Installing Windows in a VM on a brand-new laptop in 8 steps:

* Curse your hardware purchasing choice if you have Broadcom or NVidia, because they add (non-dramatic) steps.

* Make sure, everything Virt-related is enabled in the BIOS/UEFI

* Install normal debian default system

* Install virt-manager, libvirt0, qemu-kvm

* Add your desktop user to system groups kvm and libvirt

* Download Windows Iso and Virtio-Drivers iso

* Create new virtual machine, make sure everything possible is set to "VirtIO", mount both ISOs from above as 2 CDROM drives.

* Install Windows, let it search the VirtIO CD for drivers

* Done, total time less than 2 hours on a machine newer than 2015. (No command line required. Just don't use a linux installer from x years ago, but a recent one, e.g. Debian Buster)
Fair enough. Don't get me wrong I'm very excited about the announcement and think it'll be great to have some of these features in the open source core, I just thought it was a little misleadingly worded in this blog post. Seemed to imply the work had already been done.
Incredibly saddening to read. I wish Lee, Kristin, and their son all the best.
Not the parent poster but how about meat consumption? A number of people think eating meat is evil and it's undeniable that animals are harmed in the process of producing meat for food. Is eating meat an absolute evil (people should universally agree that it's evil) or a relative one (it's permitted for people hold differing opinions on whether it is evil)?
Yes, I will admit that it's not great with a face mask. But then that wasn't really an issue until a few weeks ago. Never had problems with glasses or too much sunlight but that might just be a perk of living in a country that's not particularly sunny.
Yeah, I read more into their assay and I'm inclined to agree with you.
Most "school shootings" which are counted in statistics are actually events like this - incidents of violence which simply happen to occur near an educational institution such as universities.
I have the 300PF and it's fantastic. It's actually smaller and lighter than their 24-70 f/2.8. It fits, attached to my D500, in my smallest camera bag comfortably (a Lowepro Hatchback 16l).
I think it's more geared towards creating VM instances. I'm thinking about other resources as well, such as Lambdas.
I haven't left yet but i do less and less programming work.

The reason is simply that i realized that i was not as good at problem solving as i thought, i also dont find joy in sitting for hours solving problems.

I used to be passionate when it came to programming, but i realized that the reasons i thought it was fun was mostly because i thought i was better at it than i actually where. I was the only kid in the entire school to program and all that.

But after starting a startup and working with other developers i realized that am pretty crappy at it. I also don't get enough joy to try to become better and on one level i can kinda see where my limit will be.

I always been extremely bad at maths and logic solving, i always had problems with sitting down and being focused on doing something like writing, playing video games or coding. I never will be able to solve problems fast enough to be a productive programmer.

It just is not for me, and its just a burden now when i have to do some coding.

Also other people in tech are just annoying, people who only brag about how smart they are. CEOs who are bullies and try to mimic steve jobs. Managers and other people seen tech as a burden for the company etc etc.
Yeah, dashboard still appears to be completely down.
You seem to be referring to the Pacific Railroad Act. But that created the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific, not the Illinois Central.

Now, the Illinois Central was a land grant railroad, but it received the land grants in 1850, under President Fillmore, not under Lincoln.
The code I wrote in my first job out of college is still running in thousands of locations 25 years later. But then, it was Windows software for a particular industry, not a website. Most stuff I've written since then has been replaced or will be soon.
Since you use evil.. does term-char-mode work? Can you send C-x or C-z to the application? (without a workaround like (term-send-raw-string "^X"))
I agree with you that Americans don't know how to use lanes, but I want to push back on the cruise control comment. Many cars have cruise control set differently, and "keep the speedometer at exactly X" is not the algorithm generally in play. I was once part of a caravan with a sedan, pickup truck, and 15 passenger van where we all yelled at each other for not using cruise control until we realized that we all were using cruise control the whole time, but needed to adjust it to not interfere with each other on hilly roads.

If you want the best highway fuel efficiency, programming a cruise control to slow down uphill and go a bit faster downhill is the right way to go. How much faster or slower depends on the engine and current weight of the automobile, which is why the three examples were so wildly different.

> Leaving a pair of headphones plugged into whatever they "go with", and then putting in your ears the headphones of whatever device you're interacting with?

So my MacBook Air for instance (the 11 inch model, small enough to comfortably carry under my arm and use on the subway) doesn't really have a place to store headphones. And permanently wrapping headphones around my phone would get annoying quickly.

