Part of it is whether the code can be traced back to original AT&T code. Which would be true for e.g. BSD variants (which includes MacOS). https://i.redd.it/kgv4ckmz3zb51.jpg

Another part is the trademark and certification fee. https://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/Brandfees.htm


You might be interested in these articles if you want to experiment with alternative approaches to the intrusive linked-list and are OK with using object pools. Very handy if you want to have cheap alloc/free and want good memory locality for updating the objects.

Thanks! I started with an intrusive linked list because I just wanted to get something working but replacing it with something else has been on my mind for the same reasons you mention.


You're probably thinking of the initial handshake bit rather than what the middle of the data stream sounded like. https://www.windytan.com/2012/11/the-sound-of-dialup-picture...


You can find a number of technical deep-dives for classic video game consoles where people have had do deal with very limited resources.

This video springs to mind as one example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfAnxaWiSeE


cool, I should dig about that sub topic too.


It can be useful to break the game in subtle ways so that the crackers have a harder time knowing when the crack is fully done. https://www.nag.co.za/2013/10/23/the-5-biggest-and-most-awes...


You might want to look into GloriousEggroll, it tends to have better support for media and such.

And just proving why I love Hacker News. I'm going to test proton out a bit then I'll check this out. I appreciate all the links and help


Have you tried increasing the log-level in /etc/systemd/system.conf? You can also set LogTarget=kmsg if you have issues with the journal. You can also control this with the kernel command line if you prefer https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.htm... You could try a kernel command line like this 'systemd.log_level=debug systemd.log_target=kmsg' for instance

You can also look at systemctl list-dependencies local-fs.target to see if it has any failed dependencies

You can also use systemctl show local-fs.target to sanity-check it to see if there are any local modifications to the target that are breaking it


This is correct for a half-closed interval https://mathworld.wolfram.com/Half-ClosedInterval.html


And if you want to see the definition of terror, look at the second video on this page when part of the main crater collapsed https://www.ruv.is/frett/2021/03/21/hraunrennsli-dagsins-a-o...


The definition of terror is people laughing while trotting out of the way?


What in the name of god are these tourists(?) doing there !?


It's not that dangerous in real time (lava is slooow), especially if you have hills like they do close by to go up on.


This is from the webcam at the time. https://www.ruv.is/frett/2021/03/21/gigbarmurinn-gefur-sig-o...


There have been incidents in Hawaii where people successfully used a garden hose to protect their home from oncoming lava flow.


Also in Iceland with fire hoses (against a considerably larger amount of lava):

(This book is amazing -- highly recommended!)


Isn't there a chance a projectile of lava could land on them?


Looks to be about half a kilometer. The webcam looks to be at about 63.89045405043735, -22.279054215941507 and the main crater is at about 63.88921695342744, -22.269097856211175

The main crater is only a few tens of meters tall.


About?! The 14th decimal place of latitude is worth ~0.15mm!


Although that might have been tongue-in-cheek, the word "about" could refer to the accuracy of the position, not its precision.

Precision != accuracy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accuracy_and_precision


But the number of digits should reflect the precision.


When pointing at a map, the thickness of your digits should reflect precision.


How accurate are your digits?


Yes. If it's only 5 digits, it should be cut-off to reflect that. Accuracy needs an error estimate.


It's hard if you don't know the precision needed to get to the position you want, easier to just copy/paste and be done with it. How many knows how far 0.001 deg is at a specific location on the globe?


I find it hard to estimate the position from the top-down view compared to when I was there, and I just copy-pasted the coordinates from Google Maps


The smallest possible resolution of GPS in the horizontal is 10mm (6-7 digits) with local differential corrections.

In general, 4-5 digits is the precision to expect.


Hm, then I think my calculation that the 14th digit is worth 0.15mm must be wildly incorrect.

For a 40km earth circumference, I worked out 10^-14 * 360 * 4*10^7 = 0.00014 metres.


I think you want to divide by 360 instead of multiplying by 360 - when you divide by 360, you should get the linear distance represented by one degree of latitude or longitude.
