There’s an image going around showing a bar chart of GitHub uptimes over the last several years. It was steady as a rock until Microsoft took over, then it started dipping like crazy and never recovered.
Man, remember when three nines was the standard uptime guarantee?
It’s mostly padding after the first hundred million years.
When I was younger I would go through an entire box of Cream of Wheat (a brand of instant wheat porridge) in a week. It’s way better than regular oatmeal.
Well, the brown sugar and apple cinnamon varieties are. Plain cream of wheat is absolutely vile.
The kernel handles memory, so it’s only fair it takes a share of the blame!
Go full Russian roulette and include the OOM killer itself in the list of targetable processes.

I like how the barely-noticeable castle in the background gets a ton of detail, but the helicopter that’s the focus of the strip is just a couple of connected blobs.

Tangential, but stuff like this makes me wish Intel’s Optane had taken off. It was supposed to have the persistence of an SSD with performance near that of RAM, but it was expensive and the OEMs who included it relegated it to little more than a glorified drive cache.
Imagine being able to allocate some of your spare storage as extra RAM the same way the Pi lets you decide the RAM/VRAM split. Or more realistically, sticking your swapfile on it and your build not taking several days even though you’re only working with a quarter gig of RAM.
Rule 3: SD CARD CORRUPTION
Rookie mistake. Next time store your swapfile on Google Drive so it’s their problem!
As for “Why tell me?” The theory is still that it is better for your life to know and that God’s law is better and more generous than man’s law.
The Golden Rule has popped up independently in cultures across the globe (including the Abrahamic religions), and I’d argue it’s a much better foundation for morality than anything that assumes/requires supernatural backing.
Cats are basically tiny dragons. He was defending his territory.
The language restriction of not knowing the language.
It’s a sentence that contains every letter of the alphabet. They’re pointing out that the ‘the’ is unnecessary.
“Huh? Whose buttprints are these?”
