I love this, especially the criticism of the FSF.
For coms, Zulip seems OK. I would really like Matrix to take off, but I honestly don’t really like any of the clients.

Yes, thanks for the spelling correction.
8½ is a pretty surreal. Considered one of the most influential films of all time. One of the earliest examples of post-modernism in film.
Every scene in Ex Machina is basically a dialogue covering different arguments in the philosophy of AI. Plus a surreal dance scene.
I was blown away by mother! when I first saw it. But looking back on it, the allegory wasn’t exactly subtle.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a meta-modern masterpiece.
Tropic Thunder, as a meta commentary on comedy, is actually really good. Aside from the great comedy itself.
The meaning of version numbers can vary across projects.
One common scheme is Semantic Versioning, which divides the version number into three parts: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
*
MAJOR
is incremented when there are backwards incompatible changes.MINOR
is incremented when new features are added in a backwards compatible way.PATCH
is incremented for smaller big fixes.* It’s a bit more complex than this, but this is the gist.
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.
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.
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?
From an engineering perspective, I prefer Debian distros. Apt is the greatest package manager ever built. For a production server, I’d choose Debian or maybe Ubuntu if I needed to pay someone for support.
But for a desktop, Ubuntu kinda sucks. These days, I think I’d recommend Fedora to Linux noobs.
And for my toys at home, I run Arch btw.
For Zulip, I’ve only used it on the web. Apparently they have iOS, Android, Desktop, and Terminal clients.
For Matrix, there are many clients on all platforms, but none have ever stood out to me. Element is the official client, and it’s… fine I guess.
