My laptop runs two SSD’s: 256GB with Manjaro Linux, and 512GB with Windows.

My profession dictates I use .Net and SQL Server, so I anticipated using the windows drive most. I ran i3 on the Linux side, and used it mainly for hackier projects using more interesting languages than c#.

Quite soon I realised I could run .Net Core and SQL Server on Linux. Bastard as it might be, my main DB on Linux is SQL Server.

After this I found I didn’t need to spend any time in Windows, except for gaming (Linux gaming has improved, but it’s not great).

I installed Gnome alongside i3, and I’ve been flitting between the two based on my use case. Both are fantastic.

Linux does well when it forgets about Windows and MacOS. i3 is a great example here - it’s the archetypal ‘power user’ environment.

Gnome was the real surprise when I switched to it. I always remembered it as an ultra slow, half polished experience that typified the Linux experience. Great features (multiple desktops for example), introduced long before Apple invented them but absolutely done to death. I remember having a 16x16 grid of desktops.

Maybe it’s that my laptop right now is... quite quick, but default Gnome might just be my favourite modern OS. There are quirks - organising the apps screen is too painful to be worthwhile, but search is good enough. Wayland makes for a super smooth UX - Windows scale, slide and fade seamlessly.

I’d say I prefer my completely unmodified Gnome to MacOS and Windows. It’s the first time I’ve used a Linux DE and not thought it to be a cheap copy of the ‘big 2’. It’s doing it’s own thing, and doing it well.

So yeah, if you want IMO the best OS in the world right now, get Manjaro architect and install Gnome (I prefer the default Gnome to the preconfigured version). You’ll find issues - but remember Mac and Windows aren’t short of their own.

P.s. wayland has some GPU limitations - it’s great and improving rapidly, but it’s not fully mature yet. I also haven’t tested it on a shit PC yet - but I might try that tonight.
Your location / interviews must have not been favorable. Most L5s pull more than that. Also the equity refreshes are far greater than other companies.
I know full well that Oracle isn't operating in good faith, it never has it never will - I have made no statement regarding Oracle's intention or nature (which I generally find to be malignant).

In this instance, I believe both parties to be operating in bad faith.

My position is relatively simple, and despite the hate it seems to have inspired I stand by it: A complex API is a creative work that deserves the protections of copyright, fair use limitations should be applicable based upon a need for the existence of interoperable software.
Unfortunately, I trusted the author's UC Berkeley pedigree. I thought, "if the facts in this book weren't true, his academic colleagues would make him an academic pariah."

I need to tune up my BS detector. Trust, but verify.

That's some weird reasoning you have there...
I'm happy to show you the prototype.

I don't know why it was axed, but my best guess is that it aesthetically looked pretty bad, and it was probably a pain to produce at high yields. Also, I can imagine users finding it more confusing than an obvious well-labelled button.
I don't know how much easier it can get than it already is.

See https://www.netlify.com/

Basically, just put a bunch of html/css files in a GitHub repo, then use the above page to let Netlify publish that on the net... it can even set up DNS for you so you can your own domain.

If that's still too hard, you can use a drag-and-drop option: https://app.netlify.com/drop

Just drop a folder with your website and you're done.
Eh, that's true for many consumers, but a lot of software still uses Windows and doesn't fit in a browser. For my hobby, I use Fusion 360, which makes heavy use of the GPU for rendering and simulation stuff. It does not support Linux.

So I use NixOS, run Windows 10 in KVM and use VFIO passthrough to give my VM a graphics card. This way I can use Linux for writing code and Windows for rich apps. It also shields me from the practical downsides of NixOS (limited software compatibility, lots of hair-pulling) since I can just use Windows if I'm in a bind.

>> Don't get me wrong. Google is still the best workplace with top notch pay, but as it's got big, it's also morphed into a typical big corporation with typical corporate politics.

Such comments is what changed at Google. There are other excellent places to work at these days, like Microsoft (also Amazon) if you are interested in large scale cloud services and not advertisement.
Oh so ? What's wrong with earning money ? What's wrong with having good impact while making money. That is what sustains impact and not a flash in the pan. Get off your high horse and respect what they have achieved. Businesses won't survive without money. HN's favorite browser Firefox gets a 300 million donation from Google. Without this Mozilla will slowly die. Of course you wouldn't mention this. Google money is now against your narrative right ? Also Google pulled out of the DoD contracts. Hate to break it to you none of your other businesses had the balls or people to do that.

