You do realize that in corporations such as Microsoft, multiple people work on the same code, and code gets rewritten all the time, right?

Dave Plummer cannot know about any changes after he left the company.

You seem to be not aware of that.

I agree that handling all those conditions is the job of a proper service manager.

I disagree that systemd is a proper service manager. Systemd is horribly complicated in comparison with what is actually needed to implement a proper service manager, as demonstrated e.g. by D. J. Bernstein's daemontools and their many derivatives.

Perhaps systemd is better these days, but a few years ago when I have tried systemd on one of my servers I have stumbled upon a bug that could be explained not by some random programmer mistake but only by a bad global architecture of the program. That bug made me mistrust the competence of the systemd creators, so I have never tried to use it again. Moreover, systemd does not provide any feature that I could consider useful and that is not available in alternative service managers, so there were no reasons for further experiments with it.

(That systemd bug was a bug that I have never seen in a computer without systemd, from the mainframes of 50 years ago to the latest computers, regardless of the operating system. Due to a race condition in systemd, sometimes the shutdown or reboot of a computer could fail, with the computer remaining stuck in a deadlock, i.e. in an infinite loop, without properly saving all state and closing all resources.)

Show HN: Chrohime – cross-platform C library wrapping Chromium's native UI code
I wrote this library to explore the possibility of adding native UI APIs to the Electron framework, and I think the concept works quite well.

The development (or experiment) stopped partly because I left MSFT, and partly because a CI infrastructure for building Chromium is too high for my own pocket.

There is probably no future for it unless some organization is willing to sponsor the development, but this is a very cool project and I hope someone else except me will like it.

If you have something of interest to Beijing and you’re doing something shameful or illegal in America, and they have evidence, they have leverage. This is human asset development 101.

Most people don’t have skills or information relevant to a foreign state. But some do, and for them being mindful about not giving a foreign adversary blackmail leverage is prudent.
Doesn't matter. Hezbollah are subject to sanctions by the EU as a designated terrorist organization. Presumably, that applies to all companies operating within the EU.

Sanctions violations are very much a "do not pass go" style crime, and this looks like it was an entire batch that was delivered directly to Hezbollah.

> pick things like "which of these cron daemons should I install".

And we're back at it: systemd seemingly has plans to eliminate cron. I was not impressed when I have been pulling my hair out on why certain jobs in Ubuntu still run despite being removed from cron files. Turns out, systemd now has 'timers'.

So, mark my words: a few Ubuntu releases down the line, cron will become an optional package and after a couple more it won't even be available.

Up next: sudo.

Do you have an example for such a site? Where does one even find a site without tracking nowadays?

How is such a banner even supposed to work when there is no choice for the user to make?

I mean, someone has to make that banner, so it's quite a way from the rash decision to its execution, where at any point (preferrably immediately) someone could and should step in and say "we are not required to do that and we should not spend any money on it". In my experience, non technical deciders are often sadly under-advised, sometimes because tech people who might know better fail to communicate even very simple facts like in these in an understandable way.

Maybe with TSMC building chips in the US, that'll be one less reason for the US to defend Taiwan.
This is still a matter of interpretation. Here is an exchange that this same author has had with Stallman about Stallman's opinion on the GPLv3 (and his intention) [0]:

> Specifically, I asked him on 2012-05-05:

> > [so], these words in GPLv3: “The information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been made.” mean that the proprietary software that is not a combined work with the GPLv3'd work must also function?

> Stallman replied on 2012-05-06 with:

> > Absolutely. And I wrote it specifically to do that!

I don't think this has ever been litigated, so we don't know what a judge and jury would find, but I suspect that if they found Bradley Kuhn is right, there may be a GPLv4 that is more explicit about requiring the device to keep functioning as it was, not just as a dev board as he calls it in these slides. And that GPLv4 would apply automatically to lots of GPL software going forward (because of the "or later" clause that many projects are using).

I also think he is explicitly contradicting his earlier article to some extent. He also mentions in that that the whole original purpose of the GPL, as also told by Stallman, was to be able to fox your own printer by patching its code when you find a bug in it. It's clear that "turn the printer into a dev board by blowing a fuse" doesn't achieve this original goal at least - whether it achieves the license terms as written is more debatable.

