Li Hongyi is the son of Singapore PM Lee Hsien Loong, as well as a deputy director in GovTech Singapore (the Government Technology Agency). (He's also an MIT CS grad, and a past Googler.)

I suppose he wrote this for other people in the Singapore civil service.

That's essentially what Korean did. They replaced everything with their own morphophonemic orthography.

But even then they still use Hanja to disambiguate sometimes.

The Wikipedia article on this provides some background information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphemisms_for_Internet_censor...

> The 2004 Chinese Communist Party announcement of the goal of constructing a "harmonious society" has been cited by the government of China as the reason for Internet censorship. As a result, Chinese netizens began to use the word "harmonious/harmonize/harmonization" (和谐) as a euphemism for censorship when the word for censorship itself was censored, particularly on BBSs. Following this, the word "harmonious" itself was censored, at which point Chinese netizens began to use the word for "river crab", a near homophone for "harmonious". In a further complication of meaning, sometimes aquatic product (Chinese: 水产) is used in place of "river crab".

That's because you are supposed to do bounds-checking yourself in Rust, not because they don't want to handle it gracefully.

It's like happens when you read out of bounds in C, except it fails more reliably.

Then you disable overcommit.

For the general case though, because of the way programs have been written, it is easier to have overcommit on.

These aren't text files, but Google Docs files, which Google doesn't count against an account's quota.

This runs on proot, which basically ptraces all processes under it and intercepts any syscalls that need privileges or deal with paths, and emulates them.

It works pretty well until you start to run many processes, and then proot starts to be a bottleneck. It's not multithreaded, so every syscall ends up going through a single loop. Any multithreaded code that makes a lot of syscalls will be reduced to being effectively singlethreaded.

If you don't like a law, change it, don't break it and get yourself in trouble.

This is basically the difference between East Asian cultures and Western/American culture. We value a balance of order and individual rights, you guys value individual rights over all.

The problem is the intent of the gathering, not that it had a foreign speaker. (Not that I agree with the law, but that's what it says.)

Why is everyone focusing on the fact that someone spoke via Skype?

The fact is that

1. Jolovan Wham did organise a physical gathering of people 2. The gathering/assembly meets the definition as in the Public Order Act[1] 3. The venue, The Agora, meets the definition of a public place as in the Public Order Act

They could have been watching a recorded video and it would have been the same.

Simplicity is nice sometimes.

Windows works on the new MacBook not because it has special drivers for NVMe-via-T2 but because Apple trusts Microsoft's EFI key.

So no, stop it with all this "Linux works if you just disable Secure Boot" nonsense. It doesn't. You can run Linux from a USB key, sure, but it can't access the internal NVMe SSD!

What?

Some GTK themes are really good nowadays. See Materia.

And if you mean some (many) non-DE applications have really bad UI, then that's true on Windows too.

My bad, should've said merged.

I wrote the comment immediately after reading Linus's email.

FWIW, C-SKY architectural support was recently pulled: http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1810.3/03389.html

PRoot's overhead is very significant though. Especially the moment you have more than one thread running..

Yes, you can disable Secure Boot, but Linux still isn't allowed to access the NVMe device.

The GPU is on the CPU die. Hardkernel can't offer a version without one unless different versions have different CPUs.

And for that matter I don't think Intel offers any low-power chips without a built-in graphics accelerator.

No, but this does it the way JavaScript wants it. FCVTZS has always been therr. FJCVTZS[1] is new.

Did someone say ARM is RISC?

As far as I understand, the thermal limit at 80C and TDP limit at 15W on Linux is what Lenovo actually intended, and the limits on Windows are broken.

At least according to this Ubuntu maintainer: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1763144...

You should explicitly say that you wish to pay by "NETS QR". Otherwise they assume you mean by card or NFC.

That's S0i3 for you.

I'm not sure why the author is so excited! But it makes the article a bit difficult to read!

Spoof the adapter's MAC?

What are you saying??

There is a single source of truth for a particular version of Linux.

You can't really compare to Singapore.

English is our primary language.

But only the owner of the private key associated with the certificate can intercept traffic. The keys used to sign the certificate have no impact on the actual encryption whatsoever...

This just makes the password the hash of the user's passphrase.

Oh man. Where I'm from (Singapore), tests are more of a never-take-home-unless-you-absolutely-have-to work.

You don't.

Use a kernel module.
