Commodity resins are used to replace metals, and in structural parts all the time. Much of it comes down to part design, filler selection, etc.

For example, glass-filled polypropylenes are used all the time as metal replacements in vehicles (injection molded), even in some structural applications, depending on the exact demands.

Nylon is a pretty good structural material, especially glass-filled or talc-filled depending on abrasion resistance and rigidity required.

I don't have experience with the very expensive stuff (PEEK, etc) though, as usually that's much more expensive than the metal and doesn't confer many benefits except in pretty high end applications.
Like so many things in life, it depends.

SystemD did not invent cgroups. Not only is it possible to use cgroups without systemd it is often easier for small cases and binaries can call cgroups themselves for any child processes they create.

The timing of these systems releasing does not equate to causation here. Google themselves (creators of cgroups) do not even use systemd on their own hypervisors which leverage cgroups heavily.

> you are not listening or being are deliberately obtuse

Any time you find yourself writing something like that, ask whether you’ve done a good job explaining your point first. In this case, you’ve been vague about everything except that you think systemd is the source of your non-deterministic behavior.

From what little information you’ve provided, it really sounds like the problem is a combination of blaming the init system for things which happen outside of it (i.e. processes hanging) and not learning how to use it. For example, launching a networked process under cron at boot with no retry mechanism has always been a problem because cron never guaranteed networking. Using the init system would have avoided that - even on SysV.

As far as how to discover it goes, fault tolerance has lots of edge cases — e.g. try mounting NFS and firewalling the server, `kill -STOP` a daemon with a clean shutdown process, reboot without a network or DNS (i.e. like you’d have during a facilities outage), etc. — but most of it comes down to learning to work with the way the distribution is intended to be used: use the init system (whatever it is) to launch processes, enable automatic restarts for everything, configure full dependencies on everything you need, etc.

Note that none of that depends on systemd - you can get better results on everything this way, but if you do it you’ll probably gain a better understanding the systemd developers made the choices they did. If you really can’t figure out how to be comfortable with it, switching to a distribution which doesn’t use it will be much better than fighting it and getting angry when the developers don’t support hammering a screw.

In my mind this is the key... a way to frequently and conveniently do a full body scan so that anomalies can be detected via the delta. Scanning and detection is a problem that likely could be tackled via machine learning.

I'm hoping it's not too long before a method is developed where a low res MRI like scan is feasible at home (e.g. using radio or ultrasound).

Done on a regular basis the system could detect anomalies like the appearance or enlargement of a growth inside the body.

I don't think 'we want to sell your information for money' would be considered a necessary part of whatever webservice/website you offer, given that you could choose a different way to monetize it. Thus you need consent, but clearly the situation you present does not meet the definition of 'freely given. But I hope we will soon see this issue being decided in court.
Interesting.

I think you want something like Envoy in the middle to actually terminate TLS (you can still use TLS to talk to the backends, of course) and do the load balancing. Having one backend handle one HTTP/2 connection does not necessarily balance load, anyway. With Envoy in the middle, you can again load-balance requests as though they were independent connections; if a browser has an HTTP/2 connection open that wants 10 expensive things, Envoy can use 10 backends to handle that request, rather than sending 10 expensive requests to 1 backend.

The statistics and traces you get for free are also very worthwhile, not to mention more advanced things like automatic retries, canarying, outlier detection, circuit breaking, etc.
Sure. That wasn't in favor of systemd, though? I comfortably write code against the GNU userland and I use systemd where it crops up. Just not a big deal to me; if somebody wanted to use my stuff elsewhere I'd just say "pull requests welcome!". I found the inconsistency striking, that's all.

> Baby boomers aren't forcing young folks to like living in cities more than suburbs.

Young people can only afford overpriced apartments because jobs have steadily migrated to cities, they don't have the credit or capital to afford a house and car in the suburbs, they're overburdened with debt and rising costs of living, not paid accordingly, and well-paying jobs for the lower and middle class are more scarce. Oh, and media conglomerates and advertising have been repeating since before they were born that what they really want is only found in glamorous cities.

> They're not forcing young folks to want to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on mediocre private universities when reasonably priced state universities exist

That's all they've ever heard. "You have to go to college. You have to go to the best college. You can go to the best college, you'll just be in debt for 30 years once you do. Don't worry, here's a thing we invented in the 70s called a credit card."

The situation is vastly more complicated than people appreciate. Because you can have people who:

Know their value and are being taken advantage of.
Don't know their value and are being taken advantage of.
Know their value and aren't being taken advantage of.
Don't know their value and aren't being taken advantage of.

Not to mention the cases where the employer isn't aware of the value their employee is providing and would adjust their compensation if they were aware.
Or the employee is taking advantage of the employer.
Or many other things I haven't thought of.

I don't understand the mindset that the simple existence of a disparity means that someone is being taken for a ride.

That works well for law firms because law firms are built on human capital. How do you accomplish this with capital-intensive heavy industry such as automobile manufacturing?

If your plant is worth a billion dollars and you have 1000 employees, do you charge a new worker ~$1 million to "buy their seat?" And if so, how do you prevent an outside investor from "sponsoring" the million-dollar buy-in for multiple employees, in exchange for a cut of their wages (in effect, duplicating the capitalism we have right now)?

The above model situation is more-or-less identical to what you see with taxicab medallions in big cities like New York. There are taxicab companies who buy multiple medallions (at great cost) and rent them to drivers, contradicting our usual expectation that taxicab drivers are self-capitalized entrepreneurs.
That doesn't even sound feasible, to be honest- humanity currently needs plastic for a billion medical things, for one- and if you outlaw extraction, then another company will go "gee, thanks!", open the valves, charge more, and make a ton of money.

