Oddly enough, the power user is often not seeking a lot of power from their computer. I'm quite happy with a reasonably large display and full size keyboard, plugged into a cheap 10" laptop that I can walk away with.

I think there will always be a divide between "create" and "consume" uses of computers, of any display size. For me, the dividing line is that I need a keyboard to create stuff. As a secondary issue, I have to be able to position the display to avoid eyestrain and neck fatigue, limiting my ability to use a laptop for real work. That could just be a concession to old age. But my creative apps -- code editors, compilers, and Jupyter, require very little real computing power.
Yes. So last time I was looking for a job, I became good at reciting algorithms, looking like a "team player", whatever the fuck they wanted. I didn't like it, I felt some degree of trepidation over my interviews, but I didn't have crippling anxiety or anything.

Jumping through arbitrary hoops is completely normal for most professions. The main issue here is being so anxious that one finds it impossible to work up the courage to interview in the first place.

That is very true. My colleagues had a hard time explaining how one can draw in 3D on a 2D medium, like a board. It was there that I figured sighted people see things differently when it's away from them. It's different than how I hear the sound. At least, it hasn't been researched as widely as there has been research done on sight.
> You need to allocate at least 30 minutes per day (1 hour is better) just talking (averaged over the week) and not micromanaging.

What do you talk about for an hour a day, every day, that is so important that it justifies allocating 16% of all development hours to communication? I don't see how this much communication could ever be a net win (or even come close to breaking even).

Does he like audiobooks? Audible integration is one of my main loves about the Echo -- I own 3 of them now. There are some minor tweaks which the app could use ("end-of-chapter sleep" being the main one, and maybe a go-back-5m on top of go-back-30s, and an auditory representation/readout of how far into a chapter/book/etc. you are.)
It's harder to apply the immediate sort of torque needed to do burnouts in automatic transmissions (in this case, transaxles) because they have low-end-torque-sapping devices called torque converters. These are opposing arrays of fins bathed in automatic transmission fluid; when power comes in the input side, the input fins spin, forcing fluid into the output fins and causing them to spin, and finally delivering torque to the input end of the transmission (transaxle).

Direct-drive electric vehicles, just like standard-transmission ICE vehicles, have none of this nonsense, which leads to part of the "legendary torque" association (the other part being the flat torque curve).

So being alarmed at the ability of a vehicle without a clutch or stick-shift to activate traction control when flooring at low speeds is not a cause for concern, nor is it damning of the Bolt's design, nor is it damning of FWD electric vehicles as a class.
In really don't like framing this as winning or losing. Tesla has already won - they've successfully entered the market, they have customers and are making money (plenty of revenue at least, I don't know about profit)

A docker container can run in host networking mode.

You could also disable the DNAT and route IPs to your containers. Docker uses network namespaces to create a bridge to the actual ethernet card - the DNAT part of things is only one possible configuration.

IPv6 makes it easier to have routable addresses.

The right choice is going to depend on the available infrastructure, performance requirements, workload profile, ...

But really, in most environments, connection tracking simply isn't the bottleneck. Where it is, configure your systems not to use it.

I imagine that you are right, regarding the layers of institutional bureaucracy. It's probably a mix between: "It needs to look like a Chevy", "It needs to look futuristic", and "It needs to look like other electric cars so that people know that it's electric". It also looks quite similar to the BMW i3 electric car which is inline with Chevrolet's recent push to sell luxurious looking cars at cheaper prices[1].

JR built Shinkansen-only tracks that have their own stations and no level crossings, which means they are essentially going their full speed the entire journey.

Driving is still popular here.

A) It's fun, there is a lot of beautiful scenery to admire and highway service areas have restaurants where you can eat some local food or buy souvenirs from that area.

B) It's cheaper to go by car once you have four people, even with highway fees and gas (most journeys in Japan aren't that long in terms of actual distance traveled, and normal cars are legally mandated to have very good fuel efficiency).

TBH my favorite way to travel is by highway bus. They used to really suck, but have gotten better in the last five years or so because they have a lot of competition from high-speed rail and cheap airfares. You can travel comfortably in a big seat with free wifi and power outlets very cheaply, usually less than half of the equivalent Shinkansen ticket, in exchange for the journey taking a few hours more.

Depends on the area and timeframe. If you look areas where there are lots of sensors around - say Europe, forecast for next 2 weeks will be very accurate.

If you are looking at the ocean, where sensors are only placed every 500KM - your accuracy will be very low.

The thing with 3 dimensional objects is that you get a lot of those in real life. All it takes to show a blind person what 3 dimensional looks like is to pick up a keyboard, show its different sides, and describe that "This is the height, this is the width, and this is the depth."

Sure, and then they'd be stuck with Billy Joe and Jim Bob, who once used a computer back in the 90's, as a workforce.

Or they could offer the same California salaries to programmers, who would live like kings in a small town but wouldn't have the same conveniences, and still spend the same amount of money.

Moving to the countryside doesn't always make business sense. Sure, costs to have a business in an urban area, but it's easier to find workforce at all needed levels and the trappings of urban civilization keep your workforce occupied and happier in their off hours.

Case-in-point: I work for a cash-strapped startup (for reasons) and sometimes have to live off my savings, but I live in an urban area. I could move to my hometown, where my costs would be about 25% of my current expenses, but then I'd be living in a special kind of hell where there are few good restaurants and the nearest bookstore is 60 miles away.
Good catch. We added that above.

