I'm pretty sure it's being kept fairly up to date since Redhat acquired it. Bear in mind that it's a RHEL clone so it's usually about as out of date as RHEL is - which is what we generally want in the infrastructure/telco/banking space because stability is preferred over shiny new features.
It's also really nice for signing git commits. I like it a lot.

modern wooden frame houses with good insulation are very efficient at keeping heat/moisture where it needs to be kept. I am in the process of building new house and recently had same research - build like we used to build house where I am from (eastern europe, brick and mortar) or use something everybody is doing. turned out that this stick frame structure with foam insulation is actually much more efficient.

Attached garages are typically is separated from the rest of the house conditioning space. I do insulation of the garage, but only because I plan to work there. Plus water heater I am installing is actually heat pump, so it should cool garage down a bit.
Yes, at those levels it's basically a tossup between private jet and premium first class.
It could also be optical (various LEGO computers have optical sensors and timers).
Drones would likely not be cheaper than AAM.

Right. In a way, that's part of the point. AAM are constrained to me munitions. They are expensive, but need to be far cheaper than the aircraft they are launched from, because the missiles are meant to be expended and the aircraft is meant to return. Swarms of suicide drones running tactics of area denial could be made at many different levels of capability and expense.

make mute

(Make moot.)

Flying IEDs is a lot easier to imagine than an F-22/35 killer (that are in the air, at least).

AAM are already flying explosive devices. Drones might well still carry AAMs, but be able to operate in a "mutual destruction" mode, sacrificing themselves to make a shot on a more expensive aircraft. AI programmers for fighter drones might well build in economic decisions. "Suicide for the kill, but only when the target is more expensive than yourself."
This raises an interesting question, relevant for more than cooking: In a process with variable "inputs" , is there a method(probably statistical) to create a recipe that will work,even with this variability, while minimizing the expertise needed ?
The wall between the garage and the house is considered an exterior wall, and is insulated the same as the other ones.

Wooden construction does not inhibit insulation. Probably the opposite. It's easier to insulate the voids between studs than it is to insulate a masonry structure. Plus, "stick" building is almost a requirement for seismic reasons in California.

As far as the windows are concerned, I can't tell from the video if they're single glazed or not. Seems crazy to me to do any new construction with those.
My phone locks after a while of inactivity. if I have to unlock the phone, then it wouldn't be zero touch, right?

I use for SSH, but yea I agree it could be better. I just got a Yubikey which I plan to replace Krypton daily and have it as a backup
I think your company may have been advertising a "benefit" in a disingenuous manner. In CA we pay into a state disability fund (SDI), from which you can draw for maternity/paternity leave, sort of like unemployment insurance. You can only draw on the SDI if you pay into it, and it's unavailable to you if your employer pays some maximum portion of your salary (for example, I was ineligible because I was paid during my leave). It sounds like they were trying to pull a fast one on CA residents and hoping nobody was paying attention.
I feel like these tools very much go against the Unix philosophy of "Write programs that do one thing and do it well". They try to do the pretty user interface and the underlying operation in a single tool.

I prefer PowerShell in this respect where the output of each command is not text streams (as in the Unix world) but objects which can be operated on in a more object oriented way. You spend less time thinking about text parsing and more time thinking about the data you're working with.

I think the command line is great as a way of manipulating data streams but it is incredibly lacking as a user interface. There is very little consistency of the interface between commands and new commands and options aren't easily discoverable.

A phrase I came up with that I like more than "T-shaped" is "molecular skillset". A chemist would probably laugh at me but I think of it as developing seemingly independent skills (molecules <--> skills, experience, knowledge...) that end up forming bonds with other skills, sometimes in surprising ways, that together prove really powerful and can bond up even further. "T" and other tree/tendril-ish shapes are then just special cases of different bond arrangements. You can acquire skills haphazardly (though as a serial dabbler I'd caution against actively pursuing the dabbler's path without a ton of introspection), you can also take the efficient road like a university sequence where most skills are visible and have unsurprising connections to the next skills. You might have to take some seemingly unrelated course too, but you can look at those optimistically as another potential source of surprising bonds. Duds are of course possible -- I have some useless things in my brain that I don't think will ever connect with anything useful, at best they might aid in social signaling one day. (A lot of education is just signaling to show you can talk about a lot of stuff...)

