Did anyone poll the original first natives that Denmark put in serious effort to genocide through a campaign of forced sterilization?
Maybe the real Greenlanders would choose independence or the USA over Denmark after those Nazi level Denmark government policies.
We should ask the survivors of the Denmark genocide.
It doesn't matter what the colonizer genocider invaders think.
IIRC ZFS 2.4 will do parallel zpool imports, so that should help a bit, especially with a big server.
I think half my boot time on a big backup server is LSI device enumeration - which is totally not parallel - so there's only so much one can do.
Could the mptsas devs parallelize this task? It would certainly make lots of people happy.
It's also possible I could fiddle with systemd dependencies to get me a login shell before all the pools are imported because those pools aren't needed at all for the root filesystem. They'll be used minutes to hours later when a backup is initiated.
On my media machine some services like jellyfin need certain filesystems up before it starts but I don't need jellyfin to be started before sshd comes up. Etc.
We're still a ways from having a good tool to automate these dependency trees and most sysadmins are "meh, I can wait two minutes". It's certainly not the ideal for remarkably fast computers.
Also being starved for PCI lanes on pretty much every system is a pain. I'd take lanes over more cores or more GHz any day of the week. Let the data flow!
Off topic.
This is about reducing the cost of entitled incompetent cry baby devs not having AI fill out gvt required financial reports.
But the answer is no. Execs will not use AI to fill out those forms. The law requires they be accurate. Nothing requires software to be bug free. And oh hey, human written code is definitely not bug free so wtf is the difference of AI writes shitty code, too? The answer is AI will produce shitty code for lower costs, much faster than the entitled cry baby human dev writes shitty code.
But they will use AI to replace devs who are so stupid and context blind they think that coding vs financial filings is a clever gotcha apples to apples comparison.
You got modded +1 interesting. You're not. You should have been -1 off topic.
Literally everyone who isn't a dev is looking forward to being able to write their own programs without dealing with a bunch of spectrum dwellers.
Software development will soon be talked about the same way we talk about telephone switch operators.
Mod this down, bring in the AC to blather off topic nonsense, but you know this is true. Development is a dead end.
> Why was it removed in the first place,
Per Rene:
IMHO The removal of XAA was a huge cooperate planned obsolesce mission for older GPUs. Rendering everything mostly unusable slow. even for period correct X11 apps. The code should have just been left in peace and only bugs and security patches applied instead of outright deleting it for no good reason.
Here's a commit for XAA support in T2 Linux for others who are interested. I hope Rene has time to push it up to XLibre since it seems like the Xorg people are going to steamroll Wayland if they can and the XLibre fork will be the only surviving X11 server. Obviously it would be best if every distro could run on older hardware and Wayland is likely a poor choice for vintage computing.
I didn't know about T2 Linux and it really looks fantastic - I thought NetBSD was my only choice on some of those machines. Some of the screenshots feature WindowMaker, the spiritual successor to NeXTStep, which ran on an '030 and 2D video so this all makes perfect sense.
Those machines were perfectly usable and we can actually afford, today, the amount of RAM they used.
The claims against the archive owner are wild and would be easily disproved if untrue.
Is this the same operator who would block readers if their ISP used some DNS feature he didn't like, back in the day?
I understand being disagreeable, but, jeeze, this takes it to a whole new level. Way to have people's sympathies and then burn it all to the ground with malice.
Wikipedia was apparently in the position of being forced to amplify the attacks with their links to the archive. Not a supporter of theirs these days but what else were they to do?
Wow, you're so on point with that well founded and detailed reply.
I've traveled Europe at length many times, I've worked in Europe, I've managed Europeans for years, I've worked with numerous other Europeans.
The best you can come up with is, "Uhm, duh, you are a poopy head!" delivered as a meme line you don't understand how to use. After telling me I'm ignorant you are supposed to back it up with something solid and explain where I'm wrong with some sort of referenced fact.
You failed.
European developers are the laziest and most entitled adult children I've ever had to work with. Except saying I worked with them isn't quite so because they didn't work. They hemmed n hawed n stalked n delayed and eventually just stopped pretending entirely, killing multiple important projects while still getting paid and in one case costing my company $20 million to shut down the entire office because that was less painful than continuing to try to work with such lazy useless dead weight.
I will repeat my prediction because Europe is so clearly target rich for this: AI will entirely gut and lead to mass job slaughter of European tech, devs in particular, and almost certainly other white collar verticals. And Americans who have been forced to deal with their childish anti-work nonsense for decades will cheer their mass layoffs. American and Chinese devs will cash in big time on the European white collar slaughter.
I'll save you your next reply by posting it for you, "Neener neener neener, I can not hear you! You are a giant poopy head! You are dumb! (Insert some not-clever comment about my alias and refuse to reply to any of my statements directly because you know I'm right but reflexively must disagree)." There ya go, saved you a post.
It is not happening, and it is good that it is. And you should celebrate it, and why are you so obsessed with it. This rhetoric tactic does not address the core problem that men are not women, and autogynophilia is real.
It feels a bit like they're still behaving like a nonprofit, except they're not releasing their models to the public anymore, opting to instead keep them close to their chest. In the process of moving to a for-profit business, they mostly forgot to switch to a for-profit business model.
In that case Joe becomes an amateur programmer.
Joe has always been an amateur programmer. Spreadsheets are functional programming. Joe has been writing complex macros, wrestling databases and refining OLAPs for decades, as Joe built a mini-IT system inside his department, much to the chagrin of the actual IT dept. Now Joe has a powerful clanker to write scads of code.
it's probably full of undocumented gotcha's, poorly normalized data, and requires special fudgy steps at times that only Joe understands
That's another one of Joe's days that end in "y". Joe doesn't care. Joe's bosses don't care.
If Joe leaves the company, the company is F'd.
Now the company has clankers to wade through the mess Joe made. So that's not the problem is has always been.
The guy that makes all of that white powdery shit you snort could be a chemical engineer, which is nothing like mechanical engineering.
Newly hired employees are not given the same access to important rights and privileges as the CEO.
You mean like system authorization? My experience tells me the CEO has less of that than even most admin and developer new hires, or even IT generalists, unless it's like a startup or something. However, a CTO may or may not have more.
Is AI just a better challenger, or is it a new type of challenger? I think two things are both true. It is a new and perhaps better challenger, and in some ways it is no different. The core challenge remains: turn ideas into software reality. Coding is a small part of that, and while AI may do a better and better job of handling pieces than most India firms, it falls flat in complex, novel, or uncertain situations- which describes pretty much every corporate IT project.
Nothing is finished until the paperwork is done.