Again, these are nitpicks and there are ways I could adapt. But it would be inconvenient. I have a headphone jack, and it works.

> Have you checked Amazon lately?

I have not. The main problem really is switching between devices. And to a lesser extent, the Nintendo Switch's lack of Bluetooth audio support.
Cheaper then Raspberry Pi? With $15 for Zero variant? How much cheaper then that you can do really?

I'd say RPI it's the best in that regard. Also fully fledged Linux there, not some pet project OS.
They should fall to about $40k according to this analyst.

https://youtu.be/N7sjJ4jOhGM
Yep, exactly. $400 is not unreasonable for the most important communication device, which should be amortized over 2-3 years (and explained to the kid)
I wouldn't buy it at this price right now unless you had bought a iPhone 6S or 5S (They are actually the same, except for the screen size) in the last 2 years.

The removal of the headphone jack was something seen as treasonous for Apple to do at first, but then they will then tell you to purchase wireless earphones instead. Making it impossible to listen to music without being discovered via bluetooth trackers / scanners.

If those aren't problems for you, then it seems to be a reasonable buy for other customers who bought older phones. But if it were me, I would buy one in a year and a half when the price eventually drops further.

The first SE was $399 as well, and that was years ago.
Yes. Yes, I did. At least with Arch I could keep on working because only one of BT / printer / scanner broke on update, most of the production bits kept working. When I ran Ubuntu the system shattered every six months so badly I couldn't work for 2-3 days.
About to start med school, I looked around in the tech industry and never found a role model and found that distressing. I never met a single person in 10 years in the industry and said "I aspire to problem-solve like him/her" or "this is the career trajectory I want to take". I also never wanted to be in tech, was a premed in college, but after taking 1 CS class before the twitter IPO and getting internships at a string of popular companies I somehow became locked into the CS degree.
Then the entire planet has bigger problems
It's very clear at this point that many of the deaths that are being reported as Covid deaths are actually in fact not. Also, the projections are so insanely off that these "scientists" should be held accountable for propagating lies and murdering the economy.

I'm curious to learn what other "science" is demonstrably false.

> Surely the sensible option would be for Atlassian to allow you to keep all your personal boards and only show the work-email boards if you sign in, or allow you to 'disconnect' from those?

To me the sensible option is to have separate accounts for work and personal, and to never mix them. That way you're never even tempted to make the mistake of attaching an email you don't control--your work email--to an account that has your own stuff in it that you need to have sole control over.

Comments like this always make me really glad that I've never tried "good" audio equipment. I think music sounds great with my Sony XM3s and even my AirPods, and I don't have to travel with a DAC to experience it. shrug
Are you grandfathered into the 10,000 free Action minutes for paid Teams? 10k -> 3k drop is pretty substantial.
School shootings refer to mass killings or attempted killings directed at fellow students and staff, usually indiscriminately.

Adding “normal” homicides, suicides, gang violence and accidents that could happen anywhere, and that happen due to ancient, well understood motivations, would be too noisy and create the need for a new statistic and term that exclude them.
Headphones aren't the only devices that use headphone jacks. They can also be plugged in directly to non-portable speakers. And you can use them for high (enough) quality recording.

Plus, it's still much easier to plug in the cable than go through the pairing dance.

> That, and the Nintendo Switch's lack of Bluetooth audio support.

IIRC, they make a slimline adapter that you can stick to your Switch that gives it Bluetooth support. If you've got it jailbroken, you can also just enable it in software.
My answer was intentionally contradictory. I am just providing the data points I know of. If your concern is their ability to garnish money, then giving them information isn't really an issue. If your concern is them getting hacked or otherwise leaking your data, then you may wish to take a conservative approach.
I mean, yes, there's a "narrative" being "pushed" that kids getting shot dead is bad and unnecessary, and more or less unique to the US and active warzones, so perhaps (like the pandemic) you should do something about it rather than just count the bodies? Or in the case of Alex Jones, libel the parents of the victims?
> How would this affect our work?

This reminds me of the appetites and bets that Basecamp's "Shape Up" describes. https://basecamp.com/shapeup

Instead of keeping scope and time 'fixed' and sacrificing quality, instead try and keep quality and time 'fixed' but be willing to sacrifice scope.

