Yes, I'm not exactly sure how this would work.

Trees/plants still respire, so they would need some sort of atmosphere to be present within the comet. But if it's sealed so that gases don't get out, how does sunlight get in?

Not to mention that the whole plan goes bottoms up if the comet just happens to pass close enough and most of it evaporates into space. There goes your "tree" along with it.
Is there a survey or study of the demographics? I'm genuinely curious about how it currently looks because I have a hard time believing the upper crust bothers with this sort of thing any more.

You don't. Stop thinking in machines.

Your code doesn't directly call a service, you'd use a service discovery framework (eg AWS Cloud Map) to lookup a location that can handle a particular type of request. It doesn't even matter to the caller whether the request is handled by an instance (eg EC2), a container (eg Fargate), or a function (eg Lambda).

End user requests are handled by an application loadbalancer (eg ELB) that accepts the requests and routes them to an available location, which again doesn't need to be any particular machine (and it can also spawn/destroy instances as needed) or type.

With serverless computing (eg AWS Lambda), there's not even machine for you to SSH into, the cloud takes care of executing functions "somewhere" to handle your work. Work could mean serving an HTTP request - however there doesn't even need to be a client making a call; the lambda could e.g. run in response to an event on an S3 bucket.

Of course AWS can also handle your pets; ie you can name your EC2 instances (and either manage DNS outside, or use Route 53 to let AWS handle it). But that's not what AWS is about; there are way cheaper options for vServers. And of course there are real computers below this, and DNS is being used in the middle of this (with auto-generated names that you don't care about). But you don't deal with that.

Whell this is a common power-grabbing trick among various charlatans, e.g. religuous practitioners, political activists, authorities. Invent or steal a word and then claim that only you know the correct meaning of that word. Then you can manipulate people by telling them what is "normal" today.

Did you notice the word culture starts with the word cult? Weird.
> very useful when working with libpng

There is no reason libpng needed to use setjmp as part of its API, and that it does so is (I hope) widely regarded as a bad decision. It's "useful" only in so much as that is the API it defines, but there is no reason that this had to be the case, and simply returning an error code would have been very very much preferable.
I've been using NetGuard for a few months with good results: https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard (by the author of XPrivacy)
I'm now working with a Dell Precision 5530 which costs around 3k on its current specs.

The good:

- It had ubuntu 16.04 which means the hardware has good compatibility with linux and you don't need to pay for the windows license.

- 32Gb of ram, and it supports even more.

- The 512Gb NVMe SSD is very fast.

- The battery lasts several hours on non-CPU intensive tasks, I haven't need to charge it when using it for browsing the web on non-working days.

- Even that the screen is 15", it is actually smaller than my precision 3510.

- It doesn't get as hot as my 3510 gets sometimes.

- I'd say that the keyboard is decent.

- It has more input ports than the macbook pro.

- It's built from a decent material instead that my 3510 which is just plastic.

The bad:

- When I installed ubuntu 18.04, I found an issue with the nvidia driver which I was able to solve, if you want to get ubuntu preinstalled, the only choice was to get the nvidia P1000 included (even that it seems to have poor support), if buying again, I'd probably get Windows preinstalled instead to avoid paying for the graphic card.

- The AC adapter is lighter than the one from my 3510 (which gets easily damaged on the port, I expect this to last longer but we'll see).

- The trackpad is not as good as it could be, it is common to paste content accidentally (I believe it detects the middle-click gesture), I guess there may be a software trick to avoid it but haven't invested enough time, I can live with the issue.

- As the screen has tiny borders, the camera is placed below the screen which is something I laugh about each time I do a videocall.

Those are the details I can think about, I'm far happier with linux on dell laptops than what I ever was using a macbook pro.

That's literally the purpose of the lock file. The lock file locks the entire dependency tree. So unless you're bumping versions or you fail to save the lock file, the entire dependency tree's versions will remain the same.

In statically typed languages this normally isn't an issue. Of course I'm aware that logic can also be changed, but in that case it's up to you to write appropriate tests (or just don't bump the versions of your libraries without a good reason).

Having moved from Windows to Linux partially because Windows was about as secure as a flyscreen door, I've recently switched back to Windows.

Whenever a version of an app wants to provide a network service, Windows first asks if this specific app can provide network services on this class of network (public connection or private connection). So it is not just builtin, but for a particular class of restriction even easy to use. Blocking consumption of resources is an advanced feature though.

I used to use a program called "firestarter" on Linux, which provided a way to block specific apps. Long time since I've done that though, since most of the untrusted apps on Linux are Chrome and the ones you run in Firefox.

One detail that hasn't be mentioned so far is, scheduling meetings when the team is distributed among several time zones.

We used to have weekly meetings with different timezone considerations, Latin America, Europe, and Australia, the problem is that you can't find a good time for everyone, I used to wake up at 6 AM to take the meeting while my Australian peer was taking it at 11 PM, and the Europeans taking the meeting at the meal time.

While most meetings could just leave one of those time zones out, there are certainly meetings where having everyone present would be ideal.

Ultimately this is what I mean re the "difficult" part of the other comment.

