> The biggest corporations pay lots of "taxes".

what does putting taxes in quotation marks signify here? do you think they pay taxes under some other name?

> It's interesting how corporations "aren't people" until taxes come up :)

what's the argument here? are you saying that only natural people should be taxed?
I'm not quite sure what "drop frames" means in this context, but a use case would be stepping through the debugger, realising that the problem might be in a piece of code that has already executed, and wanting to inspect the value of a variable at that point in time.

Or even more mundane: accidentally hitting "Step over" twice in a row.
If you just want to try it out, the easiest is often Gitlab Development Kit.

gem install gitlab-development-kit
gdk init
cd gitlab-development-kit
gdk run

I doubt it will work today though; it's probably pulling everything from Gitlab.

For Docker, check out https://hub.docker.com/r/gitlab/gitlab-ce I haven't tried it out for myself but it seems popular :)

Heh, happens to the best of us! Seems to be coming back online now.
We have seen that doctors said & agreed that fats are bad and that cigarettes are good.

So to dismiss any reasearch which shows that our effect on the climante is lesser than we thing is equally stupid.

There is a difference between protecting the planet and blindly following anything that climate "scientists" say.

Even in natural sciences 50% of articles is wrong due to statistics being hard and humans being humans.

Climate activism has been politized: and once that happens all objectivity goes out of the window.

In germany a group of scientists who wanted to present that research that goes against the "climate destruction" agenda were threatened by local antifa-like thugs and the police did nothing to protect them.

Modern climate activism is the same as book burning where the book burning now means "destroy anything that shows us the opposite".

Thus it is not objective anymore and thus we cannot really trust anything that comes from it.

If your reasearch $$$ depends on you to keep showing that humans are destroying the climate then in one way or the other you will find the reason, no matter how far-fetched it might be: humans want money and a good life.

I don't get what's the point on this. In my opinion a single page has barely content enough to develop anything interesting and because of it, it could be quite difficult to bring the context of the previous page every day you read a new one. I can't see how one can get hooked to read a book this way.
Yes. Most of them are evolutions of legacy code bases and that's why they're also security nightmares.

If you're building anything new it's very hard to make a valid case for coding in C. You're almost always better off working in Rust, Java, Swift or Go

How Y Combinator Started (2012)
Something that I don't understand (and I haven't lived in the USA to know): when you get tested for something, you don't walk away with the results? They are kept in some system that only the MD who asked for them have access ??? You are unable to give the results to some other doctor, asking for a second opinion?
The online version has non-free plans as well, so I don't see your point of not relying on it.

I go to specsavers, and I've never had anything other than an awesome experience there. Sure, they do lightly pressure you into buying a new pair (definitely far from a bad experience, though), but if you do, the test is free (otherwise it's about 20 pounds I think). Also, the coatings are actually very good, I have coated and uncoated glasses, and the coat is definitely worth the money.

My mom came over last christmas. In my home county, glasses are very expensive and getting an opticians appointment can take months. She walked into Specsavers on a Monday, and by Thursday she had two new pairs of glasses, all for under 300 pounds. Just the appointment would have cost that much back home. After she talked about the experience with our family, I've been getting a steady stream of relatives coming over for a visit, just to buy glasses.
That's the point, it's not anachronistic.

Likely just means they have a Single Point of Failure.

Some guesses would be:

Automation/orchestration - They've migrated to k8s (I don't believe they've actually done this yet), but it could be their orchestration / automation tool automated a broken thing everywhere.

Database/Auth - Pretty much everything in gitlab will touch the database as far as I'm aware. Otherwise, how do you check whether users are auth'd to take action something. You wouldn't expect this to break the static website, i.e. the sales landing pages, but these could be based off an internal CMS, or could be checking for "guest" role session.

DNS/Service Discovery - As a sibling posted, "it's always DNS". It's good practice to use names for services instead of IP addresses, but this means your DNS needs to generally work, or everything will go down. Service Discovery could rely on DNS, but it could also be an API call that finds out DNS addresses or IP addresses directly.

CDN - You wouldn't typically put this in front of auth'd usage, and typically a CDN might not be helpful in front of something like SSH, but a quick look at fastly suggests they might support this. The main downside is sharing all the user data / auth tokens.

Security Product / CA - All you need is a requirement to encrypt internal traffic and rotate secrets, and you end up with a secret store that sits in the middle of everything.

Storage Layer - I believe they were big on Ceph for a while. If everything is backed by Ceph, everything will go down if you fail with Ceph.

Obviously, whatever it is, you'd expect them to split up their fail over plan a bit more in the future if it is something like that, but usually there's a single point of failure somewhere.
I'm not too familiar with "recording in the Chrome devtools", but this allows you to actually step back as well as forward in the debugger, e.g. for inspecting the value a variable had when code executed before.

I only said "root volumes" as it's a common use case for EBS volumes. For instance with etcd running in a container you would want the host volume to be an EBS volume since it's critical it's a critical K8S component.
How do you know that they do not hire "any people with ops experence"? Do you have insight? Is there any public evidence for this or anything you could publish yourself to add some substance to your words?

It would be great if you understand that just saying something is not enough on the internet.
Naive question, but with a commercial product like the i.MX8M from NXP Semiconductors, is there really not enough in it for them to develop Linux support for their product, rather than leaving it to other parties? Presumably some OS supported things like the i.MX8M’s accelerometer from the launch date, or are these chips shipped to OEMs on the basis that the low level functions work, but all OS support has to be created by someone else?
Yeah, no. India is a democracy, start with that.

