  • I find it ironic that Linus’s explanation for ENOENT being invalid for an ioctl given its meaning of “No such file or directory”, while simultaneously ioctl can return ENOTTY when using a mismatched device fd despite the error meaning “Not a typewriter.”

  • The fact that most universities will graduate CS majors without ever teaching them how to use a debugger, build system, or version control system shows how useful they are to actual engineering work.

  • Right? Most of the time when I build linux I’m not using GNU because of its burdensome license. Realistically you usually don’t need most of the binaries anyway, and those you do like echo and ls are trivial to reimplement, at least for their common functionality.

  • Honestly by the time I decide to retire an old machine, it’s because I’ve developed so much animosity towards it that I’m much more likely to have an attitude of “good riddance” than “farewell old friend”.

  • deleting someone's entire git history

    Based on the image text this is for new accounts only. My account has neither phone nor credit card and I’ve not been asked to re-verify. Maybe they’re having problems with bots at the moment.

  • I thought Fight Club was a boxing movie and had no interest in seeing it. I only saw it because I tried downloading Jackass on Kazaa and it ended up being Fight Club. The intro had me hooked.

  • Pascal’s little-known friend Luigi’s wager.

  • Is boot time that much of an issue besides for arbitrary competitive reasons? I haven’t tried any optimizations and boot time on my headless server is less than two seconds.

  • If you pay with your CC and sign the receipt after seeing the total, you’re going to have a very hard time getting it removed.

  • ”On a scale of 1 to 10, how often do you think about killing yourself?”

    “Uhhh… 3?”

    ”That’ll be $40”

  • Not only that - they’re dying in the street immediately adjacent to vacant luxury condos.

  • A good pair of pliers, like the Knipex Cobra.

  • It seems silly to be distrustful of proprietary BIOS firmware without having the same skepticism of the actual hardware.

  • Least helpful debugging duck.

  • Alien (1986), not to be confused with the first installment of the series, Alien (1979) or its subsequent third, Alien 1 (1992).

    1, the story of King Leonidas’s foolish attempt to take on the entire Persian army by himself (Runtime: 3 minutes).

    One Shade of Grey, the story of one man’s quest to change the industry standard Pantone color palette.

  • I had a linux 5520 and it was terrible. Standby and bluetooth never worked properly. Are the new models any better?

  • I think it’s more like “snuck up on us” than any kind of nefarious connotation. Kind of like “how did a niche game like BG3 sneak into the top ten games list”?

  • Blocked by my employer’s security policies.

  • Just read both Al Jazeera and The Jerusalem Post and take the average.
