the system will kill whatever it damn well pleases. You can tune it with priorities to ask it to try to not kill that, and once it kills your sshd once, you'll probably configure it to exempt sshd from being OOM killed at all. That doe

That's what's breaking the system and causing freezes. You can tune it a bit to minimize when it happens, but not get rid of the issue entirely.

Don't worry, it's not just you: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/8/4/15 It's because linux is a toy OS. Specifically, it overcommits memory in the hope/assumption that it won't all be

If you're feeling nice, randomize whose time remains stable (to keep things fair), keep the organizer's time stable, or pick the time that minimizes the number of participants who will have the meeting time change. If you're

They mean using the AI to do the import things and the higher structure for them, not removing tedium. It's like using a calculator for math school/home-work designed to teach multiplication, which requires no transcription or put

Why do you think you didn't do similar when you were a student? We've seen this exact issue with other technology before: calculators for math; typewriters and then word processors for writing assignments; audio books for literacy

It's not crazy at all. That's what conglomerates do. GE literally built trains and electricity until 2021 when the train unit got spun off.

so just to confirm, this HN submission [ 1] should have linked to this pdf of the paper [2] and put the article [3] that is the current link for the post as a comment? [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44381297

We built something similar for the managed DB we use, but i think it's a mistake to autogenerate the migration scripts instead of autogenerating the schema from the migration. Things like changing an enum, adding a nonnull column that

There's actually a legal reason for tacking on anyone who is plausibly liable. The basic idea is to sue everyone in a single case and let the court sort out actual liability for each party as part of that single case. Say the lawsuit i
