It would be nice for those of us not in the know to see an example of more-or-less similar configuration expressed in the respective systems for comparison. Although I tend philosophically towards the declarative route, I don't really have a good understanding of the issues involved in this specific instance - but I'd like to.

So they are basically suggesting to manipulate Wikipedia in order to paint a worse picture of systemd?
This sentence (if it's not obvious) is a hint to invest energies into making debian work fine without systemd instead of countless whining and crying but in the end doing nothing.

There may be some people opposed to systemd, but there have been votes that saw systemd as the clear winner for the default init system. Why should the majority of users who are FOR systemd bending to some users who don't like systemd out of some philosophical view? Instead of behaving like a little child, people can work on letting Debian run fine without systemd (which IS the fact today, i can simply switch between sysvinit and systemd just by installing a package).

And in the end, you should remind yourself that this is only about the default for one linux distribution. You will still be able to use sysvinit if you like. There is choice. The majority wants systemd. The minority wants sysvinit. Only because the opposers are loud and make a lot of noise about this doesn't change the fact that they are a relatively small number. Changing the default is the only sane thing to do.
I built a filtering proxy module on node. It filters by domain (only) and works with HTTPS. It still chokes once in a while on malformed responses but can still provide efficient filtering with good performance.

As someone who manages a large Debuntu fleet, please don't speak on my behalf. If I had the opportunity to vote for systemd it would have been 'no'.

Why? Address space is cheap, and a is simply map'd to the file.

I don't have any text files bigger than 64 bits of address space. Do you?

> the ability parse different encodings and line endings

vi doesn't do this. acme doesn't do this. I would agree it's a popular feature, but I still think it's a mistake: If every program on my computer has to continuously parse and deparse bytes into text, and be aware of all the different things every other operating system calls text, then it seems like a waste; it seems redundant. It's a waste of code, and of memory, and I think any mere editor that "needs" this lacks sufficient composition.

Hope someone knowledgeable can comment on this. The impression from the short making-of documentaries packaged with Pixar's films, is that they're completely animated, voiced and viewable with very basic working rendering, and the proper render is something that in principle could be done as a final complete step.

Of course, that's probably a bit of movie magic; in the real world there's surely some iteration.

It's better than anything in Africa.

In Asia/Pacific, it ties Iran, and beats everyone else.
No, you code to get the job done in an optimal way which usually means for the minimum amount of cost.

Given that the cost for a developer is roughly constant while computation time gets cheaper, this means that nowadays it's best to write code that is quick to modify and thus cheap to modify. The way to do this is to make the code easy to read.

(There are exceptions where you end up writing difficult Fortran code on a supercomputer, but usually "You don't code for the machine, you code to be read by another human (possibly you) in the future." is a good rule of thumb for efficiency.)
Sure, feel free to fork Debian. Just don't call your fork Debian or "Pure Debian" or anything silly like that. Debian is a registered trademark of Software in the Public Interest, Inc., and as we saw with the Standard Markdown debacle, people do not like when names of established stuff is hijacked.

I feel that the only reason Gnome needs SystemD is because RedHat said so. I honestly think making a DE require a specific init system is silly.
a is a mapped string. You could do:

c=[];n=0;a.lines{|x|c<<(n+=x.size)-1}

but $"\n" wasn't special, and this allocates tons of memory. tinco's implementation is much closer to what k is actually doing.
I was not. Thank you. What is the source of the performance figures?
One benefit to a short program is that there's not much code to rewrite if you can't read something.

This doesn't happen very often, but I find the thought comforting.

Like what exactly? This is a non issue. systemd has very little actually running in PID1.
You seem to have misconstrued what I attempted to say.

I was confused as to what was even being discussed, hence my request for clarification. I wasn't sure if the OP was discussing "disdain towards women" (what I call sexism, henceforth sexism[fajitas]) or "women making different choices than men" (henceforth sexism[pron]).

I do find sexism[pron] innocuous and I take it you disagree. I do hope to prevent you from imposing your will on those women who behave in ways you disagree with. But that belief is completely unrelated to the question of whether a larger % of people will assume the word "sexism" means sexism[fajitas] or sexism[pron]. It's based solely on the underlying properties that sexism represents.

Sexism must be fought whether or not it entails "disdain towards women", or merely social tradition.

This is the exact rhetorical fallacy I'm describing. Let me make the fallacy obvious:

"Murder must be fought whether or not it entails 'taking the life of another against their will', or merely 'puppies'."

If you want to make two separate arguments that both of these concepts should be opposed, do it. But recognize that they are two separate concepts, even if you use the same word to describe them.

Richard Branson Responds to Elon Musk's Criticism
I'm not even "anti-systemd". I'm actually in the process of implementing systemd for the firmware of an embedded target in $dayjob because socket activation is actually a good idea and happened to work well when I played with it.

But a switch to a different init system shouldn't break your system so badly that it no longer boots. And yet that's what happens if you rely on keyscript to unlock your drives in /etc/crypttab.

Apparently the answer is to write a different custom C program for every possible permutation of obtaining key material to feed to cryptsetup: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-Aug...

... which is somehow more clean than a 4 line keyscript.

... and certainly lends credence to the idea that systemd just isn't unixy.
Interesting but it lost me when I had start to have to do pixel accurate manoeuvring. That was challenging when I was 16, but it feels so pointless now (30 years later).

PIA gets a lot of recommendations but no one ever mentions that a great number of sites prevent you from using them from the PIA addresses. I've had a lot of trouble with financial and e-commerce sites in particular (which are also the situations I really care about using a VPN).

I think it might be that PIA is frequently used for DDOS and abuse since it's so inexpensive.

