So you’re telling me that there was a Mac super computer in '05?

So they tried to open a research center to steal Chinese talent (that has since been closed) and they released the Google Translate app on the Xiaomi store…

That’s not the same as supporting the CCP and the Uyghur genocide.

What are you talking about?

Google doesn’t operate in China, much less do work for the CCP.

“Getting fired felt like a possibility but never a reality,”

They took over an executive’s office and a cafeteria. Not knowing that you’d be fired as a result is a severe lack of judgement.

Protests are important. But you have to understand that there will be consequences for your actions. Embrace that going in.

Saying that you didn’t think they’d actually fire you comes off as childish.

My money is on cousin Greg to take over.

+1

From an order of magnitude perspective, the max is terabytes. No “normal” users are dealing with petabytes. And if you are dealing with petabytes, you’re not using some random poster’s program from reddit.

For a concrete cap, I’d say 256 tebibytes…

The meaning of version numbers can vary across projects.

One common scheme is Semantic Versioning, which divides the version number into three parts: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH*

• MAJOR is incremented when there are backwards incompatible changes.
• MINOR is incremented when new features are added in a backwards compatible way.
• PATCH is incremented for smaller big fixes.
• Each number is reset to zero when a higher level number is incremented.

* It’s a bit more complex than this, but this is the gist.

Maybe.

Linux won because it worked. Hurd was stuck in research and development hell. They never were able to catch up.

However, Linus’s kernel was more elaborate than GNU Hurd, so it was incorporated.

Quite the opposite.

GNU Hurd was a microkernel, using lots of cutting edge research, and necessitating a lot of additional complexity in userspace. This complexity also made it very difficult to get good performance.

Linux, on the other hand, was just a bog standard Unix monolithic kernel. Once they got a libc working on it, most existing Unix userspace, including the GNU userspace, was easy to port.

Linux won because it was simple, not elaborate.

What’s wrong with AC if it’s powered by renewable electricity?

Zsh

No plugin manager. Zsh has a builtin plugin system (autoload) and ships with most things you want (like Git integration).

My config: http://github.com/cbarrick/dotfiles

Exactly.

My take is that the issue isn’t with tmpfiles.d, but rather the decision to use it for creating home directories.

It’s not like the Dem base will switch their votes to Trump.

At this point, now that the nominees are decided, the political game is to attract the swing vote, which is mostly “tough on crime,” anti-imigration, and anti-taxation (as it applies to them directly).

Even though none of these policies are actually good for those in the middle.

Yeah, I know what a hydrogen fuel cell is.

What I’m saying is that the cost to develop hydrogen infrastructure, the complexity of it’s distribution, the risk due to its high volatility, and the uncertainty of a relatively underdeveloped technology all seem to be losing to batteries, which are very mature tech and are already in the supply chain and for which we already have a well developed electricity distribution grid.

I just don’t see what investing in fuel cells will do other than slow the adoption of zero emission vehicles by another decade.

What are the benefits of fuel cells?

Do they outweigh the benefits of batteries?

I’m confused. Why are we talking about Tesla?

Is fuel cell tech actually easier, cheaper, or better than batteries in any way?

I think 20 to 30 thousand deaths is a bit more than a couple…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_28_incident

The February 28 incident (also called the February 28 massacre, the 228 incident, or the 228 massacre) was an anti-government uprising in Taiwan in 1947 that was violently suppressed by the Kuomintang–led nationalist government of the Republic of China (ROC). Directed by provincial governor Chen Yi and president Chiang Kai-shek, thousands of civilians were killed beginning on February 28. The incident is considered to be one of the most important events in Taiwan’s modern history and was a critical impetus for the Taiwan independence movement.

Between 18,000 and 28,000 deaths…
