  • I don’t really like the “as intended” take because it fails Hanlon’s Razor. Even Karl Marx understood that Capitalism is doomed to a crisis and revolution cycle, not because that’s what anyone wants, but because it is a law of nature.

    The same is true of first-past-the-post voting.

    The resolve to tear it down is still plausible though. I don’t know whether it is possible to escape capitalism without a revolution. The alternative is a perfect storm of progressive legislation that seems unlikely to occur in my lifetime.













  • Yup. It even extends to superuser.com.

    I recently posted about an obvious bug in the Windows 10 DHCP client, showing with Wireshark captures that it is not resilient to hardware clock changes, i.e., you easily lose your IP address for hours.

    Most of the responses either said, “you should not be dual booting Linux” or “there is no DHCP client that handles this case. You cannot expect Windows to handle it.”

    So I replied with a link to a similar bug report for RHEL, which has been fixed.

    It’s been a month since I posted this bug to the Windows Feedback Hub and there is no response. I doubt it will ever be fixed.
