> That only matters to you because you were taught different spellings for those words.

Are you going to claim that the difference is no longer relevant? If so, I'm going to disagree, but recognise that there's no point in debating the issue. Language mutates over time, differences become irrelevant, other differences and distinctions emerge. Even so, using newer forms can significantly impede understanding.

If that's not your point then I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Let me say it differently.

The comment to which I was replying said:

> ... both spelling and character recall can be delegated to technology ... I use spelling checkers ...

My point is that spelling checkers don't help in the cases I sight. Sorry, cite. If someone uses "you're" when they mean "your" then it disrupts my flow when I'm reading and impairs effective communication, and likely I'm not the only one.

So using a spelling checker is useful, and indeed, I use one, but they do not solve all the problems.

You are correct that "read" being pronounced in different ways according to the context does not disrupt my flow in the same way, but that observation does not diminish my point that spelling checkers do help in all cases.

1. Compared to Notion, it encourages emergent organization rather then top-down/up-front organization. One of the key features here is how it handles `backlinking`. As I mention a [[subject]] during research, note-taking, diary writing, or whatever -- the page for [[subject]] gets implicitly filled with content.

2. Yes, it exports to org-mode structured text.
There's IMA subsystem that generally does the same, providing verification for executables at least ones that are linked and loaded normally - for obvious reasons it can't exactly fix cases where you have a signed binary that loads unsigned code into itself.

The system supports integration with TPM-stored keys, so you can bind to kernel verification or the whole firmware chain of trust (a question of which PCRs you end up using to bind the keys).

Unfortunately, it's not well known (especially if you don't compile your own kernel reading through all the options), and generally, not many distributions look into providing it - plus everything involving SecureBoot and TPM has to deal with poisoned opinions in open source community.

So yes, CUDA may have been supported for Ubuntu, but we had a 16x K-80 cluster which apparently needs more hand-holding.

There were issues with cards dropping and becoming unavailable during use (turned out it was a slight power-imbalance from the power supply to the cards.) We encountered this within a month of purchase from an NVIDIA-listed Preferred/Authorized Enterprise Reseller. They couldnt fix the issue and escalated it to NVIDIA who promptly yelled at us for even trying to run Ubuntu.

They also noted that if there were overheat-related damage they would refuse to honor the warranty. On a side note, apparently they were very upset at the Authorized Reseller and soon that reseller was no longer on the NVIDIA list of Authorized Resellers.

On a side note, features like GPU-Direct were not even available on Ubuntu.
Turo doesn't own the underlying asset that they're renting out, and is just a marketplace for others to bear the capital costs of buying a car, and most of the operational costs of keeping it running.

Their model is quite different than car2go's, which involved buying cars, keeping them safe and running, etc.

At work I inherited the job of maintaining several internal web apps that are run on OpenShift and it has not been a good experience at all. These are the smallest and least important servers that I'm responsible for, but have taken by far the most time.

To be fair, OpenShift should probably never have been used for these low traffic apps in the first place and I could see it being a good tool for a product that anticipates needing to scale up or down quickly. But for a relatively simple CRUD app with modest traffic I haven't seen any benefit to using OpenShift over a simple Linux server running Apache/Nginx, and it adds a lot of unnecessary complexity.
There's definitely a sidebar on both, but they're not "connected" - the moderators need to set up the sidebar on the new site separately, and updates on either side don't affect the other one. A lot of subreddits just haven't bothered doing any setup on the new site (or don't even realize it's necessary).
This is complete nonsense. Enterprises like to buy from organizations like RedHat because it provides a safety net. On top of that, you typically appreciate the fact that your suppliers make money, because that increases the chance they will stay in business.
Ah, I interpreted his statement as meaning it was out of political favour right now, rather than being out of political favour at the times it was written or published.
SuSE never took hold in the United States. RedHat did.
From personal experience I can say universities and large science collaborations are heavy Red Hat users.
The only somewhat encouraging thing to me in the IG report was that the FBI's lawyers refused to submit the FISA application initially because there wasn't enough meat to the suspicions about Carter Page. They reversed their decision only when the investigators decided to credulously include the allegations from the Steele dossier. The optimistic take on this would be that maybe it's a big black eye to your career if you get rejected by the FISC, so they're careful about what they take there.

Of course, it was an FBI lawyer who later doctored an email from the CIA to say Carter Page was not working with the CIA when the email actually said he was, allowing them to renew his surveillance two more times. But hopefully that guy goes to jail.
Or maybe this kind of self righteous stuff just isn't necessary at all.

