Yes, but then of course Microsoft is being obligated to open part of kernelspace to competitors, which is arguably "OK" from a competitive regulation perspective, but that then places a special burden on competitors to maintain code hygiene given the potential for crashes. It makes CrowdStrike's negligence all the more unacceptable.
It's unusual for people to experience mentally distracting hunger pangs before lunch on a regular basis, because people tend to eat larger dinners and/or breakfasts to get them to lunch without significant discomfort. Debilitating hunger is an unusual experience that comes from skipping meals for some unusual reason, a break in somebody's normal routine.
One thing that's not all that obvious from this large chunk of assembly is that Clang manages to rewrite

(x >= 'a' && x <= 'z')

into

(x - 'a') < <some constant>

which saves one instruction (and sometimes, a register load due to weird opcode encoding thingies).

I am a fan of small, committed, and accountable teams. Unfortunately, sometimes the management layer is stifling them. I recently worked on a team of four devs where we had... 9 (nine!) managers in every meeting. None of them were able to help us get specs, architecture reviews/approvals, or new environments. For nine months.
Depends on the state. Having the cops called at least has a record of the incident. If you’re willing to post a recording sign at your place and get a record of their behavior, it would also be a starting point to clear up any arguments or for further steps.

In some places there is a step where if a person is a danger to them self or others, you can fill out a form for court appointed psych out patient therapy.

You can get an involuntary hold on someone but then getting them out can be difficult and expensive. It may take a doctor, nurse, EMT, cop, and/or judge to agree with you and they see the truly crazy people who really need a bed.

Other than that, trying to barter with the person, or a cop. Depends on the size of the city.

Keep in mind, there could be backlash and failure to get them help. We had to cut a friend and her husband from our circle because all steps failed. We grew tired of the same repeated stories with slightly different plots. The person tried to get other friends fired by making up stories. I feel like we did all we could and needed to move on with our lives.

The definition(s) of pornography given here seem to all be pretty heteronormative… does gay porn harm women and girls? What about lesbian porn made by and for lesbian audiences?

The idea (from Laura Mulvey) that the camera is inherently male has never sat well with me, nor has the idea (from Andrea Dworkin) that women who create porn for other women starring other women are violently harming any (much less all) of the women involved.

That said, I do understand that the cherry-picked examples given (even with the understanding that this is by far the easiest fruit to reach) do represent actual harm. A lot of porn is bad for everyone involved, I’m just not sure it’s inherently bad.

This is like saying a web company is a DB company because they just built their software with a DB as their backend.

It's a silly nomenclature that some VCs and the entrepreneurial community started labelling the AI companies as GPT wrappers, to pretend that they are less useful, when in reality what matters is if they have users that are happy with their service.

And we can all be clear on this, at the moment, except Meta (because they use it for their recommendation algorithm), all AI companies using H100s are losing money, and lots of it.

I just read an article that OpenAI will spend $7B this year to make $1B ARR, and they are literally the leader in that space (well, Claude is better at the moment, but we expect them to release a better model since they started training it a while ago).

Every AI company doing LLMs are default dead companies on their way to bankrupcy. The ones that provide the API layer are even more likely to get to chapter 11 with the high training + staffing costs.
I think it works better (please allow me to change it) if Microsoft is the hotel. Crowdstrike is the restaurant inside the hotel. The restaurant is serving poisoned food to the guests, who assume it is a decent restaurant because it is in their hotel.

Also the restaurant has their own entrance without security and questionable people are entering regularly, and they are sneaking into the hotel rooms and stealing some items, breaking the elevator.

At the same time, the hotel is in a litigation process with the restaurants association, because in the past they did not allow any restaurant on their premises. The guests, naturally, do not care about this, since their valuables have been stolen, and they have food poisoning. The reputation of the hotel is tarnished.

> If customers paid for linux or mac support there is no shortage of developers ready to cater to that.

If enough of them do. A single customer can't convince companies to add that support by paying a reasonable amount.

Since there's no collective bargaining happening, this does not show a lack of willingness to pay.

Also, you're ignoring all the software that is already paid for and often doesn't have developers any more.

On Amiga I'm amazed of AmiGemini+AmiSSL, a Gemini client for an OS from 1993 (a 68030 it's requiered and a 68040 encouraged, but hey...) whlle Windows XP still lacks a native client (and compiling LibreSSL on it with w32Devkit it's a breeze). And don't even start me talking about Windows 95/98...

