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.

They can’t even be punished. robots.txt is just a convention, not a regulation. It’s totally not enforceable.

The only legal framework we have is copyright law. Those who oppose this behavior will have to demonstrate copyright violation, and that may be difficult to do since the law hasn’t caught up.

What’s wrong with AC if it’s powered by renewable electricity?

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.

113M shares times $31/share is $3.5B.

That’s wild. No way the company is worth that, much less his share.

With a headline like that, I thought he died…

The thumbnail is of the 9/11 attack with the Wine logo overlayed.

Nearly 3,000 people died in 9/11.

That image is in very poor taste. wtf.

Nate Silver is no longer at 538.

There are different people running the models these days.

Everyone was wrong in 2016.

538 was the least wrong of any model anywhere.

And Nate Silver was ridiculed at the time for giving Trump such a high chance of winning, before the election.

Apple Security Bounty awards may not be paid to you if you are in any U.S. embargoed countries or on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals, the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Person’s List or Entity List, or any other restricted party lists.

Kaspersky can whine all they want. Russia is embargoed. They’re not getting their money.

Kaspersky is a good company doing good work in the cyber security space. Unfortunately, because of the embargo, they may have to turn to the black market to sell future exploits. Or maybe not; I’m not totally sure what kind of ethical standards they have.

Nvidia is in a great spot for the AI bubble.

It drives up prices now, but when the bubble eventually burst, data centers are still going to need accelerators for more viable compute tasks.

Absolutely the most robust business in the bubble.

It’s honestly wild that the core feature of Bartender (hiding icons in the menu bar) isn’t builtin to macOS.

I mean, someone is flying an upside down Betsy Ross flag in my neighborhood (the one with 13 stars in a circle).

And I live in the middle of a city.

When did they remove the briefcase?

I remember it on Windows 98, but not XP.

Was it removed with the DOS/NT transition?

Or is it still around, just hidden?
