You can use some sort of configuration management tool to manage most of that from one centralized place. Some examples are chef, puppet, ansible, etc.

I recommend ansible since it's pretty lightweight and uses plain old ssh (i.e.: no agent daemon required). You can setup some simple playbooks or run some tasks remotely on one or multiple servers at the same time.

These tools are very flexible but they do require a bit of a learning curve so it may not be worthwhile for 2 servers. It's still a valuable skill set for anybody with a bit of devops interest.

I've never used that particular mushroom before, but you can use polyporous mushrooms as tinder if you find them in the wilderness.

The flammability is measured by the fact that they burn very slowly, like charcoals. On the flip side, they easily take sparks and aren't necessarily obvious that they're burning until they start getting pretty hot. While this makes them ideal for lighting fires with in damp areas, I would think it makes them a poor choice for headwear -- though of course cotton and felt hats take to flame pretty easily too.

That lack of a written guideline does not make it okay or a good idea to comment on the article based only on the headline like the GP did. Fine if you're responding to other people on other topics, but positing a straw man argument against your imagination of the article's contents without reading it, the comment will be rightly downvoted.

The guideline you posted is not the inverse, the guideline you posted is suggesting it's best to not make assumptions. Posting about the article content without viewing it is making assumptions.

> Sounds like you've never ridden a motorcycle? It's obvious on a motorcycle that you counter-steer all the way through a turn.

Once the turn has been initiated and you are in the turn, I don't believe you continue to counter-steer.

I think instead that once in a turn you feel a force trying to continue the front wheel deeper into the turn and you must maintain a counter force to prevent that. It seems unlikely that the front wheel is actually angled out away from the turn.

The short answer is that there are lots of people and lots of resources. It’s not going to hurt if some of those resources work on problems that you don’t think have a high priority.

I bet you can find plenty of people who aren’t working to solve any problems. Why don’t you berate them instead of someone who picked a problem that you think is less important.

Why is "running and growing a business" a good thing? I would say Microsoft is pretty good evidence that it's often harmful.

I've had the Pinebook 11.6'' since its initial release. It's been great for doing occasional server maintenance on-the-go.

A few tips:

- You can install an OS on the internal 16gb memory. Then swap in an SD card to run other OSes.

- Performance is not too bad if you run i3wm. And Firefox Quantum helps it out even further.

- I've yet to try this out (waiting on another SD card to come in the mail), but shadeslayer released an image for the pinebook that runs KDE with accelerated X11 & video playback support[0]. Which is pretty impressive if you know anything about Mali and the issue of closed-source binary blobs.

Always worth looking into. To my knowledge, previous studies have produced things like "these 600 genes are regulated in a particular way in patients who were diagnosed with Alzheimers", which is much less persuasive of an argument; the contribution power per gene is quite low in that case.

If you can conclusively say "these n<5 genes are exactly the things that make people 50% more likely to develop a disease", you're cooking with gas.

I'm sorry you worked with such shitty people. I have worked with such people in the past and I'm happy to have moved on. I personally find it hard to focus without headphones in that kind of space.

I can't really find much meaning in "aesthetic of a kindergarten or hipster daycare" though. People tend to fill hipster with an image of all the qualities they dislike in people. It's a modern scapegoat that has wide appeal because everyone thinks the other guy is the hipster. I think in a lot of peoples minds hipster means immature and facile which helps the reader to feel better about themselves as mature, dutiful and more deeply insightful. I'm sure you weren't using it so divisively but imo that is how it works.

What exactly was the space like?
Seriously. Maybe other places are different but Docker is quickly becoming as important to know as git if you want to be taken seriously in a job interview, at least. Our whole infrastructure is containerized and it's really nice. But it was build that way from the get go.
I bought a refurbished T410 from Ebay with an i7, discrete GPU and 1440x900 display, for like $250, and put a SSD in it.

The big limitations of this model are:

- Display has poor contrast

- Even with discrete GPU, worse performance than modern integrated graphics - it can drive 1080p monitors and play old and some indie games, not much more than that

- Max 8GB of RAM

- No USB 3 (but I have a USB 3 express card which works ok)

- Not great battery life - more recent CPUs are not THAT much faster but they are less power-hungry

Its upsides are:

- Classic thinkpad keyboard and clit mouse (if you're into that)

- Cheap, easy to find refurbished accessories (though I don't know for how much longer this will be true)

For my use (mostly development on Ubuntu), it works pretty well. For computation heavy stuff I remote into a 6-core Dell Precision I got refurbished for $400 (DDR3 ECC RAM is cheap as dirt).

Unless you have particular needs for high-perf CPU or GPU, or want extra-long battery life I'd buy a refurb and throw an SSD in it over buying a brand new laptop every time.

