thanks for giving me that information...

Well, I noticed there had been a pattern for my multiple posts on this topic that, for several times, each time when a post was downvoted, it was double downvoted...

So either it was a very synchronized move by several independent minds, or more likely, it was from a same mind who operates several accounts...

Edit 1:

I personally would not mind at all that any of my posts has been downvoted -- and if the person would like to provide any reasoning for his downvoting, then that would be better...After all, the whole point is not to win over your opponent but to find some thing that is closer to the truth and justice -- if there is any...

But manipulating the visibility of other people's words by casting multiple downvotes by a same individual is sheer disgusting and does not make any sense to prove any point...as if that is a way of finding out truth and justice, then truth and justice would be equivalent to registering and manipulating more accounts than your opponents'...this reduces the human talent of reasoning to a series of steps of mechanical movement...it is a waste of his own life, as well as his audience's time...

I really agree with you on this one, my acquaintances that have actually used this, use it for running bulk jobs that are triggered by S3 changes.
When the Asiana flight 214 crash landed in SFO in 2013, there was a blog post from a pilot who claimed to be a Lufthansa Air pilot.

He wrote that because of city of San Francisco's unusually stringent noise mitigation rule for airliners flying over the city to land at the SFO airport, an airliner has to make a very steep descent from an altitude higher than normal. So instead of bringing down an airliner gradually, a pilot has to get down to the airport in a hurry, requiring much more stringent management of energy/speed. It sounds simple for a plane that's flying straight in, but for a pilot at end of a 10+ hr flight, it's not always so simple. At least I think that's what the purported Lufthansa pilot claimed.

I wonder if this has any bearing on the incident.

To be fair, the predictive power of many different polygenic risk models is very low. (Source: doing a PhD in Genetics atm.) So this does not really surprise me. Usually about 50% of variance can be explained by genetics, and 50% by environment. Meaning that if you have a good enviromental predictor, such as a zip code, you may be able to predict a trait better, than with genetics, which contain a lot of cryptic relationships that a predictor may not integrate. Its totally fair to be critical of the merit of genetic predictions. Usually they are super bad.
While it's true this article is a whole lot of nothing, here's a better article with concrete facts on the same subject: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/u-s-life-expectan...

On its face, it doesn't seem that crazy. Location is linked to both wealth and environment, which are both pretty significant factors in health. Do you think most doctors would say that average genetic variation makes a bigger difference than, say, poor childhood nutrition, or smoking?

For me one very important aspect of Linux is that the OS is decoupled from any kind of "consumer experience". In other words nothing in the OS is ever asking me:

Who I am

Do I need additional products or services

So I appreciate that this is handy for some people, but to me it's like avocado ice-cream. A bad idea that tastes like crap.
This sounds very interesting indeed. Can this be done with Coq? Do you have any tutorials or such on doing this?
This is normal corporate IT on windows. The biggest battle I have is with operations teams who require that you don't have administrative privileges on windows dev machines. This cripples development teams instantly because you just can't do that.

I tried to push the organisation I work with currently in that direction but they haven't quite got over the Stockholm syndrome of being a Microsoft certified partner yet or admit that a lot of infrastructure and platform investments were bad ones now.

I'd take low stress and good pay over most things ;)

I remember watching a similar doco as a kid, before my Dad went away to help set up the initial systems on the Wandoo A and B platforms in the North West of Western Australia. He'd not been offshore in a rig environment before and the conversation about the Piper Alpha came up.

As a kid about to see his Dad off for several weeks, it was a pretty distressing documentary to watch.

In my experience HiDPI is pretty well supported in Linux these days but mixed DPI over multiple monitors is still somewhat hit-and-miss. I've resorted to running my XPS 15's built-in screen at 1080P when I have my 1080P external monitors connected. Shame as I did pay extra for the 4K option!

Independent scaling per monitor is supposedly supported in Wayland and just around the corner in KDE so I live in hope. I hear it's mostly working in the very latest versions of Gnome now at least, although I couldn't get it to work.

(I appreciate that this is a thread about BSD - I'm just pointing out that the situation in Linux isn't much better)
Wow, you haven't even tried the thing once clearly.

Can you elaborate on what is it that is bad about WSL being on Windows? How does it make things bad for anybody? It's called choice.
Why not installing tensorflow on Windows directly? The WSL does not currently support accessing hardware like GPU so there is no benefit of using tensorflow on WSL.
Even setting aside the GPS/tablet/etc. question, I think you'd probably be astonished to learn how simple and how old the technology of automatic/instrument landing is.

Instrument landing systems date to the 1920s, a time when flying at night, or above cloud tops, was incredibly dangerous.