Nah; Ireland's the biggest per capita contributor, and the Netherlands is fourth (after Luxembourg and Belgium).

(Not sure what's going on with Belgium; Ireland, Luxembourg and to some extent the Netherlands have rather inflated GDPs, which drives up contribution amounts, but Belgium's isn't particularly high.)
It looks like Israel wants to be secure. It was attacked in October and since then retaliated to attacks.

It is not a terrorist attack, it was an reaction of Hezbollah indiscriminately firing rockets into Israel. That are terror attacks. Something UN troops are supposed to stop, but that is another topic.

You can look up what Hezbollah wants and that is nothing else than the elimination of Israel. The terror is almost exclusively one sided here and it is sourced from radical fundamentalism.

And no, Israel doesn't not murder, rape and torture, that is purely projection.

Not really. If U.S. cash is useful, so are dollars in a bank. Not in the very short term. But over a timeline of more than a week.

Storing tens of thousands of dollars of cash for an emergency is stupid, because almost every emergency that takes out the banking system renders that currency worthless. You’re better off having hard supplies or forex you can trade for exfiltration.
If only it was that easy. Unfortunately, systemd-resolved is a sticky piece. You have to `apt-get uninstall` it, then `rm /etc/resolv.conf` and replace it with a sane file (`nameserver 1.1.1.1` or whatever).

For previous versions I had to `chattr +x` as well because systemd stuff of course will not let me have my resolver.

No, according to the FSF and SFC at least. The goal is to allow end users to patch the GPL parts of their physical device. Whether the device has to keep functioning as before is more debatable, but being able to run the code in a separate, emulated, device is not good enough.
They didn't indiscriminately set off thousands of bombs in supermarkets and homes. That's not at all an accurate description of what happened. That would be terrorism.

They gave a terrorist organization the ability to give its most important operatives a bomb to wear. And then they detonated that bomb. That's not terrorism. It's about as targeted of an attack as you can imagine. Blowing up terrorists is objectively a good thing.

The entire point of the single paragraph linked by OP is waterfall was a misunderstanding, not a necessity of the era.

If you want to see a valid method "back in the 90s", see DSDM:

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

Meanwhile, the Royce paper that takes down the simplistic series of steps arranged in a waterfall, is a sort of formalization of an approach better visualized in late 80s as "the spiral model":

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

The concept of both, well before the 90s, is you don't know what you don't know, so its faster and more successful and costs less to make, learn, and document from prototypes before you know, to establish what you're really making.
According to https://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/ macOS 15 is not certified.
I believe systemd-resolved is easily the absolute worst piece of systemd infrastructure. And especially so in Ubuntu! In 24.04 you can get away by uninstalling it then creating a sane /etc/resolv.conf; previous Ubuntu distros required a bit more than that.

This is what's happening in my org, talented people was leaving consistently (5-6/month), things are currently maintained with skeleton crews -- the ones that are maintained, the rest are accidents waiting to happen.

If you read most of the mathematics articles you will be forgiven to think that there is no contributions made by the Middle Ages mathematicians ever. For some unknown reasons the writers will always mention and not missing Greek mathematicians contributions in this case Euclid, and then conveniently and ignorantly skipped about a thousand years by going straight to the Renaissance mathematicians in this particular case Gauss, who's the main character of the article.

Yep. Just because we don't like something doesn't mean that there are good alternatives. If I were in Tawian, Option A is status quo. Option B is to put the best and brightest into diplomatic posts. And they probably have a stack of other options they're thinking about. But all else failing Option Imperial-Subject is a much better one than Option Taipei-Becomes-A-Pancake-And-Then-Imperial-Subject. If there is going to be war it'd better be war with a credible good outcome to it.

The US could step in and police this back when it was 8x, 4x, 2x the size of China. I'd be surprised if it can now. China is pretty powerful.
Please explain to me how exactly Mossad got these pagers into only Hezbollah hands. It was just a shipment of pagers that was interfered with while in transit.

Apple has a top notch logistics and security processes which had mitigated the issue of supply chain attack in China which his willing and capable of producing such attacks.

