Thinkpads have already been mentioned but I also highly recommend the Dell Latitude, especially the 7490. They have fantastic keyboards, great battery life, and absolutely amazing displays (among the best 1920x1080 displays I have seen on a laptop). Plus they run many Linux distributions out of the box with minimal configuration.

If you live in the US or Europe I'd recommend the US/UK Dell Outlet. You can get a Dell Latitude in great condition (often like-new condition) for a nice deal, especially when they have their laptop promotions. I've had a good experience with their onsite service as well.
there is a good justification for running tar inside the container to implement copy. if you don't run code inside the container then the code outside the container would be used to implement the copy. in this case when code outside the container is tricked to read/write files the situation is still bad because it doesn't require tricking a higher privileged kubectl operator in order to escalate access. a lower privileged kubectl operator can read/write any file. depending on whether you have lower privileged kubectl operators this situation can be worse than the other situation.

it can be stopped by running the 'outside' code in the containers namespace (or writing correct code.). but this is tricky. if you use the containers pid namespace, then the container can inject into your process and you have the same problem. i believe this mistake has been made in the past. also, if you are using hypervisor based isolation then this is not an option.
My mother did not work while me and my siblings were growing. The time that we spend doing homework was not the funniest one, but it showed how important is school work to us. She will help us with our school work in the same way that she will help to prepare us for tests.

How can parents do that when work just burn them out? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19530479

And I am not in favor of forcing parents to stay at home. One of my mother more liberating moments was when she went back to work and got a salary for herself.

So, I do not know how good or bad is homework for children. But, I think that is an extra-burden for their parents that can have a negative effect in the children family.

"The rules governing the Internet allowed a generation of entrepreneurs to build services that changed the world and created a lot of value in people's lives."

Shouldn't "generation" be plural? It seems like he is being myopic, ignoring other generations of "entrepreneurs" that built the infrastructure upon which these "services" can run.
No treatment and just letting it as it is does not sound superior to western approach.
I'm not. It tells me I can't trust my phone company to reliably provide the internet access I pay them for: who knows what they'll try to block next? I made a complaint, and got a response that quoted the terms of use which say they can mess with traffic if they want to. I know that, and my position is they shouldn't half-assedly try to police content. So, I installed a VPN on my phone.
This is incredibly sad, but sounds plausible. Where can I read more about this thesis?

It's always difficult to remember one's mindset as a child.
Likely as not, I'm projecting my adult ideas on memories. That said..

I hated homework. I also rarely did it. I scribbled something between classes, copied and came empty handed. The whole thing put a strain on my relationship with teachers and school and general. I always identified with being a bad student, and I suspect homework may have been the root cause. I really don't think homework worked for me.

What I don't understand today, is why a 9 or 14-year old who spends 35 hours per week in a school needs homework? Is there really a need for an extra 3 or 10 hours per week? Surely, the quality of a kid's attention in the 7th or 9th-hour in a day isn't as good as their first. Is it that "everyone work on these math problems for 30m" isn't something that works in a classroom?

Adults have been complaining about after-hours work, in the age of laptops and smartphones. Why is it good for kids?

OTOH, exams and project work did work for me. With a Douglas Adams Crisis Inducer (a device that creates an artificial crisis situation of selectable severity, in order to sharpen the wits of the user), I could get 20 days of work into 1. I could sprint like a champ (and was proud of it) but I couldn't march. I'm still this way. I reckon schooling would have been a lot more effective for me personally if it was built around monthly exam or project watersheds, but I don't really know.

At the risk of cliche, we probably need more tailored/flexible education systems. Dunno though... "Create a system that educates every person" is a hard task. IDK how you'd do that. Relative to a lot of things at this kind of scale, education is very effective.

For me this is one of our flaws as society. When we like something we just continue with our lives. When there is something that we do not like we stop to say so.

One of the best learnings I got as a manager is to give positive feedback. So, employees know how much we appreciate their job, and that we see their value. And just that one time that it does not work out, I will give them feedback to improve.

But, I realize how little I have applied this with OSS and on-line in general. I rarely stop to say thank your for your comment, it was informative. Even, that I may donate some money I never stop to say thank you to the maintainers of OSS.

So, that's probably why you mainly hear complains and comments from seemly entitled people.

Thank you for sharing your experience it gave me a perspective to think about.

Homework is bad because for some kids it can be impossible - like what if you have to care for your younger siblings, or your home has no desk space or quiet place to work?

To be honest extending the school day would probably make the most sense as it would help working parents as well if children left school at 5pm or 6pm.

Surviving the Crypto Mordor – Startup to Grownups
I don’t think it’s about tools as much as culture - whether it’s a readme, a wiki or a chat log that’s not full of talk about the weather and scones (no, really), people have to be suitably incentivised to work that way. Something that isn’t a customer-deliverable (they aren’t going to directly care if you don’t record the weird business process that led to you implementing feature X the way you did; they don’t have a comparison which tells them that if it was recorded, changes could’ve been quicker/cheaper/less risky) is at risk of being cut as soon as there’s a hint of time pressure to get something out the door.

