This seems like a fun project and a great way to learn Kubernetes, but if I'm dropping this much money on it, I'd like it to have some productive purpose afterwards.

I'm a full-stack web dev primarily using node/react/postgres. I've also got some projects currently hosted on a Linode instance. Ideas on fun/productive uses for this cluster after I've built it and messed around with Kubernetes?
Every time I read stories like this I can’t help but mourn the loss of real opportunity for them. Instead, they should have asked to WFH a few days a week and been VERY productive on those days. Then ask “hey, do you mind if I do this job remotely?” and always be just a little more productive than the others.
Latest Kali Linux OS Added Windows-Style Undercover Theme for Hackers
But if you're not as least as good at it you won't even be able to get to those positions. You'll lose to it much earlier in much worse ways.
A lot of these RPA processes use tools like UiPath to automate clicks on a Windows desktop computer. The article's stated use case (scanning paper applications and entering it into the system) sounds like OCR getting text off the page, doing some sanity checks, then keying it into the system with automated clicks in a VM.

Ordinarily you'd just expose an API to pass through that data, but for lots of legacy systems it's faster and less expensive to have an RPA bot just literally key data into the old interface.

I don't know what hardware you're using or what "slower" exactly means here, but OSX has always been silky smooth at 60fps for me, focusing on that nice feel, more than an instant responsiveness. To be fair, MacOS is still highly responsive, but it's polished, causing an intentional minor frame delay, which increases smoothness.

Windows, on the other hand, is responsive, but has incremental stutters from time to time. It happens in video playback, to the point when I'm out and about and at a mall a tv with a video is playing, I can tell if it is on Windows or Linux. It's more obvious in video games which has these microstutters all over the place, starting with DX9.

Linux has page tearing, and depending on the desktop can be highly responsive or not at all. Many linux desktops can be manually configured to turn on gpu acceleration on the desktop so the gpu handles the vsync and everything else making it butter smooth like OSX with more responsiveness, but you have a trade off at that point between how much responsiveness vs how much polish you want.

(When you drag your mouse across the screen, it skips pixels. When you're dragging a window, does the compositor follow the mouse flawlessly, skipping around, or does it smooth behind the mouse a frame or two making it look nicer?)

Maybe you're running a 4k60 external monitor out of a 2015 MBP. In that example, you'd be maxing out your GPU on the desktop, potentially causing a delay when dragging windows around that may or may not be noticeable. On this hardware setup, Linux and Windows are both lighter weight and will be more responsive. ie, ymmv depending on your setup.
Book Summary: Start with Why by Simon Sinek
Thanks for the response. I'm mostly familiar with Google Docs in the workplace, where it was apparent who was reading what document at a particular moment from a list of users at the upper-right.

Separately, on my personal account, at some point I viewed a publicly shared document from a well-known person, and that ended up in my "shared documents" (or "documents shared with you"?) for ages. I wasn't sure if that sharing was evident in both directions. I've avoided clicking on shared Google Drive documents since then.

If it's not the case that the owner of the doc can audit activity, I stand corrected.

EDITED TO ADD: I suppose the root of my confusion is that it's pretty hard to distinguish the behavior of Google Drive from Google Docs; and once the lack of privacy has been observed anywhere (e.g. using Docs the workplace), it's hard not to assume it's also happening with PDF's shared via Google Drive, simply because you can't know what the other person is seeing.

It's especially hard when there is an asymmetry (e.g. in a non-GSuite environment, I can see some publicly shared document in my "shared with me" list, but I guess the sharer can't see me).
Thanks for this suggestion — will try this as a way to escape the ‘filter bubble’. To clarify: do you reset completely, retaining absolutely no likes, subscriptions, etc., or do you find it sufficient to clear your watched videos?
If you someday become a boss, you’ll understand a big part of your job is finding work to keep your employees busy, so that when the “real” work comes along you’ll have the staff to do what’s necessary.

There’s nothing more annoying than people with nothing to do who don’t have the personal drive to seek and solve problems.
i agree. look at how similar the other 5 is below it. that's the style they used for 5 it seems. I am not an expert but it's convincing enough to me.
Cassette. That was a household word, right? Both for video and music cassettes. I haven't heard that word in many years, now.
As far as I know they have not released those phonetic recordings. But even without those recordings it might be possible to use those deepfake voice fingerprinting systems to build an STT engine from sound clips from the show.
> But that assumes that the vendor/maintainer of open source software has a responsibility to not engage in "bad behaviour."

> "it’s not really in the spirit of open source, where criticism comes in the form of patches and forks."

Everybody has an obligation to refrain from bad behavior whether or not they are an "open source" developer, and everybody has a right to criticize bad behavior whether or not they consume software, and whether or not the software they consume is "open source." That may not be what "open source" means to you, but in that case I want nothing to do with whatever it is that it means to you. I don't subscribe to any ideology that obligates me to hold my tongue when I see somebody doing something I think is morally wrong.