Moving some production to the USA might induce some sloppiness in this due a perceived inferior risk.

Understanding Mimblewimble (MWEB on Litecoin), Part 2
in some cases the value doesn't really exist. if someone owns 75% of a company from the founding, and they sell 25% for $100000 then its worth $400000 in a valuation whether the starting capital was $1000000 or $1

selling the smallest amount of share possible for the highest amount you can get can easily balloon the "paper" value of a company, but that money doesn't really exist anywhere.

it will change when things go public, but often the initial price is based on some vapourous guess like this...
I have a few qualms with this app:

1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software.

2. It doesn't actually replace a USB drive. Most people I know e-mail files to themselves or host them somewhere online to be able to perform presentations, but they still carry a USB drive in case there are connectivity problems. This does not solve the connectivity issue.

3. It does not seem very "viral" or income-generating. I know this is premature at this point, but without charging users for the service, is it reasonable to expect to make money off of this?

I'm not claiming what sales & management do is worthless, it's just lopsided (in this case). If you force programmers to sit in an open floor plan with people who are loud on the telephone, not once but every day, and not only expect them to perform but also ignore their complaints - it is incompetence and/or lack of empathy. In the end 80% of senior devs walked out and got another job btw, maybe that is telling you I'm not just making stuff up from my own tunnel vision.

Productivity is not progress, for sure. You can be very productive building the wrong thing. I've been there, wasting a year on some crap that was canned. But you need to be able to deliver and not actively frustrate your devs that want to get shit done. Otherwise the 'adapted to the market' is just a scam at best.

btw, not every dev is the same. Some actually do like being in the office, even putting on music and have lots of small talk. That's also fine, if it works for them. And I also see benefit of going to the office myself (once a week or so).

I'm pointing out the pattern of sales & management incompetently projecting their own needs and biases onto the whole company and treating devs as grunt workers, forcing them to comply with their rules and fulfill their needs regardless of how it impacts their ability to concentrate and deliver. Software development is not grunt work.

I see fulltime RTO orders as a reflection of this. Smarter management will understand what devs actually need and take that seriously. Usually this kind of management has a technical background. Office can be a part of that, sure, but wfh invariably is too, I'm convinced.

I've worked for dozens and dozens of managers in my career. Some will go out of their way to buy you the best laptop, even make you coffee and give up the best seat in the office just so that you can work in peace. Because they know that such investments in their staff will pay off. Then, others will loudly interrupt you, deny any small request out of petty resentment, and blame any and all problems on your laziness - that is if they actually show up to notice there is a problem.
I grew up on a farm in the 90's in Poland (In 89' Poland dissolved PPR/PRL - basically just got rid of communism so villages were quite poor) and I did have to work in the field as that was our main source of food (honestly probably a lot of that was because of the culture, not poverty - everyone grew their own stuff and our grandparents which lived through WW2 still remembered even worse times and did not trust the economy at all).

Honestly - it was not that bad. For your own sustenance (literally when you don't sell much) you do not need that much land and the work is not 24/7 every day. There are a couple of tough weeks in the year but much more downtime than you might realize (like, you barely need to do almost anything entire winter and most of the other seasons actually. 1-2h tops to feed the livestock and bring some wood/coal to the furnace).
It would be a different story if farming was our business and we wanted to raise money for something significant - but if you don't have any ambitions like that - village life is pretty easy.

I guess it depends on the type of said office job, but currently I work as a senior dev contractor in the city and it's barely better, if it is at all (I still can't really make up my mind if I'm happier). All of my extra money goes to mortgage (I "own" an apartment, not a house) and after work I do the exact same things I did when I worked on the farm to unwind (read, play games, nap, listen to music) because that's all the energy I have. And then we need to add all of the extra stress and competitiveness that comes with this line of job, wile "on the farm" I was already "at the bottom" and didn't stress much.
There are a lot of scenarios on the farm where something is very urgent sure but they are not really stressful. If some farmer says they are - he did not experience real stress (legal threats, danger of losing not only the source of food but entire house + going into debt, long economy downturns without hope of things getting better [as compared to temporary stuff like the weather destroying the current year's crops], lots of stuff).
