I firmly believe US Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our education, like such as in South Africa and uh, the Iraq, and everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should. Our education over here in the US should help the US, uh, or should help South Africa and help the Iraq, and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future, for our children.
In a certain light, you could argue that Linus doesn't really have any control at all. He doesn't write any code for Linux (hasn't in many years), doesn't do any real planning or commanding or managing. "All" he does is coordinate merges and maintain his own personal git branch. (And he's not alone in that: a lot of people maintain their own Linux branches). He has literally no formal authority at all in Linux development.
It just so happens that, by a very large margin, his own personal git branch is the most popular and trusted in the world. People trust his judgment for what goes in and doesn't go in.
It's not like Linux development is stopped because Linus goes offline (or goes on vacation or whatever). People keep writing code and discussing and testing and whatnot. It's just that without Linus's discerning eye casting judgment on their work, it doesn't enter the mainstream.
Nothing will really get slowed down. Whether something officially gets labelled by Linus as "6.8" or "6.whatever" doesn't really matter in the big picture of Linux development.
It's quite a bit different for electric motors because they don't have the same power band that ICE have. Electric motors deliver maximum torque at 0rpm. With electric vehicles, you really just have to rely on driver skill and automatic traction control. Gearing won't help you.
Ah thanks for that! You can tell how long it's been since I've used Mac OS.
Isn't it Mac OS X 14? I.e., Mac OS 10.14?
It's already happening to some extent (I think still a small extent). I'm reminded of this Ryan Long video making fun of people who follow wars on Twitter. I can say the people who he's making fun of are definitely real: I've met some of them. Their idea of figuring out a war or figuring out which side to support basically comes down to finding pictures of dead babies.
At 1:02 he specifically mentions people using AI for these images, which has definitely been cropping up here and there in Twitter discussions around Israel-Palestine.
The stat command is using statx, which gives you a slightly different struct.
statx is the cool new Linux-only system call for stat-ing.
Not every filesystem will support the new btime field.
(And, as you correctly say, many of those time fields are wrong, anyway)
won’t be useful beyond basic word processing and browsing.
Not even that. For most basic users, web browsing is by far the most resource-intensive thing they'll ever do, and it'll only get moreso. If it weren't for modern web design, most users could honestly probably be okay with 4GB or 8GB of RAM today. For a laugh, I tried using a 512MB Raspberry Pi 1B for all my work for a few days. I could do absolutely everything (mostly developing code and editing office documents) without any problems at all except I couldn't open a single modern web page and was limited to the "retro" web. One web page used up more resources than all of my work combined. I'm guessing it won't be too many years before web design has evolved to the point where basic webpages will require several GB of RAM per tab.
(I agree with your overall point, by the way. Soldering in 8GB of RAM these days is criminal just based on its effects on the environment)
I used to run a TFTP server on my router that held the decryption keys. As soon as a machine got far enough in the boot sequence to get network access, it would pull the decryption keys from the router. That way a thief would have to steal the router along with the computer, and have the router running when booting up the computer. It works wirelessly, too!
Last I checked, Signal still hasn't fixed their giant UX problem, which is that when you first install the app, it announces you to other Signal users on your contact list. This makes it completely unusable for anybody who actually needs, you know, a secure messenger (like a domestic abuse victim).
I mean I use Signal every day and I love it. But it irks me that they're like "Oh we're super secure. Unless you're trying to get help from your abusive husband, in which case, guess what, we just snitched on you to your abusive husband! Good luck with that!"
Has reddit not already been scraped? With all of that information exposed bare on the public Internet for decades, and apparently so valuable, I find it hard to believe that everybody's just been sitting there twiddling their thumbs, saying "boy I sure hope they decide to sell us that data one day so that we don't have to force an intern to scrape it for us".
