Nitpick: A navy doesn't necessarily need a harbour directly at the high seas. Austria has had a navy with patrol vessels on the river danube from which they could theoretically reach the high seas until 2006. Also: Military installations on foreign soil are not all that uncommon (as I'm sure Americans can appreciate). I believe that Austria has had vessels in Trieste, even when Trieste was already part of Italy and Austria was already landlocked.

Comments like this are similar to this comment at the bottom of the article: "TBH, using a spreadsheet like a database enables developers to use spreadsheets for databases. Which is not what spreadsheets are made for. If you need a database, pay for a database."

Basically, "shut up and stop complaining".

For a company like Comcast, sure, they are horrible and always were - so there is nothing new to share. But google used to be AWESOME and I was a huge google fanboy back when Yahoo and Altavista dominated the search space. Over time, Google got stale, then monopolistic, then careless, then evil. It's something to talk about, and central to our tech world, so I won't shut up about it! Nor will tens of thousands of others that are pissed off that Google continues to make bad decisions as an entity.

Well, I worked for quite some time in a code base that was basically one big ball of missed abstractions. Maybe I was traumatized a bit by that. I also have seen wrong abstractions, but not because there should not be an abstraction. If people had actually written abstractions that removed duplication instead of the ones that they half-understood from the design pattern book, they would have had come up with better ones. Duplication is in fact the best way to find the correct abstraction. The article makes this sound suspect but it really is not. The whole literature of design patterns is basically unneeded. If one just follows the path of deduplication one will discover all of them one by one and one will have applied the right one in the right place. Maybe there is some value in noticing that one still has to keep thinking and keep an eye on the likely future and not blindly do this but that is no more than a small footnote to the main message which is that you will find all the right abstractions by removing duplication. It is quite right that in TDD the refactor step is often described as the removal of duplication.
Can KubeEdge Replace Kubernetes? (In Case of Edge Computing)
I always look at their github to see if it has interesting things.

I want to see how they write code and (hopefully) how they release software. That's either going to come from released code, a coding interview, or some kind of coding assignment. I'd much rather see their work on something they're passionate about and have had time to polish to their own satisfaction, so github is the best case scenario.

It's also nice to talk with them about their github projects during the interview. It puts them more at ease and on familiar ground so that we can really dig deep into their software development and design philosophies. The less pressured and anxious they feel, the better.

Ideally, I hope to find that they've arranged their profile page to show their best work first so that I don't have to go digging through it, but that's not something I'd hold against them; it just means that I might miss their best work.

Nowadays, you could probably make an SSD that looks like an old 3’’ floppy. Might get a bit hot (because of very little airflow and thermal paste) but it could carry plenty of chips/terabytes, in all that space. Add a protected USB-C socket, and at the other end a flexible dock-attachment (like the Nintendo Switch) that looks like an old drive, and you’d have a very retro-looking removable-storage system you can point the kids at.
If I'm not mistaken Singapore and Bermuda have higher average incomes than the US and Europe. On the other hand the people of Costa Rica, Uruguay and Chile for example are mostly pretty happy with their circumstances as are other middle income countries that are not kleptocracies. China too is coming up fast in terms of income if not democracy. Hard to argue that it's not a gated community too even if the gate is bi-directional in this case. Overall this looks like a cherry picking exercise.
It took me 4 months to develop this cryptocurrency education website.:)
I am surprised many of my non-gaming friends/relatives, even if they do not play themselves, do not seem to be absolutely amazed by modern games. The fact that we can have such rich worlds as GTA 5, affordable to so many, run in one's living room, with such amazing graphics and overall richness, that we can control and interact with, rendered in 4k in real time! Even as a tech person I find that almost unbelievable. And all of that created in such a short period of time, too!

To me, it seems like an absolutely astonishing achievement of humanity, one of the marvels of this world. Completely mindblowing. And yet the reaction I get from a lot of people, e.g. my older relatives, but also people in their 30s and 40s, is of complete indifference - "meh, games are for kids". I struggle to understand that.

Nice font. I think it’s a bit sad that the only difference between zero and the letter O is the center dot: usually other fonts make the O slightly more round. This one is squarish.

The site design is nice but I found it a bit odd that they didn’t include many of the similar character like O, 0, 1, l, I. That is one of the first things I look for and one of the primary reasons I would choose a new font.

But it did keep me entertained for a bit.
I saw some comments like this last time there a smart TV thread. However, none of the commenters were able to substantiate these allegations.
I personally took a sabbatical precisely to rediscover my love for the craft of programming, on which I'd become pretty burned out. Travel was great, and I acquired a lifetime of stories, but I missed home and feeling like I was achieving something -- as well as the earning of money that I knew I was spending at a rapid clip.

That's just me, of course. I have long enjoyed programming, and am incredibly lucky to be good at a lucrative job. You might find that a year of climbing glaciers or weaving tapestries ruins you for the office job. I personally am well aware that if I were to pursue my passion for theater as a means of living, I'd come to hate it. So I dunno if my experience generalizes, but that's my $.02 for what it's worth.