Stable updates are nice in general. If you're looking for a distro with old software with bare updates then use RHEL. If you're looking for a modern distro with frequent stable updates then use Arch.
The article focuses on the resolution of tax liability with CA, but it also mentions InfoSys heavily misclassifying immigrants, which seems to expose them to federal prosecution as well -- isn't that going to have much worse consequences? Will CA's sanctuary policy have implications for the feds' ability to prosecute (i.e. does it extend to "no we won't pass on what they represented in their filings")?

Also, $800k feels like not enough deter this kind of thing.
~2010 I worked at Samsung headquarters for a week or so. Other than the backstabbing corporate nature of the place, the degree to which employee autonomy was reduced in all ways (residential situation, transportation, highly regimented schedule, physical security inspections) was shocking. Very glad to leave.
I don't disagree with anything you said, but I mentioned the benefit because the blog explicitly denies any benefit. But the reviewers do call out a conflict of interest. They criticized it because it read like an ad, and I agree. I've seen other Apache projects (looking at Drill) that read like an ad, and it's annoying.
I do hiring interview in my company and one of the test we like to do is to give the interviewee a problem out of his area of expertise and open a browser and an editor for him and tell him that he is allowed to search for things.

The drug companies have a solution to patent limits called "evergreening" where once a patent is about to expire they make a very slight modification to the formula, pump massive amounts of cash into marketing it as "new and better" even when there are little to no benefits over the old formula. Doctors are easily bribed or mislead into prescribing the expensive new formula over generics and drug companies can continue to make large profits on old drugs instead of innovating.

Interviews should be personalized. That they are conducted en masse with little consideration for applicant background is an artifact of the difficulty of adequate personalization. Targeted ads are valued precisely because they are targeted, presumably increasing the chance of a match. Has anyone heard of any startup companies in the personalized interview space?

I've been to several universities and other research labs with "Linux machines" which were running Redhat.
yep -- Centos [which distro I favor for servers] is verrry slow with patches, upgrades, and other additions -- but it is 100% rock solid with no surprises. I use other distros for desktop and various uses, but for servers, I stick with CentOS for stability [or Debian, if CentOS not available]
Yep, I ended up speaking with HPC folks running big NVIDIA GPU rigs at Oak Ridge and they also confirmed, there is no realistic option aside from Red Hat.

Yeah, I’m highly skeptical that marijuana makes you legitimately more dumb. If I had to guess, I’d suspect that there are other factors that lead to this result. I’m skeptical because I have seen friends and acquaintances who were “dulled out” by drugs during this period of their life. While many of them were “heavy users” of marijuana, all of them were dulled from other psychotropic drugs(ecstasy being the big one), and most of them lost more than 6-8 IQ points. More like 20+ points.

If anything, I’d say that marijuana use tends to make the brain more doubtful, even of itself. In real life this is a mostly positive trait, but it is punished by the IQ test I think.

Why would you bother to do any of that? If you accidentally allow an unsandboxed app to access ~/Downloads without prompting, it's just like using a Windows or Linux or Mojave system. Who cares?
Why isn't it meaningful or fulfilling to do a "dirty job" that other people need done?

It seems like people just get stuck with the contradiction that if they are good people, they must care about others, but they don't like doing things for other people.

I've noticed that a lot of people in IT seem to gravitate towards a position in which they have power...to say "no". If you like saying "yes", you will go down a different road. And yes, I know the typical responses to that and why you shouldn't do that.
They are not illegal immigrants so probably the CA sanctuary policy doesn't apply. Now the question is are the Fed pursuing any prosecution.
My initial thoughts exactly.
That's a good point... Making changes quickly and dramatically does have some effects that might be negative. However, it's usually very difficult for such changes to happen slowly and progressively.

Those kind of changes tend to come when a large percent of the population is fed up with the way things are and start to agitate for changes. At that point, it's unlikely to happen progressively... So it's a bit of a catch 22, as long as the people who benefit from the current state of society are in power (or control those who are in power), change are unlikely to come progressively since it would be disadvantageous to them but, once they lose the reigns (as they inevitably do), change happen so fast that it's both potentially bad for the society at large and worse for the ones who used to be at the top.

I'm not sure there are many examples of enlightened robber barons who allowed progressive changes that were counter to their interests but improved society as a whole.

Car shares are quite popular in Vancouver, probably because we only just got Uber/Lyft. Personally, I prefer to drive myself, so I haven't been missing ride sharing.

We do have a local car share company here that appears to be thriving. It's run by BCAA, which already provides roadside assistance so there is some synergy there. They used a car share platform provider called vulog.

They have recently disrupted traditional car rentals, in my opinion. They dropped a 200km limit per trip, so you can take them anywhere for $90 CDN per day, including fuel and insurance. It is as cheap or cheaper than a traditional car rental without all the hassle.

