Linux@lemmy.ml•Three Years of Nix and NixOS: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
14·10 months agoFor DevOps, it provides consistency for every CI run and production deployment, especially when a whole system needs to be shipped.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why don't communist movements focus on creating and nurturing employee owned businesses?
31·11 months agoAccording to the UK’s Labour Party’s report on worker co-operatives in 2017, the main difficulty is access to credit (capital). It makes sense since the model basically eliminates “outside investors”. It has to
- Bootstrap with worker’s own investment, or
- Get investment from credit unions, or
- Have (national or local) government to back it up
Even in the above cases, the credit is often not large or cheap enough for the cooperatives to be competitive. (There are examples in the report that serve as exceptions, I highly recommend giving it a read.)
So at least from this, I’d think the appropriation of means of production would be more fundamental rather than being a simple result of some special way of organizing.

3·1 year agoAn update:
If your company is on the U.S. OFAC SDN lists, subject to an OFAC sanctions program, or owned/controlled by a company on the list, our ability to collaborate with you will be subject to restrictions, and you cannot be in the MAINTAINERS file.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Phoronix: Linus Torvalds Comments On The Russian Linux Maintainers Being Delisted
9·1 year agoThat’s more like his opinion or a post facto justification. Turns out it is a US thing.
If your company is on the U.S. OFAC SDN lists, subject to an OFAC sanctions program, or owned/controlled by a company on the list, our ability to collaborate with you will be subject to restrictions, and you cannot be in the MAINTAINERS file.
So to get back, you have to basically prove that you have no relations with OFAC SDN companies.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•When we finally get to a 4 day work week, will you be happy to see Friday go, or Monday?
3·2 years agoUnless you do something special depending on the day (like going to church on Sundays), aren’t the two options the same? They are both 4 up 3 down periods.

Memes@lemmy.ml•Gen Alpha will elect MrBeast president and there's nothing you can do to stop it
74·2 years agoWell, that already happened for Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Philip K. Dick’s early novella The Gun describes this, but instead of chat bots, they were auto nuclear weapons.
Maybe I’m missing something, but shouldn’t the benchmark be a good approximation to the real workload? I don’t see how the measurements reflect the performance difference in real life usages.
Why would I need 100MiB/s processing as opposed to 20MiB/s processing, when I can only read maybe several lines per second?

18·2 years agoMy gut feeling is that the procedural generation thing in Startfield somehow absorbs some people’s need for mods.
Deprecation warnings should contain suggestions for alternatives.