Trivial example: at some point around age 17 I installed Gentoo successfully and learned a lot about gnu/linux (and some bsd) in the process. Lots of little skills formed and connected, and they continue connecting with other things to this day. Got my initial hook on vim then. Saw how nicely colorized my terminal prompt was and that opened the door to many bash customizations. One of the skills I had to learn was to understand how hard drives worked (at least to the ability to successfully partition, format, and boot them -- I did accidentally wipe a windows xp partition the first time). Some years later (age 20?) I had accidentally rm'd a couple weeks of java work without having committed it yet. But prior knowledge of the system let me know the data was still there, and I was able to recover it by scanning the disk device partition directly for the bytes. (Ended up using "grope.tcl" referenced here http://wiki.yak.net/592 which was a lot more efficient than what I was making.)
Elonrail responsibilities are to offer a good negotiation position for themselves. It's up to the city to counteroffer, say....:

1. Burying slightly deeper to accommodate larger building for the future.
2. Demolish the "test rail" after the "test" is proven to work.
3. Expand the rail after success is proven to accommodate a larger attendance

Elonrail/boring company is happy with the success of the test's outcome, the boring company will use this test as propaganda to further their goals and build larger projects, the boring company will not mind tearing down (or grandiosely upgrading) their tunnel with the new contracts it receives, and in the meantime: the region makes money from the project in the process.
What would be the numerical impact of those efficiency gains (accounting for the cost of manufacturing new units to replace less efficient ones that may work just fine)
Depends on your order volume. Sure an oversized heap may work for low order volume, but if you're dealing with high volume, even hundreds of gigabytes of RAM isn't even for a trading day.

And yeah, we restart everyday (we only trade US equities, so plenty of downtime for a restart).
Yep [1]! It's pretty damn impressive, but it's by no means a complete list of the data Chicago stores. Which is where FOIA comes into the picture. According to Chicago's (ex) Chief Data Officer, they also have a fairly routine process of scraping through Chicago's FOIA requests for gauging interest for new datasets. In other (somewhat naive) words - the more data-like FOIA requests that Chicago receives, the more open data will be made available.

On a similar note, federal FOIA has some built-in "proactive disclosure" language that makes information publicly available after it's been requested more than three times, or is likely to be requested often or with interest. Not an expert on this piece by any means, but it's something to consider when thinking about open data portals and the like.

Also, check out Data USA's (exceptionally bloated) data portal [2], which includes a lot of data throughout portals throughout the US.

I don't think this was a bug; I think the issue was that htop uses needed something in task_for_pid that required root.

The Google bus actually has something in common with this tunnel nonsense. Both are private enterprises. Google could have given money to expand the city bus network instead of running private buses. Elon could work with the LA public transport companies, but he is choosing not to.

The thing about contributing to public goods is that it benefits everybody. The problem with building private solutions is that even-if it has some public good (e.g. replacing many cars with one bus) it still creates an us-vs-them situation where mere mortals cannot take advantage of the Google bus.
ag is made to search code specifically. grep is a more general purpose text search tool and better suited (imho) for handling data (in contrast to code). Also, it’s always installed. I’ve never been on a machine with ag unless if I’ve installed it myself.
Any good alternatives to TripAdvisor?

What about:
- Conde Nast [www.condenast.com]
- TripSavvy [www.tripsavvy.com]
This made me chuckle, because it's incredibly accurate. I started with bash and am still naturally more comfortable there for general purpose work. PowerShell is annoyingly verbose sometimes and has its own WTF moments, but there are waaay fewer surprises when working with complex scripts and variables.

> So that it's a "real production issue" for them is irrelevant.

I respectfully disagree.

If it was truly irrelevant, it didn't need to be brought up in the first place.