Imagine setting up a couple of directional radio antennas at the end of the runway. One broadcasts short beeps with long pauses (beep-----beep-----beep), the other broadcasts long beeps with short pauses (--beeeep--beeeep--). Set up the antennas so that if you're lined up horizontally with the center of the runway, the signals merge into a continuous tone (beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep).

That's more or less how instrument landing systems still work today. Modern ones have more antennas and coordinate you both vertically (on the correct slope to touch down at the start of the runway) and horizontally, but the whole thing is still based on directional radio signals that you pick up from your plane, and a published set of information for each airport (the "approach plate") telling you what frequencies to listen for depending on the runway you want.

Airliners can be programmed to "autoland" based on this information, but it requires some setup and also requires the pilots to be ready to take over at a moment's notice (if, for example, controllers at the airport decide to have the plane land on a different runway).
What is the impact of disconnected data? Curated data digest
You just need a private subnet, not a whole separate VPC. You still need NAT to get outbound access, but instead of running a random EC2 instance for the NAT, AWS now has a NAT you can deploy with a click or API call. You still pay for it, but it's at least much easier to set up and there's no maintenance. I assume they have redundancy and failover and such built in also.
I can't understand the number of people on this thread who appear to be very tech-savvy, but don't sympathise with your issues.

I've been off windows for several years, but recently needed to install Windows 10 on a machine for a family member. I ran into two utterly frustrating issues. The first was no ethernet after moving the machine to their house (after reinstalling all sorts of drivers I discovered it was due to assigned IP addresses and the fast-shutdown feature of Windows). The second was random crashes between 30mins and 1hour after boot up.

Of course, the occasional issue on linux occurs (though not really at this scale) - but what is worse is that you aren't given the tools or the means to troubleshoot them. There were at least 3 or 4 published articles about the second problem (which was due to a failing anniversary update - also difficult to troubleshoot as it doesn't show up as a process)- but none of them were actually useful for troubleshooting - they just gave '7 things you can do...', one of which was rebooting... (here's an example of one https://www.windowscentral.com/windows-10-anniversary-update... - they are useless!)

I think we need to define a new disease because we are both clearly suffering from it:

Post-Windows Traumatic Stress Disorder

Symptoms: unexpected and disproportionate rage at slightest OS attempt to override what they are doing or present them with adverts. occasional bouts of unexplained anger

Signs: weary-looking. withdraws when presented with Windows laptop.

Investigations: while undergoing windows update process, patient demonstrates strong negative emotional signs, i.e. sobbing, aggression

Treatment: if caught early, complete abstinence from windows. After several years they may start to consider trying out the latest version because it apparently forgoes the need for Windows. this is the point of relapse for most people.

if caught late (i.e. >10 years exposure), the prognosis is poor. you can try flooding therapy with Windows, complete abstinence from linux/MacOSX. eventually they may accept the subordinate position to their operating system and be able to share their happy experience of windows with their peers.
That is plenty fast, for practical use the only parameters worth discussing when it comes to wifi is connection stability and range.

This, this on so many levels! But this issue affects VMs too, the shared folders are always mounted with strange permissions, this is propagated to Docker too so Docker XP on Windows, in any configuration is seriously affected by the NTFS, put simply, awful. For developers this is critical. I don't know, maybe a software layer on top of NTFS permission might be able to emulate Posix style perms. The difference between Windows and Unix is too big compared to OSX, that is why OSX will always be more ergonomic.

But this does not mean that it is not to be appreciated, they did an awesome job. Maybe one day things will be solved, maybe you will be able to start native windows apps from UOW, maybe even Docker will be supported, maybe permissions will be cleverly emulated ... the work they did so far clearly focuses on getting things running, the QA period will be there soon too.
It's the 5th result for me (when searching Ubuntu), after a Linux Cheat Sheet, some PasteBin program and WepUpd8 (whatever that may be), then when I click it, the first line says: "This title is powered by great new feature of the windows insider program, please join at..."... Now should I, do I need to do that? The Get button is greyed out, but no indication why (probably because me company hasn't approved the anniversary update yet). What a crappy experience.

Economic collapse? Are you insane? China very likely has a property crash in its near future but even the very most developed parts of China are not near to Korea, Japan or Taiwan. There's a lot of room for China to grow and there's no reason to believe growth is under 5%. Maybe heavily state directed capitalism can't reach South Korean levels of prosperity but if all of China reaches Shanghai prosperity that will be success.

And the Arab Spring was in very large part a result of rising bread prices as well as being a massive failure in every way outside Tunisia.