How much time did it take you to actually learn enough to become competent?

I've looked at the mathematics needed - after that it seems like figuring out the main 'ideas' and then just picking one of a dozen frameworks in which to become very familiar.

But unless I want to 'fake it until I make it', seems like it would take a good year or two, possibly with two semesters of grad school for both math and the machine learning, to really learn it as it wasn't something I learned at all undergrad or previous jobs.

If you are unable to see the value in influencers (from a business perspective) it would simply suggest you are part of a segment that aren't engaged by them.

I've lived in multiple open-concept homes. They can be done well. But in many ways, I've come to see an open concept layout as an inefficient use of space.

There are two factors:

- Area / Perimeter ratio. If a room is too large, it's tough to use space efficiently. In open-concept rooms, there is limited space on the walls for traditional bookcases, art, buffet tables, etc. Of course you can still use the space, but you can usually fit more furniture when you have more walls (up to a point, then the inefficiency swings the other way).

- Privacy. Depending on how many people live in your house, a single large room may not offer enough privacy and noise exclusion as a day to day living space. Therefore, even if you have an open layout, you usually also want other more private and cozy rooms (e.g. a separate family room or den).

My conclusion is that an open layout is fine, but shouldn't be the be-all and end-all public living space in your home. If you have a 2k+ square foot house with an open layout and another separate living space, I think most people will be happy with that. For a single person/couple, having the extra living space might not be needed.

IIRC precomposed hangul syllables are in Unicode[0]( although I'm not sure if the precomposed characters are the canonical form or not) so you would likely apply the same functions on the precomposed hangul block as you you would for basic latin.

> These are solutions for problems I don't have.

Good for you. But event handling is something that many systems today do need and I think we should try to optimize for the common use case.

As for you not needing logind/consolekit, sure, if security is not a concern on a system, they're not needed, but again, that's not true for most systems.

GNOME etc. also don't really have a hard dependency on systemd, they depend on logind, which does not necessarily require systemd and indeed GNOME ships on Gentoo, Void etc.

It's also not like the GNOME devs are stupid and got tricked into depending on logind or something. Mo, it solves real problems for them, so they depend on it. Why is this hard to grasp?

So I have been putting together a way for people to more easily make their own blogging platform. It would kind of mimic a social media platform, but since everything is committed to a repository using the JAMstack it could easily be converted to a full website or in your case you could simply delete the repository or any number of your posts because they are just files in your repository. Any feedback would be wonderful. https://your-media.netlify.com/post/make-your-own-media/ Everything is owned by the end user. This is only providing a recipe for people to use.
I will also mention that https://www.stackbit.com/ is doing basically the same thing but more from a “Make life easier for Website designers” perspective.
It would be really nice if publishers created "Humble Bundles"of PRINTED books. Sure, I love my Kindle, but reading development-related texts as ebooks or PDFs is painful.
I have always said that Google were wrong to launch this to consumers first. There are so many business uses for this technology, this is what Google should have focused on first. Since this originally launched, there is a lot more competition in the VR and MR spaces, especially with Microsoft targeting corporates with its HoloLens. But Google's Glass is such a smaller, lighter, more practical product than the competition. It just needs great developer tools and support now.

Anecdotally, I know multiple people who's followers count would put them in the category of "nano influencer" who do an excellent job using their platform to engage with interested clients / paying customers.

I guess because of this one might not refer to them as purely an "influencer" but more and more people I know use instagram as a primary platform for advertising skills / wares as well as a place to spend money.

If you know your audience spends time on instagram, you'd be stupid not to put resources into engaging with them on the platform.

I'm working on fixing that, however it's a bit tricky because Facebook does some very weird things with Javascript that seem to interfere with Selenium. In particular, the only way I could get it to actually focus on the "Delete" button was by dropping down to Javascript. I'm not sure why this was. I also ran into issues with the Gecko driver initially where I couldn't get it to open the delete menu at all.
It is not anymore, it used to be years back. This is why I said 'was'.
So according to you Google will propagate deletes, but you don't know how/if its deleted from cold/offline/long term storage?

I would've asked Boomers to not have wasted trillions of dollars on unnecessary military spending (which could've gone to infrastructure, education, and universal healthcare) and countless lives on unnecessary military actions. I would've asked them to not have supported trade pacts that were great for those the jobs went to in developing countries and for domestic consumers of goods where production was off-shored/outsourced, but hollowed out the middle class. I would've asked them to not have allowed private companies to run rampant in healthcare, economically devastating anyone who has chronic health issues or doesn't have a cush employer provided healthcare plan, and then having the audacity of shouting "Socialism!" when healthcare systems working in every other first world country are proposed. I would've asked them to consider the world they were leaving their kids and grandkids, and make efforts to transition off of fossil fuels sooner. I would've asked them to make efforts to support Labor and Unions, not allow them to crumble under the guise of "Right To Work", stagnating wages for forty years and solidifying Capital's stranglehold over the economy, including workplace and employment conditions. I would've asked they not use drug legislation and prisons as weapons against certain classes of people. I would've asked for less greed and more compassion. I would've asked for a bit more (reasonable) sacrifice for future generations.

But here we are, so I suppose we'll just clean up the mess the Worst Generation left us all with. It's just a shame they squandered so much for so little; the time for asking anything of them has passed [1].