But it was, and it's what made me believe that the other person was trying to solicit for a security expert to solve a production problem for them without an invoice being involved. It was relevant to my interpretation.

They insist they didn't mean it that way, and I believe them, but it was still relevant.

Whether or not it was relevant in the comment I replied to, it became relevant once it was entered into the discussion.

You can call that "uncharitable" if you want. I don't really have a horse in that race.
Money. Space for a “gym” means space with no one it for take off and landing: so that’s an immediate drop in passengers. Similar issues for “bunks”. For it to work they would have to be bunks for the entire flight. That means you probably can’t use them for short haul flights (so your plane is less useful in general), you gain accessibility issues (people who can use seats may not be able to climb into upper level bunks. This is ignoring whether a bunk would be comfortable - you’re going to be constrained for movement (basically to retain passenger count there has to still be 1:1 bed->seat conversion, so beds would be as wide as a chair, and you’d need 3-4 levels of beds).

Then there’s safety - how quickly can you get out of your bed in an emergency is one thing, but how do you also ensure that no one stands on anyone while getting out, etc
>If I had a reliable aggregator I hope to reduce my FOMA style addiction.

Frankly, you are merely feeding that addiction. Treat the fear, don't placate it. This becomes easier as the years go by. After you spend a lot of time tracking something (news, Reddit, whatever), do the following exercise:

1. Write down how much it benefited you. You (hopefully) will be able to list a few ways it really helped you. That is what is keeping you addicted. Now try to come up with a marginal value over time. Yes, you benefited a lot, but what did you gain out of it per hour?

2. Look at those around you who are not addicted. How are they disadvantaged by not receiving the gains you outlined in step 1? Are they living a less content or full life? Now re-evaluate all those benefits you listed. What did they do for you (and for your mental well being)?

3. What have you been missing out on because of your addiction? Once your life gets busy (job, parenthood, whatever), then everything has an opportunity cost. What valuable activities could you be partaking in if you didn't feed the addiction?

As a former news junkie, my (perhaps unpopular) perspective: Spending only 15 minutes a day on the news will leave you quite misinformed. There isn't a path of moderation here. It takes a lot of effort to understand and follow current events. You need to read multiple sources, as well as multiple perspectives (for a very simplistic example: 3-5 sources from a liberal perspective, and 3-5 sources from a conservative perspective - for each issue, and assuming there are only 2 sides).

This is very time consuming. Spending 15 minutes a day just populates your mental models with poor information. The alternative is to stop and spend time on other activities. That way you know clearly what you don't know, and at least still have an open mind.
It’s rarely you; taxes transfer wealth.
Each F-35 costs about $100M now. When you want to compare the entire project scope, you should also account for how many planes have been planned to build. Because that $1.5T number includes purchases and lifetime expenses. About 3000 planes and decades of use.

Strictly measuring the R&D places the program at $50B. A price tag that includes making virtually 3 kinds of planes for more than a dozen operators.

So when you say its cost $1.5T, then try to point to alternatives, I'd have to ask, which other alternative planes have had 3000 constructed and then operated over the course of its life in the past 2 decades? What exactly are you trying to compare that $1.5T number to?

Do you want to compare this to the Rafale, of which there are only 150?

To use a metaphor:

I went out and bought 10 bags of apples for $100, but that guy only needed to spend $10 for his bag of oranges.
Then compare EU against US states individually - I'd wager the US result will drop significantly when you average the per capita results by state.
The last time I was in Florida in August, I was sweating in shorts and a t-shirt. I can't imagine trying to commute to a job that requires a suit.
Choosing Ruby on Rails is not a technical decision
As someone who has lived in both So Cal and the Midwest, I can confirm this.

In So Cal, I didn't have A/C for 10+ years and rarely used the heater (a desktop computer can double as a heater haha).

In the midwest, the A/C or heater is on pretty much 24/7 because even when the temperatures look favorable, there is humidity.
Sure, it still doesn't change that households really can't do much and it's very expensive (and IMO stupid) to put it on the consumer. Instead, make rules for the companies that are much easier concentrating efforts there.

