Sleeping diagonally is a good idea?

But let's do the math on sleeping diagonally for a man with a 3 to 3.5 foot frame and a 7 foot wingspan. It really is just different parts of his body hanging off the bed.

Systems as in looking at how the system fits together as a whole. This can often be as complex as the details of the individual parts. How do all the parts fit together.

Example: If you are assigned to build a road you figure out the pavement so it can support the trucks driving over it. If you are assigned the system of the roads you instead look at where the trucks are going: is the route the road is on a good one (including will it hit kids on the way to school, are there good stores, will it induce demand and make things worse...), but you assume the pavement engineers will make the road strong enough.

It should be noted that (unlike Docker), LXD can be safely killed and upgraded without your containers dying -- which is the main problem most people have with Docker's container liveliness model (even with Docker's --live-restore there are many issues). The main reason why LXD has a daemon is that it supports lots of management features (such as live migration and clustering) which cannot easily be done without a daemon.

You can use LXC directly if you want to avoid a long-running daemon.
I think Sinofsky was still in Office when this was happening. He comes into the picture with Windows 8 since Microsoft wanted Windows to be as successful as Office had become. Jim Allchin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Allchin) was in charge at the time of Vista.

Office had stuck with regular the regular Windows platform and were focusing on UI and getting into a regular release rhythm under Sinofsky. People forget but Office releases used to be a real crapshoot and Microsoft needed to move to a true subscription model at some point (the original activation wasn't it.) To do this you need regular updates at least a few years apart before you can even get close to what's needed for a subscription business. Sinofsky seems to have been a real success here, but not so much in Windows.

Looking back the expectations for Vista could never meet the reality. Windows was fundamentally not ready as a product or team to deliver on any of the promises. This was not much different from Cairo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairo_(operating_system)) as it turned out. If the focus had been on the fundamentals like regular releases they may have been achieved some of what is promised with the right compromises. I also wouldn't discount some of the hardware changes in the period. We were getting multi-core and there was a transition to 64-bit.
Oh nobody denies that you have more political freedoms, I'm talking about why for instance, would your society focus so much about China being bad, highlighting the differences, whereas countries like Vietnam, still a communist state, you get to see tourism articles and everything.

What Israel is doing to some Palestinians would also qualify as shady behavior, but what I'm saying is that I don't have a personal feud with any of those countries, and I would totally visit them. But I have friends and family that based on the amount of propaganda about China are refusing to buy certain products, use software like Wechat, etc. That is sophisticated propaganda in my opinion.
Theoretically, 5G will use a higher frequency band of radiation (24Ghz-86Ghz). This band has a harder time penetrating obstacles, so you will need many more transmitters at a higher power level to cover an area.

Opponents are uncomfortable with the enthusiasm of the telecom companies over 5G without sufficient (they feel) long-term research on the health effects of saturating entire neighborhoods with millimeter-wave radiation 24/7. Residents of these areas will be exposed to this radiation whether they use it or not - there is no opt-out.

There is some quackery in this space (i.e. cures for "radiation sickness," etc.), but I don't consider it blameworthy to have caution concerning new technology in general, especially when the benefits of 5G to the consumer are so dubious. It seems to me like a push by the telecoms to re-implement wireless internet on their terms from the ground up in as many areas as they can before public opinion forces neutrality back on them again.

I also don't think they'll actually succeed (at least in America anyway), but mostly end up selling people the same product under the label "5G LTE" or something.

Systems Theory is the study of complex concepts in which those concepts are broken down into a comprehensive set of smaller, interconnected components that make it easier to understand the complexity and implement. Not the best example, but you can think of it as a blueprint of sorts.

Sounds like the same thing they said for 2g, 3g, 4g and Wifi. As long as I don't see a big epidemic of brain tumors or something related, I'll take these claims with a pinch of salt.
In Mojave, and it’s pretty similar across versions IIRC: open keyboard preferences in system settings and check the “Show keyboard and emoji viewers in menu bar” box.

