I live in the southwest, didn't realize this data was available, so thank you. It would be super interesting to have a (heat) map of it all.

Hey Andrew, I've been an admirer of your work for a long time. Sounds awful, glad you are on the mend.

I think they definitely should not. I've considered sending a patch that adds a WARN() or some syzkaller test for it or something, especially now that I've seen it in other filesys…

Author here (hi Sargun), it's not really about rediscovering killable vs. unkillable waits, and any confusion is probably a result of my poor writing. The crux of it is that once y…

And at least in SBF/Alameda's case, they did, and you can google it. IIUC it was basic arbitrage, the hard part was figuring out how to interface with Japan's banks. Maybe the guy …

Use the freezer cgroup to freeze everything, then kill it all off however you like.

Hi Matt, speaking of PyCon, thanks for your talk on Qtile many years ago. It remains one of the funniest lightning talks I've seen, and also influenced my talk style to some degree…

I have news for you: drivers don't think laws apply to them either. I've nearly been killed several times because of it, and I know people who have been killed. RIP Dan Spira, one …

Fastmail has great calendar (CalDAV), contacts (whatever the open protocol for this is) support in addition to their e-mail. I migrated from Google Calendar & friends several years…

The problem with this argument is that the set of programs that just fork() and then exec() is fairly small. Sure, shells are small and do this, but then the article argues that sh…

In my experience, integration with products is not really that hard. I've used sqlite3 bindings in half a dozen languages over the years, and they are generally fairly robust.

Yeah, I'd just use whatever the output of ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl says. It will also suggest any recent committers to that area of the code, which I've found useful in the past…

I'd say sending the patch with git send-email --in-reply-to= is good. A patch is much easier to apply than write :)

Standard advice is to wait two full weeks, then bump your thread (or rebase the patch and send a v2 if there's new conflicts with the maintainer's tree).

This is pretty cool, though it would be nice if it worked with caldav instead of just google calendar :)

They wouldn't accept my .pizza e-mail address as valid though, so there's still room for improvement :)

Companies/directors can (and do, see e.g. Theranos/Elizabeth Holmes) settle without admitting fault. Presumably the goal is to lower the number of three letter agencies investigati…