Having an 'apetite' in mind for how much you want a particular feature then mitigates: if you fail to achieve what you want in the fixed time period, do you want to try again later or is it more effort than it's worth to you.
Yeah there's this dilemma. Emcas, out of the box, seems stable enough (and performs well enough?). But for many of us, the features it offers ootb are nowhere near enough. So you start installing packages and it quickly turns into a clusterfuck and you have bizarre little bugs and interactions everywhere. And it still doesn't work exactly the way you want, even if the bugs were not present.. so you have to spend a huge amount of time trying to figure the clusterfuck out so that you can start working on it and make it right. And figure out why it got slow. Or sigh and give up.

It isn't helped by the fact that some devs insist on using bleeding edge melpa packages and their stable versions are broken. Other devs' bleeding edge versions are prone to break..

Emacs, with its packages, is one of the most chaotic things I've seen. I don't know if there's any hope for me to tame it in a reasonable timeframe.
Faster lenses are more flexible, whether or not that flexibility is worth the added cost and weight depends on your intended use case. A lot of photography gets done stopped down to f/8 or so, after all.

> If you can attach multiple email accounts to a service then of course you would attach your work email to it.

Why? To me this is an obvious mistake. If you need to have sole control over your access to your account, then you should never attach an email to it that you don't control. You don't control your work email.
Is there a source for that? Can't find it anywhere.
Sounds like some liberal-fascism fuckery right there.
A .NET Framework to DotNet Core Conversion Report
Opening raw sockets in Linux is a fun way to bang out your own IP, ARP, and ICMP packets for experimenting. I remember the joys of packet spoofing/flooding in college. I think with WiFi you're limited to the AP you're attached to?

It'd be a fun hack to read and inject raw wifi or LTE frames to get a count of radios within range, when they transmit and other details of the low level protocols. It looks like with SDR, folks are able to get better access to the physical layer.

Bolinas CA, testing entire town for Covid-19
I don't think it's subconscious. It shows up obviously in bezel thickness and radius of corners. When they release a new product the bezel is thick and the corners are very round. As they are able to reduce the bezel size, they also reduce the rounding of the corners. This has the effect of making the last generation look toy-like and the new generation look more serious. They have used this pattern for like 20 years across many product lines.

What about 3 years from now? It doesn't make sense to stick with the 6s for much longer, and I'm speaking as a current 6s user.
My intent, like the sister post claims, is to help the folks who are in the most dire straits, with the least access to food or money.

If we arrange the rules of human behavior, such that there is an incentive to create a surplus of food and money, then the poor will be much better off.

Those who have tried to simply make a law that says "no one is allowed to die of huger" have created monstrous regimes which led to the starvation of millions.

And people don't understand why I fell into a two week existential crisis after I saw 'The Notebook'

> many of the neurologists who study it believe it is underdiagnosed

This is a tragedy. Of course it's underdiagnosed. Everyone around you would just think you're an asshole. In the article, it sounds like so many people fought right and were patient and loving. How many cases do we never hear about, get fought abusively, and push the last shattered remnants of a person into drugs, suicide, etc.
New quantum computers can operate at higher temperatures
I intend to write at least a small version of this.
There are a couple of existing “Emacs-in-Racket” projects which I may borrow code or ideas from.
The older one is https://github.com/tonyg/rmacs, which runs but is not in a state where it's really usable for anything, and there is a newer https://github.com/soegaard/remacs which I have never gotten to run on a Linux system.

Essentially my plan is to make an Emacs-like editor with a line-editor interface for my embedded-in-Racket shell, Rash (https://rash-lang.org).
Of course, I will also make a TUI interface, like terminal Emacs, and while I probably won't write it myself, I would leave it open to have a GUI interface as well, and generally be embeddable in arbitrary Racket programs that need an editor component.
While I don't have the time or will to really make something that could compete with Emacs as a general-purpose editor, or seriously try to implement a `#lang elisp` to give Emacs compatability, I think building an Emacs-like editor in Racket with an actual function that people will use (better line editing for Racket, Rash, other Racket languages) could give people enough reason to hack on it themselves that it could grow and be useful at least as a line editor.

Additionally, I have some ideas on plugin sandboxing I would like to try out.
In other words, while I would obviously just have an interpreter with which you could run arbitrary code to modify the editor, like Emacs but with Racket code in any #lang, I also may add an API using Racket's sandboxing features so that you can run extensions with limited, explicit privileges.
I want to be able to run extension code written by internet randos without auditing it, but trust that it won't steal my ssh keys and such.

