ADSSDA

I think I've only really seen this as a Honda Element

What Honda element had 4wd? As far as I'm aware they were all (a pretty bad) AWD system.

As pretty much anyone who offroads knows, AWD vehicles absolutely tear up the trails vs a proper 4wd with lockers, since AWD relies on detecting tirespin (ie, destroying trail) to determine when it needs to activate.

Yes, DPDK (which VPP is built on) heavily utilizes IOMMU to provide host protection.

https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/linux_gsg/linux_drivers.html discusses it a bit.

Odd take, golang was designed by Google for their needs. It has very little uptake amongst hobbyist devs and is nearly entirely used by professional devs. In my experience hobbyist devs focus primarily on javascript/python.

I've used both extensively and I find eBPF+iptables (and sometimes nft) significantly more flexible and easier to use in the real world (not just simple examples) than PF. shrug

IMO Linux is significantly better than the *BSDs at this particular use case.

As someone who spends a lot of time working with DPDK, the idea that anyone would consider userspace "slow" and kernel of all things "fast" is amusing to me.

Most everyone nowadays seems to try to avoid kernel as much as possible, since it's vastly slower than a userspace forwarding plane (although eBPF/XDP will likely change this).

Agree to disagree.

Maybe because I've worked in embedded Linux for so long (including on inits of various forms), but that description clearly articulates exactly what systemd is and does and I appreciate the direct, crystal clear technical language rather than some long form essay written assuming a clueless reader with 0 technical background.

I get the feeling you are getting your information from highly political sources rather than getting out from behind the screen and talking to real live people.

Where I live, there is no vaccine mandate for hospital staff due to staffing concerns. Talking with actual local physicians, nurses and doctors are quitting in droves after seeing a huge amount of preventable death in the past few months, by patients who deny the reality of the disease they have, and whos families harass hospital staff about treatments that don't work (hcq/ivermectin/whatever the latest magic pill is now).

I actually am against vaccine mandates and don't think anyone who doesn't want the vaccine should be forced to take it. That said, if you don't take it, I don't want you in the hospital if you end up getting covid. Take hcq/ivermectin/whatever joe rogan is saying now rather than occupy a hospital bed, don't clog up the hospital due to your mistake.

Now you are falling victim to a very common cognitive bias known as the "base rate fallacy". Please read the following:

EDIT:

In the case of my numbers, I'm based in the US. I wish we had a high enough vaccination rate to worry about the base rate fallacy. I'm surrounded by rural areas who unfortunately don't believe in vaccines until they show up in the ER. We have an enormous surgical backlog due to antivaxxers having filled up the hospitals for months on end.

I don't have to trust public health agencies. I can go look up the numbers in my local hospital or ask family members who work there. >90% of ICU cases and deaths are unvaccinated. Hand wavy arguments about "the data is bad!" from a non-peer reviewed paper with 0 citations does not convince me that you're arguing in good faith.

Failed as in the vaccines, that were being advertised as being 95% effective with no talk of any boosters only 6 months ago, no longer provide any protection at all.

It's disappointing to see complete lies like this on HN. Vaccines have been, and remain, incredibly effective in preventing hospitalization/death, even without a booster (although everyone should also get their booster).

What other data points? Can you provide peer reviewed high quality data to support your claims? Just because you want a conspiracy theory to be true does not make it so.

VAERS is a great thing, but it's deeply unfortunate that antivax conspiracy theorists have used it to spread lies like yours.

If you had two uncles who died of alcohol related causes, they were drinking a lot more than 2 drinks a day.

The site you posted only goes to Aug 27th, which is hopelessly outdated for a rapidly deteriorating situation. The actual information from the Idaho Division of Public Health indicates 10 ICU beds staffed and available across the entire state as of yesterday. This is after activating the national guard to assist. If that's not a crisis, I don't know what is.

You seem caught up in a narrative that this is not real, I urge you to consider the facts on the ground rather than fit things to your political views.

You should use the actual state's dashboard:

https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/idaho.division.of.pub...

And Idaho is absolutely overwhelmed. In past flu seasons they have not moved to crisis standards of care, I don't even see Idaho in the article you linked so I'm not sure what relevance it has here. Are you claiming the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare is unaware of their own ICU utilization status?

Idaho has already implemented crisis standards of care:

https://healthandwelfare.idaho.gov/news/idaho-activates-cris...

And is absolutely overwhelmed. It seems incredibly disingenuous to only consider some random state that's doing well and ignore those doing poorly.

I'm a big fan of nftables, but anyone using iptables with a large ruleset is (or should be) using ipset, which is just as fast.

Isn't most PM 2.5 pollution produced by brake pad and tire wear, which is made worse by EVs due to their weight?

I went through all of high school and college with an HP48 calculator. I can't express how much more natural RPN felt than the more traditional alternative (and fast!).

It also made for very confused expressions whenever anyone borrowed my calculator...

Whatever they're doing it's not working. Nearly every "Amazon's Choice" that I see in search results is some counterfeit Chinese garbage.

You'd have to be insane to buy anything you'd put in your body from Amazon. Just this week I received an obviously used item that was "Shipped and sold by amazon.com" and sold as "new".

I realize they're trying, but Amazon is clearly failing to control the tide of fakes that is infesting their storefront. I find that for almost anything I search for, the knockoff/fake is actually the Amazon "recommended" item.

What's the actual queuing algorithm in use? My experience with BSD QoS has been that it's easy to set up, but far inferior to the more modern QoS options in Linux (fq_codel, etc).

I just wish tc had an interface understandable by your average sysadmin. I have to dig into the source to figure out what anything does, but not many users will have the ability/desire to do that.

I'm hoping this is some sort of late april fools post? This cheat sheet is stuff no python programmer would need to look up, and even then, manages to get a few things wrong.

The ground as a point of reference isn't really relevant, it's your previous position that matters (new position relative to your old position). Acceleration requires a change in trajectory, and no matter what the treadmill is doing, if you are not changing your trajectory you are not experiencing acceleration (ignoring the effects of gravity).

Is your head accelerating while you're on the treadmill? I've never seen a treadmill where that happens, the whole idea of a treadmill is running in-place.

The most common VR treadmill-ish device I'm aware of is the Virtuix Omni: http://www.virtuix.com/, where your head is clearly not accelerating.

What are you picturing when you claim your head (and hence inner ear) is accelerating on a treadmill?

I don't think you understand the arguments people are making.

Your inner ear does not experience any acceleration in your example, which is what is required to avoid sickness. What's happening relative to the surface of the treadmill doesn't matter, the acceleration of your inner ear does, and that's not changing.
