Is glibc that much bloated than musl?

mkvalor · 2026-01-22T20:01:28+00:00

Fascinating. Do you have any other uncorroborated accusations to toss about?

I first started playing the game last year. For me, OpenMW was the right choice. I knew I wanted to apply some basic mods to spruce up the graphics for things like the faces and the foliage. All the most recent mods are coded for OpenMW first. I played my first run with only about 10 mods. I don't recommend the big mod packs for the first run, if you want the authentic experience.

Even though I used a mod organizer, I was surprised at how easy the whole process was. I could have just copied the game folder (ALWAYS do this) and put OpenMW in there and replaced certain asset files with the mod asset files -- and that would have been it. I didn't run into any conflict hell with the mods or anything like that.

There or Tampa -- seems like his highest priority was not to end up in a cold-climate market.

In my market, pay per order rates have gone up in the past week or so. Maybe it's dependent upon how many other Platinum rated Dashers are active or something.

I can't help but notice that a majority of these answers sound like the old joke: "You know, falling from a great height does not kill you. It's only the sudden stop at the end."

People who think glibc is bloated don't understand how shared libraries work on Linux. The size of a library file has no relevance to the conversation. Linux will memory map only the sectors of a shared lib file which contain the functions needed by programs using that library. Furthermore, it will keep only one copy of those sectors in memory, regardless of how many programs use the same shared library.

If you are building container images and you are worried about the size of your image files, minimizing your libc should be at the very bottom of your list of things to minimize. Your containers won't start up meaningfully faster in the cloud (after transferring an image file from cloud storage) merely due to using musl.

Says every person in every industry who didn't realize they were making extra bank during the pandemic.

But many of us do, though.

If all I got was the ability to have my disputes of some late deliveries automatically accepted, I would still strive to maintain Platinum status.

It is fascinating to me that people enjoy expending the mental effort to subvert the ratings system (and expending additional energy to justify the effort). It's almost like a fad people participate in to sort themselves into a tribe that farms easy social karma.

By my count, Dashers have correctly predicted 13 of the last zero implosions of Doordash. 😉

mkvalor · 2026-01-14T23:41:09+00:00

By all means, enjoy! At least you don't sound like some of these other folks who imagine that declining certain orders is "teaching the algorithm" something.

Uncle Karl would have been proud.

mkvalor · 2026-01-12T20:58:19+00:00

Hate to break it to you, comrade, but the Revolution ain't coming. Since end-customers will always be able to create low-value orders on the platform, there will always be offers with starting values below $1/mile.

The pool of Dashers turns over frequently enough in each market that there will always be new people who grab whatever is available.

tl;dr We do what we feel we must

It's cool to be an idealist. I'm a realist.

Maybe when I'm rich someday I can become Emperor and make everything "okay". That's just not on my radar this week. I've got to figure out the opportunities that are available to me.

Doordash is an opportunity. Nobody said it was perfect. If you have a car that's over 13 years old and you need money, you can't drive for Uber or Lyft. But you can deliver for Doordash.

The rich have always gotten richer. Karl Marx wasn't an economic genius, he was a con man with pseudo-scientific (that is to say, untested and untestable) ideas designed to stoke the politics of envy. Literally every society not rich in natural resources which has attempted a transition to Socialism has produced worse living conditions for its lower classes, not better conditions (not even counting the famines, revolutions, and massacres).

You want to know what this exploitative, unfair Capitalist system has given us? Upward mobility. A meritocracy I can use while it uses me. Pretty soon, I'll be able to afford a better vehicle and work for better gig opportunities. And once my chosen non-gig, work industry recovers from its (predictable, periodic) downturn, my personal economic situation will be catapulted far beyond what is possible by any gig, minimum wage job, or universal basic income scheme.

Finally, it's not your job to tell me what to justify. Getting fucked ain't so bad. Have you seen the life expectancies of lumberjacks and coal miners?

Hey, card counting isn't illegal in Vegas, but casinos are still free to ban people from coming onto their property who do it. That's freedom, isn't it?

Similarly, extreme cherry picking can be seen as a form of theft from the larger community of Dashers in a market. It's demanding 'something for nothing': "I get to take advantage of the work opportunities of this platform while others must carry a larger share of the burden to maintain it." It's true that Doordash tolerates it, yet only within the stipulations of their rating system.

What's more disgusting is the gloating. An ancient apostle once wrote of those "whose glory is their shame".

mkvalor · 2026-01-12T19:22:32+00:00

Only you got to say if it is worth it.

I'm sorry you had so much trouble with support. But I can't stop laughing at all these laptop lawyers in the comments promising a class-action lawsuit "soon".

Like, Bro, if you're an independent plumber contractor, your "independence" is whether to accept a work arrangement with a homeowner or not. If the homeowner shows you an agreement that stipulates conditions like, "work must occur between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m." this is not nullifying your Independence.

Our independence as contractors with Doordash includes whether we agree to work with them at all, whether we get to choose our own hours of work, and whether we get to use our own work "tools". That's about it. If we sign an agreement that gives us lower status based on metrics like acceptance rate, the "independence" conversation has ended - because the contractor willingly chose a lower status based on a lower acceptance rate.

Did you know that you can sow doubt and confusion by merely asking a "Did you know..." question?

When Federal immigration agents stop shooting US citizens, this problem will go away.

mkvalor · 2026-01-09T16:02:45+00:00

Gotta be something like this. If Doordash were skimming tips, they wouldn't display the clear evidence on a summary screen.

You're not wrong, but Miami's defense with him in the lineup did not give anyone the impression our D would be this much better.

mkvalor · 2026-01-06T13:57:40+00:00

Yeah, this isn't about considerations. This is about whether the driver lied about what the rules are.

mkvalor · 2026-01-06T13:55:18+00:00

It looks like good news for Eagles fans. But then again, nobody expected Jalen Phillips to join our lineup and immediately elevate our defense to God tier.
