It has been a known bug class for quite some time.

Jurors?

I'm saying that words have meanings and that it's important to be clear about what they are.

that a majority voted for

A majority of people who voted. Not a majority of eligible voters and certainly not a majority.

I was a happy perl user for a long time, probably until sometime in the early 2010s. I am a sysadmin and perl was a great tool for what I needed to do.

Jim Weirich was a heavy perl user for a long time, and we were both involved in the Cincinnati perl mongers group. He found ruby and fell in love. He thought Ruby would be a good fit for me and we had a long conversation about why he preferred it to perl. It took me a few years, but I eventually took his advice. As usual, Jim was right, and I haven't written any perl since then.

tl;dr: for me, ruby killed perl.

No Effect from Legalization: The rate of drivers who tested positive for THC did not change significantly before or after legalization (42.1% vs. 45.2%), indicating that legal status did not influence the behavior of those who chose to drive after use.

Ohio recently passed a marijuana decriminalization bill.

Did you get the data in the db from telcodata.us?

Ask me how I know.

What problems did you have that made you want to roll back the update?

The default configuration for tmpfs is to "only" use 50% of physical ram, which still isn't great, but it's something.

My experience as a long time Linux user (since 1997, so admittedly stuck with some bad habits from when things were actually hard to get working) has been that things are kind of confusing if you deviate from the golden path, but if you are on the golden path you won't ever notice that it is turned on.

The laptops I have gotten from eg Dell with Linux pre installed have just worked. Machines I have upgraded through many versions of Ubuntu (lts versions of 16-24) were weirdly broken for a while when I first turned secure boot on while I figured it out, but that seemed reasonable for such a pathological case. Machines I have installed Debian on in the last few years have been fine, except for some problems when I was booting from a software raid array, but that is because I was using 2 identical drives and I kept getting them confused in the UEFI boot configuration.

I have not used them on machines with nvidia, vbox, or other out-of kernel-tree modules though.

Wow, I thought for sure they would have retired it by now. I remember having a birthday party there when I was a kid (90 or 91?) and thinking that it was the coolest thing ever. It made up for them not moving the planetarium from their old location when they moved the museum to Union Terminal, which I (at 9) recall making me really sad.

We use them for a few dozen domains. DNS only, though, and they are all set to auto-renew.

I basically only have to interact with them when we need to make DNS changes. The web UI seems fine, especially in the advanced view, but our biggest zones are managed through opentofu, so I can see how changing a large zone would be frustrating.

Sometimes you can be having a great day and bam, some small reminder of something you lost can send you in to tears.

Grief isn't linear.

Why'd you leave the most notable one out of your list?

Is this not the same as the halting problem (genuinely asking)?

Back in ~2002 this was the case with cron. Found out the hard way when all the backup tapes we desperately needed were completely empty.

Does this kind of thing affect Hetzner IPs in their US datacenters?

The trailing comma thing gets me nearly every time I edit a json config file.

I don't think json supports comments, which makes it a non-starter for a lot of folks.

I think the web interface for the gollum wiki (which used to power GitHub wikis, but I think they have diverged) supports org mode files.

It seems like we've entered an era where not only are you paying for software with money, you're also paying for software with your data, privacy implications be damned. I would love to see people picking f/oss instead.

That change makes it no longer free/open source.

Does this work with podman or is it docker only?

but often he had a reason for his abusiveness

There is never, ever, under any circumstances, a reason to be abusive.

The first footnote says If you squint hard enough, you'll find that Firecracker does support dynamic memory management with a technique called ballooning. However, in practice, it's not usable. To reclaim memory, you need to make sure that the guest OS isn't using it, which, for a general-purpose workload, is nearly impossible

Please don't presume to know what would or wouldn't make Aaron Swartz happy.

Starbucks has way more unionized stores now than last year.

The euphemism treadmill is a running joke, from negro, to black, to African American, to Black, to person of color.

You missed a couple at the beginning of your list. A really significant one in particular.

My ubuntu 22.04 LTS (jammy) is running Xorg as root. I have just dist-upgraded since I installed 18.04, so maybe fresh installs don't?

In response the really elite players just go back to bending over to pick up the ball with their hand, signaling that they're too skilled to bother signaling how skilled they are.

Truly elite players have ball boys and girls pick up balls for them.

Your point, though, reminds me of the Sneetches by Dr. Seuss

I recently watched the video where he said it, but I can't remember which one it was. It was one of the ones on the Tested channel, either an ask Adam or one of the questions from a live stream they made in to a video.