I have a hypothesis that almost all of the greatest intellectual achievements come from a very small number of bloodlines. I really doubt the idea that people are born and some just end up as the smartest in generations, I think theres more to the story
> I think the society we're growing into one that wants to absolve anyone of personal responsibility.

You're fighting a false enemy. Folks researching issues like this aren't trying to abolish personal responsibility, they're trying to figure out why some people do better than others.

Is it because of inherited wealth? Inherited genetic material? Random genetic mutations? Inherited behavioral social norms? Societal trends? Entrenched interests maintaining a particular structural hierarchy?

The big question is why do people act the way that they do. These are worthy questions worth asking. If an exact DNA replica of you was placed in a different situation and had wildly different outcomes, it would raise pretty interesting questions.

You shouldn't feel threatened by these questions, they won't discount your personal achievements. Instead they may shed light on what makes you you.

"in most cases"

What is the issue, that you are claiming grave consequences exist for making an innocent mistake, and that's happened to you enough times to generalize?

...or are you saying you are unwilling to behave in an expected manner once you understand the expectations?

...in the latter case, do you find yourself frequently disagreeing with other people about who looks and behaves like a man/woman? Or are you just disagreeing about whether to honor their preferences?

I steer clear of Ubiquiti because I still remember something about them not providing source for the GPL code they were using. Unsure if that was resolved but it stuck with me.

I have found Mikrotik to make nice hardware with a full set of enterprise features, and mostly cost less than even the "prosumer" stuff from the big brands.
Although I agree with what you're saying, the philosophy isn't so clear cut; even some strands of libertarian thought recognize harms against oneself, but the "oneself" is in the future, and could be considered a separate person. By an extension of the harm principle, it could be permissible to illegalize things which cause harm against people in future - the sale of cigarettes, for example.

What are the best current options for 'creating your own website'? Are we talking primarily blogging, or are we seeking a more general solution? As a geek, my first instinct is github pages, but that’s far from user-friendly, as-is.

I guess, if we’re talking about 'creating your own website', we do literally mean any site, not just a limited subset. Clearly, server-side scripting is out of scope, so we're talking content rather than apps - so any form of HTML+Js+css, with a very accessible UI, and lots of 'templates' available for each of the three technologies.

I would argue that opt-in telemetry is the worst you should think about.

To improve your software, there are other means than mass surveillance of your users (e.g. lab-tests). And if you really need a lot of data, ask who wants to participate and also offer a solution that lets them participate for a limited amount of time.

In my experience, you can find a lot of problems with lab tests and when your team disagrees about some findings, quantitative tests can help you find the correct answer. But tracking all your users constantly isn't necessary to reach a good user experience.
I'm not avoiding anything, I just don't have the time to try and guess what I wrote the parent has a problem with and then source it all. If he would just clarify what his issues are, it would help. But instead all I seem to get are emotional tirades which never address my argument.

I bought a 13” mpb this year and the keyboard is fine, though I don’t use it much.

Biggest mistake was buying the “higher end” 2.4ghz model that’s actually performing the same as the much cheaper 1.4ghz model.
I don't think it's actually about that.

APIs are facts, and facts are not copyrightable. How is an API a fact? You have a system, in the real world. It is a "thing". There are facts about this thing: if you send it particular bytes, it does X, if you send other bytes, it does Y. The fact that it does this is empirically derived. There are not two or more options for it, it's like gravity or electromagnetism. APIs are facts about the systems they apply to, so while there is creativity in designing them, there is no creativity in building a system that interacts with them. There is exactly one way derived from the empirical fact of how it works.

Where the case IS weak is that there IS creativity in how you document and organise the API. And I'm pretty sure Google's re-implementation was very similarly organised to the real Java. That will be the crack Oracle will be trying to exploit here. But its not actually about the original work being "original" or even "creative".
That seems appropriate for people who understand terms like “continuous deployment” and “serverless functions”, but I thought we were discussing a far, far more widespread audience. Nerds can set up websites with just an ssh password - we need something for the remaining 99.9%
I got LASEK from an old surgeon, I had an offer for half price but as much as it was a large amount of money I wasn't willing to risk my eyes. In the lead up to deciding to get the surgery I read about the small number of failures and they always had an inexperienced surgeon or an unsuitable patient. Couldn't tell you the name of any GP I've ever seen, but I remember my eye surgeon's full name.
The Configuration Complexity Curse
AMD had three great moments before Ryzen.

