That's not a realistic goal. Even at 20 MPH, a well timed jump from between parked cars could leave someone closer then your reaction time.

They do specifically mention that some fixes may come to RHEL first. I'm sure they'll try not to break binary compatibility, but as it appears to be somewhat experimental and targeted to developers, breaking updates may occur. Is

CentOS will be useless as a replacement for RHEL. Without the guarantee of binary compatibility, any CentOS Stream update may break your locally installed applications. And I only recall CentOS significantly trailing RHEL at the major vers

That's the whole point -- it's continually receiving updates that never break binary compatibility with existing apps/packages. For example, it's a safe target for vendors to target with binary packages, whereas CentOS

rpmbuild will download the sources listed in the spec file, apply the patches, and execute the build instructions to produce RPM and SRPM packages. The SRPM will contain the "as built" source tree. For dracut, the spec file defin

The RPM SPEC file in that repo will have a pointer to the actual upstream sources for the package. This is a typical scenario -- they are not re-hosting all of the sources to build a Linux distro, just the build steps needed to pull, patch

I know someone who ended up hospitalized from accidentally taking two over-the-counter meds that both contained Tylenol. It just doesn't take that much to cause damage.

From what I've seen with older relatives, if you're able to stay mobile, you'll stay mobile longer and have a better quality of life. I don't think it's impossible to have housing and shops together and still have

We don't do it directly, but there are certainly municipal water supplies that are downstream of other town's waste water treatment plants.

Personally I find paper wrapped items from the local deli fine, but I'd be pretty skeptical of any food products shipped only in paper -- too easy to contaminate.

Yeah, I agree that the sound system in the theater is painful (do they think we are all deaf?).

I'm assuming that third parties are a lot more likely to join an external channel on a platform they're already using (and are more likely to be responsive as well). I think all the existing integration are examples of an indirect

The number may be crazy, but Slack does benefit from network effects. For example, my company has many bots/integrations with other systems, years of institutional knowledge, and connections with multiple external vendors. Switching w

It's a lot easier to click a button on the AWS console then to get approval to buy new capital equipment, or to get approval to use a new vendor (for which we'd likely need legal review, security audits, etc.).

Honestly clicking on the article just leads to paywalls or ad laden disasters that just consume my CPU (or complain if I have an ad blocker). HN just works, so it's a lot less work just to read the discussion here.

I've seen the exact same scenario play out with an e-commerce site using MySQL.

As an IC you probably have more time to fully read emails, esp. those from your management chain. I like to lay out the decisions I'm going to make if I don't get feedback, if possible. That seems to prompt feedback when feedback

I'm not sure there's any possible way to achieve a real lockdown in the US when half the population doesn't even believe in the severity of the virus. How would you enforce it? And a strict lockdown would require most people

How is it dysfunction to keep your devs focused on the tasks you've already identified as the most important? I can't imagine how producing a PR for this with test cases, getting it reviewed, then shepherding through a typical QA&

We started down a road with more home cooking through things like Visual Basic. I remember seeing lots of useful things built by non-professionals during the era of VB 6, but it seems like nothing in the web era has filled that void.

Personally I'm usually looking through a bunch of responses trying to find the one I'm interested in, and that workflow sounds pretty awful.

Right now I have 6GB for VMs (for ~12 docker containers) and 8GB for various IDEs and editors. Probably typical for those on my development team. Surprisingly Chrome isn't even the top ten for memory footprint on my laptop. So far 16

They were always going to struggle to get app developers to port to Windows Mobile, so I'm not sure it was ill conceived to provide a single target for desktop and mobile, with the hope that more developers would take the time to suppo

This can be fun if it's a particular client request that causes a hard failure, and the client retries several times before giving up. Before you know it, all your instances are restarting and no traffic is being handled... So fail ea
