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.
TIL. Thanks for the correction.
\1. Many retro games were made for CRT TVs at 480p. Updating the graphics stack modern TVs is valuable, even if nothing else is changed.
\2. All of my old consoles only have analog A/V outputs. And my TV only has one analog A/V input. The mess of adapter cables and swapping is annoying. I want the convenience of playing on a system that I already have plugged in.
\3. I don’t even still have some of the consoles that play my favorite classic games, and getting retro hardware is sometimes difficult. Especially things like N64 controllers with good joysticks.
Studios don’t need to do a full blown remake to solve these problems. But I’m also not going to say the Crash and Spyro remakes weren’t welcome. Nintendo’s Virtual Console emulators toe this line pretty well.
But studios should still put in effort to make these classic games more accessible to modern audiences, and if that means a remake, that’s fine with me.
(I’m mostly thinking about the GameCube/PS2 generation and earlier. I don’t see much value in remakes of the Wii/PS3 generation yet.)
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.
Huh. This got me curious.
Yes, I did just type a bare URL. Every mature markdown parser I’ve used turns this into a link, and appropriately handles trailing punctuation.
So I went to the spec, and it’s explicitly called out that this is not an autolink. Autolinks must be explicitly surrounded with angle brackets <>
.
So yeah \shrug.
https://spec.commonmark.org/0.31.2/#autolinks
Edit to be clear: This means that both of our markdown parsers are wrong relative to the commonmark spec. But I’ll argue that if a parser is going to attempt to autolink this, then handling trailing punctuation is better than not.
I intentionally added a period because it was the end of a sentence.
If your Lemmy app messed it up, then that’s a bug in its markdown parser.
With a good style/best-practice guide, C++ can be quite productive of a language to work with.
Those kinds of guides typically define which standard/convention to use and which features not to use (cough exceptions cough).
I highly recommend Google’s C++ style guide: https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html.

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.
This is a good book on how Google treats production environments at their scale.
Cattle, not pets.
Google operates on a trunk model, according to this:
In addition to questions of end-of-life, Existentialism also deals with questions of purpose-of-life. Which can be mind racking even if you’re not afraid of death.
Still not super interesting questions to me though.
I was gonna say this.
Existentialism is kinda boring IMO. But the philosophy of language, knowledge, and ethics are all super interesting.
Queen Latifah (Dana Elaine Owens) got her start as a rapper in the 1980s and began acting in the 1990s.
She is probably most known for her roles in Chicago, Hairspray, Bessie, and the Ice Age series.
These days, she stars on the CBS drama The Equalizer.
Nintendo has shown they have no interest in making real console hardware
Ah yes, the no true Scotsman argument.
Nintendo doesn’t make hardware to compete with Sony and Microsoft, despite having the best selling console hardware all-time, among the current generation, and among several previous generations.
You don’t have to be a graphical powerhouse to compete with PlayStation and Xbox…
The meaning of version numbers can vary across projects.
One common scheme is Semantic Versioning, which divides the version number into three parts:
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
*MAJOR
is incremented when there are backwards incompatible changes.MINOR
is incremented when new features are added in a backwards compatible way.PATCH
is incremented for smaller big fixes.* It’s a bit more complex than this, but this is the gist.
