@neogoose_btw ecores are a f. disaster for performance code, no ones sorted this out yet, we've barely even tried

[James Tucker @raggi]

@thdxr Elixir should have called theirs fold and the world would be mostly rational

[James Tucker @raggi]

systemd-networkd remains unserious software, despite years of reports and pleas to the maintainers, they still react to a slow kernel interface by permanently de-configuring network interfaces taking nodes offline.

[James Tucker @raggi]

@WomanCorn because it uses windows APIs rather than going through a libc that’s emulating unix

[James Tucker @raggi]

@ChipHaze @10_X_eng well shieet great excuse for more bbq!

working outside in medium density rural America: the constant distant whinge of garden blowers

[James Tucker @raggi]

@unclebobmartin @amvehas Sounds like a classic issue of too much confidence in unit tests and not enough usage testing. Nothing new there!

[James Tucker @raggi]

@10_X_eng @ghnynex @plankers What approximate kernel version was this? Just looking for a vintage. I have heard the recovery code is still a bit rough, but very few stable runtime issues in recent years.

@valigo @Jack70593213 Linux has no normalized mount topology, which is a doubled edged issue, for one thing it avoids having ambient/implicit multiple addressing. On the other hand there is no canonical addressing and figuring out what kind of mess you’re in under a mount / link topology can be worse

[James Tucker @raggi]

@valigo @Jack70593213 that’s a device path not a mount path - two different things

[James Tucker @raggi]

@valigo @xadh UNC paths aren’t limited to a disk or even a single machine. They chose this addressing scheme because it covers much broader, it’s essentially an URL but without including a protocol or being tied to dns.

@neogoose_btw @NyxXeres No updates shipped in any windows since this reply, the bug from 2023 still burns git and ssh users on windows constantly.

[Steve Lee @Steve_MSFT]

@raggi @shanselman We do update OpenSSH for new versions of Windows, but servicing via WU has a high bar and high cost.

[James Tucker @raggi]

@neogoose_btw @NyxXeres I chased shanselman and the vp over the team. vp told me a sad story about how the team is small and it’s too hard to get updates to windows builds validated.

it’s too hard for Microsoft to own this kind of software, period.

They can’t do it. It’s not rhetoric. They agree.

[James Tucker @raggi]

@jaikhuranna `git log --topo-order --first-parent` gives you the history view you want

[James Tucker @raggi]

@NyxXeres @neogoose_btw They shipped openssh in windows. It has a classic ssh porting bug where it doesn’t drain channels properly on connection shutdown. This causes about 50% of git clones to fail on windows. They’ve had a fix in their source tree for 3 years. They’ve failed to ship the fix.

[James Tucker @raggi]

Software distribution to windows is a hellscape and it barely helps

[Mick Douglas 🇺🇦🌻 @bettersafetynet]

Hey are there any EV code signing peeps that can help me out?

We're signing a exe for a security tool we're getting ready to push hard.

BUT!! Smartscreen still blocks the run!

What gives?

I'm at a loss. TIA.

[James Tucker @raggi]

@ClassicGamerTWR @Draren_Thiralas ironically self declared orthogonal argument

[James Tucker @raggi]

@sqs Tokens are cheap.

It’s my time that’s valuable.

That’s why I want to use them for the right things.

A lot of the industry seems to have this upside down.

[James Tucker @raggi]

@adamac @thsottiaux Chat -> C
Codex -> C

what could possibly go wrong?

[James Tucker @raggi]

@Anaya_sharma876 the other 8gb went away? sounds like a bug if it’s deleting the original file by default!
