Sometimes, it's just not possible nor reasonably doable. As seen above, with proprietary drivers...

That's a good way to screw over poor people who have to commute..

Regardless of whether our nations are corrupt, it makes no sense to consider NK "rational" with all the... executing an official with an anti-aircraft gun because he fell asleep, the cult of personality... Un is volatile. But yeah, the sanctions are useless and just make everything worse. We should've already learned from WW2. Sanctions only helped the Nazi regime succeed.

People who try to defend such harmful behavior may be trying to fight identity politics and radical feminism, but it's very counterproductive towards that. They're just confirming that what feminists say is true.

That doesn't mean that there isn't room for improvement, or that it has to be a certain level of bad to become an actual problem. That guy's behavior was very annoying. Even that sort of spoofing/identity fraud is pretty scummish.. maybe a few times it's not really an issue worthy of law enforcement, but constantly for years and years?

It's 2017. It's about time we had a better, well designed language (ie Rust, but I'm not sure if it's well designed enough, depends on what you want it for, too). There have been many advances in language research since the 70's that could be very useful for the kind of work C is used for. Saying we should stick to C because it's well established is like saying we should stick to assembly if it was well established. Except it's not portable, but close enough.

I think the government is made of tyrannical despots, but this incident seems pretty harmless, unlike what's happening at Flint.

My parents referred to it as such. Meh, most people think it's crap anyway, so of course I'm going to be uncomfortable playing music around other people. Probably not that big of a deal anyway.. How is it "self righteous"?

It'd possibly be better for your son to respect his taste in music, and not dismiss it as crap.

I had listened to black metal for years, and avoid all of it with racist messages yet I even have listened to Burzum (mostly Filosofem), which doesn't itself have any racist messages I am aware of. Not like I listen for the lyrics. But it can be a "danger" since I did read into some of the shit Varg has written.. but the great majority of the music has no racist messages.

I was really into Darkthrone and still think they're okay, and I have nothing against any race or ethnicity.

Just one that I am aware of, and they apologized later, was their comment about "Jewish behavior".

Also, this:

    Den Norrøne Rase må Slakte den andre
    når blåmenn dunker for tungt på vår dør

Being concerned over it sounds like wanting to ban violent videogames, overprotective. Like hardcore Christian parents against their children listening to rock music, but maybe not as much since black metal is basically how those kinds of hardcore Christians see normal rock music.

Mostly just "NSBM". Usually pretty easy to tell, and not the most popular bands.

It's basically like a BIOS on x86? The original is closed source, initializes the VideoCore chip?

If this matured, maybe there would be some interest in porting OpenBSD to RPi with this? Theo didn't like the firmware blob, right?..

I use acme-tiny (with --acme-dir) and set up nginx to point the /.well-known/acme-challenge to a directory acme-tiny can write to. It should be possible to do reverse proxying with nginx for whatever web server hosts the acme challenges..

Computer hardware used to provide higher level abstractions. An example is the Burroughs B5000. Kind of the opposite of RISC?

Do you recommend looking into any specific more complicated theory or guidance into meditation, or do you think it's sufficient to focus on breathing while letting thoughts flow and be?

Though I can't think of anything strongly against Switzerland at the moment, this is another reason for me to despise governments and law... where one can't even aid someone in ending their unnecessary, completely pointless suffering without getting their life ruined? Yet states often reserve the hypocritical "right" to execute the death penalty. A sad read, worth it.

Is it built such that a different event notification thing such as libev, libevent, kqueue could be swapped in without too much effort? Well, it's not even that much code.. looks nice

Honestly, I think build system complexity and breakage, and library/dependency/versioning hell is a much bigger problem than just learning how to use tar. The number of times I've had autoconf configure scripts whine about not being able to find some library when it is installed for whatever reason...

`z' means to use gzip compression when extracting or creating a tarball. `J' means xz, `j' bzip2.

For example, to create an xz-compressed tar file:

tar cJvf archive.tar.xz some_directory/

Generally, you can omit those when uncompressing, at least with GNU tar.

OpenBSD's tar is less friendly - it doesn't seem to try to autodetect the compression format. Last time I checked, it didn't support xz either. One had to install the package and then do something such as tar cf - directory/ | xz > something.txz

where the - means that the tarball is written to standard output. /dev/stdout would work as well.

Would this be sort of like libthread on Plan 9/plan9port? But a bit nicer? Anyway, really cool project.

Though I'm kind of bummed that libthread is as obscure as it is...
