Does it call OpenVPN a risky server? Why?

It's amazing sometimes how much EVE mimics real life. I used to know a guy that ran a bank there.

My little brother used to be really into it, eventually leading fleets during fights, and he credits that experience with giving him the skills he needed to manage teams at an IT company.
> The issue is that large companies can free-load off open source projects and make millions while contributing nothing back to the developers.

That by itself is not necessarily a problem. There's lots of people using open source software without contributing back, and lots of open source contributors completely fine with it.

The problem, the one that Commons Clause appears to try to solve, is when the "freeloading" companies also threaten the viability of the company supporting the project. For example, if a project is developed by a company financing itself through providing commercial support for that project, then that only works if that company is the main player that companies in need of commercial support would go through (e.g. Canonical, Red Hat).

Okay, that's much more nuanced than "dQ/dt = 0 always".
I do wish they would do something about that loop where you hit 'q' and are recording a macro and escape won't work and you can't quit.
I totally agree here. Every time Microsoft roll out a new product or feature, it seems they go out of their way to make it as complex as possible.

A lot of their server side products have weird restrictions or integrate with their other products in strange ways. Nothing is standardised, or simple.

For example, I'm in the middle of a project that needs to log audit data from a front-end service. The service isn't that busy, so doesn't really log that much, however the reporting interface only works with System Center. So to build out the reporting infrastructure I need: 2x System Center Service Manager Management Servers, and 2x System Center Service Manager Data Warehouse Servers, and 2x SQL Servers in a live-sync arrangement. That's six servers, three in each Datacenter. Four of which need 16Gb of RAM. The Management Servers do hardly any work, but due to an artificial restriction placed in the installer, you cannot install them on the same boxes as the Data Warehouse component. Even if you could, MS wouldn't support it.

All this to log no more than 100-200 events a day. To do the reporting any other way, is unsupported. It's nuts. I am starting to believe that Microsoft are now deliberately making their products so complex and so expensive to build on premises, in order to push customers into their Cloud platforms instead. This is certainly true of Exchange Server which is now an absolute nightmare to manage on premises. It's a mail server, why is it so complex?!

To be honest, it wouldn't surprise me if even internal Microsoft product designers and engineers no longer understand how most of the Microsoft server products even work or integrate.

And I say all this as someone who's spent 25 years working with Microsoft products as my day job.

I think it's worth mentioning WordPress who have managed to successfully maintain an open source version whilst building their own cloud offering to profit from. Many other cloud services provide WordPress as a service, but WordPress are still able to maintain multiple streams of revenue through 'official' WordPress hosting.
No, all it requires is that "file and print sharing" is turned on and accessible. Windows has a default, hidden share "Admin$" which is used for this (just as "c$" exists as a share even if you don't explicitly share anything)

A lot of full time bullshit jobs become this way because of the full-time 9-to-6 requirement. These jobs usually don't justify a full time position by themselves so it leads to people making up work and responsabilities to justify the job's existence. ie : a designer without assignment pushing an unneeded graphical revamp to avoid being laid off, a manager pushing new features which has almost no use to seem busy etc

> All high-level programming languages are on board with abstractions, pretty much by definition!

They all provide abstractions, but they're not necessarily on board with letting users build new abstractions. Go is famously absolutely not on board with it for instance. Elm significantly less so — and I think the more restricted use-case also makes the issue significantly less problematic, at least it was in my (admittedly limited) experience — but it's still way downslope from the likes of Haskell or OCaml.
So basically it mirrors journalism and reporting in real life?
The absolutely unacceptable thing is C still not having standard (optional) SIMD syntax. It at least finally got atomics.

But wait, that's not portable to Keil so you cannot use that ;)

The reaction is, if you dislike fast but non standard code, push for standardization of those features, not begrudge developers for doing the right thing and using them.
Because most models are trained from files, which store in RGB. Using raw sensor format would make sense for inference, but if your model is created for RGB, why bother.

Now rather than take responsibility for the operational failure, the organization blames a vendor for not providing free additional services.

Anima seems really cool and ambitious; modernizing design <-> code seems like an obvious necessity and next step to modernize workflows in the front-end.

