These concerns are exactly why I don't install or recommend Mint to others. Terrifying that they haven't fixed it after all those years. It seems more of an attitude rather than technical issue.

Does it have to be Debian? I'm looking forward to the inevitable "non-free" Guix fork that my grandmother can use. That will surely be the year of the Linux desktop.
Why would you want to use Perl 6? Some answers
I'm not quite sure how paragraph 2 follows from your first paragraph?

coild you describe your point more clearly?
I don't think I've ever used Mint, or if I did it was brief. I've used Netrunner which was really nice, but ultimately fell in love with openSUSE. I may someday give Mint a try though. This is interesting news but the article is confusing to me at first glance as to what Mint is actually doing. Cinnamon isn't really for me though. I loved Gnome 2 because it was highly customizable but now that it's gone my only alternative is KDE or XFCE but XFCE feels like it's missing something everytime I use it.
Sorry, I was unclear. As a sibling pointed out, the question at hand is private employee stock option grants, which act as a lottery ticket because they are usually worth nothing but sometimes worth a very large amount if the company goes public or gets bought.

You are of course correct that stock options on the public market are most often used to hedge and thus they do act like insurance. It seems fairly certain that this is not what OP had in mind, though.

I'd recommend you take a look. It's certainly got some of the features of Ruby that had to be bolted on to Perl 5 (objects, for example), but it's still recognizably Perl, and it has a number of features built-in nicely that feel bolted-on or just downright ornery in Ruby (Unicode, concurrency, to mention two big ones). OOP in Perl 6 is beyond anything I've used anywhere else, except maybe Moose on Perl 5 (which is bolted-on).

I think the most accurate thing to say is that there has been a lot of cross-pollination between Perl and Ruby, it goes both ways, and it has been going on for the entire life of Ruby and Perl 6. But, Ruby is Ruby and Perl 6 is recognizably a Perl variant.

Michelle Vandy uses an Apple Trackpan on a tripod to control her MacBook. It's quite impressive to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAokWwilHGk

"The last few years my arms have largely shaped my work setup. I used to struggle with severe pains and cramps in my lower arms and couldn't design unless I had my special equipment. Basically I assembled a device from a Manfrotto Table Top Tripod Kit 209, 492 Long, tripod adapter plate and an Apple Magic Trackpad and placed it in front of my 15 inch MacBook Pro. I then used the tip of my nose to draw and maneuver the mouse, while my arms were resting in front of me. Yes, it was pretty frustrating at times and yes, it looked ridiculous and yes, it took a long time to increase my precision and speed, but somehow I ended up becoming extremely efficient!"

I've never used PagodaBox but it looks like a nice PaaS.

Convox has the same goal of a PaaS: to give you and your team an easy way to focus on your code and never worry about your infrastructure.

One big difference with Convox is that we accomplish this with single-tenant AWS things. You and your team's deployment target is an isolated VPC, ECS (EC2 container service), and ELB (load balancers).

If you're asking for a cost comparison, we're building Convox to be extremely cost competitive by unlocking AWS resource costs for everyone.

Its easiest to compare the cost of memory across platforms, though not always apples to apples...

The base Convox recommendation is 3 t2.smalls which is 6 GB of memory which costs about $100 / month. If your app can be sliced up into 512 MB processes, you can easily run 10 processes, which could be 2 to 5 medium traffic PHP apps on the cluster.

I'm finding PagodaBox pricing calculator a bit confusing but 6 512 MB processes, so 3 GB of memory, is $189.

Plus I can't remember cos it was a conversation we had 5 years ago. We talked over MVC and open source (we both had open source projects) PHP, Perl, C# and Python weighing up the best option to write all the code in. Ended up using Python. It used a multi threaded library and crashed every so often with all sorts of weird errors. Never got to the bottom of it.
> HCL is fine, but Terraform's interpolation syntax has a long way to go

Oh, HCL is fine, you say so authoritatively? Well then do me a solid and show me an if statement, show me a for loop. Because you're not building nontrivial, reusable infrastructural modules without logic. I know. I've tried. I've committed, between different projects and clients, somewhere around ten thousand lines of Terraform and probably half are copy-paste garbage because HCL is so crippled a tool.

It hurts me to say this at a deep and visceral level: Terraform's interpolation syntax makes freaking Ansible and its "no, really, it's totally cool, string templates for logic are awesome" look good.

> The right approach to any problems with Terraform is not to spread FUD about it like below, but to contribute code fixes.

Spread FUD? Oh, no no no, you can take your assertions of FUD and insert them somewhere uncomfortable, thank you very much. I wrote Terraframe[1] specifically to contribute back to the Terraform community, to make it better, and stopped (to create a different project) because I was stymied. By no documentation, by HCL <-> JSON not actually working, and by no interest from the developers in any sort of dialogue about actually fulfilling the promises they themselves assert for their software. Between this and bugs that a trivial testing framework should catch (Why are you validating AWS resource names differently between point releases? Why are you changing that validation to be wrong? Why are you breaking my existing states when you've done this? Why did your tests not catch this before you pushed this out to your entire userbase?) I cannot take the project seriously as a tool for being used in infrastructure I care about. Because I don't trust them to take Terraform seriously, either.

