I do dual boot.

I have windows for gaming/VR but zero development.

I have Fedora for literally everything else including C#/WPF development (I run my dev environment for windows inside a VM as it makes it very simple to backup and I know that the somewhat irritating setup is perfectly replicated).

Essentially at this point Win10 is relegated to been a massive console OS.

I could likely run a lot of my games on Linux but I'm not enough of a purist that the hassle makes it worth it, down time is precious and I'd rather not fight it debugging why a particular game is been weird.

I'm likely to upgrade my 2700X soon so I might slap an ATI card in alongside my RTX2080 so I can use the 2080 with an iommu pass through and then I could game on a separate windows VM inside Fedora.
Firstly, this is factually incorrect. The biggest predictor was age, not education. Up to age 24, there was a huge preference for Remain. Up to age 35 there was a slightly smaller but still significant preference. Over 65 the preference swung the other way.

Education was significant, but not decisive.

But in fact the dirty secret of all politics is that democracy is decided almost entirely by the C2 political class. Everyone else votes fairly predictably. But with the right rhetoric, C2s can be persuaded to vote against the status quo - whatever that is.

The university educated class is most accurately represented by the B class, who tend to lean progressive and are more likely support pro-worker politics than other classes.

The A class - the true elite who own things - leans reactionary, and uses media ownership to propagate grudge and paranoia rhetoric against convenient victims (unions, foreigners, immigrants, non-conformists of more minor kinds) to herd the C2s into voting against their immediate interests.

That's exactly what happened with both Trump and the Brexit vote - although the Trump vote was complicated by the fact that Clinton ran a spectacularly ineffectual and tone deaf campaign which alienated C2s who might otherwise have supported her, and who would almost certainly have supported Sanders.

But other than that - the same class that created austerity as an institutionally abusive political dogma used its media leverage to channel anger away from itself and towards perennially reliable by-the-numbers xenophobia.

It's not a stretch to suggest Amazon benefits from the same pattern, albeit in a less partisan way. Bezos has made it clear he's interested in efficiency, and not in the working conditions in Amazon's warehouses.

Amazon as a company could easily afford to run an operation that's famous for being a world leader in humane employment - but it doesn't, because it chooses not to.
Luckily, my vote for single family houses will cancel out your vote.

A single family house in a good and expensive neighborhood is something many people want to get and when people want to get something, they put effort into that and drive the economy up. I'm one of those people and I'm putting a lot of effort to get such a house, paying high taxes on my way there. People who vote for dense multi family housing have probably never lived there. But I did, I came from a ghetto and don't want to go back. Those dense apartment complexes don't solve any of the problems you've listed, but rather introduce new, such as drunk addicts wandering around your complex when you're returning from work. Apartment complexes don't make anyone's lifestyle any less sedentary and any less car dependent, because you still need a car in such a huge country. The US has plenty (too much) land: that's obvious to anyone who's bothered to go on a road trip. Most of that land just sits around unused. The carbon intense lifestyle is caused by the disposable junk products that are intentionally made flawed so we'd have to keep buying new. There is nothing "carbon intense" in putting together a bunch of trees and calling that a house. The cause of materialistic lifestyle is caused by greed: a fundamental flaw in our mentality that humanity will take tens of thousands years to overcome. Petty housing laws aren't going to change that, just like laws aren't going to make a teen grow faster. Economic "segregation" is a good thing as it gives people a choice where to live. Anti-social lifestyle? ROFL. Like I've said, I lived in a ghetto good 20 years. That kind of lifestyle can't be any more anti social. Some people have that detached from reality idea that if we make all sorts of people live together in packed apartment complexes, the "pro-social lifestyle" would flourish, we'd get nice parks with crowds of happy people and kids running around. None of that would happen. What would happen is a bunch of depressing big apartment buildings with all sorts of sketchy folks wandering around your neighborhood, looking for something to keep themselves busy. And that something is rarely a talk about arts. In such neighborhoods you'd want a car even more, but now for safety reasons and you wouldn't dare to leave your kids alone in such places. "Increases barrier to connect with others" - gosh, I can't stop laughing. The kind of people you would have easier, with no barriers, communication are not MIT professors and you would want a car with tinted windows just to have that barrier to connect with others.

The single family house neighborhoods with HOAs, tiered by social status, is the right way to go as it gives everyone a choice where to live. If you want to build a bunch of tall apartment complexes next to the city center, so you could walk to work, fine, do it, vote for it, but please, keep your hands away from single family houses and HOAs.
> It's as plain as day that Amazon isn't keeping manual labor around out of the goodness of their hearts. There is no bottom line calculation other than the cost of manual labor vs the cost of automation, and no amount of deflection about the working conditions of warehouse work (whether better than Home Depot or not) is going to keep your job once the scale tips in the other direction.

