> definition of concurrency quoted from the Python wiki [0] which is imprecise: "Concurrency in programming means that multiple computations happen at the same time." Surprising to…

Free is only Free when it is disconnected.

One thing that stands out to me is the incorrect use of the word "law" when referring to flight modes. Is this just a bad translation? Are any native French speakers familiar with …

LXD is only available via Ubuntu proprietary Snap packages and not native .deb packages. Native as in Ubuntu is a Debian derivative, and .deb packages are the native package for De…

Here it is in real life https://youtu.be/hmkMTKZt9J4 Its interesting to see how much trouble it has making a simple turn. The doubled up tracks seem to be a mobility disadvantage.

Free speech doesn't mean you can say whatever you want. It means you can speak with whom you want. Free speech as codified in Bills of Rights is there to stop the Government from c…

I always liked this early definition of DevOps: "Giving developers operational responsibilities has greatly enhanced the quality of the services, both from a customer and a technol…

"If you can't make it good, at least make it look good." I guess Apple has conceded! https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/bill_gates_382270

Whats missing is an analysis of why CentOS failed. I think Rocky Linux needs to put out a plan how they will make themselves financially viable as we've had 3 high profile RHEL res…

For a counter argument, I don't think M1 is going to disrupt anything. Its a great performer for sure, but its locked to a proprietary and closed ecosystem controlled by a single e…

> don't really understand the problem You can err on the side of caution, or err on the side of risk. Sweden has err'd on the side of risk and it is looking like that was a bad cho…

Apple stood up to the US government's requests to decrypt devices but capitulated to China's request to remove an image of another country's flag. This is scarey.

Whats bothering me? I guess the inability of anyone to have a usable discussion on the lack of strategic planning in initiatives like this... Holy cow I wish I had never "spoken up…

Cop out? Its the truth. Infrastructure can be upgraded but today it isn't. There is no plan to upgrade infra!

The problem people don't want to address is these neighborhoods were not designed to handle this many people. They don't have the power, water, natural gas, sewerage, parking, etc …

The dictionary definition of concurrency contradicts this video. Concurrency is defined as "happening or existing at the same time".

There are bugs, there are design flaws, and there are limitations. Often people are confused how to classify an issue between these categories. This is a 44 year old limitation.

I joined a startup in 2000. All employees starting before me were offered ~50k shares in the company as part of compensation while I was offered ~50k options. I was told options we…

Swap was a great idea, but its time is gone. Swap doesn't make sense anymore, hard drives have not scaled and kept up with the improvements in RAM. In the Pentium 1 era EDO RAM max…

I never heard of Oulu before so I did a bit of research: Avg temperature -14c in Jan to 19c in July. Avg precipitation 19mm April to 65mm August. Avg windspeed UV index +4 in July …

The only image "found" was a thumbnail from a known anti child abuse video (and not pornographic in nature).

I'm scared to think it, but I suspect we'll see battery powered buses and trucks banned from high security (ie airports) and valuable infrastructure (ie bridges, tunnels) over worr…

Consider this scenario: you're shifting up from 1st gear and forget what gear you're in. If you're in 3rd gear its safe to shift up and to the right. If you're in 5th gear its not …

You've somewhat proven how poor this shifter design is because you didn't realize it is for a 5 speed transmission!
