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 the Airbus documentation able to comment if the

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 Debian. Snap has some downsides for server/infrastructur

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 censoring people, usually opponents of the current Gove

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 technology point of view. The traditional model is that you ta

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 respins go down in the last 10 years. CentOS failed twice

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 entity. Its a new direction for Apple in their laptop a

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" in the first place.

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 to handle these many people. As a result everyon

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.

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 maxed out at 256MB/s and hard disk xfer was 10MB&#x2

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 safe, up and to the right is reverse!

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

Unix has a long tradition of doing a `rm -rf /` before reinstalling a system. I don't agree with the people saying "don't do that". It worked safely before, it should still be safe to do. (yes I know about --no-pr