1991. Am386DX-40 introduced at $200, quickly discounted to <$90 against Intels slower ~$200 386DX-33 and $258 486SX-20. With this one CPU AMD won the budget segment for a couple of years https://redhill.net.au/c/c-4.html#dx40 Intel replied by suing AMD, they lost the case.

2000. Duron/Athlon and first desktop 1GHz CPU. Intel replied by faking release of Pentium 3 1GHz, (only limited review samples, no stock shipped) followed by real release of 1.13GHz Pentium 3 dubbed the "Fastest x86 CPU in the world", except they crashed in users computers and resulted in expensive recall and delays https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/revisiting-intel,221-2.... https://www.theregister.co.uk/2000/08/28/intel_recalls_1_13g...

2003. AMD64, first desktop 64bit cpu starting at $218, half the price of comparable Pentium 4. Intel replied by directly bribing, intimidating and blackmailing distributors/retailers, resulting in biggest EU antitrust fine at the time of over $1.3 Billion. Intel hasnt paid a dime of this fine to this date! and keeps throwing lawyers at the problem and appealing. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2017/09/06/victory-in...

>With those kinds of numbers they can invest less in customer acquisition and turn on the money tap any time they want.

Where does this notion come from that these companies can "make money whenever they want", but haven't done so in a decade or more? People point to Amazon as an analogy all the time: it took Amazon about 5 years to make a profit, and this was the early internet. Bill.com is not Amazon.com.

That's a theory, a selling-point, and it comes from "Silicon Valley" itself. In reality, the growth tends to come from the customer acquisition spend, and growth will likely cease the minute customer acquisition spending stops. Growth is already slowing down, and this company has never made a dime. So what value do you put on it now?

Where does the idea assumption from that these companies are "putting profits back into the company"? That money has to show up in the financials statements as well, it's not magic.
To solve this, they have an upgrade you can get called "Windows 10 Pro for Workstations". Costs a little over $300. Quoting the blog post on windows.com:

"You will see for Windows 10 Pro for Workstations productivity and enterprise focused applications in place of consumer applications and games. This was one of the top feedback shared with us by our partners and users and we're delivering this in our next update"

> I have a hypothesis that almost all of the greatest intellectual achievements come from a very small number of bloodlines.

Nice hypothesis, but not exactly backed up by history. So many different societies have made so many diverse contributions to innovation, I'd be pretty amazed if you could draw a cohesive line through all (or most) of them.

Also, separately, it's pretty difficult to separate "bloodlines", which I assume you mean genetically inherited traits, with socially inherited traits.

A great physicist is probably more likely than average to have offspring that are also great physicists. But is that because of their "blood" (i.e. DNA) or because the children grew up in a household exposed to physics at a much higher degree than average. The children's "blood" is an inherited DNA trait, but their upbringing is an inherited social trait.

The question boils down to the age-old nature vs. nurture argument. All signs seem to point to nurture being the far more powerful influence.
Everything you describe is also straightforward with Pulumi using `pulumi-gcp` [1], `pulumi-aws` [2] and friends - Kubernetes is one of many libraries.

On top of this, you can build actual abstractions thanks to the configuration being written using a general purpose programming language - I don't think there is a first-party set of abstractions for GKE yet but there is for EKS [3].

Many of the most compelling examples deploy entire infrastructure stacks from "empty account" to multi-cloud Kubernetes.

Disclaimer: I have worked extensively on Terraform (both core and providers) at and after HC, and have also contributed to Pulumi since it was open sourced. Edited for formatting.

Surely there are left-leaning subreddits and right-leaning ones? Although, as anecdata, the purportedly neutral politics sub I frequent is definitely left-leaning (but it's swung back and fro over time).
I buy from Argos too, they also have a nice network of physical locations for in-store pickups. The prices are very close to Amazon usually, which really only wins on free delivery options. If you can pickup in store that's not an issue.

Argos actually pay some tax as well.

According to this survey in 2015 (http://www.igmchicago.org/surveys/15-minimum-wage), economists do not have a clear opinion on a 15 dollar minimum wage. "Uncertain" is the most common answer on whether it would cause unemployment, and "Agree" and "Disagree" both get considerable support.