That will replace the language flag icon in your top bar with an odd icon with the command key embedded.

The second option in that menu is the keyboard viewer. You can show that and drag on a corner to make it as large as you want. Dynamically changes the keyboard as you hold down modifier keys.

1 year to build Windows Vista's new shutdown menu, with a total of 43 people somehow involved in its design. If this is how Windows developers still have to work, it's no wonder.

That said, I would readily believe that the roots of this story have more to do with the complexity of modern OSes than any particulars of Microsoft culture. In terms of software quality, OS X peaked about 15 years ago, and has been steadily getting flakier ever since. And the Linux community has been struggling for virtually its entire existence, without success, to deliver a well-polished desktop experience.
In addition to what @cyphar mentions - zfs is "storage manager". Disk, volume and filesystem. Some of the power and data guarantees relate to this design decision.

Encrypted /home/username filesystem with user-owned keys, is one neat trick,for example.

Right? I thought the same. I live fairly close to the area, but have never been - wasn't even aware it existed.

Pistacchios are tricky plants to cultivate.

I have 6 plants (4f, 2m) still in pots that I've yet to put into an orchard, but they have climate requirements that are very challenging -- the females are wind pollinated by the males, they need / appreciate cold winters, they really don't like wet feet, but they want a lot of heat through summer, though they really don't want much humidity (well the plants don't care, but you'll have issues with salmonella if you don't have very dry summers).

It's wrong to lump common sense advise together with the previously-scientific-until-proven-otherwise low-fat diets. Common sense here, in my opinion, should refer to what has been generationally observed. Even if there's mistakes in there, our bodies would have evolved to handle them well. It's when we try to substitute what has been a generational practice with careful study that we go wrong. Because careful study is not careful enough, and often makes the common mistake of prescribing new things, food, actions, processes, etc.

If you decide it's about punching peole in the face either you'll wildly succeed or more likely you'll get punched back and eventually locked up by the community at large who are all pursuing their own meanings and have collectively agreed to stop people punch other people in the face.

I mean you could choose that the meaning of life is to punch people in the face but you'll have to live with the reprocussions of that choice. That feels like you'll quickly come to the rational decision that it was/is a bad choice.
If you want other people to make a change then it's on you to make a convincing argument for why the new thing is an improvement, not just go on tirades about how people should get with the times.

Personally, I lost faith in the Python core team because of the Py3 migration. Yes, 3.x now has a bunch of nice features that 2.x did, but almost none of them actually depend on the 3.0's breakage (as proven by Tauthon).

If you want people to follow you through a break-the-world migration then you need to motivate why it is needed and why it couldn't be done incrementally, not try tempt them with a bunch of unrelated carrots that are bundled together with the breaking change.
Analysis of Solitaire Cipher
What's the point of a value if you can't realize it in any way ?
A while back I was building a large application for an internal team at my company. It got to the point where local state was just not solving all of my problems so I started to explore Redux. I had been creating React apps for several years but I could not wrap my head around Redux - it was far too much complexity adding all sorts of actions, reducers, boilerplate, etc. I started looking for alternatives and stumbled upon Mobx which I liked much better and have been using ever since.

Mobx-react[0] felt like much less work with virtually the same outcome. You create a single (or multiple stores), pass it into your app with a

<Provider Store={store}>
<App />
</Provider>

and you are off to the races. When adding the global state to a component, it was super easy:

export default inject('Store')(observer(MyComponent))

Or use decorators (requires ejecting create-react-app or modifying the webpack configuration settings):

@inject('Store')
@observer
class MyComponent extends Component {...}
export default MyComponent

Accessing the store:

const {myValues} = this.props.Store

In the store you organize your code by observables (global variables), actions (functions that modify observables) or computed (highly optimized functions that return values derived from state). I treat it as a "source of truth" in a single file.

import {observable, action, computed, decorate} from "mobx"

class Store {
// Observables
myValues = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]

// Actions
addValue = num => myValues.push(num)

// Computed
get getTotal() {
return myValues.reduce((total, cur) => total + cur)
}
}

decorate(Store, {
myValues: observable,
addValue: action,
getTotal: computed
})

const store = new Store()
export default store

In the end I felt that my code was far more readable and maintainable but your miles may vary.

