Font is nowhere near as nice as Elston/Volvo Broad; but I suppose it's better for touchscreens. My advice for Volvo:

1.) Go back to actual buttons/dials (with the old font, please)

2.) Fix the comically bad horrifying electronics issues the new models have.


Sir, this is a Wendy's.

If you want all-singing, all-dancing opaque binaries to handle every conceivable configuration eventuality, MacOS and Windows are <-- that way. Or, you could have patience, and sometime soon systemd will likely expand to cover your use-case.


On MacOS I remember many .plist files but no binary config files. The .plist format looks similar to XML.

I like the .ini format used by systemd (and do not have an opinion about the overall quality of systemd).


Feel free to implement system utilities in whichever language you feel will completely eliminate the possibility of bugs.

I wait with bated breath.


"error-prone" means bugs are more likely than the alternatives. It doesn't mean that the alternatives completely eliminate the possibility of bugs. Come on.

I wonder what the tally is for "things posted to HN that'll replace bash/ksh/zsh in every respect REAL Soon Now". It's a genre of post unto itself.

What language is Systemd written in? I'm pretty sure it's not Bash.

I've never been able to use systemd as a command interpreter.

An init system doesn't need to be a command interpreter. Why are you being so obtuse?

It doesn't need to be, but there are some advantages in being able to have system startup scripts in the same language that you do one-liners in at the terminal.

Unironically, yes.

Now get back to work.

...so?


This story was why, since I was very young, I'd been fascinated by this scene:

I don't know if you're just joking but this is the crux of the problem and what they are asking for has deep implications. If somebody can thoroughly define evil in a software license, please publish it for review so that we can learn from it.


You can pay for LSF; which is older than SLURM, but IMHO more reliable under load....


Yeah, OOD is a giant RoR webapp; you need to be running it on a node that can submit to your cluster.


RoR = Ruby on Rails


"productive"


Simplest way to increase total absolute output is always to stop providing intake.

Obviously, this fails almost immediately; operative word "almost". Definition of "almost": longer than a moment. Definition of moment:

As it happens, high-trust societies have just spent the better part of a century teaching their constituents to "live in the present", atop half a millenium of teaching them that time is a thing linear, discrete, and properly scaled for decision making.

Ergo: if the time between doing something stupid and realizing you did something stupid is longer than your attention span, you're a perpetual motion device.
