Is RedHat interested in contributing to Qubes, which uses Fedora? This would help advance the state of the art in desktop security and seamless UI compositing.
Yep and this is the problem. Initial library support isn't close to enough.

It needs to be extracted from a real project and then carefully groomed and enhanced based on real problems.

Otherwise you're just sitting there trying to invent something with no use case. You can't invent a beautiful API or account for edge cases that you don't even know exist.

This is why Rails will be around and thriving for another 10 years. Until something so drastic comes along that it fully disrupts everything we know about web development, I will still reach for Rails.

Right now all of these alternative solutions in other languages aren't offering enough benefits to even think about switching.

P.S., I'm not even a Rails fanboy. I use other techs too and tried to get on the bandwagon with Node back in the early days and did the same thing with Go. It took a long time to realize how much of an utter waste of time it is to chase the new shiny thing.

>A common analogy is comparing an IP address to a mailing address or phone number for computers. For most purposes, this analogy is good enough

While it is a common analogy, is not "good enough" because it is incorrect, inaccurate, and has lead to a host of problems far removed from this current GeoIP issue.

RIAA/MPAA is one of the worst offenders at attempting to equate an IP address to a Physical Address/person for the purpose of civil and legal liability. I believe they are the ones that cemented this very very flawed and incorrect analogy in to the minds of the less technical minded persons

I just turned off the television after my kids watched more television in one morning than they have in an entire month. The reason? Rio Olympics track and field. Finally had to turn it off because I wasn't getting any work done.

Other than that, in the summer time anyways, I'll usually toss them a book of matches and tell them to start a fire or go build a dam in the brook.

We usually have lofty educational goals at the start of summer but quite honestly I can't be arsed when the weather is warm and there's so much great romping to be had. When we watch TV it's usually youtube for something we're curious about as a family. The "Fun" T.V. most always leaves my kids grumpy afterwards so we avoid it, not for moral or educational or child development reasons, but because i don't like grumpy kids.

After a couple kids and being the oldest of a large family I've realized from my individual scientific survey of one that kids will develop and learn in spite of their parents. We get too much credit and too much blame.

"rendition"
In Finland, the capital gains on cryptos are realised once you sell them for floating currencies (ie. USD or EUR). We pay 34% tax on the profit.

For example, I'd pay (1M€ - 20k€) x 34% = 333k€ of taxes on capital gains. I'm not sure how the taxation works if you try to dodge it by relocating to a more tax friendly zone. I've heard some horror stories about Finnish companies moving to Estonia for tax benefits only to be taxed with fines for the gains that the company made while it located in Finland. Would the same rationale apply for personal capital gains?

You can freely trade between cryptos, for example between BTC and ETH, without triggering the capital gains. The moment you leave cryptoland, I believe they use the first-in-first-out (FIFO) principle to calculate the profits.
An Introduction to TDD (Test-Driven Development)
Fedora's bleeding-edge kernel support usually means better hardware support for newer laptops, which is great. One potential drawback, however, is the decision not to include any non-FOSS drivers in the installation package. I completely understand why they do it, but it throws a wrench into the idea of loading Linux onto a laptop and having everything "just work".

For instance, getting the Broadcom wifi card that comes with my Dell XPS 13 to work on Fedora has been such a pain in the ass (proprietary driver only) that most people recommend tearing it out and replacing it with an Intel card that has a more Linux-friendly driver.

If Redhat really wants better Linux penetration in the laptop world, at some point they're probably going to have to make a decision to either go the Linux Mint route and include proprietary drivers by default, or try to engage some of the hardware manufacturers to open-source their drivers.
None of the teams I've worked with had such a policy and certainly I wouldn't work in a team like that.

And I would. Look, it all comes down to what you're comfortable with and how you've made your money. Some people are terrified of losing even a penny. Others don't care if a stock goes down 20%, if long term the business is solid / healthy and the price makes sense.