Which is essentialy short lived JIT provisioned containers on the back end.
People who say that the raspeberry PI is "bad" and "barely useable" say so because Ubuntu + Chrome + botnet social networking sites tend to slow your PI to a crawl.

If you configure i3, compton, and build your own distro from scratch WITHOUT ubuntu, then the rpi can actually be very fast and snappy for programming.

If this laptop is anything like the raspberry pi, then it will require LOTS of customization to get the OS to work right. But once it's configured just right and you stay away from botnet browsers and sites like FB and IG, then the pi is actually quite nice.

Honestly containers aren't that hard. Confusing if you haven't had to deal with how your software is actually deployed and managed in production operations. But you can read a book or follow a tutorial and get going in a few days. It doesn't require years of training.

You're comparing criminals to Bill Gates? Really? Some people can't be argued with when they make wild baseless claims.
This doesn't matter, PoW (achieving consensus through mining power) is becoming obsolete.

Ethereum is moving to a PoW PoS hybrid (Casper) which uses a lot less energy and so are most of the new cryptocurrencies.

It's possible that bitcoin will soon, too.
Good point, yet the value of other crypto currencies are correlated to bitcoin.

So what happens to bitcoin should impact the crypto market?

A Typical Truffle Specialization Pitfall
That was my immediate question, as leather is one of the most hard-wearing upholstery materials available. As far as price goes, at first blush I would imagine this would scale fairly well, at least much better than livestock.
Having your team's core communication tool go down and be hard to bring back up can be quite painful. So as a project, we put a lot of effort into release management to minimize the risk of that happening. I personally postmortem every report of an error when upgrading.

As a result, for most folks, installing a security/bugfix release Just Works with a few seconds of downtime. For a release like this one with 3000+ commits, dozens of database migrations, and tons of new features, our largest sites found it Just Worked with about a minute of downtime while the database migrations were running.

If you really care about availability like we do with zulipchat.com, it's possible to have downtime be seconds even with the database migrations, but that requires a bit more expertise on how Zulip works than we think it's fair to expect server administrators to learn, so we don't recommend that to most folks.

So the main downside in this space of self-hosting is that zulipchat.com runs very close to master, which in practice means you'll get new features on zulipchat.com first (though folks running their own server can always upgrade; you just end up on the hook for the work). On the flipside, self-hosting is better for i18n (since our volunteer translators generally make sure languages get to 100% around a release, but new strings may not get translated for weeks after the code gets into production on zulipchat.com).

If it's any comfort, electricity isn't all the same. It's more valuable if generated at the right place at the right time.

At some point, after hardware improvements plateau and competition heats up even more, this turns into a competition to find the cheapest electricity. In a ideal electricity market, this should be surplus electricity that's not used for any other purpose yet (wind farm not yet connected to the grid). Or perhaps generating bitcoin as a byproduct of electric heating? Any better use for electricity should result in higher prices that make Bitcoin mining unprofitable.

But before that happens, the electricity market would have to get a lot more rational, and externalities need to be fixed. For example, carbon pricing would ensure that bitcoin mining only uses clean power.

> Once the turn has been initiated and you are in the turn, I don't believe you continue to counter-steer.

Sounds like you haven't ridden a motorcycle? In a hard right turn, you will need to keep constant pushing pressure on the right handle (steering left) in order to stay in the turn.

And maybe you didn't follow the rest of my comment? Counter-steering doesn't mean your wheel is left of center during a right turn. It's referring to a change in turning radius. At all times. Yes, your wheel might be turned right during the stable lean angle of a right turn (or it might not) but "counter steering" is referring to when you change your turning radius. You always steer the opposite direction that you were steering before. If you're in a right turn and want to turn sharper, you steer the wheel left of wherever it is. If you're in a right turn and want to straighten out, you steer the wheel right of wherever it is. It doesn't matter where the wheel is, all that matters is which direction the change happens.

If you're in a stable lean with a constant turning radius, then your steering isn't changing, so I guess perhaps technically you're not counter-steering, because you're not steering? This is more confusing than clarifying, and not always true anyway. It's better to realize that the "counter" in counter steering is referring to the derivative, not the absolute value. It's referring to the change in steering, not the angle the wheel is turned.

> It seems unlikely that the front wheel is actually angled out away from the turn.

You might want to google gp moto pictures before making claims, you can find tons of images of racers in the middle of the turn with the wheel angled outward. For example: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dtCD63fKw58/maxresdefault.jpg

A bunch of those definitely look like "being a jerk" problems where the open office only drove a specific incarnation.

The tragedy of the commons part, though, looks like a structural problem to me. It's pretty common to want a discussion with 3-5 people for 5-10 minutes. With offices or even cubes, you can just have that in the workspace. With open plan, you either annoy everyone around you or book a conference room, which takes it away from standard users.

I'm not sure what anyone at the peon or even manager level can do about this, except try to keep meetings short or relegate them to slack/email. It really is a design issue.
