They just wanted to say this:

The decline in RHEL growth contrasted with the acceleration in Linux more broadly is a strong market indicator of the next wave of open source. Public cloud workloads have largely avoided RHEL. Container workloads even more so. Moving at the speed of developers means embracing open source in ways that have led the world’s largest companies, the world’s fastest moving startups, and those who believe that security and velocity are best solved together, to Ubuntu.

I've been using CRDB 2.0 for a toy project for a few weeks now, today I notice 2.1 was available so I started playing with some of their new features, I ran a SQL query with correlated sub-queries and then the server crashed. It's the first time I see a crash, so I rushed to the GitHub report to report the bug and to my surprise a GitHub issue was already created for the crash[0], it included the stack trace and an anonymized version of my SQL query that caused the crash.

This really demonstrates they really care about the stability of their product, one more reason to keep recommending CockroachDB.

OP, this is the comment you should be paying attention to. The (now downvoted to oblivion) counterpart to this comment sounds a lot like the top comment on Dropbox “Show HN” of it’s time: a totally engineered reasoning with zero core product value thinking [0]. Instead you should go deep, as in digging a hole or “Well”[1].

Interesting, in my mind the memory usage of M threads is too expensive when you’re mostly waiting for network or file system events, the advantage I remember from green threads is that the thread can be used to execute another CPU bound task while waiting for network events which intrinsically makes it more memory efficient. I’m interested in how Linux has evolved to reduce memory consumption when you have millions of threads, because you can have millions of green threads.

How has AMD managed to come up with more processor and speed count the Intel? Why now?

I can relate to this, two weeks ago I started streaming from my Xbox and I've been enjoying 1-2 viewers at the time, sometimes 4 when I post the link to Facebook. To me 1-2 viewers is a lot, of course I play a game no one is playing: Battlefield Hardline.

The twitch channel for Battlefield Hardline has 3 streamers tops on weekends and I happen to be one of them. I bet I'd be getting zero viewers if I was playing Fortnite.

Who was mentioned in the release changelog? The person who committed that. Then I stopped spending my precious time on such things like giving someone the credits for my work. I love programming, I work on my own projects instead.

That was handled very poorly by the open-source project, I think all projects need something like kentcdodds's all-contributors[0] guidelines which does require additional tooling and there is definitely additional code reviewing care in order to merge Pull Requests but it makes all contributors feel good when they look back at the effort of all contributions. I experienced this first hand when I contributed to one of the open source modules of the guy, the repo tooling didn't let me submit the code and I said to myself "well this is stupid, I just need the code to be merged ASAP", after a few minutes at first I figured it out and the PR got accepted. Now I can actually go back and say "hey look at my face in the Readme of the repo, that's me, yay!" which sounds stupid but I assure you I won't hesitate to contribute again.

this instruqt thingy is pretty cool, it's actually addictive. I started with the Connect course and I'm not going for Istio:

Please wait while we setup a Kubernetes cluster with Istio preinstalled. In the meantime, browse through these notes to learn more about the sample application.

This is going to sound like an stupid question but it could be just lack of marketting or lack of documentation but I'm reading through the website and it only mentions supports for Win32, Win16, DOS and DOS32, is this correct? I'm curious to know how is that going to work for VirtualBox given that I use it on my Mac. Is the ticket suggesting they switch from VisualC++ compiler to DMC?