I don't have strong opinions on "how to fix the world", because I don't think there actually are solutions that scale beyond small tweaks; most of the time, people define a problem first, and then go after solutions, without really articulating why it's a problem, or whether the solutions will create a world that's better.

C125 refers to the belt model, Clinch 1.25

The tip cuts make sense to me. You can either go rounded, have a point, or go with a taper. The image changes based on which one you choose.

They have a sizing guide on the product page where they use your old belt as a base for measurement.

As for point number one, I feel like that's a matter of preference, specifically because fashion is subjective.

I mean, I agree with the sentiment of your comment, specifically they could definitely do more user friendly things, but I figure most of their customers are into bespoke products and are okay with doing research on their own or are informed.

Go to Etsy.com. It's great for leather products. I bought lots of belts from brand names growing up, and they all quickly fell apart. Then I learned about full grain leather. I talked with a local person I found on Etsy, provided the measurements to the center hole, chose a solid stainless steel buckle from their selection, gave them the measurements for the width of the belt, and they cut one from some black, full grain, vegetable tanned leather. I've had the belt for years, wear it all the time, and it's like new, but just keeps looking better and getting softer.

Once again, go to Etsy and search for full grain leather belts. I spent about $70 on mine. This is one of the markets where you'll get a much better product working with a local craftsman than shopping with a brand name.

strpy() is safe when used safely. That means that you've confirmed that the target is big enough.

For example, there's no way this can fail:

char s[10];
strcpy(s, "hello");

The problem is that it can also be used unsafely, and except in the simplest cases it's difficult or impossible to tell whether a give usage is safe.

By contrast, gets() (which isn't even in the language anymore) is inherently unsafe, because you can't control what will appear on standard input.
Slirp is a little like NAT, but implemented differently.

It creates what looks like a virtual NIC (literally in qemu's case, indirectly by SLIP in the original Slirp), and reassembles the packets it gets coming in from the guest OS or SLIP user. For example, a SYN packet gets turned into a call to connect(), and a data packet gets turned into a write() on the appropriate TCP socket FD. An RST packet gets turned into a call to close(). The reverse happens in the other direction, based on the read() data, fake TCP packets are generated, a closed socket gets mapped to a RST packet, and so forth.

From the outside, it looks like the guest (or SLIP user) is NATed through the host's IP address. But really it is just reassembling the intention of the guest based on the packets it is sending and calling host kernel functions to cause the same effects.

You wouldn't be able to simply pass IP packets with usermode networking. It may also be a better use of bandwidth to reassemble and refragment the packets if the MTU of the host is smaller than the MTU advertised to the VM (although I suppose the hypervisor should try to match the MTU).

That's nice when the team is small and everyone knows what the code does, but when new members start joining and you have all these inside jokes/references all over the code, it becomes more cumbersome than anything to explain what it is.

WordPress all the way. I genuinely think it's the self-hosted solution that offers the best combination of control, flexibility and ease-of-use. You just need a couple of plugins for performance and safety and you are set [0].

There are literally tens of thousands of themes - open source and commercial - that you can try out in a matter of minutes instead of wasting days or weeks designing your own theme.

You rarely have to code stuff by yourself because there is a plugin for any functionality you can imagine.

Latest version of WordPress comes with the new Gutenberg editor which I'm personally not a huge fan of as it obfuscates too much of WordPress' inner workings. You might, therefore, want to use the Classic Editor plugin as a solution.

To add one more angle on it: everyone can't save money at the same time. Say you have 100B euros. The next year everyone can't just have 110B euros in total unless you print money.

What really happens is that 'savings' have two sides to them, and the other side is debt. So when people's savings go up by 10B, 10B of debt is created somewhere else (bank loans, government borrowing, etc) that enables that.

Having things work this way makes some intuitive sense. Savings are really a promise for goods & services in the future, so it makes sense that you have a matching promise to (forgo) goods & services in the future to counterbalance that.

In Germany's case, it's possible for the public and government to both save in aggregate only as long as trading partners go into debt (in euros). But if the debt becomes unsustainable, you will lose your savings that are the other side of that debt.

Now, everyone can try to save at the same time, but because it's impossible it doesn't work and you just go into a recession. That is, everyone stops spending, people lose their job, and even though they want to save they can't, so the impossibility is avoided.

Even though the basics aren't extremely complicated, it doesn't work like a household, and in many countries the average level of economics education seems to be about zero. There's a lot of public sentiment that everyone should should just save up and pay down debt, even though it doesn't make much mathematical sense how that could happen. I think there's a good chance people are elected at some point that handle things very badly.

On an single individual level there's no reason to avoid saving, it's a good idea. But someone has to take on the debt on the other side of that saving. If no one wants to (including the government), it seems reasonable for interest rates to trend negative.

With pictures posted on social media, I came to realize that I had a certain audience in mind with each post. If I posted a picture of me hiking, I want my hiking friends to see it. So instead of dragging everyone else through my life, I just text my hiking pics to my hiking friends and get a lot more genuine and direct communication as a result.
For me, it depends on who is creeping. A junior engineer, I'd probably pull them up and start explaining what is going on.
