Maybe.

Linux won because it worked. Hurd was stuck in research and development hell. They never were able to catch up.

However, Linus’s kernel was more elaborate than GNU Hurd, so it was incorporated.

Quite the opposite.

GNU Hurd was a microkernel, using lots of cutting edge research, and necessitating a lot of additional complexity in userspace. This complexity also made it very difficult to get good performance.

Linux, on the other hand, was just a bog standard Unix monolithic kernel. Once they got a libc working on it, most existing Unix userspace, including the GNU userspace, was easy to port.

Linux won because it was simple, not elaborate.

Motorola has been in the tracker game since way before Air Tags.

I remember getting a Bluetooth tracker with my Moto X circa 2014. Back when Tile dominated the market.

Zsh

No plugin manager. Zsh has a builtin plugin system (autoload) and ships with most things you want (like Git integration).

My config: http://github.com/cbarrick/dotfiles

Exactly.

My take is that the issue isn’t with tmpfiles.d, but rather the decision to use it for creating home directories.

RIP Fuchsia

The article says all phones Android 9 and up are in on the network.

But I was under the impression that enrollment in the network was still rolling out? Anyone have details on the current state?

To me, this just sounds like the network isn’t rolled out fully yet (or that NYC residents don’t use Android, which seems suspect) rather than a failing of the device itself.

Mostly I use custom launchers because I don’t like the Google News feed

What’s wild to me is that back in the Google Now era, I was so excited to root so that I could install the extension for Nova to add Google Now.

But these days, the Google “Discovery” feed is trash compared to what Google Now once was.

Sweatshirts are double-layered pullovers, typically non-woven. Sweaters are single-layer pullovers, typically knit. Jackets have buttons or zippers. Hoodies have hoods and are made of fabric (e.g. raincoats are not hoodies).

You can have hoodies that are also sweatshirts, or hoodies that are also jackets.

This garment pictured in your post is a jacket. It is also a hoodie. It is neither a sweatshirt nor a sweater.

This is just my interpretation of the situation. I don’t know of any formal classification system for outerwear.

What zombie work, across all mediums, does it best?

Some punctuation and the proper superlative makes OP’s title a bit more readable.

If caching is properly configured, the cache (Cloudflare) will see thousands of requests, but the VPS should only see one request.

Just put the site behind a cache, like Cloudflare, and set your cache control headers properly?

They mention that they are already using Cloudflare. I’m confused about what is actually causing the load. They don’t mention any technical details, but it does kinda sound like their cache control headers are not set properly. I’m too lazy to check for myself though…

Fair. That was overgeneralizing German bureaucracy to the entire EU.

But I think the point that tech companies in Europe rarely survive still stands.

The EU is terrible at maintaining good tech companies.

Like, they have some really important and innovative consumer protection regulations, but they are really shooting themselves in the foot with this one…

I assume it will still be possible to enable the APIs with adb.

So this will mostly affect users in that in-between skill level where they know how to use a third-party app store (or how to download and install apps from a file browser) but don’t know how to use adb. I’m not so sure how big that segment is. Probably pretty small.

For the group of users who are tech-illiterate (the common case), this is actually a very welcome change for malware prevention.

Yeah, but I want both GPU compute and Wayland for my desktop.

Long term, I expect Vulkan to be the replacement to CUDA. ROCm isn’t going anywhere…

We just need fundamental Vulkan libraries to be developed that can replace the CUDA equivalents.

• cuFFT -> vkFFT (this definitely exists)
• cuBLAS -> vkBLAS (is anyone working on this?)
• cuDNN -> vkDNN (this definitely doesn’t exist)

At that point, adding Vulkan support to XLA (Jax and TensorFlow) or ATen (PyTorch) wouldn’t be that difficult.

Unfortunately, those of us doing scientific compute don’t have a real alternative.

ROCm just isn’t as widely supported as CUDA, and neither is Vulkan for GPGPU use cases.

AMD dropped the ball on GPGPU, and Nvidia is eating their lunch. Linux desktop users be damned.
