It has been in exponential growth since the signal was distinguishable from the noise, and exponentials do not have inflection points…

The only inflection we can expect is when it reaches 1/4 of saturation.

Tony Lazuto says you should delete System32

Yep, different licenses have different consequences.

The same way, if the BSD internet stack was GPL, we wouldn’t have an internet at all.

That’s yet another great joke that GNU ruined.

Oh, they absolutely should. A “Jarvis” would be great.

But that thing they are pushing has absolutely no relation to a “Jarvis”.

Well, ok. I don’t really plan to do that. It was a joke.

I do wish it was something viable, though.

That’s why I plan to move my servers into an L4 clone.

It’s close to 1 in 20 PCs nowadays. It’s growing very quickly, and has been adopted in non-irrelevant amounts for a few years already.

I’m just not sure what the middle guy would be saying

“I hate inheritance! I hate inheritance! I hate inheritance! I hate inheritance!”

But well, inheritance goes brrrrrr.

But you should really have a backup system. And often you should have a version control system too.

“Log” is the name of the place you write your tracing information into.

Let me introduce you to syslogd.

But well, it’s probably overkill, and you almost certainly just need to log on a shared volume.

Actually, not much.

It always had reliability issues with bad hardware, and computers boot incredibly quickly nowadays. But yeah, it requires swap, and if you want it, there’s a sibling answer here about sawppiness.

Have you tried?

Because it does.

Just decrease your swap space.

Unless you have an unusual system, there’s no reason to have several GB of swap.

The sheer number of people that do not expect a joke on this community… (Really, if you are trying to learn how to program pay attention to the one without the Humor on the name, not here.)

Well, I guess nobody expects.

That *++ operator from C is indeed confusing.

Reminds me of the goes-to operator: --> that you can use as:

while(i --> 0) {

The thing is, one of those attacks requires you to type your password. The other requires you to touch something.

They already have a confirmation box when you try to change the extension. And could just as easily move it into another column where it’s harder to change (explorer was like this once, a long time ago).

And yet, they keep hiding the on the rationale that it confuses the users. The most common thing on explorer is some user being confused because they can’t understand what clicking on a file is supposed to do, but that’s not an argument for showing them…

So, yeah, that’s the surface-level explanation. But there’s a deeper reason.