If you're looking for stock tips on the internet, then yes, half in picked stocks is quite risky. If you're willing to put in the work to do the research by plowing through SEC filings, reading annual reports, trying out the product the business is selling, in sectors you know and understand (i.e. tech for us) and you have common sense, then it's quite reasonable. You won't always get it right, but you can at least do better than others who haven't done their homework. That also means saying no to 90% of the stocks you could invest in.
In my mind, this kind of fuck up seems consistent with IBM's (and other mega vendor) reputation when it comes to this kind of contract.

It's more reflective of poor procurement discipline than anything else -- whomever put out the bid let lobbyists or high level people do their thing without appropriate governance or penalty. It's a relatively small contract, and without clear penalties for poor performance this type of large contractor will do as little as possible.
This is true, but my guess is an extension of life like you are talking about will probably come with increased health and hopefully a big decrease in health costs. I think that the terrible heath of most of our elderly people and the cost that incurs is a big part of where our entitlement systems take the most damage. We have a lot of room to improve there without even extending human life.

Like most finance blogs, the core idea behind MMM (spend less, save more, retire early) is fine.

FWIW, I recall the last time that Broadcom tried engaging the Linux kernel community was back when there was an open source (b43?) Broadcom driver, it "sort of" worked if you were lucky and didn't use too complex a network setup (If I recall it'd break on certain security modes?)

Broadcom showed up suddenly, dumped a badly written set of kernel patches and then disappeared into the ether, frustrating just about everybody involved

I don't know about desktop but running Hackintosh in VM oh man what a nightmare, i run different OSes in VMs (Linux, Windows in different versions) inside my OS for testing and i never had any problems but hackintosh works like trying to run windows 10 on pentium 2. It's slow as hell, i have problems with sound, rendering is awfully slow and is losing frames, it hangs without reason from time to time. This are my experiences with hackintosh inside VM, i don't know how it works as standalone OS.

To be honest, while We Don't Have Cable(tm), some of the stuff I have seen on Cartoon Network was surprisingly good. Shows like Adventure Time are weird and funny, there was also a mini-series called Over The Garden Wall that was straight up fantastic.

Even stuff towards the more rubbish end of the spectrum, like Teen Titans Go, obviously has really good writers and is a lot of fun, at least for somewhat older kids and their parents.
I have not used a Hackintosh. But, I have a Mac Mini at home that I upgraded to max out the RAM and add a SSD. With the addition of an external drive for media storage, it ended up being perfect for the needs you describe. In addition to my home use, I take it to trade shows for work to run as a demo web server for our product.
As much as I like Ubuntu, I have a significantly higher level of trust in Red Hat to get this right for some reason. Maybe it's just confidence in the company's core principles.

I've hit a point where I'm ready to move on from my Macbook Pro after about 10 years and I've been looking at Linux laptop options. It's mind boggling that it's so hard to find good options.

Everything seems to revolve around "get a Windows laptop and wipe it" or "buy some flavor of old Thinkpad" with warnings about EFI and compatibility. Then there are company's like System76 who have what looks like a good offering on the surface but I keep seeing threads about bad experiences with them.

If I could order a laptop direct from Red Hat I'd do it without hesitation.
Cars, bikes, pets, anything that gets stolen or runs away. The existing cheap tags are just beacons with short range. The apps overpromise using a network (other people with apps) to continuously look for reported tags. In not densely populated areas that's useless.
Laptop manufacturers could also just avoid this problem by using modems that don't require proprietary drivers or firmware, like those from Intel or Atheros. This is an entirely avoidable problem.

I have looked into them in the past, but I don't really feel like Linux is a huge learning curve coming from OSX, especially if you stick with one of the well-known distros.

Even if it is a learning curve, it's probably one that will be at least somehow useful professionally.
imo, often the things made for adults are better suited for kids than the things designed specifically for kids (by misguided adults).

Kids aren't dumb, they just lack refined thinking models adults develop as they grow up. Eg: I think we all have experienced reading again something we read young and loved and finding a lot more meaning in it.

