Wayland came in after they had started and was initially far more hype than substance. It's initial design was also incredibly unrealistic until some other developers came on board. It took a while before it was even clear that Wayland development would proceed instead of vanishing in a puff of hype.
He died because of his time in a prison camp. Because of the way his jaw had been broken and healed without splinting in the camp a doctor, years later, could not get a tube down his throat in time when he was undergoing surgery.
Did USSR have others with the engineer/manager talent but perished in purges
Think for a moment. The USSR is gone and there's probably some people who grew up in it in your street. With the number of people involved in such projects there is no way to keep such secrets to the present day. Also the USSR was very keen on documentation and many historians have been through the information on the space program. Also we already know about many of their failures. They may not have ended up in the newspapers of the day but they ended up many books, tv programs etc. Deborah Cadbury's "The Space Race" (book and BBC tv series) has many examples.
It turns out that large parachutes are not so simple. in hindsight there should have been more unmanned tests but there was far less value put on the life of the crew than would be expected. Of all things the Anime "Space Brothers" had a side story told in flashback based on what happened to Soyuz 1.
So long as it's not a hot day or not raining they seem to be getting into the air at times:) I wonder if the story about one of them inverting when it few over the date line is true or was a joke.
as I have been on Slashdot (likely longer than you)
Like thousands of others I was here on day one (Rob Malda got the news out so a lot of people turned up). Pick something else for a petty little pissing contest.
Bullshit, you marked me foe some time back because I wrote something critical of one of your little cheerleading pieces on Trump after the end of the primaries.
However, the Democrats are evidently becoming increasingly unhinged.
Probably, but in comparison to the teabaggers they are as sober as Judges.
As the years pass, I become every more glad I picked Australia, instead of America when I changed countries
We are copycats so what you are happy to have left behind will catch up. For example, a few years ago a migrant from the US said one little thing that made him happy was that a park would just have a sign with the name of the park instead of a long list of what was prohibited. Well, we decided to copy ambulance-chasing lawsuits and those parks now have the long lists. We even copied the Enron-era Californian electricity market! Copycats taking the worst ideas and not a lot of the good ones.
So "measured" that the base that was attacked was back to normal operations on the same day. I don't think "strong" is the word. "Dramatic" maybe. I think you are describing a warning shot badly.
No. If the malware is on the thing long enough the user will be holding the phone the same way enough times. Stack up enough similar data and the uncommon stuff becomes trivial noise.
1-2 GB RAM is woefully inadequate for a box running ZFS. Do some research.
It still runs, it just can't cache as much - do something practical instead of whining about "research".
I've got a 32bit machine with 2GB of memory and 24 IDE disks to use as a test box to teach people about ZFS. It's as quick as it ever was with hardware RAID. It's nice to have something like that so people can see for themselves how to get back from fairly nasty failures and at what point you can't get back.
Nobody notices, or cares, about SysV vs. systemd outside of computer forums like Slashdot.
Indeed - it's a server issue since systemd has a desktop focus. Pulseaudio was crap for years (which is why it keeps coming up as an example) but then a new bunch of developers took it over.
What I'd be almost more excited about is an AI HR system so the HR system could not ignore you based on personal biases and/or relationships.
Those who set up the model for use will add in their preferred bias so there is no reason to be excited. Those who don't like the results will not accept them.
I'm reminded of some earlier post here about how all those HR questions about attitudes to family are just a back door method of screening for homosexuals. Don't expect HR people to be ethical (or even properly serve their employers) just because they got a new tool.
As reused cynically by Tom Wolfe in his novel. Tim Berners-Lee is using it in that context despite being the right age to have once been bombarded by He-Man advertising.
Yes, and the term "A.I." has been cheapened just like how "nanotech" includes toothpaste instead of Drexler's little machines. Despite true "A.I." being an inestimable way off some dumb bots not much more capable than the current dumb bots may end up being capable of delivering such a nightmare.
Escalation of access is still an issue. Personally I see the moral of the story as being the old one that security is weakened if you have to use the access method very frequently. That's one of the reasons why alarm systems often have a different code for each user instead of ending up with four numbers almost worn off the keypad after a few years. How many days would elapse before the user had entered their PIN fifty times in their phone? I don't think it would be a very long time and the malware can wait.
Please stop wasting your time and just go read Lennart's blog so that you can get on the ground floor on this issue.
I am not trying to suck up to you
No, you are bestowing virtual sainthood on a software developer having trouble (much of it his own making) with a difficult project.
But I don't see how it has to do with my speculations about how people here on/. perceive systemd.
That's very "meta" of you but ultimately pointless because the perception comes from real issues. How about less speculation and something actually to do with the topic? Please stop bothering me and just read his blog and use your own understand of software to see where he is right, where he is wrong and what his actual goals are.
Ummmm no. Why are you taking this simpering symcophanitic line that is wildly divergent from reality? The guy is no genius and hasn't even been coding for as long as this site has been up. While that would not normally be a problem he's not learning from what has come before so keeps repeating the mistakes others made (and worked around) long ago.
At least in theory systemd should kill hung process
No, and it doesn't. It has a few design flaws that will probably be cleaned up someday but it was rushed out early and we are stuck with it.
systemd stomps on with the one true way
Are you trying some sort of joke here?
Seriously, read his blog. Don't just make assumptions or take my word for anything (and there's no point wasting your time trying to convince me of something until you've got the background).
All true but it's a situation where the bar is set very low and does not need to be set any higher. Years back in high school my application for work in a fast food chicken place was nowhere near as formal as even snapchat. It was less than a minute on the phone, most of which was taken with when and where to turn up for the interview.
Fair enough, but instead of a shallow interpretation perhaps you should look at Lennert's blog to get an idea of what I'm writing about. He's trying a very different approach to the earlier init systems and it shows. My only real gripe is that like early PulseAudio it's being pushed on us while it's still in rapid development with stability and documentation as an afterthought.
Software as such is prone to such bugs
An init system should not be, especially one developed with an aim to run some parts in parallel (obviously not all since it still hangs in some situations where the earlier init (correclty) gave up, reported an error and let the next task run).
As for killing user background processes, it's a change of default option
It's yet another sign of not understanding the platform and what people do with it. It is quite frankly a newbie mistake. He knows MS Windows and his development environment as distinct from a *nix production environment.
Considerable help? Just hit the win key and start typing the name of the app you want
Just like the hidden offscreen controls in Win8 such a thing is not so obvious until someone tells you or you see it for yourself. The receptionists, accounts staff and general admin staff where I work have been using MS Windows since 3.11 but they wouldn't think of hitting the win key and start typing the name of the app you want - it's not the way MS environments have worked in the past.

That is a lie. You marked me as foe last year after the primaries.
Wayland came in after they had started and was initially far more hype than substance. It's initial design was also incredibly unrealistic until some other developers came on board.

Yes.

Among other things he had to eject and parachute from outside of the capsule. That design would have killed a monkey. It wasn't built for a monkey.
He died because of his time in a prison camp. Because of the way his jaw had been broken and healed without splinting in the camp a doctor, years later, could not get a tube down his throat in time when he was undergoing surgery.
Yes.
