It can’t be said often enough: fuck Axel Springer.

As @myotheraccount mentioned, this is 330km/h, but yes, they still need drivers. On the high speed lines, the train can do quite a bit on its own, but you still need a driver to take care of the stops at stations, for non-high speed sections which generally don’t have the automation infrastructure, and for the case the something doesn’t work or go as intended.

There’s not much of a need to “keep an eye on the machines”, they’re pretty sturdy, made to go at that speed and have gone through a number of tests to ensure everything works the way it should. Unless we’re doing a test run, but that’s another story.

This is pretty old, from the time he was arrested:

Reminds me of an ad from over a decade ago. (For those who speak German: youtube, sorry, I want able to get an invidious Link working )

A woman is sitting at a bar, and a man in a suit comes up and sits right next to her, taps his car keys on the table, and then lays them on the table and moves them towards her.

“400 horsepower, 12 cylinders, top speed 296…” He nods proudly. “Tomorrow evening 7 o’clock?”

She grabs a large key on her keychain and shows it to him: “10,877 horsepower, top speed 330, tomorrow morning, 8:43…” She puts the key on the table and pushes it next to his key. “…track 7”.

The ad was from the German railroad attempting to recruit drivers.

Sind leider nicht die ersten. VIA in Kanada hat es schon vor ca. Einem Jahr eingeführt.

Liebe DB, wehe ihr kopiert das.

It’s an announcement to stay as far away as possible from whoever said that. Might even call it negging.

I mean, we could say the same thing about Kent - when he’s getting pissy, it’s about ensuring the filesystem is bulletproof and no one loses data.

Thing is, we’re not talking about getting pissy. We’re talking about getting downright insulting and borderline abusive. Linus got suspended from his own goddamn Kernel for his behavior. Let that sink in for a moment.

And I honestly believe that’s where part of the problem comes from. Kent looks up to Linus in a way, and sees himself as entitled to mimicking Linus’s bad behavior, which turns into a clusterfuck. Linux is still a good kernel despite Linus’s behavior, and bcachefs seems to be pretty good from a technical standpoint despite Kent’s behavior (even the kernel maintainers Kent pissed off admit it). They both shouldn’t be behaving that way, period. But both are very talented from a technical standpoint, which makes policing their behavior that much harder.

Ideally, yes, someone else would take over communication with Linus, but my hope isn’t particularly high at the moment. I wish Kent would calm down (further) and play by the rules more (even though he’s far from the only one who has broken those rules), and I wish Linus would learn to take it as much as he dishes it out.

And that makes it such a shame: bcachefs would be great to have in the kernel from a technical standpoint. It’s the personal conflicts that are really messing things up at the moment.

I’m not saying it shouldn’t be safer. I would much rather see Amtrak there, in large part because of their safety record. What I’m saying is that Bright line is still safer than cars. So yes, ensure Bright line increases its safety standards, but it’s not a reason to argue against expansion of the Brightline network (unless, for instance, you want to argue for Amtrak expansion instead - then I would be on board), as it still is shifting people from a more dangerous to a safer mode of transit, even if there is plenty of room for improvement in that safer mode of transit.

The point of these next gen file systems aren’t raw performance, they are reliability, performance for specific cases, and reduced data usage. For example:

• Copy on Write means it’s very performant to create snapshots

• incremental backups are much quicker

• checksumming means the filesystem directly and reliably detects data corruption

• built-in support for raid means a simplified setup and integration of scrubbing features into the filesystem, which can then take advantage of checksumming etc.

• deduplication can automatically recognize duplicated data and as such reduce data use

These are things that tend to reduce performance, not increase it. Which is why, when performance on these filesystems stays the same or even increases, that’s a major accomplishment.

It’s not quite as one sided as you put it, either. The most recent last minute feature was pushed for rc3, and wasn’t big filled. It was also a feature that enhanced stability, which is the reason Kent submitted it there. I’m not saying he’s right, but it’s important context here. And he’s far from the only one who has done this. Someone recently added new hardware support in rc7.

Also, he has improved somewhat. Arguably not as much as he should, but things aren’t as bad as they originally were.

And as to the attitude - he’s in good company, honestly. Especially in regard to Linus, them judging Kent is like a group of lepers judging a beauty contest. That’s the point this article makes very well.

None of this excuses his behaviour, but it is important to put it into context.

Ob Döner oder Drehspieß hat nur mit dem Fleischanteil zu tun. Hähnchendöner darf es nach wie vor geben. Also zumindest theoretisch machen sie da nichts falsch solange der Fleischanteil hoch genug ist.

Do you even know how many people are killed by cars each year? This is nothing compared to that. Most cases cited here are because people acted completely recklessly. The same can’t be said about many car accidents.

Ich möchte nicht wissen, wer ihn ersetzt. Bei dem aktuellen Druck von der Politik kann das nicht gut werden. Ich befürchte schon Mehdorn 2.0

Yup.

Legal experts agree, a sale to The Onion is more likely now that Infowars’ fate has shifted to Texas state court.

I always love the irony when people worry that others are being dictated on how to dress so they then themselves dictate to people how they can dress.

Yup, I saw that one as well after I left this comment. It showed really well not only that this is the largest number of journalists killed in such a conflict, but by really, really far. And did it in a way that shocked even me.

You don’t have to apologize for “therapy speak” - this is off my chest, after all. And it seems, it needed to get out, you needed to tell someone, you wanted to be heard. And that is completely legitimate. In fact, it’s a step in the right direction - you’ve come from bottling it up to telling someone - even if it’s “just” on the internet. It’s a important step forward.

What you’re feeling is entirely justified. What happened to you is unacceptable, and high blood pressure or whatever else is no excuse. Most importantly, it’s not your fault. You had a right to a proper childhood.

I don’t know how the healthcare situation is where you live, but I would recommend looking into therapy. It’s not an overnight cure, give it plenty of time - I mean, years. It will be worth it.

Also, I don’t know if you still live with your mother - if you do, I would be sure to move out. Find an apprenticeship you like, find an interesting job, an interesting field of study, something that gets you amount like minded people. Maybe there are some programming related jobs around? If you already have a history on whichever git platform, that can look great on a resume.

Sending you a hug from the other side of the internet. It’s going to be OK.

P.S. Many adults don’t really feel much like adults, either. You’re in good company.

I watched that segment. I remember them saying very clearly that Israel didn’t allow them to film it. So you know what they did? They showed footage from the ground, and didn’t mince words as to how horrific things were. They showed the landscape, where barely anything is standing. They showed people digging through the ground looking for spilled kernels. There was absolutely no way you could watch that report and not understand the insanity of what is going on there.

In fact, anyone who follows CBC’s news coverage has no reason to not understand the depths of the horrors happening in Gaza, or in Palestine in general. They don’t shove it into the corner. They place it center stage. Again, and again, and again. As if to say, “don’t forget what is happening here”.

The CBC definitely has its faults, but this article is blowing things way, way out of proportion.