Here is a relatively simple example of how to use mobx-react demonstrating an observable, action, and computed: https://www.codementor.io/susanadelokiki/managing-state-with...

Are you talking about parsing f-strings? How would that look like?

As far I understand the following:

is roughly equivalent to:

I've personally learned the following lessons the hard way:

Lesson 1: "RAID isn't a backup." If all you do is copy your files to a NAS, they aren't safe. If you're NAS is taking snapshots onto a different physical spindle, that's good, but it's better to have your NAS backed up to a physically separate device, in case of cryptolocker attacks or hardware failures.

Lesson 2: if it's not automatic, it won't get done. Set up Resilio Sync or SyncThing or your NAS-specific backup software on your phone to pull photos and videos off and back then up automatically. Set up a cron job on your NAS to backup.

Lesson 3: consider an off-site backup. Backblaze has a great service, and so do other cloud services.

Lesson 4: don't use a digital asset manager that requires proprietary hardware or messes with your original files. Google photos, for example, is free, but garbles much of the metadata tags in your files, and downsamples your videos into a blurry mess (even if you use original quality). Failed photo startups are astoundingly prevalent. Use something that's been designed to continue even if the company doesn't.

Amusingly enough, I'm working on a photo startup (spoiler: it satisfies what I wanted from lesson 4!). It's currently in closed beta, if you're interested in trying it out and sharing feedback: https://blog.photostructure.com/introducing-photostructure/
The investors owned part of the company in return for giving them money. Possibly they owned a majority of the company. For example, the investors would make more money by forcing some sort of fire sale of the companies assets which you don't want if your goal is to continue running the company.
I came up and added that functionality. I spent many years as a UNIX sysadmin, everything was a `man` page away, including C libraries. I've done a lot of python over the past 7 years and used `pydoc` constantly. The inspiration for this came from `pydoc`, I wanted to replicate specifically the ability to lookup a specific call on a library such as `pydoc file.readlines`, hence the ability to do `rustup doc std::fs::read_dir`.

The funny thing is that I am fairly junior at Rust, and started using that functionality early on when I was trying to implement it, and really missed it every time I broke it or had to re-installed the prod version of rustup!

This is said a lot, but the Rust community is truly welcoming and helpful, even as a newcomer to Rust I got a lot of help and guidance on this. If you have an idea for a new functionality or fix something, don't let your inexperience stop you, go on discord and discuss it, write a small proof of concept and do a PR asking for feedback.
I’d hope it’s because industry has finally seen the harm MBAs do, but I’m not holding my breath
In the article, "they" are doing both.

Historically, when the economy is good US students have tended to defer business school because of the opportunity cost. For the business school, this was not an issue because they had international applicants clamoring for those spots.

So you need both -- a switch for domestic applicants (hot job market, tech jobs that don't require an MBA etc), and a dialing down of international applicants (harder to get visas, harder to stay etc).

Sorry, I don't use Xcode often. I made the change in the code you provided above in Xcode. But now, how do I export/build the app to then drag that into my "Applications" folder with this version of the app, where it uses command-tab?

EDIT: Google helped me out! If anyone else runs into the same thing, you do the dropdown in Xcode: Product > Archive > Distribute App (blue button) > "Copy App", and then that generates a folder with the newly created .app wherever you save it.
The 'traditional' length of a fiction novel is 60k words. Although I believe 90k is a more common expected length today (looking at publisher submission requirements). Obviously non-fiction is much more variable, both in length and time required to read. E.g.: it's going to be significantly more time consuming to read a physics text that walks you through (even rudimentary equations) than a step by step illustrated guide to photography.
