I think where a key abstraction was lost was when JavaScript became the language you had to compile to if you wanted to do web development. Biggest hope I see on the horizon is WebAssembly, which has support of many big players but I've heard very little on it recently.

Recommended system requirements for a decent oVirt installation are huge by comparison with Kimchi's. However, Kimchi is much less configurable than oVirt. So far as I can make out, oVirt is best suited for clustered virtualization whilst Kimchi aims mainly for single server virtualization. At least, that's how I'm using it and it seems to work well. I asked our sys admin whether oVirt would work for my HP MicroSever and he said something more lightweight would be better.

This sentence confused me deeply, given it contradicts the rest of the article, until I realised they meant to say "it substitutes real steel for foam weaponry and unpredictable scuffling for scripted acting". Or, if you prefer, "it substitutes foam weaponry with real steel and scripted acting with unpredictable scuffling". You substitute new for old, and old with new (but in the latter case you may as well say "replace").

> they just deny you the job silently.

This.

I've first hand witnessed several people being rejected/blocked by HR from manager positions in Fortune 100 corporations due to various internet findings.

Examples: - pictures on facebook showing the applicant vomiting due to drinking too much, noone wants to risk hiring an alcoholic
- search result connecting the applicant to a cult,
- search result showing applicant posting negative opinions about immigration
- search result showing applicant being open with bdsm sex related activities

The applicants were not given the chance to discuss these issues with HR, they were just silently rejected. I think this is very common as it exposes the company to risk if there is a discussion and the candidate is later rejected. If there is no discussion, there is no proof. When hiring for any position which is customer facing, corporate HR is incredibly sensitive how the applicant is displayed on the internet.

Posting anything on the internet about anyone is extremely powerful today and it doesn't matter if it is true or not since you will not have any way to defend yourself.
If you were to indicate, in any way, that you'd retract the offer unless I accept right there before I head home, I'd reject it right there before I head home.

In other words, I don't think that's a good solution at all.

I'd argue that it cannot ever be close to the same for as long as it's missing the vital psychological component of the fear for life that accompanied the real thing.

The impact of fear can be observed even in relatively safe modern combat sports. Moving from, say, freestyle wresting into MMA makes one a whole lot more cautious changing the fighting style altogether. In fact, I've witnessed multiple times how trained sportsmen coming to MMA would lose to newbies simply because they were too weary of traumas and acted less aggressively. Sportsmen often get lost when the whole setup changes from scoring points to physically beating opponents into submission risking the same fate for yourself. I can only imagine how much different it would be when the very life is at stake.

Not necessarily "quite a bit" different; various HEMA forms seem to have done quite a good job of reproducing combative styles very well, within their limitations.

Of course, this requires rules sets which are designed primarily towards the goal of producing sword bouts which look like a fight with sharps, and participants who are keen to achieve the same effect. When those conditions are not met then the fight will indeed diverge from the techniques and tactics of the "real thing". Modern fencing is an excellent example of this - it's a fine sport requiring great skill and stamina but it does not resemble fighting with sharps.

There are many HEMAists who will avoid tournaments out of a concern for the effects that competitive rules sets and the pressure to win may have upon their art, and there are others who don't mind. It is a topic of constant debate within the community.

As usual, this is relevant:

To this day, I think about that sentance, supposedly extrapolated from years of statistics.

One way to handle persistent container storage is to use a shared filesystem such as glusterfs or objectivefs. It's easy to set up and can be very helpful when moving your infrastructure to containers. Once created you can mount your shared filesystem either on the host and share it with the container or directly in the container, see e.g. https://objectivefs.com/howto/how-to-use-objectivefs-with-do...

Indeed, the fear of being hit by a sharp sword is something that I am certain has an effect upon bouts. One major effect of the lack of fear is that participants become more and more keen to hit their opponents at all costs, resulting in double hits. Rules therefore exist to penalise those who aren't fighting "properly" by ignoring their own defence (e.g. the right-of-way rules in modern fencing).

Having said that, period texts discussing fighting with sharps acknowledge the problem of double hits, which were apparently quite common in duels with rapiers and smallswords, so the effect of tournament fighting is presumably to exaggerate an existing problem rather than introducing a completely new one.

> The fact that so many people talk about BI without leaving their job, raising funds, going on strike, founding unions, etc., is proof in my eyes that we're having an intellectual discussion, not waging a political battle.

I don't exactly think that going on strike or leaving your job, serves as a good argument for UBI - quite the contrary. And no, the same cannot be said for worker rights or work similar issues.

I do think that unions have a great role to play in this, and that they could easily focus and do research on the effects on UBI, much like the YC project.

> I hear from mediaeval HEMAists that it's not really quite the same as mediaeval combat

As soon as anything becomes a sport it deviates from how it works in real life. It has to, especially when the thing is combat based because killing someone in the name of sport simply isn't cricket.

I'm a member of a group that practices medieval sword, dagger, and unarmed techniques - with a view to being martially sound and historically accurate (within the limits of not actually maiming each other - there are things we know how to do that we would never try on a live training partner or in a tournament). Other groups have a different set of priorities: re-enactors tend to be very detailed about the look of the uniforms, equipment, and formations, but are much from lax/free with the actual combat techniques; people doing it for sport obviously can't be entirely accurate both for safety and audience entertainment reasons; and so on.

> I wouldn't know, not specialising in that period myself.

Even those that do don't 100% know how people back then trained and fought because the surviving manuscripts are not complete and even if they were would not contain all the information a modern audience would need as there was a certain amount of play combat kids would have been exposed to very early that didn't need to be taught - no one writing the training down thought that some of those details would ever need writing down. As with many historical studies, working out how the masters intended their work to be trained out is often therefor an exercise in reading between the lines (filling in the gaps with morsels of information from other sources and sometimes just from what we know about how the human body and the materials in the weapons and clothes/armour physically work) and of course this leads to multiple differing interpretations. This isn't just an issue when looking as far back as medieval periods: there are a few parts of the original Fairbairn/Sykes techniques from WWII (modified versions of which are still in use today by many forces), including the areas that were deliberately simple overall so they could be taught quickly to new intakes of soldiers who were sometimes completely inexperienced at fighting, where people can't entirely find agreement about how to translate the written instructions to useful physical techniques.

Theoretically yes. Practically I'd be very surprised if such a tech startup would have terms I would trust. Things I'd be looking at:

* data access revocation - I want to be able to revoke access to my data in a meaningful way

* business plan - I want to be the customer not the product for something like this

* portability - I don't want to feel that I'm stuck using any one solution for my life.

Using BEM and SASS to make our site modular and scalable
HTML and JS are bad, but you can reduce them to a basic syntax that you can work with. CSS on the other hand requires hacks to perform the most basic operations like positioning an element relative to another element or centering an element inside of a container.
There are many reasons why you don't want a general purpose OS for a microcontroller:

- Embedded systems are very price sensitive. if you're making it general purpose, you're wasting money.

- Embedded systems generally have some form of real-time requirements. General Purpose OSes are not suitable here.

- Time-Efficiency; don't waste cycles.

- Space-efficiency; don't waste memory.

- power-efficiency; be asleep as much as possible.

Simple schedulers such as FreeRTOS/RTX/ChibiOS/etc/etc/etc are much more suitable, but better just to implement a nice simple super-loop. Primitive but efficient.

To me the biggest anomaly here is the four year period from 1956 to 1960, 26 to 30, when Buffet octupled his net worth from $1M to $8M. Plenty of silicon valley engineers will have a net worth of $1M, but I think few make it to $8M. What was Buffet doing during those magical 4 years?