It’s coincidental that doing things in less of a “let’s all get in a room and talk about it for 3 hours” way should make keeping remote workers in the loop easier too.

Chromebooks with Crostini make for a good "second laptop". It is finally getting to the point where it is usable as my daily driver.

The main advantage is that in ChromeOS, things like Netflix and Hulu work at full resolution. And everything is touch optimized. Under Crostini, Linux apps are getting very well integrated.

Note, that there are still a few things that are in the works yet. I'm on the beta channel, and just got v74, which gives audio support to Linux apps. And 3d is still being worked out. (Audio in isn't in place yet though, for security reasons).

I also have a Thinkpad X1 Yoga, which so far has been 0 trouble with Linux (suspend/hibernate work as expected). The only thing that doesn't work is the fingerprint scanner. Thinkpads in general are fairly well supported, partly because many Red Hat developers carry thinkpads from what I've heard.
No, there won’t. Wages are rising for all levels of employees. Driving a vehicle without dealing with coworkers or a “boss” just happens to be something many, many people can do so as a supplier, you have tons of competition, therefore the prices you can charge are lower.

Work towards a position that requires you to be differentiated from others and see your ability to charge more go up.
I did not say otherwise.
Imbalance of the Platform Economy (60 most valuable platforms): europe
Yeah, my Thompson NFA uses codepoints for those reasons. But not in particularly smart way; mostly just to reduce space usage. It is indeed an annoying problem to deal with!
In my limited experience, I'm not sure it's an advantage.

You do get to break the ice faster during interviews and contacting new clients. But it can easily backfire as well: people will ask why "project X" is not up to their coding standards, why you didn't contribute to "X" and/or why "X" has not been fixed yet.

Not everybody seem to grasp this notion that these might not be professional products.

I often discuss with my friends that do not have any public projects to show off during interviews. It really doesn't seem to affect the outcome, unless the company in itself is interested in one of your projects (which is pretty rare considering the breadth of OSS).
International Relations Theory Doesn’t Understand Culture
Yes, we have multiple identities. It is not a lack of integrity.

"An identity is the set of meanings that define who one is when one is an occupant of a particular role in society, a member of a particular group, or claims particular characteristics that identify him or her as a unique person. For example, individuals have meanings that they apply to themselves when they are a student, worker, spouse, or parent (these are roles they occupy), when they are a member of a fraternity, when they belong to the Democratic Party, when they are Latino (these are memberships in particular groups), or when they claim they are outgoing individuals or moral persons (these are personal characteristics that identify themselves as unique persons). People possess multiple identities because they occupy multiple roles, are members of multiple groups, and claim multiple personal characteristics, yet the meanings of these identities are shared by members of society. Identity theory seeks to explain the specific meanings that individuals have for the multiple identities they claim; how these identities relate to one another for any one person; how their identities influence their behavior, thoughts, and feelings or emotions; and how their identities tie them in to society at large." - https://global.oup.com/academic/product/identity-theory-9780...
Couldn’t agree more. Homework was something I dreaded all the time. I skipped most of my homework whenever possible and my grades reflected it. For some odd reason I did well on tests, possibly by cramming the night before - a skill that did well by me through college. Doing well on tests got me by enough to get a 3.4 gpa through high school despite skipping most of my homework. When possible I did copy from other kids and sometimes did some assignments in class before the homework was to be turned in. I’d literally sit there writing things down in the 10 minutes before we were to hand in our assignments. My algebra teacher noticed this and just shook her head but seemed to be totally fine with it - I think deep down inside she knew there was too much homework.

> a decent place to go out (not the village pub where alcoholics waste their lives)

If you are in your early 20s and going out every night, then a village might suck. But I’m older now, and for the one or two times a week I meet friends, I just cycle down to the train station, put my bike on the train, and in an hour or so I’m in the city.

Even when I just want a coffee for myself, there is a small town nearby with two nice cafes. It’s not all alcoholics outside the big city.

> a decent school for your kids ... but not raise a family in a small village

Are you religious or something? The vast majority of my social circle either does not want children, or wants 1 child much later in life. So, no reason that such people who prefer a quiet life cannot spend at least a few years in the countryside now.

> There are not so many jobs where you can work from home, especially exclusive from home.

Romania might be the remote-working capital of Europe now. Coworking spaces are popping up like mushrooms after rain. Yes, not everyone can work remotely, but anyone who has a university education and who uses English a lot ought to at least consider becoming a freelancer, or applying at a Western European company that will let them work from home in RO.

I'd be interested in why this is such a sticking point and the language doesn't just evolve to accept this phrasing. American English seems to have accepted that you can end sentences with a preposition, or is that just my misconception?
