What are you going on about?

Do you mean BIOS versus UEFI? That ship sailed over a decade ago. And I don't think anyone actually believes that plain BIOS is superior in any way to UEFI.

Did you try to set up that container to serve HTTPS?

It sounds like you have some service configured to serve HTTPS, and it's having trouble starting because the cert is broken.

Only that particular service will be broken. The rest of the system is fine.

Check systemctl status --failed for more info.

Edit: I'm only talking about the X.509 error. The AMD error is probably related to your hardware.

X.509 certs are commonly used in TLS/HTTPS.

Why is one needed in your boot process?

Is your drive encrypted?

i have yet to encounter a user request to change Fkey to Fn.

It's me. Hi. I prefer Fn over Fkey.

The only software I use that recognizes F-keys is htop, but it also supports other key codes.

On the flip side, I use the volume and brightness controls on my Fn keys all the time.

Dropouts occur [...] all the cores behave more erratically

What does this even mean?

Are you trying to say something about latency versus throughput?

An encrypted hard drive means that someone cannot physically steal your hard drive and read its contents.

Encryption-at-rest is generally moot against RCE exploits, because your OS will happily decode files that your programs have permission to read.

That said, on modern systems, encryption is cheap. So set it up if you can.

Edit: I replied to the original post.

Is this legit?

The link is dead

Microchip fabrication is the most advanced manufacturing process on the planet.

They don't just let anyone do that. It's skilled labor.

"Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement" sounds like a backronym to separate the modern term from its problematic history.

Wikipedia tells a slightly different story.

During the Korean and Vietnam wars, the term "rice burner" was used to refer to Koreans/Vietnamese (as in "machines that run on rice").

Around the same time, the term "rice burner" was also being used as a disparaging term to refer to Japanese-made cars and motorcycles.

Eventually, the term came to be heavily associated with a specific Japanese automotive style. "Ricing" started to mean modding vehicles according to that style. And then the term was brought to the Unix community through forums like this.

And this is where we get the modern usage.

So the term definitely started out as being both derogatory and specifically asian. But today, no one uses it like that. I think the history and context of this term is completely lost on most people.

Now when people use the term, the sentiment is neither derogatory nor specifically asian. So I don't think the common usage here in the Unix community is something to worry about.

I wouldn't say "clear."

Yes, missiles are weapons more associated with military operations than terrorism.

But Hamas doesn't perform "military operations" AFAIK. They don't "advance" on areas or take cities or any other goal I associate with military offensives.

The strategy, from what I can tell, is to launch missiles at civilians in order to terrorize Israel. It's just terrorism with missiles.

(And yeah, while the IDF does appear to have more traditional military operations, it is also clear that terrorizing Palestine is a specific goal. They also deserve the title.)

Are you seriously questioning the designation of Hamas as a terrorist group?

What. The. Fuck. Is. Wrong. With. You?

Israel is occupying Palestine. Netanyahu's government is implementing collective punishment. The IDF have killed 10x as many civilians as Hamas. And Hamas is a terrorist organization.

Python is ergonomic. It's very expressive without the language feeling too magical.

If you are comfortable "programming with types" then Rust is a very ergonomic language. But it does take a while to get your brain thinking in Rust.

It's also useful to have counter examples.

C is not ergonomic. You basically have to reimplement collections for different applications.

Your chances of being victim of a violent crime in Chicago in any given year are about one in a hundred

Pardon my ignorance, but what does that mean?

Like, 1% of Chicagoans are victims of violent crime every year?

Or like, the number of violent crimes per year divided by the population equals 1%?

Or something else?

Some of those are worse than others.

"Your chances of being victim of a violent crime in any given year is 1%" sounds like a fuckton of violent crime is happening in that city. And you're saying it's 2% in other cities!?

last Thursday of November

Ackchyually, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November.

This is different from the last Thursday, because 2 out of every 7 Novembers tends to have a fifth Thursday.

Anti-poaching laws?

IIUC companies in the US can poach all they want. Non-poach agreements are not enforceable, I think.

It would be pretty anticompetitive to allow non-poach agreements, considering that the US uses at-will employment. If a competitor wants to make an offer to your employees, your employees should be free to accept that offer. At-will employment is a two-way street.

Jobs? Probably Go.

But really what's most important is learning portable skills, which amounts to learning about different approaches. In that case, I'd say learn both.

There are a lot of interesting ideas in both languages.

(I learned a lot of great ideas from Go, especially about concurrency. I think it's great for writing the kind of frameworks where that matters. But in terms of "normal" business logic programming, I think it's trash. It not ergonomic at all.)

They added "za" (slang for "pizza"), which is a strategy-breaking change.

It makes the letter "z" soooo much more powerful.

Why?