My prediction would be that, if successful, this would empower designers and commoditize front end developers (or optimistically, let them focus on more complex logic)

Good luck to the team.
On the other hand, a positive 10 degree global increase will include regions where water freezes regularly. This will either completely change the climate of those regions, or would mean that temperature swings in the rest of the world will increase much higher to compensate.

> The ROC has declared not just independence, but sovereignty over all of China. This... does not meaningfully reflect reality.

To be fair, the PRC claims over the territory controlled by the ROC are just as ridiculous as the corresponding claims made by the ROC over lands controlled by the PRC. (Arguably the PRC claims are crazier, since they have _never_ controlled Taiwan, Kinmen, etc.)

The ROC is as much a legitimate government over its territory as the PRC is of its territory. To believe otherwise requires some seriously twisted historical revisionism.

That's a bit harder for Redis though, because to keep latency down you want it running in your cloud, not somewhere 10's of ms away.

Sure Redis could run clusters in every cloud provider's DCs, but then they're paying for the cloud like anyone else and costs increase.
Universal Orlando has their own in house pizza that’s totally branded differently and they even throw flyers under the hotel room doors to make it look like a local chain. Thing is, it’s actually pretty decent pizza and the price isn’t too bad either. In their case I think most people have caught on to theme park resort pizza being awful so branding was essential.
I'm not an expert on the subject either, but I believe they Taiwanese government is in a stalemate with China over Taiwan's "Republic of China" title. Taiwan can't get it's own seat as a country in the UN because of the "China" in its title. On the other hand, any attempt to remove China from its title would provoke China. China would see it as a gesture towards independence and sovereignty. Some fear China would react with hostility in that case. Some anti-independence Taiwanese see it as the best way to keep the peace.
Setup can still be a bit annoying.

If I imagine the average PC gamer, I don't think they would be able to troubleshoot any problems. Once you get into setting up storage pools (libvirt) or having to edit the libvirt XML file (want to have host native Audio?) and of course installing all those drivers for optimal performance (digging up the correct CD image and mounting it is not trivial either.

I highly doubt that this is this the case.

>The fact is Microsoft delivered an ssh-like scripting capability that cannot do simple things like updating the OS

If you measure PowerShell by its ability to perform OS updates then you are correct, it is a failure. But the fact is that this annoyance isn't caused by the shell being half baked but rather it is an API decision of a different, unrelated product. The shell provides great usability in all other aspects - that is, the whole OS and other Microsoft and 3rd party software.

>The whole idea of bullshit jobs is based on people's own assessment of their work? You should really ask the people paying their salary whether the job is useful or not since they are the ones paying for it.

I agree with you that the self-assessment will contain some false positives. That's pretty much inevitable.

Assume for a second there are a lot of bullshit jobs. There could be two types of bosses paying for this. The ones that understand it's bullshit and still have a reason to employ the person (e.g. keeping the budget/headcount/department size high in a bureaucratic setting in order to cement their power), then there might be a lot of bosses who don't understand enough of what their underlings are doing and pay them because they believe they contribute value even if they don't. The incentive for the employee is not to cause big waves because they have a family to feed, a house to pay off, etc.

I believe there are jobs that are at least a big part bullshit. In small companies they usually get weeded out quickly, but as soon as you have some kind of large bureaucracy (military or large company), you have a lot of people hiding.

From my experience in large companies there are:

a) A lot of people who are completely out of their element and don't contribute because they don't understand their job. They keep their job, because they don't cause big waves and are not on the radar of their bosses, or because of employment laws making it a too big hassle to fire them (especially true in unionized companies in Europe). Their position isn't useless, but they're useless.

b) People that are good at their job and only need maybe 5-10h a week to complete their task. However they want to get paid, so they sit there for the full 40h week. They will probably see their own job as useless, while they do actually contribute as much as the mediocre people doing overtime. So they're technically not useless, but they could do a lot more, or work a lot less and earn the same money, but because the system doesn't allow this, they're stuck in a situation which causes bore out.

c) people doing actually useless work (like described in the article).

