Some notes: I'd generally try to disregard the fear that your docs won't be used. At worst, they'll allow people to determine the original design intent and reconstruct how and why the project diverged at some point after you

I think this argument is a bit unfair. As much as I would love for our armed forces and the concept of armed forces as a whole to be unnecessary, the reality is that there is no realistic way for nation states to coexists without some type

That's actually a fairly interesting case. I haven't read into it too much but it seems that they agree that it isn't necessarily a copyright violation based on who does it. It looks like what they got Peak on was instead the

As someone involved with the industry, this is my take. The work defence contractors do and will continue to do is a measurable positive in the world. This work generally falls into three categories: First is projects that make the lives of

Not really on topic but this brings up a pain point that I wish more distros addressed. Sane defaults are obviously important and over time what classifies as the "ideal" default config changes. Most package managers seem to apply

My biggest issues personally are the lock-in of systemd overall and for journald the binary file format. If I could use journald on its own with OpenRC first and foremost and preferably have it store logs as text be it json or whatever then

Absolutely I agree. K and APL like languages have an excellent philosophy. I've found that you can carry this philosophy over to a lot of other languages as long as they have some respectable level of composability. Going on a bit of a

"Let's not do it because it has potential for abuse" is the exact reason a government shouldn't do most things. If they implemented an anonymous and/or privacy protecting system, then sure this wouldn't be a pr

Part of it is that it is a more or less monolithic package that started as an init system and now does more than some people would like. This results in certain packages switching to require systemd modules(gnome & udev) and essentially

The initial setup in Gentoo is definitely the hardest part but once stuff works, it seems to work until the end of time. With the kernel, manual configuration more or less is the following: 1. emerge sys-kernel/gentoo-sources 2. Config

If you are relying on scholarships to afford university, this is not an option. If you break full time status you essentially forfeit all of your scholarships and it is very unlikely you will get them back.

As someone who has made an effort to build a connection with my landlords, being a landlord is not in any way an easy job. Good landlords spend an immense amount of time on maintaining their properties and making sure that their renters ha

I have to say, despite running Gentoo for more years than I can remember, the only time I've ever had anything break on me was when I was first starting out. I had a mask conflict causing issues during emerge/package update and it

LLVM has a pretty decent walk-through/tutorial for building an LLVM language frontend. I know it's in the article but this is definitely my go to for helping people learn about using LLVM. https://llvm.org/docs&#x2

Really? Not trying to be derisive, just surprised. One of the common paradigms in C is GOTO for cleanup and error handling. I know it can be avoided if you really try however when used correctly, it can greatly improve the readability of co

I think using the shorten version is perfectly valid only provided the context is correct. If you are talking to someone about cryptocurrency, referring to it as crypto later in the conversation in context is perfectly valid and doesn'

That's a fair point. I wasn't aware that any state had placed those kinds of restrictions but I suppose it is reasonable when in a densely populated area. I could however see this kind of restriction getting unreasonable and unenf

Something to note is that depending on where you live, people can still go outside. They just need to stay away from people. If you live in a suburban or rural environment odds are there are at least walking paths nearby. Go on a walk, run,

I went into this article fully expecting to disagree but I think it makes a valid point. Plain Markdown definitely has issues that cause me to gripe to no end. These however are mostly resolved via extensions. The author argues that Markdow

For me the issue basically boils down to getting hung up on a certain way of doing something or implementing some feature/subsystem. An example is reinventing the wheel in a (what is in hind sight) pretty janky way of handling dependen