I doubt any sanctuary city/state policies would impact federal investigation (and prosecution) of visa fraud. When a state/city declared itself a sanctuary, it typically relates to turning over immigrants to ICE, usually after they've been apprehended for non-immigration reasons (speeding and other minor crimes). I haven't heard of those policies extending to broader immigration crime.

Exactly this happend at a former employer who got sold; employees were promised a lot, streamlining and new projects were put in motion, the buyers took and integrated the half of the company they were interested in, and then they repacked and resold the rest to the next competitor. The show however was always a good one, with C-suits flying in on private jets to "represent and reassure".

Assurances from corporations and their representatives, barring hard contracts beset with penalties, are not worth a dime. Moot, hot air, non-actionable.

That is not what Wikipedia's policies say. They say that if a topic full-fills the notability criteria there should be an article for it. It does not say that if an article is bad it should be deleted - rather the contrary - if an article is bad, improve it!

This was the ethos of the project in the beginning but is not the ethos anymore. People have realized how valuable it is for companies and other actors to have their own article on Wikipedia. Therefore Wikipedians have created a very bureaucratic system for deciding which articles should be created. And people like to wield power. For example, by rejecting perfectly good articles.

I think it's also having deeper expertise than is available even for that $1.25m/year.

In a previous life, we paid perhaps $25k to a postgres consultancy that did support. They employed some of the core devs, and their promise was that you could escalate to a core dev within perhaps 24h. My employer hit a very weird performance regression when a database crossed a boundary size and having that deep expertise on call to diagnose, figure out a short-term fix, and help get a long-term fix deployed was invaluable and worth every penny.

The type of people who have millions of dollars of hardware under management pay for support so they can get super deep expertise on hand when they need it.
Stamping Out Online Sex Trafficking May Have Pushed It Underground
Umm NSAIDs like Naproxen have their own list of issues which may be worse than Tylenol. Another issue is that Tylenol is often used because it does not interact with other NSAIDs so if you are not sure if someone has taken medication with a NSAID in it, you can safely give them Tylenol, generally speaking, where as if you give them more NSAIDs you could potentially risk an overdose. So its not as simple as Napoxen is superior to Tylenol. IANAD,

You add regulation to businesses based in the US and that sell in the US specifying, explicitly, that they cannot use resources mined via exploitative practices. And then when businesses do anyway, because they will, you confiscate profits tied to products that were made that way. Repeat until they get the damn point.
500 employees means less than 2k per employee. I suspect they made a much more significant profit than the fine they just received.

I don’t understand why criminal charges weren’t applied to the people who committed perjury, and why the fine was not a whole number multiple of the profit they made through their fraud.

I say this as a person who spent many years on an H1-B, and is sick of getting shit on because of these “consulting” companies.

Let’s be honest: technical specialist visas have no business in general outsourcing/contracting firms. By definition a company offering outsourcing services is not a company that is hiring specialists.
I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for that. Besides being an enormous old code base, IBM is well aware that it’s their primary unique storage value prop for an installed base they hold by the dangly bits (with Oracle-like surprise license audits too!). Many of whom would jump to an open source version and ditch the dubious support that today’s IBM offers.
I generally avoid defaults exports as well but didn't realize some codebases disable them completely.
What do you mean by "non-default-exporting" TSX files, can you provide a link?

Definitely, you could add a transform to the Cosmos build pipeline that renames some named export to default. If you're willing to write the transform I'll gladly help you integrate it.
I would hope those 5 people have other responsibilities besides babysitting the OS all day long every day.

Especially since Mozilla has been working on WebThings which is home automation protocol over HTTP.

There is a place for both WebThings and this new protocol. WebThings is too heavy for low-power devices and mesh networks like Bluetooth and Thread.

Pretty cool. Perhaps consider a reset to default in-game on the puzzle...
Holy shit this an amazing reply and I couldn’t be happier you took the time. I had read some about of the issues you you talked about but you highlighted even more.

I might go down the secondhand/used route if I do decide to do it. Right now I’ve got a single all-in-one router running LEDE and I like it but I’m not able to reach more than 60% of my fiber internet so I’ve been looking to upgrade. I decided that if I was going to throw a couple hundred at it I figured I might as well go all in.

It’s always sad to see a company throw away such a promising future. I saw their new AmpliFi “Alien” router and I’m half tempted to buy that and wait a few more years for a better option to present itself. Or even the UDM but it seems like a very odd offering to me... I guess I’ll keep looking, thank you again for the advice.
I, for one, welcome our IBM overlords.
Right - I presume if you pay RedHat enough and you have a serious problem with, say, JRuby, that they ping the JRuby lead and it gets fixed. What's your generalist support person that you directly employ doing? Poking around in the JRuby code base for the first time in their lives while your business is offline?
OpenShift is basically Kubernetes LTS edition with some of the sharp edges filed down. It is absolutely overkill for a few small apps, as you said.
