Also, these so-called "scientists" claim that there will be "winter" a few months from now, but the weather today is actually warmer than it was yesterday, so I'm scratching my head...
That's nothing! Here in NZ climate scientists are claiming it will be summer in a few months!
How stupid do they think we are? All this stuff about scientific consensus is a total lie!
Getting bullied by Canonical makes loads of sense, but I don't like it one bit.
You need to look into it deeper. It didn't happen that way at all.
Canonical wanted Debian to pick upstart (naturally as it was their software). Once Debian chose systemd though and with RHEL already switching away from upstart to systemd, Canonical felt that being left as the only distro still using upstart wasn't tenable any more. Staying aligned with Debian was more important than getting what they wanted.
I would have thought a 16 core config would be an efficient number.
You may have noticed these are server chips. Intel is now doing the equivalent of ECC with its CPUs - every 9th core is a parity core. There are effectively only 16 cores.
What if we had 1 week warning of the dinosaur-killer?
Well personally, assuming that there was no safe place to send them, I'd take the week off work and spend it with my dinosaurs just to let them know how much I appreciated my time with them.
I'd probably need a little more time off work after that too. Thankfully my boss is pretty generous with bereavement leave.
Apache Struts, Tomcat, and elasticsearch (mentioned in the summary) are all written in java. To me, that indicates a JAVA vulnerability, not a Linux vulnerability.
Or more likely a bug in an Apache Commons library they all use.
eg Struts is from Apache, Tomcat is from Apache, Elasticsearch is based on Lucene which is also from Apache.
Agreed. On my laptop with an SSD, the non systemd OS boots faster than it takes to get through the BIOS stuff.
And as for servers, they can take fucking ages to get through all their BIOS/BMC/RAID controller etc bullshit. Shaving a few seconds off the OS boot time is irrelevant as it's by far the quickest part - especially if the actual services themselves take ages to start (bloody Java).
It bugs me that we're using words like "hip" and "cool" to describe programming languages. That anyone would choose to learn (or use) a language on the basis of it being "hip" is dumb. I'm looking at you, Ruby.
Heh, I think that crowd has mostly moved on to Go (via Node for some of the earlier ones).
Yeah, I skimmed the list and there were only a few things that were newer than 5 years old. Docker definitely, node.js is maybe 5yrs old already (but that looks like it peaked - the cool kids have already moved on). Chef is already about 5 years old and Puppet is already much older (and that's ignoring much older config management tools).
This is some of the drivel being spread around by conspiracy theorists, russian shills and russian conspiracy theorist shills.
Don't forget all the ones with an Su25 being involved in shooting it down (haha).
I love how all these conspiracy nuts paint the US govt as some scheming Machiavellian mastermind, when the reality is that they keep getting caught unprepared with their pants down whenever some unanticipated international development happens.
Ahhh but the nutjobs will claim "that it is all part of the deception!"

the BUK system is equipped with a civilian transponder safety lock which has to be manually disabled before a missile can be fired at an aircraft showing a civilian IFF.
One plausible (but possibly wrong) explanation I heard was that the radar on the launcher vehicle is really just turned on for targeting after proper identification, and that the search radars normally on the other vehicles are used for identification and have the transponder detection bits.
They must spread em out like that to lessen the chances of the launcher being detected and targeted.
The rebels (and their Russian handlers?) might only have had the launcher vehicle to work with. The Ukrainian surveillance photos I've seen only seem to show the launcher. Of course that doesn't rule out the other vehicles being there too.
But if the other radars were actually present, then it really does look deliberate or at least incredibly incompetent for them to think it was a military plane.
Sheesh with all that whining you'd think all other languages are being banned from CS departments and nobody will ever learn anything else in later classes.
Whatever you think about Python, it has to be better than Java for an intro CS course. Less bureaucracy, can also do non OO paradigms, easier to code without an IDE etc, has an interactive shell for exploring code, and you get to the CS parts quicker without having to flounder around in the programming ceremony parts.
Moving away from Pascal (or Scheme or whatever) to Java in the first place was a mistake IMO.

Apparently ksh was where bash originally got the idea about exportable functions from.
Respectable physicists are only "mad" because they never got invited to the right sort of parties.
Sure, why not?
Decrease the men's fatality rate down the women's rate. That would be a good thing right?
Or are you comfortable that so many men get killed at work? Is it just the price we pay for profits or something?

Kamikazes? Tamil Tigers? I'm sure there are plenty of other examples.
Yuck - two way databinging sounds like there's a purging phase involved!

I thought that was South Africa?
Is there a Marxist equivalent of Godwins Law?
I'm a little scared to think of what "Spreadsheet" means in that context.

Maybe not miraculous breakthroughs, but we've been getting better at directly utilising our only currently usable fusion reactor.
Then again it is ultimately responsible for nearly all our other energy sources too.

You got it. It's a bit like peeking and poking but much faster and involves extra hardware.

Dammit dude, don't leave slashdot logged in like that. Billy Bob Jr has been messing around on your computer again!
I think you meant "fleeing from power" after securing all the loot at Putin's holiday home but before anyone could legally hold him to account.
It's not recommended for use on any system yet.