Unofficial indicators of Chinese GDP often suggest that Beijing’s growth figures are exaggerated. This column uses nighttime light as a proxy to estimate Chinese GDP growth. Since 2012, the authors’ estimate is never appreciably lower, and is in many years higher, than the GDP growth rate reported in the official statistics. While not ruling out the risk of future turmoil, the analysis presents few immediate indications that Chinese growth is being systematically overestimated.

I'll just say that I strongly disagree. Pointing to the IEEE compatibility standard is being misleading. That's part of a standard and is not adequately inclusive to be considered "the standard". OS's that systemd supports do not all follow the POSIX standard. i.e. "not officially certified as POSIX compatible, comply in large part". Practically, this means some are more strict and other less so.

In regard to usernames, I can definitely forgive Poettering's initial failure in design to confusion. His assertion that he is following "the standard" fails on both a practical and logical level.

>How are they different from many other blog systems before them?

There is one key difference: Medium's popular posts recommendation algorithm is not based on pageviews, but on the time that people spend reading them. It was an attempt to solve the issue of clickbait. From Business Insider:

With Medium, Williams was on a mission to clean up the mess that blogging had become, the misinformation and drivel it attracted. He hoped to cure professional journalism of these ills, too.

“The state of tech blogs is atrocious. It’s utter crap,” he told Bloomberg’s Brad Stone in 2013. “They create a culture that is superficial and fetishizing and rewarding the wrong things and reinforcing values that are self-destructive and unsustainable.” And he said he was “pessimistic about the state of media, and that’s why I want to work on this problem.”

His idea back then was an algorithm that recommended high-quality stories not based on clicks, but on how much time people spent reading them.

> Maybe for OpenGL. But DirectX 11 is nearly always faster (e.g. bytecode shaders) and only available on Windows.

This statement utterly untrue, there is nothing especially performant about D3D11. FYI, "bytecode shaders" have nothing to do with shader performance. They have some impact on initial parse time, but little else.

It's called serverless because, for all intents and purposes, you don't know or control:

* how many real or virtual servers are running your code.

* how the servers were provisioned or setup.

* how to access the servers (either via SSH or programmatically), either than through predefined APIs.

* what happens when the servers break.

* what causes the servers to disappear.

* etc.

The "server" concept has been abstracted out of the equation and you're no longer required to think in terms of servers. (there is one exception: RAM usage is still something you need to predict for AWS Lambda.)

Instead, you're thinking in terms of limitations and usage of the service.

With the above said, serverless has a bit of journey to make. The toolchain is growing and the workflow of local development, testing and deployment is still a work in progress. I feel like it's a great time to jump in because there is a lot of exciting work to do and a good foundation to build on top of.
Short hops for big planes happen every so often.

A few years back when SFO was closed after the Asiana crash, a lot of big planes got re-routed to Oakland, then once SFO was open again they made the hop across the Bay.

Precisely. On another domain: "My crypto algorithm has never been broken, it is secure". No it is not, it's just too irrelevant for anyone to be interested in auditing it.

This type of question was exactly why I wrote the post, I've looked at the memory usage of a few .NET apps in the past and thought exactly the same thing :-)

Our oldest got a couple of the small proper-Lego Easy-To-Build sets when she was 2 1/2. That worked out very well.

Obviously we had to play together with her the entire time, and assist with the smallest pieces, but we quickly developed our own vocabulary for orienting parts along the different axes ("rotate" is around global z-axis, while "turn" is around global x- or y-axis, etc.) I'm positive it did wonders for her spatial cognitive abilities.

Especially the digger was a big hit, we must've built and rebuilt it dozens of times. Unfortunately it's no longer for sale:

You missed out on the fun
Because when you're coming in on runway 17L at DFW, all nice and programmed into your autoland, and suddenly the controller tells you to switch to landing on 17C, you have to just fly the plane. If you muck about trying to reprogram your autoland you'll be halfway to Oklahoma before you're set up again. See the video I linked in another comment in this thread for more details and examples of why complete automation is undesirable.

"There is just ZERO quality on the platform and I'm done with it."

This is clearly an exaggeration, as is "Nothing on windows works properly for months if not years.". If 'nothing' works, then how do developers like myself use Windows very successfully for creating and maintaining software? Either you've been very unlucky or made bad choices of hardware.
Fresh logos for your startup
I think the ease at which a VPS is configured (and scaled) is underrated. I mean you can literally install your tech stack with a few commands that you can copy-paste into the terminal and upgrade it with a few clicks.

Plus working with a command line just seems more "right" than clicking around in AWS backend.

I think he is referring to the experience of using Windows 10 not WSL - they really do push for you to register/sign-in to an online account just to install creators update - even going so far as placing opt-outs in funny positions on the screen so it isn't obvious that is a possibility. Why does the start menu contain software that isn't installed and adverts? Why do you need an account to download free software from the store?