It looks like it's externally hosted at status.io. It makes sense to have your status page on separate hosting otherwise it can go down at the same time as your main infrastructure and that defeats the point of having a status page.
Not the OP, but I'd guess the only connection to potential antisemitism is the critical mention of Sheldon Adelson, "an American business magnate, investor, philanthropist" who is very supportive of some of the politics carried out by the Israeli state.

A friend of mine interviewed for some kind of ops role there.

He was asked to clone a repo during the interview, he told me it was almost a GB.

When he commented it was slow compared to Github, the engineer interviewing him told him it was his fault for living in Australia and that they have bad internet and they're too far away from everything.

Go figure.

I thought something similar: Pixel clock or some harmonic of it feeding back into the wifi chip via the power lines (image search says the chip is in a metal box, so should not be via over-the-air-RF). Thanks for doing the math.

Forcing a different pixel clock is probably the easiest fix, and since the ports claim to do 4kp60, that should be possible (if the display supports it).

I think Netflix would see better returns if they invested in something more mainstream and kid friendly like Nick Parks work (e.g. Shaun the sheep).

Either way, I'm pretty sure Walt Disneys greed will in the end bite them in the ass since big companies like Netflix now have a reason to invest in small studios.
Interesting. It definitely didn't seem the case for web dev outside of Rails though. In the mid-2000s it felt to me like the default was Linux (because servers were running Linux) and beginners started on Windows (because that's what they already had at home). But then again web dev mostly meant LAMP (or WAMP for development, via XAMPP).

But this may be a regional thing (so selection bias again). When I was freelancing as a Python web dev, the few places that used Python usually used Plone/Zope (barely anyone used Django or Flask) and there were even fewer places using Ruby except startups. The popularity of Plone/Zope seems to be very much a German thing, just like SuSE Linux and Typo3/Drupal (instead of Wordpress). We've even had a very large Firefox marketshare until fairly recently (because of privacy concerns over Google Chrome).

That said, in European JS conferences over the past five years I'm definitely seeing more and more non-macbooks each year.
I think the point of calculating using imaging vs a model that requires layout and flat land etc is this would be cheaper to build. You have to build one collection tower/ target, and the mirrors can aim themselves. This greatly reduces the grading, measurement etc and makes installing on existing land without needing to flatten at all, or to some crazy tolerance, much easier. I can see this used in rolling hills, with less impact etc possible.
In most debuggers you can drop back up the stack to the code that called the function you are currently in, and thus debug through the function call again.

Example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2367816/when-using-the-j...

>But I'm not sure how much the copper foil will buy you.

It'll do very little. There is a paper authored by US army talking about various EMP protection measures. The minimum reliable protection there is a 12mm thick (half inch) mild steel container with a lead seal.

This is why if there is ever a nuclear war the vacuum tube equipment will be the only stuff that survives.
Yes, the catcher does miss the ball occasionally. It's common for the pitches to be 90 MPH or higher. I've seen them as high as 104 MPH. The ball will also move; it's not always thrown in a straight line. Some times it cuts across the plate, other times it can drop as it crosses the plate. If the catcher knows where to expect the ball they have a higher probability of catching it.

The trouble being that epigenetics effects (if any) are hard to separate from diet and exercise - habits which are also to a big extent heritable in the short run.

You'd need to run studies on separated twins to cleanly split the two.
I can just confirm it. At least in Germany, it's impossible to do research in this Area without being politically inline with the Left agenda. Climate or Gender studies.. impossible to have a non-biased research being published.

The article in Nature published as a "Comment" is "Climate tipping points — too risky to bet against" - https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-03595-0

For the ice sheet collapses, it takes 100s or 1000s of years for the effects to be realized. Others such as permafrost melting or Amazon forest disappearance are faster, but time scales are not given. For example -

>The Greenland ice sheet is melting at an accelerating rate3. It could add a further 7 m to sea level over thousands of years if it passes a particular threshold. Beyond that, as the elevation of the ice sheet lowers, it melts further, exposing the surface to ever-warmer air. Models suggest that the Greenland ice sheet could be doomed at 1.5 °C of warming3, which could happen as soon as 2030.

>Thus, we might already have committed future generations to living with sea-level rises of around 10 m over thousands of years3. But that timescale is still under our control. The rate of melting depends on the magnitude of warming above the tipping point. At 1.5 °C, it could take 10,000 years to unfold3; above 2 °C it could take less than 1,000 years6. Researchers need more observational data to establish whether ice sheets are reaching a tipping point, and require better models constrained by past and present data to resolve how soon and how fast the ice sheets could collapse.

From what I understand they would give you a bunch of binary blobs or either have a fork of the Linux kernel with a lot of patches to get the device working.

So they may support a single old version because the effort of upstreaming the support would be expensive.

The blog post says that the Librem paid 15 developers full time for 2 years on the project.

That's a huge expense and most of all the customers of the SoC won't be demanding upstream support.

Of course also what happens is that you get into a rabbit hole of patching your fork until it becomes a huge task to reintegrate.
That's not very humble. His assertions are quite basic, and don't need research-grade qualifications to consider. The earth has certainly prehistorically been much warmer, so nature handled it just fine, and it is an interesting question to consider how much more arable land a warmer earth would have.

> It turns out that the main advantage of domes – no internal supports – becomes a major liability on Mars. While rigid geodesic domes on Earth are compressive structures, on Mars, a pressurized dome actually supports its own weight and then some. As a result, the structure is under tension and the dome is attempting to tear itself out of the ground. Since lifting force scales with area, while anchoring force scales with circumference, domes on Mars can’t be much wider than about 150 feet, and even then would require extensive foundation engineering.