(I'd still avoid showing some things to them of course.)
Well that was exactly what OP was not looking for in an answer.
I consider myself as financially independent. I worked for a number of years in London as IT contractor (£400-500pd). Then I moved back to my home country and my hometown in Poland (reasonably affordable, not a capital). I don't have a car and I try to keep my spending to minimum (no fancy holidays, which I don't need. I cook, etc). I try to ensure my spending doesn't exceed equivalent of €500 a month.

I still spend most of the day in front of the computer. The only difference is that I wake up and finish when I want. I work on my personal projects (without aim to make money), which I find more interesting than doing commercial CRUD apps.

> And I think if you're avoiding writing tests to define
> what your code should do you're a shoddy programmer.

At the opposite end of the testing/no-testing spectrum would be the statement: if you can't look at your own code and see whether it does what you intend it to do, but need to write a test to make sure of this, your code is either of poor quality or you're not paying enough attention.

I think both viewpoints have merit. But neither one paints the whole picture. Tests are useful to a certain degree, but since time is limited, it's all about striking the right balance between testing and no testing. You can always write more tests, but at some point it becomes more useful to just look at the code you're testing. And, conversely, you can always look at your code one extra time, but sometimes it's better to formalize your doubts into a test.
"Orwellian" is totally a thing, but I don't think that when people say "Orwellian" they are talking about Orwell's ideology--they're usually talking about the kinds of problems that Orwell wrote about in 1984 and Politics and the English Language. It's analogous to how some diseases are named after the doctors who identified them--obviously the doctor doesn't cause the disease or want it to happen, they simply identified it.
After running a Hackintosh for about 6 months a few years ago I became convinced that they're not really for budget-minded Mac enthusiasts, but for people who enjoy maintenance and troubleshooting.

Unless you're on a tight budget and planning to use existing hardware, I strongly recommend going the way of a Mac Mini and spend the time you would have lost to building a Hackintosh on literally anything else.
> who apparently does card reader stuff,

You mean the guy wrote codes for card reader or the card reader manufacturer? :)

In Belgium (where I live), these gains are tax free. So that is one country you could potentially move to to avoid the tax. The same applies for the UK, Malta, Cyprus (non dom regime) and Monaco. If I were you, I'd consider doing the perpetual traveler thing for a while (i.e. while having a base in Malta, which is cheap) and cash out + reinvest in stocks. After a few years, move back, and then pay capital gains tax on those future gains.

You can leave most countries without realising the capital gain, even if you've built it up within a country. This is why certain people move to a country without capital gains tax to sell their company. Obviously I don't know Finnish tax law, but within the EU it's generally the case (for now). Have it checked by a _GOOD_ tax lawyer, if that's what you want to do.

Building up capital is important - once you have it there's a lot you can do.

I picture the easy (CRUD, blogs, etc) backend development somewhat continuing as it has for years, frankly. The easy use cases are going to continue to rely on PAAS offerings; those offerings will simply go from "colocated web hosting" to Heroku, Lambda, and GAE. As easy edge caching from CDNs continues to proliferate, we'll see more and more use of those as well.

Backends which are expected to do more, however, are going to be different. With the loss of growth in computing speed due to faster silicon, I think the growing complexity of our software programs is going to force the pendulum swing back away from "fast enough" and towards "optimize everything". We simply won't be able to rely on faster silicon to handle the greater complexity without further thought on our part.

Pushing the additional complexity to the client will cease to become enough, since the capability to do heavy client side processing is becoming less reliable. The reason is simple: personal computation devices are smaller, lighter, and with more and more unpredictable levels of computation power (as they are throttling to conserve the battery and minimize heat). This leads me to speculate that more and more work is going to be pushed back towards the server, which has fewer restrictions. I do think that communication between the server and client will grow in complexity as well, which will make us look at the days of long-polling HTTP and websockets as "the good old days".

All that to say, the future of backend development is much like the past. Supporting thin clients with unpredictable computing environments by making everything run as quickly as possible in a large, distributed datacenter.
