Going by what OP thinks “Chaotic Evil” means for sysadmins, they have clearly never heard of BOFH.
Writing good comments is an art form, and beginner programmers often struggle with it. They know comments mostly from their text books, where the comments explain what is happening to someone who doesn’t yet know programming, and nobody has told them yet that that is not at all a useful commenting style outside of education. So that’s how they use them. It usually ends up making the code harder to read, not easier.
Later on, programmers will need to learn a few rules about comments, like:
The KDE team has already determined that this is not a bug and that both you and me must just be imagining it:
Floating Point Unit. The thing that does mathematical operations on floating point numbers. It used come separately from the CPU as an add-on chip, but around the 486 era, manufacturers started integrating it on the same die as the CPU. Of course, as these things go, from the system programmers point of view, there is still no difference between an add-on FPU and an integrated one.
The one pictured here is an add-on FPU for an Intel 80386 CPU.
As someone who is in tech… not sure, either.
But this is about companies, not products or brand names.
WhatsApp is not its own company, it belongs to Facebook/Meta.
Also, on that topic, you could do the same thing you did with X/Twitter to Meta/Facebook.
*edit: Oh, and of course Alphabet/Google. Curious how many big tech companies seem keen on obfuscating their own name these days…
Smartctl works on nvme drives. Use it.
btop for bling
htop for practical utility
top for minimalism, availability, reliability
Well, yeah, dividing something by 0.5 is the same thing as multiplying it by 2…
Top Left – More or less the default position, sensible enough, if a bit naive. Nothing wrong with this.
Top Right – Having knowledge is a good thing, and so is making decisions based on sound risk-benefit analysis.
Bottom Right – Well, at least it’s an informed decision. Just don’t try to pass off the risk on someone else if it backfires.
Bottom Left – Oooouuuuh, you don’t want to be in this quadrant, trust me…
I’m getting some serious loss of fps with this version in at least one game…
Batteries take “rare earth metals” like cobalt.
Some Lithium-Ion batteries use Cobalt, but many don’t. Lithium-Iron-Phosphate, for example, is a popular variant without any Cobalt. There is a push going on to move to battery chemistries without Cobalt or to reduce the actual amount of Cobalt where it is still required.
The way I, as another European, understand this, he’s flying an anti-oppression flag and a pro-oppression flag at the same time.
Several years ago now. On at least two of those tries, after maybe a month or some of daily driving, suddenly the fs goes totally unresponsive and because it’s the entire system, could only reboot. FS is corrupted and won’t recover. There is no fsck. There is no recovery. Total data loss.
Could you narrow it down to just how long ago? BTRFS took a very long time to stabilise, so that could possibly make a difference here. Also, do you remember if you were using any special features, especially RAID, and if RAID, which level?
Out of interest, since I’ve not used the “recommended partion setup” for any install for a while now, is ext4 still the default on most distros?
I recently installed Nobara Linux on an additional drive, because after 20 years, I wanted to give Linux gaming another shot (works a lot better than I had hopes for, btw), and it defaulted to btrfs. I’ll assume so does Fedora, because I cannot imagine Nobara changed that part over the Fedora base for gaming purposes.
This is on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS, so well within the 5 year window. I’m complaining because I kept getting frantic calls from people using that who didn’t know what was going on.
Rimworld for me.
(I have never tried Dwarf Fortress.)
Honorable mention goes to War Thunder, while it isn’t on of my favorites, I was still a bit blown away to find out it runs natively on Linux.
