Ansible amazing for configuration management, much better than Puppet. Storing the config in YAML makes it super easy to read and maintain, also much better than Puppets method.

As you mention, puppet has a steep learning curve, whereas Ansible has a very shallow one. It’s easy to get running in a few minutes!

We use both Puppet and Ansible at work, and its constant complaints and delays with Puppet whereas Ansible is little complaints and no delays.
Whenever I hear people say they "look for earth-like planets" for life, because life can't exist on planets with conditions 'harmful to life'. (Such as extreme colds), I wonder _why_ they think so.

I'm not educated on the subject, but it seems to me that there's no good reason to think life can't exist in those places simply because we don't live in such a place.

(And, even on earth, there's microbial life in the oddest of places)
As an outsider to economics, I feel like there's much more science in physics/biology, and too many factors in economics for people to make accurate prediction at the moment.

Well I've got all the gadgets controllable now without internet as a requirement. Only the voice part requires it now for us at least. Google home/Amazon echos and phone apps can communicate with the house and surrounds without issue.

Loss of internet access is not an excuse for ignoring basic voice commands in my opinion.

Privacy is also an important factor but not the primary driver for us.

You need to accept some responsibility when deciding to ride a motorcycle. You're essentially saying you're okay with your body acting as the crumple zone in a crash. If it's so dangerous out there that you need to rumble around at 100dB then maybe it's time to reconsider. Many cars have impressive sound dampening and those that don't have wind noise drowning out almost anything else on the road.
I saw a post on reddit where a costco was only letting you buy one (giant) case of TP per purchase.

https://i.imgur.com/m0Efz3E.gifv

There are obvious ways to cheat it, but it still means more people end up with TP. You don't have to go full police state to make the distribution of goods more even.
ICE doesn’t necessarily mean fossil fuel. In Sweden where these cars come from you’ll find E85 (85% renewable ethanol) at every gas station. Not sure what the situation is like in other countries, but for someone who can afford a car like this, it should be possible to run it carbon neutral or nearly so. CO2 isn’t the only emission from an ICE vehicle however.

The amount of rationalization on their part makes me want to vomit. That Dollar General in Kentucky was there and provisioned for the needs of it's local market.

Them jumping in and clearing things out completely blows the hell out of what is a carefully optimized logistics network tuned via competition to keep prices down, and doubling down on resource expenditure to get product from manufacturer to end user at the cheapest cost possible by inflating the number of miles it has to physically travel all in the name of maybe being able to get away with massive price markups.

This behavior is why we can't ever seem to have nice things. Fuck these people and their reckless chicanery. May their reputations follow them for the foreseeable future.
1.0 litre 3 cyl petrol engine in my car makes 120hp and gets 50mpg extra urban. It has dynamic servicing and first service is currently shown as 550 days away. Obviously the 2.0 konigsegg makes 5 times the HP, but maybe double the cylinder volume and half the service time and you can ramp up the compression enough to multiply the hp by 5?

The UK's deaths and confirmed cases are significantly higher per capita, though Ireland does look better than the US.

I guess this only leaves Eastern Europe (non-EU or outside Schengen) as not banned?

Agreed though that I'm not sure how this is going to make a difference.
There has been barely any snow this year in New York. Certainly none was on the bridges before the corona thing. It hasn't regularly been freezing even for most of February. Which was mostly the same as last March.

While it's probable that the warmer weather probably has had some effect, I doubt it can explain the whole increase.
My impression is that gamers still represent a much larger pool of GPU hardware than crypto miners.

Don't you think that "ideological reasons" can be quite a good reason to do things?

Besides, following ideological reasons only means to value certain (other) aspects higher for evaluating the question how good something is.

Usually the term ideological implies (in my book) that a person is considering the greater good, and willing to take a step back in own convenience. That sounds like a nice person to me. Maybe you could spare some curiosity for their reasons?

Interesting links! Thank you.
You make a good point: as an employee you are not the product, you are part of a team — and the team is just one ingredient in the manufacturing of a product. An important ingredient, but not the whole story nonetheless.

