This is something that Rust is specifically designed to prevent.

Yes, it says so in the first paragraph

Maybe we’ll get that in the EU someday

A normal copy consists of a program reading from one file and writing to another. There is no way for the filesystem to do a reflink in that case, it just sees that the program is reading and writing stuff. In order to do a reflink, the program must tell the filesystem what data should be “copied” to where using FICLONE or FICLONERANGE. Though some programs will do that by default if possible nowadays when copying files or when moving files between different subvolumes on the same partition, including the Coreutils cp, mv and install commands and some GUI file managers.

None of which are in this picture. The person in the picture talks only favorably of immutable systems yet is apparently against them, thus making for an easy target by arguing against themselves, so a straw man.

I’m actually positive to immutable systems, I just thought the argument wasn’t great. I realize that’s about what Skinner does in the meme, but it feels weak.

On second thought, I think the reason it was so jarring is because normally points against Skinner are in top picture, and the bottom picture has him abandon that line of thoughts in favor of something simplistic, thus changing his mind from one side to the other. Whereas here, the points against Skinner are at the end point of the meme, and thus he argues in both directions simultaneously.

This seems rather strawman-y

64 for the wan interface

Nitpicking, but the address for the wan interface wouldn’t have a prefix, so the host would just set it as a /128 (point-to-point)

Figured I’d do the math on the power required.

In the article, they show a iPhone 15 Pro, which has a 3274 mAh battery, so let’s go with that. Assuming a 3.7 V battery and a 1 minute charging time, that’s 3274 mAh × 3.7 V / 1 min ≈ 727 W.

That’s the original

Sounds like a typical COBOL dev

A310 is the cheapest.

I wonder how well it does for transcoding on older computers without ReBAR, since apparently gaming on it is straight out broken without ReBAR. As in, it would actually freeze for a second or so every now and then.

Why do you feel the need to install an app for a coffee shop?

Another alternative then would be Restic. That’s what I’m using for backups

All the easy options like from Amazon are DRM encumbered. But the DRM-free options are still available if you are willing to search a bit.

Are they? Where (other than piracy)? A lot of books seems to be sold exclusively with DRM from what I can tell. Some are even exclusive to Amazon.

How can it tell the difference between spaces used for indentation and spaces used for alignment, if you use the same character for both?

*plugs USB into Ethernet port

This is how we end up with off-by-one errors

That said, many of our clients still don’t support utf-8 so its all ascii and non-latin alphabets are screwed.

Ah, yes, I heard about that sort of thing. Some bank getting a GDPR complaint because they couldn’t correct the spelling of someone’s name, because their system uses EBCDIC.

What’s the pro of KOReader compared to the stock reader?

Plenty of people will