Be that as it may, agitating for rules that make it more expensive to employ people can make the scale tip the other way sooner. It's not unreasonable to prefer a $15 job to a "$25 job" that promptly gets automated away because the automation threshold is currently e.g. $22 (and will be $19 in five years).
It's unsurprising to me that *nix systems are the majority on Azure. It is surprising to me that enterprise shops still commission new Windows servers at all in $current_year.
The post says, over and over, almost ad nauseam, that you shouldn't be using --privileged and that the original tweet depends on --privileged; moreover, it presents an alternate version of the escape that doesn't depend on --privileged (but does depend on other elevated privileges).

The title should not in this case be editorialized; relative to the topic, it's about as boring as titles come.
My biggest question is... what percentage of the market is really buying the latest generation of processors upon release? Gamers, sure. I'd imagine the number of "every day use" laptops sold is a lot larger than people trying to eek out the last few frames per second. Would these budget machines also have this new advanced AMD CPU? How long does it take "the kind of laptops you pick up at Walmart" to deprecate old CPUs and implement new ones?
What makes you believe the new York Times works with the US government to publish stories that benefit the interests of the US government?

What mechanism do you believe the US government uses to reward the nytimes for publishing propaganda? Do they get a black money payment? Do they get not-jailed (as in China?)
Where does personal responsibility come in?

It's ludicrously easy to determine what payments will be, how much interest you'll pay, or what a narrow range of market price is for the vehicles you're considering.

It's hard to imagine dropping tens of thousands of dollars without doing the slightest bit of common sense research as anything other than willful ignorance.
Nowadays, it seems possible to grow traffic without any external help. My simple website has grown from 0 to 9k monthly UU without a single backlink, I simply submitted it to Google.
One may argue you are a different person even once some of your cells are replaced.

I imagine your next question might be whether you owe something to now-me if you were to take a loan from a previous-me.

This looks like a pair of mirror bugs. Yeah, the person is already a new one, but if we'd really treat them that way, we'd have to make our laws and morals even more complex. Instead, we just pretend that's the same person.
It might be a hair more than 15% by eyeball, but remember that’s going to include in the average a lot of people who are paying property taxes only or who bought a place 15-20+ years ago and whose PIT payments are much lower than their current income would suggest they could qualify for. I bought in 2007 and my percent of income spent on housing would now fall in-line with the charted figures.
No reverse-engineering - no new feature or bugfix. That's all there is to it.
Why does not using a bank mean your money is fine to steal from you?
Completely irrelevant analogy.

Social housing doesn’t have to cater to whims and desires like whether someone wants gold taps. It’s not a question of how many bedrooms a person really desires, it’s like a soup kitchen where there is one dish on offer and that is better than starving in the street.

Social housing is far more efficient than the options of leaving people homeless in the street, or relying on industry to self regulate, or of passing regulations that X% of housing must conform to certain price limits while still being liveable.
I just find that these other considerations are either an excuse or a distraction from actually meeting this minimum objective goal. Breakeven or get out.
> switch it off, without the core continuing to generate heat and causing a meltdown

A number of fission designs have this property, too. Most operational fission reactors are from 1960s to 1980s, and indeed are capable of a meltdown.
I keep an older windows laptop around for maintaining a couple of wpf and Xamarin apps.

Visual studio for mac might cut it, but I don't have a mac. My other laptop runs Linux and that's where I prefer to be.

But the truth is that while Microsoft have been spending lots of money and effort on making on-windows-for-linux dev simple, the reverse (understandably?) isn't viable.
list(map(f, iterable)) versus [f(x) for x in iterable] also comes to mind!
> As for the distribution, you can distribute your App open-source and let your users compile and install it themselves.

Because non-technical users will surely do that.

> The reality is this: You cannot mass distribute proprietary App's that Apple has not approved.

I feel this is the only point relevant to this post.

Yes, you can invite your developer friends to try out the app you wrote yourself. But if you actually want to make money from it, you need Apple's approval.
> Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, and Postmates derive a huge share of their sales from California: 41 percent of all Postmates' US sales are in California, 27 percent with DoorDash, 24 percent of Lyft's rides, 17 percent of Uber's rides, and 13 percent of UberEats' sales.

Not the main topic of the article but I'm surprised at how concentrated Uber and Lyft's revenue is the state of California. I can imagine smaller / newer companies getting started in one location and being lop sided in their sales, but those two are huge and have been around for years. That's some serious concentration of regulatory risk!
You appear to be speaking on behalf of Amazon Web Services but don’t mention this relationship or your company contact information in your HN profile.

Is this normal and allowed at AWS, or do you just not have a Social Media Policy?

You have said you work on the AWS Well-Architected team in your other comments, but it feels like strong statements about intent of a company should be attributable to an employee directly, and not an anonymous internet handle.