Best device for a kid to learn how to code?
Hi there,

My son is 9 and is super interested in learning how to code. Being a developer myself, I can teach him that.

Yet, we don't have any spare computers, and he has to share mine. Which is fine, but I often have other things to do, even when I'm next to him to guide him on his journey with Scratch and others.

What device would you suggest?

I'm still super reluctant to buy him his own device. While learning code is great, this could also mean possible unsupervised access to the Internet, with all the good and insanely bad that could happen.

Thanks
Quite a few actually.

And, no. Most I spoke to certainly did not prefer it.
There's an important caveat with this: It does not work cross-origin, and there is no way to make it work except for including some JS like svg4everybody. CORS does not apply.

ebook reader, play games, apps to learn stuff (i.e. kids learning the alphabet or playing math games like Matific), use it for "portable TV" (you install Netflix, HBO, YT etc. where you can download the movies/series you want and you can travel with it and not use your phone's battery when on a plane/train), photo-frame (like the author did)(you can buy a cable that 'corners' and in a same-color-background you won't be seeing the cable).

Oh, and you can install Skype (or whatever) to talk to far-away-family, so you can make 'calls' (considering that calling a cellphone in an another country is cheaper with Skype).

Well today I learned something; and I'm about as far from far right as one can be.

> What things do you think should be done (or not done) for poor drivers?

What you've said makes sense, and I agree with it all. As for poor drivers, a quick thought would be: We make public transport so good they don't need to drive, and for those who must, perhaps subsidise some purpose-built EVs (small vans, milk floats etc) that enable them to work (and in many cases provide an important service).

None of that is a short term goal, but I don't see any progress towards it, even in the medium term, try not to make driving for work unaffordable, but perhaps restrict the driving of "problem" vehicles to work-only; not everyone can cycle or get a bus to work, and not everyone can work from home.

It seems to be the status quo in this country (and probably others) to push on with banning/restricting things that are bad, for brownie points, without actually doing anything about replacing the purpose they serve.
This reminds me of a talk I went to at the 2020 ALIFE conference, in which the speaker presented an infinitely-scalable architecture called the "Movable Feast Machine". He suggested relinquishing hardware determinism - the hardware can give us wrong answers and the software has to recover, and in some cases the hardware may fail catastrophically. The hardware is a series of tiles with no CPU. Operations are local and best-effort, determinism not guaranteed. The software then has to reconcile that.

It was quite a while ago and my memory is hazy tbh, but I put some quick notes here at the time: https://liza.io/alife-2020-soft-alife-with-splat-and-ulam/

Yup, this is absolutely a "me" problem.
Life just gets in the way. I'm on call, the kids ask to go to the pool, I leave my phone in the locker forgetting that I'm on-call.
I visit friends, forget to bring my laptop etc.

I realize it's a "me" problem and therefore I'm looking for a solution. Others in the company have the same problem.
That said: This is my very own company and I have a great sense of responsibility but I also have a shit-ton of other things in my head and I'm not the only one with this issue here.

> Not sure why driving 70kmh on a country road is more dangerous than going 130kmh on a highway.

If you hit the edge of the highway, you'll likely bounce off the barrier and survive.

If you go over the edge of a national road at 70kmh you'll likely end up in a ditch/roll the car, dangerous at any speed.

Ham radio is not that hobby. For example, broadcasting is not allowed, one person-to-person comms. Subverting censorship? Not really. There's no cussing on the air, English only, make your contact to deliver info and move on. Maybe you get a rag chew on a local repeater, but that conversation will be about housework or health problems. Nobody is subverting anything in ham radio, though some of the tacticoolies might pretend they are.

Now, do you want a hobby that lets you explore the physics of antennas, how our atmosphere actually works, build your own experimental low power QRP rig just to see how far you can throw a CW(Morse) signal with a tiny bit of juice, or maybe help set up comms for local events or emergencies? Yes, ham radio is that hobby.
Here's a short story that I just quickly wrote that alludes to the title. It's also something I actually do.

__The Chair That Changed My Life__

There is the chair.

Sit on it. Tell yourself: this is my life now.

"But, but, I want to watch a YouTube video! I want to be on Instagram."

No you little media fueled thrill-seeker. You sit on the chair.

"But I AM FUCKING BORED! For the love of God please let me out!"

If it helps mister thrill-seeker, you can do anything on the chair that you want.

"Anything?"

Anything. As long as you don't get off the chair.

"I'm gonna sing!"

Go right ahead.

"I'm gonna dance on the chair."

It's yours to do so.