Buybacks are a terrible waste of shareholders' money and is akin to putting lipstick on a pig. The only reason why IBM has had relatively decent numbers is because of the financial engineering associated with buybacks. Unfortunately, it all blew up with the current CEO who has to deal with the fact that revenues are dropping like a rock and can't be out-engineered anymore.

Thanks for the feedback. Interesting. The UNIX dependence was one of my main gripes. I had some workarounds but figured a clean-slate model or retrofit of cross-platform SCM was better. I still wanted to eventually meet and get insight from the author on such a project. Too bad he died. (sighs)

Back to clean-slate or retrofit of alternative as I figure Aegis might be too complex to use for such a project if main mind behind it isn't available. Still, they get credit for doing a lot of things right.
Are there public companies where projected buybacks would result in the company being taken private, after N years?
Thank you for the clarification.

It seems strange that "the President" is a proper name.

In Spanish we used to say e.g. "el papa" (pope) when not mentioned near the proper name "el Papa Francisco".

Nowadays even if they're still common names, a lot of public positions and institutions are capitalized by media, probably to show that they're more important than us, common mortals :-)

I remember being annoyed writing documents for the job that insisted in taking this fad to an extreme and capitalizing everything that was even vaguely related to the authority positions.

There's a special level at hell for language reformers.
Also, companies that borrow money to finance stock purchases (eg Apple) also save on their taxes because interest expense on debt is tax deductible.

You repeat the same process. svn update your src and the rebuild your world and kernel. That is the price for custom kernel configs, no more kernel binary distribution (unless you setup your own build server, which you really don't want to do).

Note, however, that kubernetes is not used within Google (rather, they use a C++ alternative).

Part of why kubernetes uses Go is that it's in a docker-centric container ecosystem. Docker picked Go for its own reasons, not because of Google, so in a way, Kubernetes is picking Go because of the outside community, not because of Google or the language itself.

Agreed - Especially if Tesla's selling batteries, operating systems, and/or infrastructure services to other EV manufacturers. Winning by creating and growing the EV ecosystem sounds like part of the plan.
> a company which executes a share buyback will have no change in its stock price... this is also exactly equivalent to distributing profits in the form of a dividend

This is false (conditionally). Most valuations look something like: earnings x growth + cash. If you have cash that you cannot reinvest at the same ROI that you have been growing at, you can increase shareholder value by removing the cash element, since it's dead weight. A buy back is a way to invest that cash at the same ROI that your company is growing at. A dividend would require the investors to re-invest that cash and get the same ROI that the company is growing at.

This is why it make sense for large, fast growing companies to buy back their shares and for large, slow-growing companies to issue dividends.
The original owner gets some money from that windfall. The developers make money by selling 10 units on a lot that used to have a single residence. The new tenants get to live closer to jobs and nightlife and possibly pay less in rent. The city makes more money from property taxes.

That seems like a win-win-win-win for everyone directly involved in this growing city.
Sorry for this pain point :( we will hopefully have VNET default in 11.0.

Slightly risky way: you can run freebsd-update fetch and then install twice, and you will notice it updates /usr/src.. it will instruct you to reboot after the first install, but instead do another install and you will notice that /usr/src has been updated. Rebuild your custom kernel and reboot. You risk changed ABIs during this, in practice it may be fine but depends how much you care about the box and whether you are comfortable cleaning up from a chroot if things go really bad.

Better: use svnlite in base or real SVN to update /usr/src to the releng/10.3 branch. Build your kernel, reboot, do freebsd update to get the base updates and make sure your kernel is intact.

Best: use svnlite to update /usr/src. Do buildkernel, reboot. Do buildworld and follow https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/makeworld.html. The more you run FreeBSD, the more you will want to follow -STABLE or -CURRENT and do your own release engineering.

Future best: Use any method to derive custom kernel, use packaged base to update base. Or again hopefully common use wont need a custom kernel.

I don't think this is accurate. When a company buys back shares, the shares are retired increasing the ownership percentage of the remaining shareholders.

It is basically the opposite of issuing shares and diluting existing shareholders.
Expensing interest only saves you the total interest x interest rate. So they just get a 35% discount on their interest rate.

That's a lie, but it's a clever trick to plant it in a smear comment, so we can't ban you without seeming to confirm it. Or rather, it would be clever if HN trolls hadn't been using it for years.

What does get you banned on HN is being a serial troll who creates new accounts merely to break the site rules.
> For everyone wondering why the large cash balances on company books, this is why.

You have that backwards. Companies are generating vast amounts of cash and don't see investments that they want to make (hiring and expanding into new products, acquisitions, etc), which leads to the large cash piles. Some investors then pressure the company to return part of this cash to shareholders (see Carl Icahn / Apple for a recent and high profile example), and that can be done directly via dividends, somewhat indirectly via buybacks, or both. Companies do not spend 'rainy day' money on buybacks - companies in need of additional funds sell more shares or take on more debt, not use cash to buy shares.
I believe I know who you are talking about. It's His Hairness, right? :)

> Everyone can be a leader.

This seems like a naive point of view. In any real organisation people naturally form hierarchies, even if they're implicit and unstated. It's just human nature. Then if someone lower in the hierarchy starts to suddenly act like a leader they'll have other people who are notionally higher than them in the hierarchy stomp on them, quelling the usurper initiative in order to maintain their own position in the social hierarchy.

This is such a deep part of human nature that people don't even know they're doing it. It's well documented in psychology texts but for some reason people deny it happens in their own workplace. Yet I've observed it happening in every workplace I've ever been in.
The article forgot to mention that the well well well above average pays waaaay less than the numbers mentioned due to their access to complex, yet legal tax schemes.
