On Arch, I think you could install a second "backup" copy of Arch Linux on a recovery partition that your motherboard firmware can boot into directly, and then use the `arch-chroot` program to recover your main OS. I'm sure something similar exists for other distros?

Please link to where I said not to use copyleft licenses. Check the usernames carefully.

Note that I don't agree that GPL and MIT are equivalent, or that GPL becomes a non-copyleft open source license if not enforceable. IANAL but it might revert to the regular copyright law for wherever you publish software, not an open source license.

From talking to friends workings in imports and manufacturing, they expect what will happen is weeks or months of delay on most shipments as CBP is utterly unequipped to deal with the volume.

The $800 limit was set during the Obama administration, well after internet direct to consumer sales existed.

$800 was set out of desperation. CBP was overwhelmed and underfunded, so the executive increased the de minimis to significantly higher than any other country ti relive their workload. The proper solution would have been for Congress to increase funding to maintain a reasonable de minimis (many countries use around $50-200), but that wasn't happening.

No, the argument for de minimis is that the cost to collect taxes on a $20 parcel is less than the collected tax.

Granted, the US' $800 de minimis, which was created because of a lack of funding to deal with the volume of shipping, was probably a bad decision in retrospect. But removing it entirely is another extreme.

It applies to each parcel, not an entire shipping container. Note that a parcel can contain multiple physical boxes for a single order.

I didn't say you should avoid non-copyleft licenses? Indeed, all of my own OSS projects are non-copyleft.

From the blog post it seems like existing users kept using Redis but new users adopted alternatives instead.

There are good legal reasons to avoid the GPL; there are open legal questions about whether the GPL and its variants are enforceable.

I make an open source, MIT licensed piece of software. I don't accept unsolicited contributions, but I document that people are free to fork the code and provide instructions on how to develop, test and build on your machine.

Am I "fake open source"?

Netscape Navigator was sold to consumers as boxed software at retail. IIRC it was around $60.

Note that tariff categories can be pretty tricky. For example, a board game might be imported as a toy (125%) or as a table or parlor game (20%). Both categories are valid choices, and it simply depends on which the importer specified on the paperwork.

Is your comment pro-SLURM or anti-SLURM?

I took a serious look at SLURM for my problem space and among my conclusions were:

- Hiring people who know Kubernetes is going to be far cheaper

- Kubernetes is gonna be way more compatible with popular o11y tooling

- SLURM's accounting is great if your billing model includes multiple government departments and universities each with their own grants and strict budgets, but is far more complex than needed by the typical tech company

- Writing a custom scheduler that outperforms kube-scheduler is far easier than dealing with SLURM in general

I am encouraged by the recent success of Clair Obscur. Sandfall has demonstrated you don't need hundreds of devs or a 100 million marketing budget to make a great AAA quality game.

Wrong Homebrew. Totally unrelated to this.

The Japanese GPS based limiters were accurate enough to handle that, when Top Gear tested them around 15 years ago.

No, because rich car enthusiasts can afford track time.

Performance mods are surprisingly affordable if you do all the labor yourself.

Could that not be allowed by the GPS based limiter system that Japanese sports cars have used in Japan for decades?

There's a ton of online stores that specialize in specific categories of product- the better question is how to discover those stores instead.

Yeah, like, bulk wet wipes, or some spatulas, or a counter scraper.

Tilt is for your laptop, where you're editing code. Pulumi is for your cloud environments.

Our team switched from Docker Compose (without Kubernetes) to Tilt for a distributed systems development environment. (Think platform engineering work on a system that scales from zero to several hundred thousand instances). Our time to go from code change to testable, running code on our laptops went from about a minute to a couple of seconds, using some Tiltfile recipes to do automatic incremental recompilation on our host laptops as we edit source files, and live-reload the new artifacts into running Kubernetes containers. The reload happens so fast that we configured our environment to compile+deploy+run on save, and the new code is already running by the time you reach for the "run tests" button.

I think if you told our team to go back to Docker Compose they'd revolt on the spot haha

I've had my edits similarly mass reverted with an unkind message.

Yes, the sixth amendment is very clear on this.

Zed is close, keep an eye on it when 1.0 comes out, probably later this year.

It explains it in clear terms:

"""

Zed's language support is built on two main technologies:

    Tree-sitter: This handles syntax highlighting and structure-based features like the outline panel.
    Language Server Protocol (LSP): This provides semantic features such as code completion and diagnostics.

These components work together to provide Zed's language capabilities.

"""

Note this is _not_ how VSC's C++ Intellisense works. The VSC C++ plugin uses proprietary features of MSVC, it doesn't use LSP.

Many words to explain that it doesn't need one, as you can see by clicking that link.

It's much more common to park a truck backed in than a car, in order to load the bed e.g. from a loading ramp or dock. The backup camera is great for lining the bed right up to where you are rolling on the cargo.

You _can_ do it without a camera, but the camera saves a ton of time.
