There is no way to say this without sounding like an asshole, so I'll just forego trying to sugarcoat it: I can read perezhilton.com without ever having to look up a word. Reading the Economist, I have to look up at least one word every week. Growing up, I never knew a single person reading the Economist or the equivalent; while reading the spatial-and-temporal equivalent of perezhilton.com was though of (by my larger environment, not my nuclear family luckily) as something that was almost intellectual, because hey, it was reading.

For one thing, price. Or to put it another way: $100 buys a lot more comfort in rural America than $200 buys you in a city center.

I have a very cushy job in a dense urban center. $100k+. And yet, I'm forced to choose between having a decent apartment to myself and having my wife study. With half the income in flyover America I could have a 3 bedroom house and easily pay all expenses without taking any government handouts. That'd be great.

Now imagine that same reasoning for someone who'd make 30k in the city. Either they can share a room with zero privacy in coastal America or they can have a small apartment in flyover states. You want to have any chance at all to build a life, flyover states are the answer there.
Thermodynamics still limits what you can compute and, given the output of a single star, you're still limited in what can be computed.

But I think it's a mistake to try to characterize any civilization by a single motivation. People on Earth do things for many different reasons and I think we should expect the same of alien civilizations even if single motivations tax our imaginations less. The questions is if any of the motivations driving a stellar civilization would be enough to prompt the establishment of colonies. I don't think you can say that the answer will be 'no' reliably for every civilization that might arise and it only takes on to colonize a galaxy in short order (by cosmic standards). Hence sophisticated life is probably very rare.

(As a side note: the author refers to high-schoolers as to a "pack" at some moment. To my mind, one of the most detrimental things modern schools do to children is packing them in large single-age groups, where jackal pack mentality grows easily, and there are no big guys to look at and emulate, nor small ones to care about and protect.)

It depends on the frame of reference, which can be somewhat arbitrary.

A ship can sail a straight line from Falmouth to Boston, but that motion can be described as an arc because of the curvature of the Earth. Add in the motion of Earth's orbit, and the shape of that motion changes again. Add in the Solar System's motion relative to the Galactic Centre, and it's yet another shape.

It's all a matter of perspective :-)

There is a reasonable other side to this: when developers don't build parking but people still feel a need to have cars, tenants end up parking on the street. At any reasonable level of density there are more cars associated with a building than the curb space it occupies, so parking spills over all around the neighborhood.

Removing minimum parking requirements is reasonable, but it should be done in such a way that developers can't offload their tenant parking to public property, i.e. by also making the surrounding streets no-parking.

Obviously, since now they can ignore manufacturing defects in a whole swath of devices.

I had a MacBook Pro where I replaced the DVD drive with an SSD, and Apple refused to fix their known-faulty graphics hardware[0] since the Mac had "unauthorized modifications". There was no way that SSD had any impact on the graphics corruption, but Apple did indeed save money on not having to repair it.

No they're not. iCloud is still not end-to-end encrypted; iMessage users still trust Apple to verify identity; macOS and iOS users still cannot verify the source of the OSes they run.

Apple may be betting that people care about online-privacy snake oil.

It will run malware samples and store any DNS and/or direct IP connections and lookups from the compromised host.

Anytime someone blithely talks about including an oxidizer (or oxygen) into the mix, it's good to remember all of what you just said. Highly reactive elements and oxygen are far more scary in general, and given enough oxygen pretty much everything becomes highly reactive.

Unity3D beta upgrades Mono compiler
That's odd because my old MBP had the same issue and I had also replaced the drive with an SSD. I was fully prepared to put the original hardware back in, but the Apple tech diagnosed and fixed the video issue without any comment on my changes.
Yeah, it would be stupid if it was the only action. As I understood, they paid 75kusd fine, then applied for the license as well, and did bunch of other compliance-actions. Segregated wallets were one of those.

This is very cool.

The first thing I did was to click on Frontier: Elite II, seeing as how I grew up with it on the Amiga and now I play Elite: Dangerous.

To be emulating the Amiga in a browser is rather impressive, although it naturally does have a few drawbacks. Some comments/observations...

The emulator and game took a long time to start with no feedback as to what is happening (e.g. it would be nice to see 'Booting the emulator' , 'Loading the game', 'Optimising for running' or what have you).

The actual emulation within the browser was slow on my machine at least (An ageing AMD Phenom II X4, and using Google Chrome) - the frame rate is noticeably slower than the Real Deal running on original metal [again, it's an emulation therefore understandable]).

The sound is very very close - although if you scroll up and down the page a bit you notice the sound slows down (again understandable - you're probably stealing execution cycles from the emulator when doing this).

The full screen icon did nothing.

The sound icon did nothing except bring up a message window telling me it only did something if the emulator was running - even when the emulator is running.