You'll just have to find a way to cope with people criticizing things or people you believe should be immune to criticism. The simple fact of the matter is you have neither the power nor authority to set the bounds for acceptable criticism. People will continue to criticize software they choose to not use, and there is nothing you can do to stop that. You certainly can't stop them by telling them to shut up or by trying to overload the definition of "open source" with your own inane pet philosophy [namely: "All criticism should be formatted as patches or forks."]
"On the one hand, yes, this brings us closer to a dystopian all-seeing surveillance state which tracks every private citizens' movements at all times.

Teenager pregnancy isn't the same thing as teenage sex.

Sex is pretty wonderful for your health and metal well-being, if you minimize the threat of STIs and pregnancy.

Education and programs that allow the under-aged access to healthcare facilities that specialize in sexual health and family planning seems to be the more healthy (and more sustainable and achievable) alternative to abstinence advocacy.

I think that anyone that believes that teenage abstinence is at all achievable is probably delusional, or at the very least heavily sheltered, on the topic.
That's correct. I had to do some research into the market at one point. From my brief exposure, it's really just "macros" and "macro recorders" of old, being re-sold under the new enterprise buzzword of "RPA".

That works when everyone is being honest about the country of origin. That doesn't help if Russia makes the product, slaps "made in Turkey" on it, and then ships it to Turkey to get it to the US.
fwiw, I'm with you. Excuse the gratuitous war analogy, but I suspect the approach of OP is akin to talking about which first 8 steps to take (north-east, SW, S) when going into battle -- it's such a small scope of the whole event that it's pointless, and talking about those first steps makes one seem naive to the actual holistic task
Malta is in the EU.
Arguably, the tablet revolution never came, but the large smartphone revolution did. Software like PureOS en PostmarketOS exists because KDE and GNOME and other software was made touch-friendlier.
No. I doubt any human could even beat Stockfish running on a decent smartphone.

Big showcase computer-human matches ended in the mid-2000s. That's about the point when people realized it was hopeless to try to beat computers. The best you could do back then was draw, by playing extremely defensive "anti-computer" chess (positions where the pawns clog up the board, making short-term tactics useless, and making long-term strategy more important). But with modern engines (particularly AlphaZero, which understands positional chess much better than previous engines), even anti-computer chess doesn't work. Now, the top players actually rave about the games played by AlphaZero. Magnus Carlsen has said he wants to play like AlphaZero.

For a more quantitative comparison, these are the Elo scores of the top chess engines: https://www.computerchess.org.uk/ccrl/404/

A difference of 400 Elo points means that the better player should score 0.9 (where 1=win, 0.5=draw, 0=loss). The top computers are about 3600 Elo nowadays, compared to 2870 for the best human (Magnus). It's difficult to directly compare human and computer Elos, but this comparison is based on computer-human games played in the late 1990s to early 2000s. Still, computers are many hundreds of Elo points above the very best human players.

UNEP: 1.5C climate target ‘slipping out of reach’
Sorry, I think I misspoke. Thumbnails do generate properly and show up in GTK file picker, without needing any kind of hard dependency on gnome or any desktop services. That's not actually a hard problem, it was standardized way back.

The actual problem is this 15 year old bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/233

This right here has collected most of the patches I'd consider to be important, and the maintenance requirements do not appear to be significant. Of course it is work that doesn't directly benefit the gnome DE.

https://github.com/krumelmonster/gtk3-mushrooms

But it's important to note that GTK is not gnome. It's really important to recognize that as gnome fights harder to become it's own platform, that other platforms do make use of GTK. The gnome-foundation being completely inflexible on the needs of other projects means that at the end of the day it is really hard for other people to collaborate on GTK.

Gnome can do whatever it wants, but the idea that GTK is only supposed to serve the gnome project does seem like a bit of a betrayal. That seems to be a pretty common thought: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK#Criticism
Your argument fails spectacularly. Mark Twain covers it better than I could:

"In the space of one hundred and seventy-six years the Lower Mississippi has shortened itself two hundred and forty-two miles. That is an average of a trifle over one mile and a third per year. Therefore, any calm person, who is not blind or idiotic, can see that in the Old Oolitic Silurian Period,' just a million years ago next November, the Lower Mississippi River was upwards of one million three hundred thousand miles long, and stuck out over the Gulf of Mexico like a fishing-rod. And by the same token any person can see that seven hundred and forty-two years from now the Lower Mississippi will be only a mile and three-quarters long, and Cairo and New Orleans will have joined their streets together, and be plodding comfortably along under a single mayor and a mutual board of aldermen. There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact."

The wealth of people like Bazos, Gates, Buffet, Greenspan, etc turn the suffering of entire generations into rounding errors.