> Full disclosure: I'm building a much, much better provisioner for multi-provider cloud infrastructure. Neither of the projects I recommend are mine; mine's not done yet.

One of the convenient things about software that doesn't exist is that it doesn't have any bugs.

Let your software speak for itself when it exists; until then, this seems an undeserved critique of software, and a team, that is solving problems every day.

Hmm. No steering...
I find it charming. It doesn't need to be the way that particular special variable is done, but twigils are a thing in Perl 6, and I think this is a reasonable use of them.

You still have to check the docs for the dunder variables in Python. Having the same special character convention (like __var__) doesn't magically make me aware of what they all are and what they all mean. And, I've done enough Python programming to know it's a crapshoot to google for them (just as it's a crapshoot to google for sigils and twigils in Perl). You just have to know where to look for the right docs or know who to ask for where to look for the right docs (perldoc perlvar, in the case of Perl...I assume there's something similar for Perl 6, and I don't remember what it is for Python).

> All the Ubuntu's have terminal GUI problems. They just keep tinkering and changing things.

Xubuntu doesn't. 4.12 in 15.04/15.10 was much the same as 4.10 in 14.04 (other than bug fixes and some small tweaks to fix stuff they where near identical).

The XFCE folks reached rough parity with Gnome 2 in terms of desktop usability then just focussed on small increment improvements and bug fixes and that has been a major win imo as I can use a desktop that supports modern linux distro's, is fast on everything and rarely surprises me.

"The PKK is recognized as a terror organization by the European Union, the United States and Turkey."

- And yet the kurds in the middle of Europe can support the PKK.

"nearly 15,000 Kurds peacefully marched through Dusseldorf on Saturday to condemn ongoing Turkish military operations in Kurdish towns."

- "Kurdish towns" ? Those are towns in Turkey that have people of Turkey living in it. It does not matter what are people's ethnicity who lives there, Turkish, Kurdish, Armenian or anything else. You are pouring gasoline into fire by saying "Kurdish towns". Like no armenian or turkish person can live there?

"The PKK has traditionally operated in rural areas and the mountains, but following the breakdown of a two-year ceasefire and peace talks in July the group's urban youth wing, the YDG-H, over which it has questionable control, declared "autonomous administration" in several towns."

- And what Terrorist group supporters expect out of this? Sit in a Cafe in Berlin and discuss the weather I guess.

Thanks! I've been using YubNub[0] for a long time, but decided to stop for privacy reasons: all my searches were proxied through it, and it doesn't even use HTTPS.

Now I'm using DDG's !bang syntax, but there's no way to add new entries yourself.

I have to say that YubNub's functionality was quite comprehensive, and it seems definitely easier than writing new elivs for Surfraw. I'll give it a try nevertheless.

We are working to normalize the AWS scenario for all apps.

Every Convox cluster is an autoscale group managed cluster of ECS instances.

Every Convox app gets its own Kinesis stream for logs, ELB for load balancing, and S3 buckets for settings, build artifacts and encrypted environment. And the app processes are run via ECS.

So I'm confident we could handle the 7 apps in a single cluster, scale the cluster instance size and count, scale any individual app process type, and handle any individual app load balancing or log throughput.

You can provision some services like RDS with our tooling which make it really easy to link to apps. You can also bring your own services like elasticsearch or pre-existing RDS and set them in an app's environment to use it.

There are a couple monitoring tools built in.

We automatically monitor AWS events like ECS capacity problems and send Slack notifications.

You can also use our tooling to forward all your logs to Papertrail and configure your searching and alerting there.

More CloudWatch Logs and Metrics work is coming in the near future.

I'm really excited about Perl6, it is so jam packed with interesting novel features, that it serves as an amazing testbed for stretching the limits of what programming languages are capable of. I always feel that Ruby was a language that came out of Perl; a subset of it's features, carefully selected and implemented with the knowledge of what did not go too well with Perl. This might just happen again with Perl 6, judging from the exotic features it brings together.

Thanks Larry and co! So this Christmas it did happen :)

The Kurdish-Turkish dynamic is interesting given that the biggest supporter of Kurdish independence in Iraq is Turkey. Not only politically, but by enabling things like financial independence through the Kirkuk-Ceyhan oil pipeline for the KRG to transport and sell oil outside of Iraq's SOMO.

I understand that Turkish Kurds lean towards the HDP/PKK, which is independent from the KDP/Peshmerga that the Turkish government supports in Iraq, but it's still interesting to try to figure out what Turkey's end goal is after all of this.

Terraform is awesome if you want an OSS project to manage multiple cloud vendors.

But I think that infrastructure change management is a really hard problem and the state of the art solution is how AWS runs CloudFormation as a managed service.

Once it's set up properly, it's amazing watching what CloudFormation can do. It can execute updating 20 instances to roll out a new AMI, and then roll the whole operation back on demand or if a failure happens. All with no application downtime in the cluster!