That said, I'm trying to finish my PhD and I haven't even done any direct work on Rash itself for a while.
My advisor says “your editor should be your first side project after graduating”, and I agree with him.
So my Emacs-in-Racket may yet be eternal vaporware, and even if it isn't, advanced features that I want might not make the cut when I actually determine how much time I can commit to it.
We'll see.

At any rate, even if other people do it first and better, I'm likely to make a small version of this some day just because I want to -- I've already written my own terminal emulator in Racket (which works but is slow, and I don't recommend anybody use it), and my own shell in Racket (which is awesome, and I do recommend people use it, at least for scripting, and eventually I will develop it further [contributors welcome!]), so naturally I need to make my own editor as well.
I think the best way to do something like that is date it when it was published, and add something like “in my trip to Norway in 2019,”
I read somewhere (can't find the source now) that the reason for this was that the Apple processor gave them an advantage in being able to have that small a form factor and still have good (actually great) battery life. Without the energy efficient processor, a larger battery was required which led to larger phones.
at the other extreme, everybody does whatever the day requires and JIRA is just an annoying after thought that for some reason (the agile coach tells us to?) we have to keep up to date and yet is always outdated.
Back to Basics: How to DevRel Without Travel
Several answers:

1. Yes, in a way. Articles about Amazon warehouses regularly describe that people can work there only for a while before either burning out our simply trying to find something better. High fluctuation was a common theme.

2. Despite the issues Amazon has with unnecessary cruelty, quotes suggest that there is a higher and a steady pay, compared to shadier alternatives. Working there during the holiday season to make more than with alternatives was a regular motive in articles.

3. In anarcho capitalist countries like the US people risk dying or falling into utter poverty when not accepting work conditions like this. Not everyone can fall back into a programmer job (and now even less so), and most can't be sure that an alternative will turn up if they stop working and start searching. That bad jobs get taken does not show that they are acceptable in a system providing a basic standard. Same is true for countries like Germany, where not accepting bad jobs can mean not getting state support anymore (and yes, people died because of being sanctioned like that and then starving, that's not hyperbole).
Yes, just so. Some days ago I posted an NPR Planet Money article about the effect of COVID-19 on farm workers, who are mostly immigrants, and the replies to my comment was so cavalier I could not engage. "The food will be fine", no thought to the harvesters who would likely fall ill. There is a swatch of disposable workers unseen by people like these. Our local grocery was out of chicken parts for a while but now it's mostly back to normal. I'm surprised there's a run on toilet paper, yeast, and flour, but meat and produce are back on the shelves.
Have you seen Windows 10 IOT booting in less then 5 seconds on a $50 Raspberry Pi? Because I do.
For how long -- Apple switched from IBM to Intel due to performance reasons. Their mobile chips use ARM. Perhaps only time before Apple offer MacBooks with AMD chips.
I think it quite odd that no one wants to jump on this as a "market failure" that needs to be fixed with a government program or monopoly.
> The first simply had another passion - travel.

I thought engineering enabled travel. I met countless "digital nomads" traveling the world, doing 20 hours of work a week at cafes. Making bank and getting to travel all they want.

Perhaps this is too philosophical, but for anyone who has dealt with someone with a long decline into dementia, it's very difficult for me to understand a belief in God after going through that (I certainly understand some people have the exact opposite reaction, so I'm in no way saying this belief is correct).

It's just difficult for me to envision a crueler God if that is indeed the case. A person who has died long before their body gives way, only to be a constant burden, with virtually no joy, and a constant reminder that your loved one is dead, yet still here.

In the worst cases I say unreservedly that it is a huge relief when the person's body finally joins their mind in death.
There's no way the iPhone SE or the Samsung A40 can be considered compact. They're still huge.

As someone frequently getting pinky finger injuries from holding my phone, I feel you.

Popsockets are a solution, but an annoying one that changes the form factor my phone and doubles as a potent trigger for fidgeting.
Thank you for this, I put in an order with lindley like a week and a half ago and they’re swamped. Hoping it pans out but will definitely hedge with one of these others if things go south.

> A Samsung A40 for example is barely larger than this new iPhone SE, but has a 5.9 inch display

A major pro of having a smaller phone is being able to reach anywhere on the _screen_ with just a thumb. While A40 and SE may have the same physical form factor, the former does not achieve this.