Verdict: An impressive feat to be running old Amiga games in a browser, but at least on my system speed improvements, feedback on what is happening whilst it sets up the emulation environment and game, and having the full-screen and sound icons work properly, is desirable.

as a big proponent of the cytof, i'm not sure that these guys used it in a novel capacity or even used it in its area of greatest strength... based off of what i can see, they did some simple immunophenotyping with less than a dozen markers, which traditionally be more suited for flow cytometry-- which they also used to detect GFP in a different section.

i like that the cytof is getting more popular, but people need to understand that the logistical commitment and jankiness of the system means that it should really only be used for its greatest strength: simultaneous detection of 30 variables on a small scale basis.

Great write up. We use S3 for our Apt & Yum repos at work, too, only with website hosting turned on for the buckets (losing some of the security OP's solution has but adding simplicity).

I'd like to point out a tool I'm using now for building and managing our Apt repos- Aptly https://www.aptly.info/

It's really nice and Just Works™. It even has S3 publishing built in. Oh, and you can build Apt repos on Debian, CentOS, MacOS X & FreeBSD (thanks Go!).

To solve for Yum & Apt I wrote a tool in Go that keeps all the metadata in a JSON file in S3. It's just a map of S3 buckets that are repos to a list S3 URLs for each RPM / Deb. Whenever that file gets updated, just like OP, I send an event from S3 to Lambda. Unlike OP, tho, I just have Lambda launch a task in ECS and then my repo builds (& S3 syncing) takes place in containers (1 Ubuntu container for Apt repos & 1 CentOS container for Yum).

Look for a company that's rapidly expanding. They'll be the ones who just got 10+ million in funding for the first time. It's hard to be rigorous about hiring practices when you're looking to hire 300-600 new employees in a single year.

I wouldn't suggest that unless you're desperate for a job and/or experience. You'll get tons of work experience you may not have gotten at a more stable company, but that's offset by the chaos you'll see on a day to day basis.

> expecially over a timespan of years

The warranty for most products is limited to one year (two in the EU by law, sometimes three if you pay more.) After that period, no company will repair or refund anything, even if it fails spectacularly.

As soon as that time expires the maintenance is in your hands, so it's a good habit to start by taking it apart, give it a good cleaning, check for corrosion and for faulty capacitors, maybe upgrade the RAM or the disk if you like.
Btw, I liked your blog - it's bare to essentials.. I tend to like such minimalistic approach. :)
Speaking of cross platform and browser extensions, there's always the possibility of doing a web front end in a browser container to reduce your cost for launching / supporting both.

Fwiw I wouldn't consider something like irssi / weechat "simple", especially if it's doing something like drawing a ui. Something like curl, jq, awk, grep, sed etc would be useful to have on Windows and should be more compatible from the shell standpoint. Not sure where they're at in terms of xterm compatibility or similar but I'm guessing that's further down the line.

Slightly unrelated, you IMHO should always use a solution where you can use your own domain name, so you can rescue your content to your own server or another provider and keep your links alive (in case a service is shutting down, your preferences change, ...)

I work for an MSP. This is HP's motivus operandi. We had a number of machines that constantly blue screened. Reviews of the crash dump were impossible because in the middle of the dump the system would lock up. We also had a number of Dell machines in the same Active Directory domain running the same software that had no issues. After about 3 months of testing (and about 5 'lost' tickets) the client was getting pissed due to a lack of a resolution. We did everything they asked. The final response was that Internet Explorer was not supported on these machines and we needed to stop using it (In this case, basically "Don't use the machines you paid for and they won't bluescreen"). Not IE 8 or 9 mind you, IE11 on Windows 7 machines. I asked them to update their website to reflect this, as I'm sure many customers would like to know, they never did. (It was bullshit, the problem was bad ram, when I replaced it with some I had laying around everything worked fine) It happened that IE11 was a requirement for the web app they use. Eventually we were able to get the VAR to eat the costs and send us replacements, but HP never claimed any responsibility whatsoever. It's on my never buy list now, what a nightmare.
Interesting idea to use Lambda. (Personally, I've used Aptly.)

For the Apt transport, I recommend apt-boto-s3 (https://www.lucidchart.com/techblog/2016/06/13/apt-transport...) that I authored. Unlike apt-transport-s3, it

* Works with AWS v4 signatures (required in some regions)
* Supports If-Modified-Since caching.
* Uses pipelining.
* Uses standard AWS credential resolution, like ~/.aws/credentials or IAM roles
* Allows credentials to be specified per-repo (in the URL)
* Supports both path and virtual-host styles for S3 URLs

And it works with proxies if you use HTTPS_PROXY/HTTP_PROXY environment variables (though I haven't tested this).
Lucky.

I've had a battery that was 10 cycles out of warranty and OS X started throwing up scary warnings but nope, it's out of warranty. A charger that just up and died, they did replace it but not after a 20 questions interrogation. When it's a clear problem they've been friendly, but the repair still takes a week since they don't have the parts or expertise in-store.

And I'm super-friendly to support staff - back in the days when I used Palm and Sony Ericsson gear, the would repair user-fault stuff for me no questions asked.

I've heard similar things from others in the EU. And all the love stories I hear are from the US.
