Yeah, I run i3
and headless servers, so it’s poweroff
or reboot
for me. Always works as advertised.

Except on the Linux systems I’ve used, when I ask it to shut down, it shuts down no matter what. Windows and macOS let programs stop the shutdown process indefinitely (when shutdown/reboot are invoked the usual way).
I think that’s what the meme is trying to get at.
Never said that at all. I’ve had some fantastic food in England.
Oh please. The US has many problems, and there are food deserts to be sure — but go to a first class US city and you’ll find great food.

Atomicity (something happens in its entirety or not at all), consistency (database is always in a valid state — if the database has constraints, they will always be honored), isolation (transactions don’t step on each other), durability (complete transaction is complete even if there’s a power failure).
Not a database expert, my parenthetical explanations may need work.

Yabai+sketchybar make tiling+virtual desktops…at least usable on mac.
Of course, I’d take i3 any day of the week.

Also, it was a single dev, which makes SCM significantly simpler!
California doesn’t allow “use it or lose it” vacation policies. Vacation rolls over up to a reasonable amount, which apparently isn’t super well defined, but my employers have generally set a limit of 2x annual.
No doubt related to Johnson noise.
Coming from Debian, it was…not expected. I understand how and why it happened, but the user experience was surprising.
Debian keeps the previous kernel around, which makes perfect sense to me — in the event that a kernel update borks your system you can just load the previous one. This would probably only happen due to out of tree modules (looking at you, Nvidia…).

Linux distros can still do…questionable things. In grad school I tried Arch for a bit, and I once was late to a video call because I had updated my kernel but did not reboot. Arch decided that because there was a new kernel installed, I didn’t need the modules for the old — but currently running! — kernel, so it removed them. So when I plugged in a webcam, the webcam module was nowhere to be found.
But yeah…somehow, still not as bad as Windows updates.
Yeah, but do they like Huey Lewis and the News?
Hey Paulina!
Our Internet went out for a few hours today, so naturally my smart switches, lights, cameras, motion sensors, door sensors, and power monitoring… continued to work as of nothing was wrong.
Home Assistant is great, and using local-only devices is awesome. If my smart home stops working it’s my own fault, not some 3rd party.
OTOH, if you can afford basic necessities, hobbies are just a rounding error on top of them.

Atmosphere is (roughly) 1e3 Torr, good UHV can be around 1e-10, so that’s 13 orders of magnitude, which is (roughly) the same difference that you calculated.

poweroff
andreboot
work as advertised for me, but I’m running headless homelab servers and a laptop withi3
. Maybe DEs/GUI shutdown is more subtle?