We now have trackers acting like first-party properties, but where do you draw the line between first-party and third-party? What I mean is, if I build my own in-house analytics app that does a lot of what Adobe's product does, should that be blocked too?

I specifically mean for site analytics, like Experience Cloud or GA, not serving ads. Ad block is different IMO.

If this is hosted on a first party subdomain you're already blocking the ability of it to set third-party cookies and track you across sites. So, in practical terms, what's the difference between this CNAME trick and building the same thing in-house to run your own analytics?

If a car competes with a human on a track for the 100 meter dash then there is no point. There doesn't exist competition between cars and humans now on race tracks. The problem with AI gaming is that it does exist and they will face each other. It's about the efforts to have AI compete with humans.

When robots start to compete with humans at olympic events and beat humans at those event there will then be no point to those events.
AlphaGo spent months training and continued to improve for the whole time. Its improvement slowed, just as it takes more work for humans to get from master to international master than it does from D-level player to C-level player. But it did not stop improving.

And then AlphaZero was better than AlphaGo after around a day of self-training.

Furthermore you are arguing for an opening book without considering how small an advantage an opening book would be. As I have said repeatedly, an opening book takes a tremendous amount of work to generate, will only go a few ply in, and the positions it directs you to will only be a tiny bit better.

Therefore for the foreseeable future, more training and better algorithms will produce better results than trying to create an opening book. Theoretically this could change. But that day will not be today or this year. I would be astonished if it happened during this decade. I would be surprised if it happened in a lifetime.

Your proposed approach is an excellent one for many games. But not for Go.
I agree there may well be some challenges along the way but I'll do my best to prepare and prevent them. I'm always reading and learning more about the best measures to have in place for the server.

Do you realize a lot of people have to grow up or live in environments where none of these are present? When all you see around you is injustice, it's kinda hard to not want to make 'justice' with your bare hands.

Besides, creating an "us vs them" mentality in whatever subject you choose is a great way to manipulate people, and that generates hate.

It's also very quietly dismissive of centuries of engineering work that has gone into the Netherlands. Doing that over a couple of decades instead of a century? That's going to be a lot more work. (And likely the straw to break the camel's back on such already heavily burdened engineering projects like The Netherlands and Venice.) I saw one breakdown of the inflation-adjusted engineering costs once somewhere that the Netherlands has invested over the centuries and I recall it being a stunning amount of money in today's dollars.

That's funny, I also took up motorcycling this year, and it does seem like the sort of people who frequent forests and camping areas are more friendly and outgoing than I'm used to. But it seems like a lot of that friendliness stems from the comfortable certainty that you'll never see each other again - it feels more like fleeting empathy than comradery. I appreciate having met most of the people who I see on the road, but it doesn't seem like a good way to make friends; I've never seen any of them a second time. I'm glad that it's working out for you, though.

The best I can do for location is, "somewhere in the USA". It's gotten so bad that I recently gave up hope of ever finding a sense of acceptance or belonging, so I gave up on city life to explore national parks and forests. I might emigrate eventually, but I'm honestly hoping that I'll just die before I have to worry about a job or career again, and backcountry exploring is dangerous enough that I might get lucky. It's not that I think that running away from my problems will do anything to fix them, but given how impossible it is to meet people in cities, I figure that this is a more peaceful and calm way to wait for the same lonely death.
If that were true the number of fires would be going down every year. However on average for the last 5-10 years the number of fires is pretty constant.

If anything there's a gradual trend of increasing number of fires in the last 6-7 years.

Perhaps because my history book was a textbook first, the CCP touches were extra. Not the other way around.
Funny, things were substantially different here in the US back around 1999-2004. Cost of living was substantially lower and consumer pricing was actually better in the US than elsewhere. Fast-forward to today and we're all being gouged by the telecoms, food prices, tuition bills, health insurance, real estate prices... well you get the idea. What's the big difference between then and now? Many, many mega-mergers. For example, back in 1999 there were 17 major airlines. Today there are four. The government plays a big role in this, as do the major corporations since they draft their own legislation and have their bought and paid for politicians sponsor the bills. I've heard the situation summed up as: in Europe, the governments work for the people. In the US, the government works for the big corps and that means, it's not working for the people.
I've actually spun off a company to do exactly this for small businesses. Slack, trello, zapier, CRMs...the potential to automate is MASSIVE and a wildly underserved market.

It's an open problem whether or not one of the sides in chess has a "winning strategy". That's a technical game-theoretical term. If white has a "winning strategy", that means there's a way for white to play such that black will inevitably lose. Likewise, if black has a "winning strategy", that means there's a way for black to play such that white will inevitably lose.

Exercise to the reader: prove that at most one color can have a winning strategy.

Since the problem is open, it could be that one side has a winning strategy. It's even theoretically possible there's a winning strategy simple enough for a human to follow. In which case, yes, a human could beat computers with 100% dominance--as long as the human is allowed to choose which color to play.
