What are the differences between systemd and non-systemd Linux distros?
...the opposition to systemd. When people go to Mac they accept what it is (mostly). That's a fundamentally different culture to Linux (or BSD for that matter). > For an init system to gain sufficient momentum, it must be the default, with no easy way to avoid it. That's an argument for authoritarianism, which seems to me to be anathema to the overriding culture of Linux. Can you see why many people might dislike the personalities involved with systemd, yet, when such an argument is used in favour of systemd? :-) >> I should add that the speaker also massively over-simplifies opposition &gt...

If you think that?s irrelevant, count the number of MacBooks at the next FreeBSD conference you attend. For an init system to gain sufficient momentum, it must be the default, with no easy way to

Working code argues best. Benno Rice is right: Lennart Poettering gets stuff done. In the BSD world, they call the opposite tendency bikeshedding. You can find a thousand people willing to argue about why something shouldn?t be done, or why it shouldn?t be done *that* way...

Can't load e1071
After upgrading to 1.7.0 under debian linux, I can't get e1071 working properly. The first problem I had was that g++-3.0 was the standard compiler but wasn't installed, so I installed it. e1071 then installed correctly, but I get the following: aperrin at perrin:~/afshome/papers/authoritarian/R$ R R : Copyright 2003, The R Development Core Team Version 1.7.0 (2003-04-16) R is free

Smoothed lines over barplots
Greetings. I'd like to generate a graph that displays two distributions as side-by-side bar graphs, then plots a smoothed line of the distribution on top. The idea is to be able to visually compare the distributions. I've done the following, but the axes don't line up. Any suggestions? barplot(table(hcd.df$datecat, hcd.df$auth.sum), beside=TRUE,

Nice! This is so succinct and beautiful! It doesn't need an overseeing foundation to take opaque decisions, and focus on what's really important: the code. I

does rails enforce referential integrity???
Hi, Is rails supposed to support referential integrity? That is rails either support to be able to ensure that when a new contact is created this can only happen if a valid suberb is associated with it, and which mechanisms of the below are supposed to do this? (a) using DB foreign key constraints information as a basis? (b) using the "has_one" line in the model file to enfore? If