Taking that further: as a human you are also part of the physical community that you live in. A developer in a small town might help out the local library, whereas a developer in a big city might organize tech meet-ups to help their peers.

I'm not saying one situation is better than the other, but I can imagine not just different price points, but also different valuations for equal skill depending on location.
First thing would be to mentally disconnect the supply of people in quarantine from the spread of the virus. Even under lockdown, quarantined people will be supplied and grocery stores open and supplied.

Then, follow the guidelines (washing hands, ....). Avoid big groups, keep a certain distance. Regarding shopping, buy normal volumes of stuff. That always works, the system is used to this. If there are things missing, buy small volumes. Spread shopping over multiple shops of multiple chains. Ideally over multiple days. This keeps peak small, reducing the risk of supply disruption.

And keep away from things medical professionals would need as well.

If push comes to shove, accept shortages of luxury stuff and certain products. But we are very far from that.

All that is a European perspective, so.
The vast majority of money is created by commercial banks. They are, largely, free to do so to whatever degree they deem fit, and the central bank adjusts reserves to match. Almost all money is debt, created by extending loans in this fashion. The textbooks are for the most part wrong. The money multiplier / fractional reserve banking / etc. information is completely wrong.

The person you're replying to didn't say "replace every node," they said "replace the whole thing."

To give a really silly example, adding a node to a cluster is a configuration change. It wouldn't make sense to destroy the cluster and recreate it to add a new node. There are lots of examples like this where if you took the idea of immutable infrastructure to the extreme it would result in really large wastes of effort.

The basic issue is that in Amsterdam most trips are only a mile or two, whereas in NYC it's often a 10 or 15 mile commute between home and work. But yeah if you're only going a couple miles on mostly flat terrain then no question a commuter bike is a better choice.

Allowing prices to directly track available inventory seems like an excellent approach. The problem will self-correct very quickly as 4-packs of toilet paper begin to exceed $20. As inventory is replenished, prices could begin to drop again.

Yes - this sucks for someone who really wanted toilet paper that day, but at the same time it ensures more conscientious spending where absolutely required. I usually don't check prices when I shop for groceries, but if TP was $20 per roll id probably actively decide to not buy any that day. Having this kind of damping from a price-demand perspective could really help to stabilize the availability of goods in retail environments. I can understand how customers might not like this, but if situations are dire, I think we should consider at least being able to throw some sort of switch to enable this mode of operation during emergencies.
Why taking away lands from the nature or the food production to produce ethanol so people can enjoy ICE engine sounds ? Just use the fake engine sounds on the speakers (yes it's a thing).
Mostly because I didn't know of it. But also if you want to log caught exceptions as debug, because you were expecting the exception. E.g., a StopIteration exception you for some reason might want information about, or you have an object you need to check if it has a certain key, but for some reason doesn't have a get-method.

I'm sure there are also good reasons :)
Automate Boring Stuff with Python – Search Assistant
I highly doubt toilet paper manufacturers will add production capacity. In the long term, toilet paper consumption must be absurdly stable. If people are buying extra toilet paper today, they'll buy less toilet paper in the future (unless they start having toilet paper bonfires or something).
then they just return their inventory for a full refund.
I don't think it sounds like "fire the tellers". It's more about analyzing the necessity of them being required to report to work. For instance, a bank could just keep paying them without requiring them to work (Like Patagonia is doing for their operating staff...).

Once the higher level employees are staying home for their own safety, it's pretty chickenshit if the reasons the lower level employees are required to come in are things like profit and their lack of leverage, and not things like "they need to be there for the bank to operate at all".
The UK has really just decided to let the virus progress doing the minimum at the moment. I want Spain to ban flights from the UK asap.
Ansible Ansible Ansible for me!

I’ve tried Puppet and SaltStack, and I constantly find they are harder and more complex than Ansible. I can get something going in Ansible in short order.