Government work must be even worse.
It's a connected world, and people benefit from being near other people. Also all that isolation-support tech is imported...

> According to international treaties there can only be one China.

This statement is a little odd. Both the PRC and the ROC refuse to have diplomatic relations with any government that has diplomatic relations with the other. (A policy started by the ROC by the way, but now clearly is pushed more strongly by the PRC.) However, there is no legal reason why a country couldn't have relations with both the PRC and the ROC. They are simply two different countries with a border dispute. The fact that both their official names have China in them is entirely irrelevant.

But yes it's good for people to keep in mind that the PRC is usually colloquially referred to as China and the ROC is usually referred to colloquially as Taiwan (often to the consternation of ROC citizens in other ROC-controlled islands like Kinmen). Keeping in mind that these are two different countries makes statements made by their respective governments easier to understand.

Re. 1, that's a fair point. For what it's worth, the blog post does explicitly promise, in writing, that Redis itself will remain BSD-licensed forever. Take that for what you will, since I certainly don't have any more info on their intentions than you do (and probably would be prohibited from talking about it if I did), and you have no reason to trust me any more than the blog. I believe a written commitment under a company's official domain should at least have some legal weight, though IANAL.

Re. 2, I /personally/ believe the BSD-licensed Redis itself will continue to be developed and improved as before, but I hope you appreciate why I'm being very cautious about what I say. I'm not really positioned or authorized to make any statements on behalf of Redis Labs.

Can you give specific examples of startups they have funded that became unicorns?

This really sums up on how I design a website from scratch. I get more details when I get to do it by just sketching. Web design is also like an art, you have to draw it first. Plus, you get even more chance of artistic view out of it, in your own way. Then go out and browse some web inspiration about your decided niche this sure saves a lot of time.
That's not the kind of sim I was thinking about. That's the case because the rules of your sim precisely replicate real life and that's the only point of it. You're "playing" following a very clear rule book. And they are still "real life", you are not put in a virtual training/learning environment where you write the rule book and can expect mistakes to have 0 consequences.

The question was what if the simulation didn't replicate real life? What if you were expected or requested to do more by being told "it's a simulation and your ONLY goal is to win". It's GTA, Counter Strike, StarCraft, etc. Would knowing the person you just ran over while trying to win is a real person that just died or that you sent a real squad of marines to die so you can save one tank change your decisions? It's a hypothetical exercise, just like the Ender story.

My main point is that even if you're trained to kill in real life the decisions you take in a sim with "fictitious" rules and scenarios can't be considered a breach of morality.

Anyway, there is no justice or real consequences even for mistakes made in real life when it comes to the military. As evidence stands the mountain of innocent civilian victims. And to make the parallel with real life, Ender is not a soldier, he's a general. And just like in real life a decision that costs millions of lives on any side can still be rewarded with medals, glory, fame, as long as you're on the winning side.
It luckily has nothing to do with Cedegas approach :)
Mostly the second, you should check what you're downloading and executing. But a server can send two different files on two similar requests, ans perhaps it sends you a "good" file when you view it in your browser and a malicious file when downloading it via wget.

When piping, there is a well-known trick how the server can detect the difference even disregarding stings like the user agent header, but that trick doesn't work when you do $(wget ...). But I won't guarantee there isn't some other trick that can be performed.

9 estrategias para que tus reuniones sean muy eficaces
The article says "The reason the early developers at OpenCV chose BGR color format is that back then BGR color format was popular among camera manufacturers and software providers. E.g. in Windows, when specifying color value using COLORREF they use the BGR format 0x00bbggrr.". So it claims that both camera engineers and software used BGR. I'm not convinced though - the Win32 macro to create a COLORREF is RGB(r,g,b), and there are 3 macros to get the R, G and B components out of a COLORREF. Until today I've never realized that a COLORREF stores its components in BGR order, and I've done Win32 graphics programming for 20 years. I think it has more to do with that the 'original' graphics-oriented architectures (SGI workstations and such) were big endian (for no particular reason, probably, although people have come up with retrofact rationalizations probably), and everyone just used that. Some 'standards' don't need a reason, someone just needs to make a choice and everyone else should just stick with it...
