Fedora supports secure boot out of the box

Fun fact: German actually has a distinction between these two meanings of the same. “Dasselbe Schiff” would be the ship itself, and no other ship, even if it is the same. “Das gleiche Schiff” is another ship that is the same.

But I think it’s better for it to fail from expected behavior vs unexpected behavior. Your storage being full is very transparent and expected, but that a file reaches max size and starts cutting off is unexpected and would surprise a lot of people.

I myself use supercomputers and the log files can get into a lot of GB, and I would hate it if it just cut off at some point.

Well, Linux is also made for servers and super computers, and just imagine it refusing to keep logs because the file’s too large

I used to run Debian Testing and it borked my install - never had that problem on e.g. Arch. I feel like because it’s not a rolling release as the default but explicitly for developers, it’s less stable. But that might just have been bad luck.

Oh, interessant, danke

Na gut, gegen einen Stromausfall ist kein elektrischer Zug gewappnet…

Honestly, also the latter. If you are using hundreds of thousands of cores for over 100h, every single second counts.

It really depends on your field. I’m doing my master’s thesis in HPC, and there, clever programming is really worth it.

Also related, I had a psychology teacher with a PhD in psychology. But because in German schools, you need to teach two subjects (with the exception of the arts), he also taught physics. He was a terrible physics teacher, but a pretty good psychology one.

I do understand it differently, but I don’t think I misunderstood. I think what they meant is the physicist notation I’m (as a physicist) all too familiar with:

∫ f(x) dx = ∫ dx f(x)

In this case, because f(x) is the operand and ∫ dx the operator, it’s still uniquely defined.

That reminds me of a story my bachelor’s supervisor in astrophysics told me: One of his best PhDs applied at an insurance company. They got an Excel sheet with data that they had 1 week to analyze. All the other applicants took the whole week. He just put it in Python, solved it in a few hours, and got the job.

I’d say the $\int dx$ is the operator and the integrand is the operand.

I think you mean operator. The operand is the target of an operator.

If they’re really, really good.

Here in Munich, our public transport is much better than any American city, but I still hate taking the train in summer. AC either does not exist or is far too weak. Taking the car takes 40, maybe 50 minutes, the train 1h25min. I still take the train, mind you, but it’s so much more exhausting than the car…

I have to mention my daily commute is between two cities outside Munich.

There’s no fire in the sun. Fire is some material oxidizing, and that’s not what’s happening (or at least not in relevant amounts). What creates the radiation is nuclear fusion.

Also, Japan is very capitalistic and they have amazing trains.

I recently was in the BMW museum and they actually had a whole section dedicated to their Nazi past and how they want to never do that again. Do with that what you will but at least they’re not shoving it under the carpet.