Just something I wish I had known before signing up.
Dollar sign eye will cause the Vee Eye text editing program to insert the subsequent text at the end of the current line in a text file (in this hypothetical instance the title of the article), until it encounters the special colon operator, at which point the double you and queue letters will cause the program to write those changes to disk, and then quit.

Is that because you think it's somehow technically inferior or because you you've learnt a whole bunch of skills and don't really want to have to replace them? I mean, would you like to see the init system change, period?

You mean that famous talk when the very poorly prepared presenter ("Datenwolf") took the stage to trash-talk and spread misinformation about large parts of the Linux Desktop, evidently oblivious to important requirements like accessibility that modern desktops such as Gnome and KDE are designed to meet, which LP had to correct by comments?
'gibberish', eh?

Ouch.

I refute it thus: science itself cannot tell us why I should believe the claims of the astronomer over the claims of the astrologer.

The moment you try to explain why the belief system of the former should be privileged over the belief system of the latter you have left the realm of what science itself claims it can do.

I have no problem with scientists thinking they have displaced theologians with their better explanations of the natural world; I reject totally that science can in any way replace the inter-generational philosophical project, I reject that the proper place for the philosophical project is the arts, and I reject that the philosophical project has in any way come to an end.

Also, your insults do you an injustice. And didn't anyone ever tell you that pride comes before a fall?
>> "Saying you're going to kill someone on the interwebs is a flippant gesture weighted by anonymity. It means nothing and the barriers to carry out that threat are high(distance, tracking them down etc)."

I'm sure people who have received these threats would disagree that they mean nothing. Regarding barriers there is no way to tell what the barriers are - which is probably what scares people. The person making the threat could be 3,000 miles away or they could live in your street. If the threats are anonymous you have no way to know.

This is the talk you mean right? Have you actually seen the talk? Yes, Lennart interrupts the talk but everything he says is correct, while the presenter just spreads random FUD.

The presenter clearly shows that he doesn’t understand most of the stuff he talks about, talks about 3 year old bugs that already got fixed, etc.

Yes, it’s not the nicest way to interrupt a talk, but the presenter should have expected some kind of reaction, given the controversial headline.

People like Lennart put their heart into their software. If you shit all over it and spread random FUD, you can expect some response. What would you have done?

Also he doesn’t “take over the stage”. He comes up after the talk has ended, because people on IRC asked him to.
Why the oddly complicated procedure...?
I'd rather not be forced to use something because some people decided it's "what system administrators want."

The reason for ABS to exist is that slamming the brakes is a very natural thing for (most of) us to do in a dangerous situation. If you're designing a car for a human to drive, you should keep this in mind.

I wonder if this effect fades out with gaining fluency..
I agree with the sentiment of not having hard deps on systemd. In fact many teams already put some actual work toward that goal (eg. the GNOME team) but the main problem I see is who is mandated to do this work.

As an example, GNOME upstream requires logind if you don't want to rely on the bug-ridden and unmaintained ConsoleKit.

AFAIK the Debian GNOME team does not wish to enable the ConsoleKit backend on Linux due to not having enough resources to test it and nobody stepped up to maintain it. While they initially represented this fact with a dependency on systemd, but ultimately said dependency is now on libpam-systemd, which depends on systemd or systemd-shim.

So it's not like Debian teams are against what the GR proposes, but it's easy to see the GR as a way to force them to do work that they don't have the resources to do.
Yeah, especially if everything what he wrote there was like that bitcoin hitman stuff, which turned out to be just a line like "maybe we should start btc fund?" from IRC written after someone else complained about issue with systemd by guy known from his funny trolling there - and absolutely nothing more than that.

While at first I felt a bit sorry for him when I read that post, after I learned about what exactly was that "hitman threat" I lost any remaining respect to Poettering. That's just grabbing attention and playing victim. He deserves negative response for that.
It's done on frames because that's how renderers work. You build a description of a single image and the renderer renders it. The renderer will generate threads which will all render a 'bucket', which is just a square block of pixels in the image.

It's possible to parallelise this across several processes on different machines, but this is obviously less efficient because you'll have to do all the render startup tasks (reading resource files, building acceleration structures) multiple times.
If a user wants to have privacy owning his own mail and cloud storage system then the only single plug-n-play solution available worldwide now is Starkit.

Alternatively a user will have to use various open source or commercial software packages (i.e. operating system, mail server, anti-spam, anti-virus, cloud storage, archiving, encryption) and try to make them work together. It is obvious that an alternative approach needs highly skilled technicians, lots of time, requires high maintenance (time and money) and the results are uncertain.

Not only this, a custom made solution will still be missing some features found only on Starkit such as the unique ultrafast webmail interface designed for productivity, remote appliance unlocking, unified user management and automatic upgrades.
> […] managers […] should be trained to respect opinions of subordinates.

That's your problem right there: the subordinacy of engineers.

We are biased to listen to high-status people more than low-status people. The strength of this bias varies from people to people, and from culture to culture. But if you are asking someone to listen to the opinion of a direct subordinate, you are asking for trouble.

This is one reason why Michael O. Church is so big on guilds, or "professions". If instead of being a subordinate, the engineer was a (possibly certified) master craftsman, things would be different. Just picture the manager calling the the engineer "master", then not listen to her opinion.

> […] engineers […] should be trained in how to negotiate with management

Conversely, it's harder to negotiate when you have lower status than the manager. You may feel it is not your place. But if you're a master programmer, offering your services to said manager, then you could feel more confident about talking to him as a peer. You could feel more confident about saying things like "your idea won't work —trust me, it's my speciality."
