Sometimes, it's just not possible nor reasonably doable. As seen above, with proprietary drivers...

That's a good way to screw over poor people who have to commute..

Regardless of whether our nations are corrupt, it makes no sense to consider NK "rational" with all the... executing an official with an anti-aircraft gun because he fell asleep, t…

People who try to defend such harmful behavior may be trying to fight identity politics and radical feminism, but it's very counterproductive towards that. They're just confirming …

That doesn't mean that there isn't room for improvement, or that it has to be a certain level of bad to become an actual problem. That guy's behavior was very annoying. Even that s…

It's 2017. It's about time we had a better, well designed language (ie Rust, but I'm not sure if it's well designed enough, depends on what you want it for, too). There have been m…

I think the government is made of tyrannical despots, but this incident seems pretty harmless, unlike what's happening at Flint.

My parents referred to it as such. Meh, most people think it's crap anyway, so of course I'm going to be uncomfortable playing music around other people. Probably not that big of a…

It'd possibly be better for your son to respect his taste in music, and not dismiss it as crap.

I had listened to black metal for years, and avoid all of it with racist messages yet I even have listened to Burzum (mostly Filosofem), which doesn't itself have any racist messag…

Mostly just "NSBM". Usually pretty easy to tell, and not the most popular bands.

It's basically like a BIOS on x86? The original is closed source, initializes the VideoCore chip?

If this matured, maybe there would be some interest in porting OpenBSD to RPi with this? Theo didn't like the firmware blob, right?..

I use acme-tiny (with --acme-dir) and set up nginx to point the /.well-known/acme-challenge to a directory acme-tiny can write to. It should be possible to do reverse proxying with…

Computer hardware used to provide higher level abstractions. An example is the Burroughs B5000. Kind of the opposite of RISC?

Do you recommend looking into any specific more complicated theory or guidance into meditation, or do you think it's sufficient to focus on breathing while letting thoughts flow an…

Though I can't think of anything strongly against Switzerland at the moment, this is another reason for me to despise governments and law... where one can't even aid someone in end…

Is it built such that a different event notification thing such as libev, libevent, kqueue could be swapped in without too much effort? Well, it's not even that much code.. looks n…

Honestly, I think build system complexity and breakage, and library/dependency/versioning hell is a much bigger problem than just learning how to use tar. The number of times I've …

`z' means to use gzip compression when extracting or creating a tarball. `J' means xz, `j' bzip2. For example, to create an xz-compressed tar file: tar cJvf archive.tar.xz some_dir…

Would this be sort of like libthread on Plan 9/plan9port? But a bit nicer? Anyway, really cool project. Though I'm kind of bummed that libthread is as obscure as it is...