Ansible really is my hammer.
If you produce ethanol from locally sourced biomass using renewable power, you’ll get as close as you can. The figure 60% CO2 emission reduction (compared to gasoline) is often floated.

Completely carbon neutral is difficult for any product of course. E85 is 15-24% gasoline too, which is neither renewable or carbon neutral.

I still don’t think its a very good idea (cars are thirsty, infrastructure expensive, worse than both biogas and EV’s for climate etc).
Ten Books Every Data Professional Should Read in 2020
As someone that used to be an avid cyclist. Disc brakes are almost completely pointless for commuter bicycles.

But I wouldn't buy a carbon road bike either (All my bikes are steel framed).
In that case it's a GUI problem, I could not figure out how to do any of that. I only want to use the GPU = preferably zero CPU cores.

Hi @maemilius I appreciate your feedback regarding the Keeper UI on Linux, 2FA etc. I’m the CTO of Keeper and I’m a Linux Ubuntu user myself. I would really appreciate if you could email me directly and we can troubleshoot the issues you are experiencing.

The "homogeneity"/"diversity" argument for why things that work elsewhere won't work in the US is often just racist dogwhistling. The Nordic countries are not actually as homogeneous as Americans seem to think, and the US isn't as diverse as they seem to think, either (hint: diversity != skin colour). See for example the lists here:

It's pretty easy to not touch your face when your hands are physically on the handlebars. As long as you are able to wash your hands immediately after getting off the bike, I think you are reasonably safe.

I'll second the recommendation for Kaldi. It's more complicated to get running vs pocketsphinx, but in my experience Kaldi has better accuracy/lower latency in general cases vs pocketsphinx (assuming caveats below).

https://github.com/gooofy/zamia-speech/ has been training good [acoustic] models which are worth looking at (including training with robustness against noise). They've also got lots of code and docker images and documentation.

pocketsphinx isn't actually that bad to use with their latest acoustic models and small vocabularies (so its utility depends on your exact use case). But it's not generally good with far field mics/dsp processed audio, not really good with noise, and in my experiments quite not as fast as Kaldi.

Better/larger language models in my experience make a world of difference (esp in the general vocab case) for improving accuracy for either of kaldi or pocketsphinx. Nobody really seems to talk about this(?), since everyone always uses the news corpus from like the 80s as the default language model.

I haven't really ever gotten the various ~deepspeech systems working, so I can't speak to them.
SUVs are probably the safest option. You get your nice isolation and you also get a nice crash cage! I wonder why it's so hard to prove to motorcyclists that this is the most efficient option!?

...Because they don't care about that crap. They are way ahead of your efficiency, often even ahead of the efficiency of a bus. A bike can get 70mpg without very much trouble and some more than 100mpg, and they don't cause traffic congestion in the first place because they occupy little additional space beyond the rider.

Gee, Maybe they're on to something, eh?

after all you'd be breathing in their exhaled air, or would the speed and wind dillute the aerosol quickly enough to make it harmless?

It's a philosophical question. Is the rarity actually a good excuse?

I'd say no. We should not burn carbon without serious need, as rarity or not. This particular case is more complicated though - they are developing technology which may be a net saver in CO2 emissions in which case it sorta pays for itself.
Nothing yet. My high school aged kid has some virtual assignments but it seems like he's just ignoring them and treating this as a vacation. We've been letting him do school on his own but it seems like it's not going to work out now.
It’s also a high rpm motor, which will still require lower tolerances and better materials. I don’t recall but don’t higher rpms have a lower rate of wear than higher compression?
There are already some reports of re-infection. It may be that immunity isn't so easy to build for this virus. Not enough is known about it yet. This is a huge gamble.
Thinking about pushing this further, but would love some feedback.

Sure if it were as easy as that. In normal circumstances, it wouldn't be easy, nor as quick as demand shifts. In a time when supply chains are disrupted and we're all WFH to slow a pandemic, expecting another industry to drastically increase production seems like a false hope at best and an immoral one at worst.