Can’t help but think that spite factored in significantly in the decision. There’s a row that conflates “applicant’s history in complying with city regulations” with “applicant’s experience in operating and maintaining shared mobility systems”. Bird, Lime, and Spin all got “poor” for this row, even though they obviously have experience operating and maintaining such a system.
> With no way to validate that the source code on Github is what ends up in their compiled binaries, I don't see the value to anyone.

Really strange to see the negative comments. My favorite thing about TripAdvisor is that I feel empowered when I have a terrible experience at a venue. I can just go leave them a crappy review. It's very cathartic.

Also, I find most of the reviews to be generally accurate. It sounds like other people disagree with that which is strange. I've never used TripAdvisor to find a restaurant or a hotel and then felt like the reviews were faked.
That hasn't been my experience at all. Our new Bosch dishwasher is exceedingly more effective than the water-guzzler it replaced.

In America, there is a perception that our self-worth is dependent on our jobs. To you, fossil fuels are filthy and environmentally dangerous (they are). To those who work in the industry, it's a way of supporting themselves, their families, and it's a craft (and associated skills) they might be proud of (roughnecks on an oil field, product pipe installers/maintainers, coal/steam/natural gas installers/maintenance techs/operators).

So, like all issues, it's not black and white, but many shades of gray. Our jobs are not who we are, and we need systems in place to help transition those who are in industries that are harmful and in their sunset period to industries that have a future, while ensuring these new jobs provide enough compensation that people can live.

Include Boeing and Airbus planes into that too. Include helicopters. All of it is a time consuming and expensive thing to do. We are not riveting metal together and putting piston engines in fighters anymore.

In my experience as a former news junkie, it is very unlikely a "good enough" source exists. Spend enough time following and understanding the news (in detail - hours per week), and then when you look at curated news, you'll see all the flaws in them.

You'll see their bias in their curation. You'll read a piece from it and, because of your experience, will have many questions pop up in your head, which will tell you that the piece is missing crucial information. Etc.
Depends. If that nice seat takes up 10x the space of an ecomony seat, it better cost at least 10x as much. Otherwise, the economy class cabin would be subsidizing the first class cabin. As prices ebb and flow, surely this does sometimes happen.

If it gets stolen, and the thief is actually trying to take over your accounts, then the process of proving that you are the rightful owner is probably easier if you have the key than if the thief has both the laptop and the key.

POIs like the airport and entertainment venues are perfect for the Metro because they cause huge traffic jams, there is very little parking, and the added convenience for occasional riders would increase overall ridership. Metro for commuters is great, but what about everybody else? If you want people to take the Metro, go where they want to go. I don't use the Metro for commuting but would use it to go the the airport or ball game to avoid traffic and parking.
Just one gripe: I absolutely do not think it's a good idea to have zero-touch ON by default.

I understand their argument about security vs. usability for laypeople as it's an age old one, but I think that applies better to situations where there's a marked tradeoff in principle.

Tapping just once or reaching for one's phone doesn't detract from usability. Quite the contrary, it's a common sense approach (and teaches common sense security posture) to give one's explicit agreement for authentication, U2F or otherwise.

Otherwise, the intended user base that zero-touch seems to target may end up being the same folks that question why it didn't work out of the box to protect their logins when their laptop gets physically compromised; since they assumed they didn't have to "understand or care about the differences between two-factor, U2F, or web authentication" in the first place, to quote the FAQ.
Does anyone honestly buy into the idea that this is something other than a back door, carefully plotted by certain nation-state actors?

I own two <1 year old VW Polos - one with a 1.2L TSI(small turbo) "Bluemotion" engine, another with a 1.0L MPI(naturally aspirated) engine. The 1.2TSI is much more efficient on paper, but guess which one gets far better milage in real life? Bingo - the 1.0L MPI unit. I frequently get >50mpg on longer journeys in that car, while the 1.2TSI is more like 35-40mpg.