Others from AWS like @jeffbarr and @_msw_ seem to be much more transparent when making statements about Amazon.
“Real” income is adjusted for inflation (by definition). The contra would be nominal income (or typically unqualified is also nominal).
Hmm, isn't the new Mac pro up to 28 cores? :-D
If ignition hasn’t been achieved, why bother with clever engineering or economics? Without ignition/breakeven, the best engineering and economics in the world are irrelevant.

Ultimately, physics showstoppers matter more than any others.
There are no requests to log. It's not a web app.

It's installed on at least one and up to many networked windows machines on a given customer site, where that network is isolated and contains numerous IP and serial cable connected pieces of specialist hardware (no two customers have the same sets of hardware); we make them dance together. There is no interaction outside that network.
Buying such an old car takes some knowledge and skill. You can certainly find one that will be reliable. But can the average person actually count on being able to do that?

Beyond that, this may be a good financial decision on a personal level but it doesn’t scale to society as a whole. Used cars are cheap because few people want them. If everybody tried your scheme, the prices would go way up.
Nice idea. For very short time spans, I noticed some "trends" seem to be seasonal trends ("aperol", "lawn mower"...). It might be interesting to compare with the trend for the same search the year before at the same period, to be able to identify those cases (for intance, I cannot see from the graphs whether Aperol is more or less trendy this summer compared to last summer)
What do you mean by, "we all know how that turned out"?
Even when the goal is branding, advertisers are still interested in effectiveness. If I can get 1B impressions but they are all viewed by the wrong segment, I’ve just wasted a ton of money. Again, if the recipient wants it, it should be shown. Otherwise, it’s a waste.
I think Connor White Sullivan is was working on something like this as of last Conj https://twitter.com/conaw http://roamresearch.com/ I also know Jeremy Taylor (who works on Crux) was working on a DataScript based org mode like graph tool
You mean EB-1. The O-1 is a temporary visa. Approvals of EB-1 are unfortunately highly subjective. It's like winning a lottery (based on who looks at your application).
Yes it s bad that people are continually reminded that they have no place in society. The chronic unemployed need support not chastisement. The people returning to work after lengthy illness need support not reminders of their place in the pecking order.
What’s the topology of your array? How many disks? L2ARC doesn't help with that much ram because your main memory will be faster than even mirrored nvme caches
I saw a post from someone on a slack (that I reposted here: https://letterstoanewdeveloper.com/2019/06/21/balance-questi... ). He suggested waiting for 3-6 months before you press on the "just because".
Indeed. And I seriously hope that Google's response, should this move become popular, will not be to remove that toggle.
Vendor lock-in. If the PP spent some good money for a Windows only software very specific to his job, then there's no chance to migrate: that would simply be too costly. In due time, maybe, should exist a Linux port/equivalent, the user should carefully weight the costs/benefits of say a FOSS solution that would cost zero, but would have no warranty and be community supported.
(Actually isn't that extreme: support can be bought for Linux software as well)

It all boils down to what the user needs from Windows; migrating to a Linux machine plus Libreoffice for document work is one thing, moving complex vertical solutions to it is a whole different story.
BTW, I'm totally in favor of ditching windows for good, but 30 years of technical and cultural lock-in are hard to fight.
maybe someone who runs rendering farm with CPU utilization is always in the 99%? baffles me too.
Yes and no. I was once in a HR seminar where they welcomed you to the company. When the woman said "we get 19 days PTO a year", you'd be surprised how many people shot up and said "can we start taking them right now?"

Before they had even worked a day! PTO days are accurred by hours worked. For me, it's ~6 hours per 15 calendar days. You think you're entitled to PTO having worked 0 hours?...
There is no better way to reduce new rental construction then to remove incentives for developers to build with rent control. San Francisco and New York City are prime examples.
Thanks, I really enjoyed that blog post!
There have got to be customers out there for whom 10%+ base frequency performance is worth well north of $5K.

No reason not to capture margin for a handful of top-binned chips.
It's astonishing how many de-bloat scripts, tools or functions of other tools this OS spawned. That should make the developers think...if it wasn't intended and they didn't give a damn because monopoly...
This isn't related to a medical issue. This is reluctance to share with my child the specific size of my genitalia. You think that is peculiar?
On a Windows 10 VM set to 2 GB of RAM, Windows idles at about 1.1 GB.

On a 16 GB Windows it uses about 7.5 GB. All of that seems to swap out or go away somewhere if I get busy with Visual Studio.

On a 64 GB Windows it seems to idle at about 9.6 GB used. Of course, this one isn't a purely work machine and has Steam, Origin, Ubisoft's thing, etc, etc.