(I can say that I'd heard a figure of $2M rather than $3M, and God I hope so. That burnout thing cost me over a decade of productive earnings.)

This is a great-looking font, very well put together and a lot of thought put in to make it great for code.

That being said, fonts are very personal.

I compared it to PT Mono (Public Type, another open-source font) and have these observations:

- Ligatures in JB are beautiful. I'm still undecided whether I like them in my code but the aesthetic value is pleasing.

- Weight of JB Regular is heavier than PT.

- Italics are well designed.

- Character spacing is too wide. Words (eg. for identifiers) loose some of their shape and look more like a stream of disjoint characters. Subtle but going back and forth between the 2 fonts, this is the first thing that jumped out. That being said, this would probably benefit code that's rich in symbol characters.

All in all, I'm glad this font exists, it is beautiful. But for my own use, I will stick with my trusty PT Mono.
Sorry, I should have been more clear. I think this is an important (larger) point because we don't need to pretend that this move would completely upend the ad industry. It will just slightly change it, and revert it to how it worked for the hundreds of years that preceded ~2005. I think ceding the argument that this change "breaks" advertising is the wrong move. I think it's important to keep focus of what we do want to break: the sleazy practice of tracking individuals so that they can be targeted for specific ads. That's gross, and absolutely deserves to go away. Publishers can continue to be supported by advertisements. There are tons of mailing lists that already work this way, and several very popular websites (e.g., Daring Fireball)

I had a similar opportunity when I last moved, but the giant historic downtown structure was over a million dollars, and had some visible deterioration that made me think I'd spend another million in repairs.

It also occupied almost the entire plot of land, which for that downtown area, was unusual.

It's easy in many states to pay for a "renewable" energy plan. In practice this means that your energy still comes from the same sources, but your utility purchases renewable energy credits from other solar and wind providers elsewhere in the country and "retires" them. This adds a small amount per-kWh to your bill, but in practice it's still dirt cheap. The problem is that I don't know if the prices are high enough to incentivize providers to actually build out renewable energy sources, or if this just makes people feel good.

They are certainly working designs and products, but I am not sure there are actually medical devices[0].

The research (self) validation [1] talk about similar performances than an existing product.

However, it does not talk about bio compatibility of the material used, potential contamination during manufacturing process, what kind of disinfectants can be used on the product, what is the operating range in terms of pressure, temperature, humidity, etc

A proper medical device manufacturer is also supposed to have a complaint handling unit, to raise and analyze every adverse effect on the field, and report to regulatory bodies the worst hazardous case in a limited time frame, be able to do recall and so on.

So I believe that this coming from the Gaza strip is a real boon because you don't have any other choice, but it does not mean that you could translate that model everywhere in the world.

Edit :

it seems this is registered as a Class 1 medical device in Canada, so it is possible that all my previous point have been addressed (still I am not quite sure how you can validate only a design without the manufacturing/shipping part) I am working on a Class 3 device so it is possible I am more paranoid that I should be...

What do you mean a "preference"? It's a setting in a config file. The distro can take it as is, change it, or not use systemd. It could patch systemd, fork it too, although changing the config file (or probably override it in /etc) would be much easier.

Why did Fedora leave it the way upstream did? Because it's probably a good default. Every UNIX I know of has had this 20 years ago.

The INIT daemon is pretty tightly involved in PIDs. So, not really hand in the cookie jar, in this case.

Audio subsystem, imho, not part of init's job. Bugs? Bloat? not good. If you want to criticize systemd, this is NOT the thing to complain over.

3D printed rocket set for testing in Scotland
I always applaud efforts at new typefaces, but unfortunately I feel this is a badly designed typeface that is worse for legibility, not better. Addressing their three main points in turn:

> 1. Increased height for a better reading experience

A high x-height is good for coding fonts, but this x-height is now too high. To my eye, this is now at the point where lowercase letters are getting harder to distinguish from uppercase letters at a glance, so instead of increasing legibility it's actually decreasing it now. There's a good reason most other coding fonts haven't gone this high.

> 2. The shape of ovals approaches that of rectangular symbols.

Again, this is a problem because it makes letterforms harder to distinguish. It's important that the right side of a "b" look very different from an "h"... but if you make the right side of the "b" very straight, they look more similar. The whole point of letterforms is to be easy to differentiate from each other, not to make them more similar.

> 3. JetBrains Mono’s typeface forms are simple and free from unnecessary details... The easier the forms, the faster the eye perceives them and the less effort the brain needs to process them.

Again, this is just factually false, or else all books would be printed in sans-serif body text instead of serif. The main reason serif fonts are used is that all their extra "details" make reading easier, not harder -- because the eye has more clues to differentiate letters. Now because of resolutions of screens, sans-serif is still sometimes a better choice on computer screens, but this makes distinctiveness of letterforms even more important, not less.

For example, they choose a single-story instead of double-story lowercase "g", which is just harder for the eye to distinguish from a "q". Getting rid of the stem on a "u" also makes it less distinguishable, and harder to read. And so on.

I'm genuinely confused as to how the philosophy for this typeface was developed, when it seems to go directly against basic established principles of legibility.
