Why do all the proposed avenues of future investigation, and all of the current comments on this thread, focus on voodoo instead of the far more likely explanation that the display…

Usually but not always. You may get SIGILL if your machine has error detection and correction and your program is executing from a bad page.

A good way to think about Wayland is the screen manager brought to you by the people who thought xrandr, Mesa, Cairo, the Linux FireWire stack, and freetype were good things. If yo…

Part of search quality is serving nothing when there are no results. Putting a bunch of irrelevant Pinterest pages in the results, just because there are no good results, isn’t goo…

It has literally nothing to do with K8s. An equally suitable title would have been "Debugging network stalls on the Intel Xeon processor" or "Debugging network stalls on planet Ear…

Yes and nobody lives there. Are you always this obtuse? Ford is not selling 1.5 million trucks per year to the residents of Inyo county.

This does not really have anything to do with either kubernetes or networks. If your computer is busy, it won't be able to process packets. Accessing certain kernel stats via proc,…

Unless you are suggesting that the typical American pickup truck trip is across Lake Michigan and back your comparisons of scale are irrelevant.

Ohio has the same population density as Spain. American exceptionalism is just American ignorance of geography.

Can we talk about the ethics of just reposting, verbatim, a paper written by others, but with an advertisement inserted between every paragraph? How did that become OK?

I wonder how this sounds to people who live in, say, Switzerland, where it is very mountainous, snows frequently, and literally nobody drives a truck, and even the cars are not AWD…

Nextdoor is bad because your neighbors are bad people, and it only takes a few to wreck it. Somewhere on your block lives a life-long racist, a chemtrail crackpot, and an insuffera…

Wait. Does the average American shower more than once daily? Is water consumption/heating for showering even a measurable component of GHG emissions?

How do various mail clients talk to their respective backends? I.e. what does iOS Mail use to talk to iCloud? The GMail iOS app speaks a bespoke binary protocol to Google's servers…

This does not really apply to individual Americans . The American carbon footprint boils down to driving and meat. Individual decisions made by super-consumers can be impactful.

The ability of local agencies to just post to your feed has been a feature of Nextdoor for years. They can also close their posts to discussion, which is pretty irritating.

I thought the problem with CSP was excessive concentration, e.g. when tonopah plant blasted a hole in the side of their tower.

Yeah I thought it was about smashing facecrabs with a crowbar.

Yeah the title should be "unionfs: a kernel feature having nothing whatever to do with containers, and some ways to use it" but I guess that's too long :-) . Problem is there is no…

The guy has been in office for 10 months. The projected 2019 GDP growth is less than actual 2018 growth. Latest available unemployment rate was the same as the rate from the year p…

Why doesn't the huge, expensive, sophisticated, and quite useless US Navy interdict these mystery ships? You only need the permission of a ship's registered country to interdict it…

They are not very competitive for the price. They are about 50% slower than same-priced quad core Core i3 CPUs on Chrome Octane 2 benchmarks, 25% slower on video encoding, etc. AMD…

Is it possible that the sites that outrank yours are preferred by search users?

Wait, what is the basis of ranking that you expect for your site? Is it based on Planck's constant or ???

I hope people realize these are 1st-generation Zen CPUs that are Not Very Fast(tm), not the respectable Zen2 parts you've been reading good things about. AMD's marketing is very co…