So Windows 10 is pretty variable. I imagine it has something to do with running various services in parallel.
I haven't used Windows as a daily driver in nearly a decade. I have to use it occasionally for work reasons and I'm always shocked by the Stockholm syndrome Windows users must have. Even just booting an OEM Windows machine for the first time raises my blood pressure. I hear that Cortana monologue in my nightmares.
Last year, I was interviewed for a public radio show in Europe. There was nothing more exciting for me to be in the spotlight. A week later they ran the interview and it was eerie to hear myself say things I didn't remember saying.

I mean, I said it, but I didn't say it like that. At first I thought I was crazy and didn't remember the interview correctly. Luckily, I had recorded the whole session on my computer. I was not crazy.

The interviewers questions were rephrased, and my answers where edited to make them more dramatic.

I had received many calls from journalists, and many didn't run the story at all after I said I will only answer some parts Off the record.

Most often then not, the journalists already has a story when they come to you. All they need is a quote of you saying what they already wrote.
In my opinion they are not driving down prices heavily. They are just pricing their chips competitively so people will buy AMD over Intel, but they are not super cheaper. The pricing of AMD chips just makes sense if you look at the lineup and compare it to Intel.
throwaway082729, I'm so sorry you're getting downvoted. You are the kind of person who deserves to have gotten permanent residence a long time ago.
Container security products like Twistlock require privileged access. I’m sure there are other use cases.
From a european perspective, eating out is a luxury. Eating out once a week is considered spendy where I live.
Maybe this is a good time to point out that Windows now comes with a Linux kernel. Not sure how this effects VM workflows. I used to run Mac with Parallels but now I just use pure Windows, just much less of a hassle especially with the release of tools such as VS Code.
I feel like if I were a network operator for something that sensitive I might send some bursts of traffic to nothing just to keep anyone trying to infer "lots of traffic" → "something going on" on their toes.

(Though certainly things like packet timing, packet size, etc. might make more thorough analyses harder to escape…)
Do you live in Silicon Valley? That might skew your perception a bit. Median income is around $60k, and median house price is $220k. With a couple assumptions that comes out to around 20%
Exaggeration.
Couldn't agree with you more. Specifically, certain (poorly-thought out) failure handling mechanisms actually end up transmitting the very condition that triggered the first failure to other parts of the system - thus creating cascading failures.
To me, "legacy" just means undocumented code that isn't well understood by anyone currently working in the code base. By that definition, pretty much anything written by your average contractor is legacy code.
Avoiding fines is pretty much trivial. It’s insignificant compared to the cost of maintaining and fueling the car unless you’re incredibly irresponsible.

Wikipedia has an article on busing in Boston: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_desegregation_busing_cr...

It was a boon for politicians on either side. The right could say "look, it isn't working", and the left could say "we tried".

> we need fair-minded and accurate reporting about the companies we patronize, not scaremongering polemics preaching a black-and-white gospel of tyranny and exploitation

...the author lectured us on why -all- the previous reportage should be unskeptically dismissed.

Context is so...inconvenient if you believe the literal truth is always found on the page.

I for one always believed knowing how something is spun and why is part of being a thoughtful reader.
> I suspect you're still associating hacking with other actions that can be facilitated by hacking.

I specifically wrote "per se", so no - I'm not.

> If hacking per se were immoral, then there could be no such thing as a "white hat".

White hat hacking it typically specifically authorized (e.g. red teams). That is not the case with the example from the article.

In the locksport community there is a pretty strong norm to only pick locks you own or have specific authorization to pick.

Computer security not the same thing, but it's also not that different.
>Who is to blame if you are only working a low paying job only 20 hours a week?...

Without more information, we don't know? Does the company even offer low ranking employees more hours than that? Etc etc etc.
you are normal but normal is strange :)
Seems like there's only up side for AMD. They're not getting Intel-level prices now because they're not being used, so as long as they're not selling below cost, it's all upside to them. For Intel's part, they only have to follow suit if/when the strategy starts working for AMD, by which point AMD may have clawed back enough enough market share to have justified the strategy. At that point the race to the bottom probably ends, and prices might incrementally inch up somewhat, but the increased competition will still probably depress Intel's prices over what they would have been, while AMD still has gains.
I am struggling to understand what you are saying. Your views are not clearly stated or elaborated, and they are not obviously related to what I said.

I called them substantive because they are worked out philosophical theories, as opposed to agnosticism, which is simply the suspension of belief.
> It's hard to imagine dropping tens of thousands of dollars without doing the slightest bit of common sense research as anything other than willful ignorance.

Totally.

But most people don't do that. Instead, they walk into the door and listen to the "expert" selling the car who is doing everything in their power to rip you off or give you a false sense of what you're really paying for that $25,000+ listed item.

It's insane to me that it's even legal. It's even worse than phone companies advertising something is $X per month but then there's 100 line items added in at the last second. Hotels do the same thing. It's no surprise so many people are in debt. So many companies (including medical facilities) do everything in their power to trick you or lie to you in order to make a sale.
