You all remember when they got rid of the Santa hat?

Is anybody using this? What do you like about it versus a more typical linux or unix? Is hardware support good enough to run on a relatively recent laptop?

Fuck that's so cool. Imagine being strapped to that thing. Love hearing the astronauts candid experience.

I've taken a forgive them for they know not what they do approach, but I think a power/reputation-grab explanation better fits the facts from my experience.

In other words, let the weeds grow with the wheat, and when it's time for harvest toss out all the weeds? Maybe. But if those weeds are going to make the whole place toxic better get rid of them asap.

Google and others are literally tripping over each other to virtue-signal these days. That said, this has to be a bug.

SJW would rewrite history if they could, doing away with anything that didn't agree completely with whatever they consider moral.

This is far more horrifying to me than the fact that Churchill held beliefs largely in line with his generation and upbringing.

>have to install a pre-corrupted database.

So basically a nothingburger.

These guys seem like they're just trying to get attention and make a name. I'd say if someone has access to install a pre-corrupted file, code execution is already a given.

>it's to prevent your process sitting idle while it waits for I/O.

...with the goal of making your application faster.

You must be really new to Linux. I mean, wow.

You literally have to install a special tool to configure the look and feel. Did you miss the whole thing about how gnome devs don't want user themes to be supported? Or how they are forcing csd and dropping menus and config left and right? I'm guessing you weren't a gnome 2 user because it's night and day.

There are parallels with the Gnome team's stance that "we know what's best for you", and that turns off a lot of linux users. There is a tension between those who wish to turn linux into Mac OS or Windows, and those who want fine-grained control over the workings of their computer. The arrogance of the gnome team and the snap apologists is a huge red flag to me. I don't use Ubuntu or Gnome, and I'm glad linux provides me that choice.

Suckless is all about hacking your own tools. Totally unsurprising that "hacker" "news" doesn't get it.

I've been doing this for 10 years, but as a 10x ninja I clearly have racked up 100 man-years of shitting out c.

Jokes aside, i wish I worked with guys who have so much experience. I'm sure it would be humbling.

Given Google's penchant for abruptly canceling platforms, I hope that implementors and vendors will be careful with this.

I'm not as familiar with Oracle, but surely it is providing significant benefits or large organizations would be dumping it and running to more reliable alternatives. These time estimates are also not very pertinent to the actual running of a large database. Nor do they speak to the various technical problems one has when running a big db that is mission critical.

Lots of the classic hn "how can they be so stupid?" comments. Give the cto's more credit. Just because you write JavaScript and used mongodb once does not make you an expert on Oracle or running a very large business.

Utterly banal gibberish that might have excited the imaginations of money-hungry Stanford grads 15 years ago, but this type of fluff has not aged well.

>he hasn't heard of virtualenv -p

pip and virtualenv have the benefit of being stable and de-facto standards, due to their longevity. That matters.

Virtualenv is hardly a hack. It just sets env vars.

This post is a snapshot of one webdev's toolbox. It certainly is indicative of webdev's predilection for increasingly complex and opaque tooling, mixed-markup formats, and over-engineering (if it can even be called engineering).

You don't really need any of that stuff. That whole tooling ecosystem undergoes a rewrite every couple years, anyways, so I predict this post will not age well.

Just stick to setup.py, pip, and virtualenv. It's sufficient into all thy needs.

Asyncio detractors have been drowned in a stream of assurances that, really, it's not that bad.

Obviously it is, or this wouldn't be post #800 that promises to finally make asyncio clear to newcomers.

Twisted sucks. It was a joke. Now it's been tacitly blessed to the point you can sprinkle the `async` keyword all over the place. Good luck. I hope you don't forget about any spots.

I truly think part of the reason Guido left is because he couldn't defend this shit.

You're doing very, very valuable work. Thanks fam, keep those vendors honest, and help us make informed decisions.

I have a ryzen 3900x and it's unreal. Compiles instantly.

All these subtleties and gotchas signify, to me, a shit implementation and a fragmented interface. The exact opposite of the Zen of python.

Exactly. If anything, it's the insane cancel culture that pushed me to the right.

Looks like a great release, thank you.

OpenBSD is one of the last really good choices for an operating system, in my opinion. Redhat, the pretentious gnome developers, canonicals latest folly, proliferation of systemd cancer (homed being the latest abomination)... All these things take away from the user's freedom.

I hope OpenBSD continues for decades to come.

Won't alter the price very much, as the institutional boys following this would have assumed it would happen.

The market is very decidedly not the economy. Everything indicates disaster for the gdp, which is a measure of economy. But the market is sitting about where it was 1 year ago. People expect that America is going to pull through. Sentiment may change but right now its pretty bullish. Lots of retail investors driven by FoMo, of course, and people who rushed in to buy the dip. Google trends is illustrative of the point.

But I think the corporate debt, unemployment, a possible trade war, supply shortages, and eventual bankruptcies are going to send it back down at some point.

Thanks for clarifying

Just edit it bro...

Many in finance think we're headed for deflation. If that's the case, dumping equities for cash is a sensible move. He may be expecting chaos in the banking sector as bankruptcies roll in, and these mortgage fund fraud allegations gain traction.

It's going to be a wild decade. Watch the government use this to vastly expand surveillance powers, too. Not going to be good for the average American.
