@ProPublica are the "liberals" still feeling sorry for the wife of the brain worm guy?. Maybe that worm gives him super powers in the bedroom or something for her to be still with him...

They’re only difficult for operating systems if you’ve built a virtual memory system that assumes x86 and makes everything else look like x86 (sadly, this describes Linux and modern NT, though not XNU).

Radix tables are staggeringly bad for virtualisation and a lot of modern workloads, but we’re stuck with them because the designers of the two most popular kernels didn’t build abstractions.

the motherboard in my wife's PC has the absolute worst decoupling on the audio DAC. I can hear everything the CPU does at about 30% the volume of the actual sound, TEMPEST style. it's so bad that I wondered if it had faulty caps, but I looked and there's like one 0603 cap near the I²S DAC IC. awful design.

@thomasfuchs

there's a sizeable cryptoleft community working on tools to support worker movements ... a lot of it is DOA or vaporware at this point though. sad.

You know you've won some serious ground when the other side suddenly starts calling for nuance.

@mjg59 Is that terminology defined in a newer version of the git-merge(1) man page?

@liaizon thank you for the heads-up! This is brilliant, following @index now :)

@stefan can I ask how does one get in to the 👉 @alttexthalloffame ? I am trying my best but this my instance ( #maau) has never featured in any of the other #alttext halls

I want you to spread the word that Tim O'Reilly of O'Reilly Media is forcing his editors to "use" Gen AI as much as possible. The book I wrote for them, Hacker Culture: A to Z, is probably the last non-tech manual they ever published that isn't tainted by Gen AI.

I quit my goddamn fucking professor position at OPIT because I would rather risk my ability to pay my rent than subject my students to Gen AI "e proctoring."

Please check out https://stopgenai.com, I beg of you.

@tomw interesting. Haven't come across this before.

@b0rk amazing how you can overlook things in a long man page. "man page fatigue" sets in after about the 4th screen. Thanks for what you're doing!
