Loss of an absolute legend. One of my favorite videos (and songs) sang by Bobby: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9w3yoIOK-9U (Eat Your Vegetables) RIP. You will be missed Bobby.

I'm often stuck at my desk for long hours, which made it difficult to maintain a healthy weight. I started using Manjaro a few months ago, and it's had a significant impact. It helped control my appetite and reduced the constant c

They want email addresses used. How does that work for people who use Mozilla Relay or Apple's HideMyEmail? You can easily accumulate hundreds of unique email addresses this way. Do they really expect you to input 500+ email addresses?

It's easier than that. You don't need two NICs to get a carrier, just use a fiber coupler. They are super cheap (< $30)

Just to be clear -- It's an aspirational research project, much like (Galen's) Azure Sphere from 8 or so years ago. This is NOT Microsoft's official stance. Galen is a super smart guy, but he's not a decision maker. I ha

Most people I know who take on side projects do them because they enjoy solving problems. They find them enjoyable, and to many, side projects are like taking a vacation. I wouldn't pay someone to take a vacation for me, that's no

Open source maintainers just ignore this kind of stuff until they actually have something to contribute. The biggest issue are AI generated PR slop that takes time to process. Not this kind of "I'd like to make a PR in the future&

Thank you so much Brian, I'm so glad I got to read it again. Great slides, great content. You are an expert at your craft. I'll definitely share this with my teams!

It really is a tragedy. I can't find it anywhere and I really wanted to reference it for future meetings. @spagoop can you reupload it?

I've searched everywhere and it seems gone forever. It was a hell of a slide deck and I wish I had downloaded it before it got taken down. I'd potentially pay money to see it again.

Unfortunately that won't work. Most companies now have an arbitration clause meaning that you can't take them to small claims court. Had a similar situation happen with another company. Went to take them to small claims but the ju

We've seen this with Python's CoC and Tim Peters as well. This timeline sucks.

What he said wasn't even nearly as bad as what I've seen Linus say in other threads over the years. Is / was Linus Torvalds ever subject to a "tribunal" like Kent just was? In the end, it's the users that end u

Perhaps, but still an informative article. Historically, Rob Norris and Klara Systems have contribute a good deal of features and needed bug fixes into OpenZFS.
