I am not sure why this repository last updated in November 2011 is suddenly on the front page?

Anyway, a better known implementation (in Bash) is probably https://github.com/holman/spark, which was developed by Zach Holman, one of the first GitHub hires.

And just now:

Investigating - We are investigating reports of degraded performance for Pull Requests Feb 09, 2026 - 16:19 UTC

They added the following entry:

Investigating - We are investigating reports of impacted performance for some GitHub services. Feb 09, 2026 - 15:54 UTC

But I saw it appear just a few minutes ago, it wasn't there at 16:10 UTC.

The page for this graph links to the source of the data, which is at: https://injuryfacts.nsc.org/all-injuries/deaths-by-demograph...

As I suspected, poisoning most likely includes drug overdose. They have this comment about the 2023 data:

> #1: Poisoning: 100,304 deaths

> Largely due to the opioid epidemic affecting millions of people in the United States

You can see more recent data than 2004 in their interactive charts. It is interesting to see that deaths from road accidents has much reduced for teenagers and young adults, compared to the rest of the population.

It has been around for at least 15 years! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1728592

Looks like it. The aurora title comes from the Git repository they are viewing: https://github.com/ublue-os/aurora

What a nice surprise to see this on the HN front page! I was involved with DSLinux for several years. I maintained nightly-ish builds that I hosted on my website. I don't think I ever contributed any code, as my C and system programming skills were still rudimentary at the time, but I did a fair amount of testing and helping people in the community.

I sold my Nintendo DS since then, but I still have somewhere the Supercard that I would use to store and boot Linux, which looks like this: https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/File:SuperCard_CF_V2.jpg

Most of credit for the amazing work that made this possible goes to a few individuals, in particular Malcolm Parsons (pepsiman), Stefan Sperling (who later became an OpenBSD developer), and Amadeus: http://dslinux.org/wiki/ContactingDevelopers.html

I assume idk means I don’t know. As in, get me to this website for which I don’t know the domain name.

There are utilities to help with this problem: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2021/06/04/keyboardcleanto...

I don't think your last statement is correct. According to the linked page, the James H. Miller Jr. plant produces around 19 million metric tons of CO2 per year, while passenger cars produce around 760 million metric tons per year: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1235091/us-passenger-car...

About us: The Nimbus team is a pioneer in infrastructure cloud computing having developed what is now recognized as the first open source Infrastructure-as-a-Service implementation.

About the job:

The job involves participation in two Nimbus projects. First, it will involve contributing to building and operating the Chameleon experimental infrastructure for cloud computing (www.chameleoncloud.org). Specific tasks might involve: working with OpenStack to provide additional features or troubleshoot problems, help operate the testbed working closely with our system administrators, and respond to user requests.

The second project involves participating in development of infrastructure that combines cloud computing and HPC capabilities for resource management and container optimization. Specific tasks will involve enhancing or developing infrastructure-as-a-service system (e.g., Openstack), exploring or orchestrating their interaction with HPC tools (such as e.g., batch schedulers), and performance evaluation.

There was once a similar project also called Cider, created by Corey Donohoe (atmos) from GitHub. It was renamed to cinderella because of trademark infringement, so you might want to check that out: https://github.com/atmos/cider

Yes it does. "yumdownloader --source package_name" will download the source RPM. yumdownloader is part of the yum-utils package.

You can go to https://git.centos.org which is hosting all the sources used to build the system. Of course for RPM packages that is only metadata, not the actual upstream software source.

The 16,000 alive can apply for pardon, but it's most likely not automatic, I guess their case must be reviewed.

The government didn't want to allow pardon to the dead because they said that in some cases they couldn't know that these homosexual acts were consensual and not under age. The Lord presenting the bill is advocating for rehabilitation of the dead if there is enough evidence available, and he hopes the Turing bill (which will pardon only Alan Turing) is a first step towards allowing pardon for the 59,000 convicted who are now dead.

It's definitively not as simple as your example. Both Amazon and Google have staff and infrastructure in UK and other European countries. Yet they channel all their profit to lower tax countries (Luxembourg for Amazon and Ireland for Google).

In the case of Amazon, when some sales staff is in the UK (evidence coming from whistleblowers, for instance http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2013/may/16/amazon-whis...), when warehouses are in the UK, and Luxembourg seems to be used only for signing the official contract, how is that not tax avoidance?

All other Amazon sites (.co.uk, .fr, .de, etc.) are up.

OpenBSD's malloc implementation does: "On a call to free, memory is released and unmapped from the process address space using munmap."

Micro instances (t1.micro) are not part of the group of first-generation standard instances (m1.*).

No matter how small or how big a customer you are, it is a price decrease. The cost of these first-generation standard on-demand instances has been reduced by 18.75%.

Unless it changed recently, Marco Arment, the creator of Instapaper, is an advisor to Arc90, the company behind Readability (http://www.marco.org/2011/02/01/readabilitys-new-service)

I have to agree.

Having been using Growl for years, I mechanically went to buy it on the Mac App Store when 1.3 was released. To make sure the upgrade was clean, I first uninstalled the 1.2.2 version I had on my system… only to realized I could not install the new version, since I am still running Snow Leopard.

I did not reinstall Growl, and I am very happy with my system as it is. I had already disabled some notifications before, such as Adium messages showing up on my screen, but I still had some, like the name of the new song playing. All this noise is now removed and it is great.

I can see how Growl can have its uses though. Sometimes, you need to wait for a long process to finish in order to perform the next action (e.g. wait for a long download, deployment, or software build). Or for alerts of a monitoring system, where you would really like to be interrupted. I may reinstall it when I have such use cases, but enabling only the minimum number of notifications.

From the CVS log 7 months ago:

Work in progress to replace /etc/security, not yet linked to the build.

Main design goals: 1. Safely handle untrusted file names and file content. 2. Output compatibility with current security(8) to please people parsing the output with scripts (except when improving functionality right away saves considerable implementation effort). Substantial functional enhancements are for later.

Prodding to do this in Perl by deraadt@. Using some feedback from espie@.

You must be referring to the European Union rather than the European continent. As of 2011, EU is now more than 500 million people.

The usage of CVS as the OpenBSD version control system comes up once in a while on the mailing lists (usually brought up by trolls or people new to the community).

Many OpenBSD developers are used to CVS and don't see a strong reason to change to another system. However, they are aware of the deficiencies of CVS, and OpenCVS is supposed to fix some of them. For instance, atomic commits was on the roadmap (but I don't think it is implemented yet). You can also regularly see commit messages complaining about problems with CVS.

I know some OpenBSD developers use Git locally to track their patches before committing them to the official repository.

Seems like a very good service!

One comment though: there are very few details on radishapp.com explaining how Radish works. The blog post describes a bit more: there is a daemon running besides Redis that sends statistics to Radish.

A little 'About' page on radishapp.com, with the most important information from the blog post, plus a list of supported platforms (does the daemon run only on Linux, or on all platforms where Redis runs?), would be very nice.
