Matrix is general-purpose chat. Meet will be replaced with Jitsi.

Also why not nextcloud for storage on someone else's computer.

Worse, they think the problem is that everybody else does not “get” visual design.

This means they didn't even make good design. Another example is KDE vs GNOME.

KDE: "We just did system we wanted."

GNOME: "No, you don't get it, this is design!"

Let us not talk about situations where CHAR_BIT != 8 that's not POSIX anyway.

Yeah, let's not talk about 20-bit one's complement ints.

If n is smaller than the string length (as in: distance to first null byte) then you're bound to have garbage in your return destination

Wha? N is just maximum length of string to copy. Data after dst+n is unchanged.

In retrospect null-terminated strings were a mistake, but so were many other things, at some point you just have to accept that there's hysterical raisins everywhere.

All hail length-prefixed strings!

We are now at t+26h. Please compare how much we knew about the xz-attack after less than a day with what we know about the chain of events of giant outage yesterday.

If something similar had been caused by an OSS component, we would see congress discussing a ban on open software in critical infrastructure already.

Some of the new Reddit mods are so toxic. Instead of apologizing for the bot being too harsh and reinstating my submission, they just banned me because I dared to ask what exactly I didn't "punctuate correctly".

So I think this is ridiculously ugly.

AIO is a horrible ad-hoc design, with the main excuse being “other, less gifted people, made that design, and we are implementing it for compatibility because database people — who seldom have any shred of taste — actually use it”.

— Linus Torvalds (on lwn.net)

First, as database people ourselves, we’d like to take this opportunity to apologize to Linus for our lack of taste. But also expand on why he is right. Linux AIO is indeed rigged with problems and limitations:

The thing that has always disturbed me about O_DIRECT is that the whole interface is just stupid, and was probably designed by a deranged monkey on some serious mind-controlling substances [*].

Let's add more quotes
