15 to life. doesn’t that mean he never gets out unless a parole board says so?

that's exactly what it means

he was sentenced to life in prison, with a minimum time served of 15 years. hence him getting parole board hearings already -- it's preparation for potentially letting him out in a couple years

it's hans reiser, so, thankfully, he will never persuade a parole board

not quite, he had a defense attorney, but he overrode his attorney and insisted on taking the stand to speak in his own defense


if i remember right he actually had a pretty good chance at getting away with it, the case leaned very hard on circumstantial evidence and his attorney had done a decent job of planting enough doubt in the jury's mind as to whether or not it was him.

then he took the stand and, between his acerbic personality and the expertise of a prosecutor in interrogation, thoroughly convinced the jury that he was a guilty rear end in a top hat

why are you ever restarting linux, except for kernel updates I guess. just suspend the vm if you have to restart the host os.

I rebuilt the NetBSD kernel yesterday

trying to see if I can fix the NFS bug that affects the assembler in SunOS 4 on Sun-3

I thought I’d done it but not quite yet, there must be more 32-bit integers that needs to be clamped to INT_MAX

One thing I like about MacOS is if you long hold a key alternative keys pop up. Gnome doesn't do this and I can't find a way to enable this feature if it exists.

yeah but those are a traditional unix thing so there’s no chance in hell gnome will ever enable them by default, and they’ll probably go the way of xmodmap next time the keyboard handling framework gets rewritten from scratch

kde and all qt apps naturally support the compose key ootb, and kde makes it easy to map it to an existing key on a non-unix keyboard

no it isn't. or i can't find it, at least. there's a setting for the level 3 modifier but that's not compose.

compose is indeed settable in gnome-tweaks, aka the useful app for changing gnome settings. but how official is that? distros don't tend to include it when you ask them to install gnome. i have absolutely no idea whether gnome-tweaks is actually supported or not, or whether what's in there today will still be there in six months.

i still use gnome, and it's generally fine with a few extensions to disable the dumber defaults, and it's the path of least resistance for lotd. but forgive me if i am a little skeptical about the gnome project's commitment to keeping old ideas alive.
