> I think I've only really seen this as a Honda Element

What Honda element had 4wd? As far as I'm aware they were all (a pretty bad) AWD system.

As pretty much anyone who offroads knows, AWD vehicles absolutely tear up the trails vs a proper 4wd with lockers, since AWD relies on detecting tirespin (ie, destroying trail) to determine when it needs to activate.

Odd take, golang was designed by Google for their needs. It has very little uptake amongst hobbyist devs and is nearly entirely used by professional devs. In my experience hobbyist devs focus primarily on javascript/python.

I've used both extensively and I find eBPF+iptables (and sometimes nft) significantly more flexible and easier to use in the real world (not just simple examples) than PF. shrug

As someone who spends a lot of time working with DPDK, the idea that anyone would consider userspace "slow" and kernel of all things "fast" is amusing to me.

Most everyone nowadays seems to try to avoid kernel as much as possible, since it's vastly slower than a userspace forwarding plane (although eBPF/XDP will likely change this).

Agree to disagree.

Maybe because I've worked in embedded Linux for so long (including on inits of various forms), but that description clearly articulates exactly what systemd is and does and I appreciate the direct, crystal clear technical language rather than some long form essay written assuming a clueless reader with 0 technical background.

I get the feeling you are getting your information from highly political sources rather than getting out from behind the screen and talking to real live people.

Where I live, there is no vaccine mandate for hospital staff due to staffing concerns. Talking with actual local physicians, nurses and doctors are quitting in droves after seeing a huge amount of preventable death in the past few months, by patients who deny the reality of the disease they have, and whos families harass hospital staff about treatments that don't work (hcq/ivermectin/whatever the latest magic pill is now).

I actually am against vaccine mandates and don't think anyone who doesn't want the vaccine should be forced to take it. That said, if you don't take it, I don't want you in the hospital if you end up getting covid. Take hcq/ivermectin/whatever joe rogan is saying now rather than occupy a hospital bed, don't clog up the hospital due to your mistake.

I don't have to trust public health agencies. I can go look up the numbers in my local hospital or ask family members who work there. >90% of ICU cases and deaths are unvaccinated. Hand wavy arguments about "the data is bad!" from a non-peer reviewed paper with 0 citations does not convince me that you're arguing in good faith.

> Failed as in the vaccines, that were being advertised as being 95% effective with no talk of any boosters only 6 months ago, no longer provide any protection at all.

It's disappointing to see complete lies like this on HN. Vaccines have been, and remain, incredibly effective in preventing hospitalization/death, even without a booster (although everyone should also get their booster).

What other data points? Can you provide peer reviewed high quality data to support your claims? Just because you want a conspiracy theory to be true does not make it so.

If you had two uncles who died of alcohol related causes, they were drinking a lot more than 2 drinks a day.
