dial down to zero?

Crowdstrike could have deployed the same broken code in their Linux or macOS agents. Nothing much for Windows to do if a kernel driver is segfaulting (when disabling it could be dangerous for users.)

As long as Google isn't the gatekeeper on what I'm able to use my phone for, I'm okay with this. Most of the apps I care about are not installed from Google Play anyways.
Don't!

Faithfulness to a single source is the biggest reason I see for failure In students. Be promiscuous. If a page, chapter, or even whole book bores you, scan ahead, put it on trial for a bit, and if it doesn't redeem itself quickly, replace it. The same goes (to the extent possible) for courses, teachers and even whole media. Only once you've tried the whole universe do you have reason to lower your standards and try something again from that universe that didn't meet your earlier ones. A book isn't a friend. There are no brownie points for completion.

Also most subjects are like that too. If you really want to know a natural language and hate the verb rules, focus on the rest of the language. If you soak up the verbs more slowly you'll still be hnderstandable, and you'll have fun, and most importantly you won't give up.

And programming languages are especially like this. Don't like class methods? Good! They suck anyway. Keep your functions pure. Don't like generics? Well that's a shame but it didn't stop the first many generations of Go programmers who couldn't use them if they wanted to. Etc.
Firebase can save you a lot of time at the beginning of your project, but it have so many issues once you start to scale even just a bit, it's such a pain to work with on a real project.(safety issues, bugs, all kind of stupid limitations, your bill can go up extremely easily, it has so many shortcomings)

I remember early in my career working at an investment bank on the trading floor as a support analyst.

I was asked by a very frustrated trader to modify the behaviour of one of the trading apps.. basically he shouted..."just figure it out". Yea he was bit of a twat but then trading desks have changed a lot today.

The app was from a 3rd party provider and making changes would take time of course, then they told me I could do this myself with Tcl. So in a day I figured out Tcl, made the change and it was in production the next day. Of course doing that now would be impossible but I remember the buzz from being able to make a real world change so damn fast.

It certainly shows the dangers of non-rigorous testing before transmission and non-rigorous testing before acceptance, but first-to-market and ignoring technical debt will remain the business mantra.

You're fighting a strawman. Noone is advocating pure cash here, just that the cash should remain an option.
Microsoft allows kernel modules freely [1]. Microsoft does have a process for signing kernel modules, but it is aimed against malware and does not discriminate on the nature of the module [2].

Apple removed support for kernel extensions in Big Sur [3]. Before that, you could sign kernel extensions as long as your Developer ID was permitted, without any requirement to submit the kernel extension to Apple for review [4]. Ironically, the main justification for Apple removing kexts was system stability, because a majority of companies are incapable of writing stable kernel extensions.

Nonetheless, Microsoft is historically more restrictive here than Apple.

What I like about JO is that he acknowledges the deep flaws of Tcl. And there never developed an inward looking bubble of Tcl/Tk advocates - the users were largely driven by pragmatism; it just got the job done.

This contrasted with Larry Wall and ethos/self-delusion of the Perl community - anyone critical of the language or its design was disregarded as simply lacking the intellect to appreciate the "poetry" of Perl - and the the language warts (better described as big pus-weeping boils) were actually features.
That is not an argument, friend.
This is cool, definitely new to me. I do wonder if this just moves the problem though. As the article explains:

> One crucial requirement is that the counter must be initialized before the first reference to the flexible-array member. Another requirement is that the array must always contain at least as many elements as indicated by the counter.

This means as the array is initialized and updated, you must keep the counter updated with it. Its just as easy to screw that up than it is to screw up the general problem of accessing elements that are out-of-bounds
This seems a false dichotomy to me.

Surely the optimal solution would be to spend a few hours / days in the first week picking the textbook, then 51 weeks studying it, as opposed to literally picking the first one you see and studying it for 52 weeks.

Yes, it's nice. Good for making Linux based USB devices (based on gadget subsystem).

It can run Arch Linux ARM if you enable swap on uSD card, and don't overdo it with your RSS. Systemd doesn't really support 64MiB RAM out of the box, though. It runs, but systemctl daemon-reload fails, eg.

You can ignore systemd boot flow and run Arch Linux using busybox or other init process, so you get all the Arch software/pacman + low memory use of cheaper PID 0 process and startup scripts. :)

The board runs best with pure statically compiled busybox running from initramfs. Boot times of the kernel are like 150ms because there's not really that much HW in the SoC or on the board to initialize. So you can plug the board into PC and you get USB device ready in ~2s.

Fun tiny thing to eg. hide your secret material from your PC.

translate-c is not required for compiling pure Zig code. However, the plan is to remove the "@cImport" built in. So if your project is importing a c header, in the future you'll add build step translating it from c to Zig, and then you import it into your Zig code as a module.
I think that's really underselling the political persecution that many have suffered in Cuba. It's far and away from just wanting reparations for land grabs.

We have sanctions on Cuba for the same reason we have sanctions on Russia and Venezuela now- we don't want to fund what their government is doing, and allying with them gives us little to nothing in return.

That said, it's pretty obvious that economic sanctions aren't bringing about regime change. I don't think anyone has the stomach for putting boots on the ground, though.
