That exposed brick is either going to give him inhalation problems from the dust and grit, or if he added a PVA layer, then the walls will begin to run in a hot summer
I don't get it. Why do people like Starbucks? To me it's bitter and granular. Compared to a Nero which is smooth and sweet.
Yet, many avid coffee drinkers I know love the taste of Starbucks. Is it a genetic thing?
Easy, you mention you want to use BSD and the other IT guys give you that look.
embedded systems have the advantage of all using a single bootloader: Uboot, so the error path is always known and the software knows how to fallback.
With x86_64 systems it's a mixed bag, and maybe the windows and linux bootloader knows what to do, but in most cases it will just signal an error and stop
At the same time, if you know your candidate is going to win and you live in a shitty two-party system, then the only means you have to protest about the policies of the party you primarily support is to give them a no vote when they're guaranteed to win.
Example, everyone knew the Labor party was going to win in the UK election, it was guaranteed after the 14 years of incompetence from the Tories. That being said, Labor really wasn't promising much. The only party that were offering any real change were the Greens.
So what do you, knowing that Labor are going to win but not agreeing with their policies? You let them know by voting for other parties, and then Labor reassesses their policies on the votes they lost.
my emotions in this chain have been so far:
- outrage
- pleasant surprise
- outrage again
- confusion
I think I'll settle on the idea that whatever Biden did, it was at least better than what Trump would've. Then again it's this exact same blind logic that Trump supporters say about Biden.
I think the answers given here don't quite fit the question.
Android and Windows have dedicated recovery partitions sectioned off on the disk that the OS never boots to and does not interact with during normal system operation.
If something goes wrong with the OS, then a signal is sent to the BIOS or other non-OS system to "hey, recover from this partition".
Btrfs, NixOS, Guix, and other immutable (file-)systems, implement this via having a file system hierarchy protected by various permissions and softlinks to create a checkpoint of sorts, which is managed by a dedicated service that runs with the OS during normal system operation.
The drawback of these systems is that if something does go wrong with the OS, it cannot fallback to the BIOS to save it. The OS has to somehow signal to itself that it needs to restore from an earlier checkpoint.
and they've been apologising for it ever sin-
-oh no wait, they haven't.
well then, why are you laughing?!