"I'm gonna... I'm gonna... Wait a second, I should file my taxes!"

Oh, taxes? Hmm, that sounds important. Alright then, feel free to get off the chair or whatever it is that you need to do to fill your taxes - such as using a computer.

"Thanks!"

But remember, when you're done, get back on the chair. And no, no secret laptop smuggling with internet! This is an electronic free zone.

---

This exercise has given me some success in allowing myself to be media free at the times where I need it. I invented the exercise by at one point being so frustrated by my digital media addiction that I just told myself "you'd rather live your life on a chair? Fine! Feel free to do so. See what it does!" Then I got bored and I realized there was a key to explore there, and here we are.
Thanks for the great overview! This is why I'll never want to deal with HVDC: all this, with increased risk of arcing, and "conventional" electric shock, no thanks

'echo' is a shell builtin. argv[] length restrictions only apply to exec. it's the same reason the script works, which uses more or less the same technique, only in a 'for' loop, which, is also builtin.

even if it were an issue.. say on a terminal without working scrollback.. you can just as easily:

echo 1*

When waiting for lifts, instead of focusing on my phone in the vain hope of finding something useful and enlightening, I have a quick chat with those around me.

Unsurprisingly, the security guards and other neighbours now say hi to me regularly.
I agree with this advice. But know there’s always an expert somewhere who says something when it comes to parenting. Most parents really are trying their best with the skills they have. Hang in there.
> In reality, they made absolutely zero effort to understand me when my pronunciation differed slightly from the correct one, on countless occasions. And believe me, I tried.

I found this quite interesting about Japan. I went on vacation there recently, and especially in more rural places many people do not speak English. I don't speak Japanese, just picking up a few words while there. The people there put an immense amount of effort trying to understand what you're saying, e.g. somehow we managed to explain to a taxi driver the location of our hotel using only some elementary words like water, station, train tracks, up/down/left/right, yes/no, please/thank you. They are also very appreciative and often find it quite funny/interesting when you try to speak Japanese, even just simple words. As another example we also had an incident where a random passerby noticed we were trying to find our way, so (I assume) he asked us where we were trying to go, and then led us to the right bus stop. IME any similar situation in the US would more likely lead to people avoiding eye contact or pretending to be busy than trying to help, certainly not proactively without being asked to

Intel contributes Linux RISC-V NUMA support for ACPI based systems
It is also not just electronic distractions. I have seen parents who are wealthy enough so they can afford to fill their kids life with a regiment of after school activities. Monday French tutoring, Tuesday/Thursday basketball practice, Wednesday math tutoring, Friday swimming and German tutoring, Saturday basketball game and piano, Sunday sailing. And of course homework crammed into every free time around these. Not much time around that to experience boredom ever.

Naturally not everyone can afford this kind of pace so this is not a problem which involves everyone. But the insidous problem is that these parents are convinced that they are doing everything right for their kids. They are the most likely who can change course and incorporate such research.
> For example, lets consider that we wrote to the sector 1024 on the SDCARD, and this address got initially mapped to physical sector 1024 itself on flash. Later we overwrite the contents, but this time write cannot go to the same physical address because it needs to be erased before programmed again.

Maybe someone here will know the answer to something I've been wondering for a while: When appending to a file with writes smaller than a sector, does this remapping process trigger every time? Or is the controller smart enough that it can append without remapping, even though to overwrite would need remapping?

Obviously for an SD card used for saving photos or videos you could write a sector at a time - but for an SD card in a temperature logger or similar, your appends might be a lot smaller.
Probably unpopular opinion: git submodules are just fine. They're "just" lacking a consistent UI. They have improved over the years, but the default config sucks because the defaults emulate the original, awful, UX. With proper configuration, it's much better, although there are still pain points (like rebase conflicts in non-submodule parts messing things up if you don't git submodule update)
"Enabling" is probably a better word than "forcing"?
This is absolutely true, though perhaps hard to understand just put simply like this. Sitting in silence is not the solution, but it will cause a solution to occur within you.

Sitting quiety will make you self-reflect. Self reflection will reduce stress and fear. Reduction of stress and less fear is a reduction in problems caused by human error, and negativity towards eachother (due to fear).

Is there any Linux compatible file system which will be mounted redundantly without any special mount options?

So that for instance a 64 gigabyte would have a filesystem with 32 gigabyte space but with a lot of redundancy?

I know there are many ways to achieve similar outcomes but all I know of relies on knowing beforehand how to mount the thing.
