That's pretty much it. They give you a server you can do whatever you want with.

The 'droplets' are billed by the hour so you could try it for a few pennies. I don't think you even need to spend any of your own money. I've seen referrals that give you credit for signing up.

> Would you recommend them?

I would. The only thing you should watch out for is not going over your bandwidth limit, which only applies to outbound traffic.

VisualGDB uses a tool-created makefile for cross-compiling and building. Not a lot of room for me to innovate. I suppose the .o trick could work. But it still requires careful hand-scripted builds. I already have that - I run a script to read a binary file and emit .c declaration, which I pipe to a C file and include in the project.

I suppose it lets me drop support of the script, which is something.

Well, someone still have to manage hardware nodes!
So I use cf-engine to install smatrd, manage ssh keys, to install packages an so on.
Also configuration management for the servers where state lives, like your git repos, db, documentation, internal knowledge systems. To ensure backup software is installed and running.
I prefer cf-engine due to the fact it's compiled package, not dependent on any scripting language.

Having experienced the decisions of our fearlful german woman leader, it's clear that she didn't act by reason, only by fear. Why did no politican look at the numbers by themselves, and rather trust "interesting" advisers? Esp. when knowingly throwing the world into a global crisis, which could be worse than in the 20ies. Which brought us WW2. The numbers clearly tell that the death threat is no death threat, that flattening the curve will cause at least two times more dead than letting it running its spike for 4 weeks. Hundreds of thousands of dead? Give me a break. A flu season has 550.000, how much have we got now for COVID-19? The normal flu still caused many more dead than COVID-19.

Every medium flu season is more deadly than this one. By far. Keeping people locked in at home and keeping the schools closed will only help to keep the virus alive which should be already dead by now, if people would go out into the sun. There is no chance for a vaccine, there is no chance to keep the spread under control with lockdowns with an R0 of over 5. There is no danger with an IFR of 0.3 - 0.6% (0.4% looking the most reliable number for now). Italy always has an IFR of 1% for every such flu outbreak. But they went bonkers when they saw the military vans on TV. Well done.

The women leaders I see were all hysterical.
While the men around her (the neighboring countries) did respond in a more rational and less hysterical fashion.

4 weeks lockdown ok, why not. Does not do much harm. But the whole summer? Closing all summer events? Pure insanity. That way they will never get it under control and reach herd immunity before fall. They already found out about their massive mistake, now they are only doing damage control by controlling the message, censorship, fearing a political turmoil in the next elections.
I assume so. But how many tools do I want to include in my client's build dependencies?

While I would tend to agree, it's now already pretty much phone/touch ready, so it might as well make use of it. I feel like Gnome's UI is finally getting some consistency after having a lot of random changes from version to version in the past years.

I don't really use many of the Gnome apps as I'm mainly in the browser or terminal, but various things like the video player, image viewer, document viewer, recorder, webcam app, process monitor, all seem to have converged to being very narrow focused and simplified. I usually like the simplicity, and if I need more I turn to specialized software.
Agreed. I was disappointed that they instead decided on a failed attempt to capitalize on a cryptocurrency via airdrops (ironically they attempted this a couple years after the hype)

try this: onde you have the entire code ready, working properly, go to the end of the file and "backspace" your entire file clean.
Now, from the top of the empty file, repeat "Ctrl-Z" until you have your code restored.

of course, it will not work with too large files... you will be limited to the number of undos of your editor.

Btw, does anyone know how to buy boxed (PIB/WOF) AMD Rome EPYCs at reasonable (not full MSRP) market prices rather than OEM/tray (non-WOF) ones?

there is a problem with alaska if you want to try making money by supplying broadband, and that is the consumer demographic.

either you must limit to government and institutional consumption or you must supplement the retail level home users of alaska so that they have hardware; have hardware that is capable of consuming broadband; and have the need and purpose for it.

this is why it fails at the home consumer level.

Hebrew is the only successfully revived language that I know of, and it was revived under circumstances that are really pretty unique.

Irish has had "national language" status for 100 years, during which time it has continued to decline. Strong government support for the language - making it a requirement for government jobs, teaching it to schoolchildren, defining regions of the country where Irish should be the primary everyday language - weren't enough to prevent the continued decline of the language.

I think the problem with the sort of language policy that Ireland pursued is that language is a practical tool for most people. A lot of people liked the idea of Irish coming back (especially back when speaking Irish was a political statement against English colonialism), but in everyday life in Ireland, English is vastly more useful. The last monolingual Irish speaker died in 1998.[1] You will never encounter anyone who only knows how to speak Irish. Back when there were monolingual Irish speakers, they lived in some of the poorest areas of Ireland and hoped that their children would learn English, so that they would have better opportunities.

In some ways, the language policy backfired. Some people actually viewed it as oppressive, because they didn't see the point of learning a language that was of no practical use to them in everyday life, and they weren't able to get certain jobs unless they spoke that language.

There's a funny TV series that explores how useful the Irish language is in everyday life, which aired on Ireland's Irish-language station.[2] The host tries to go through his life using only Irish. Most of the Irish people he encounters have the proficiency of your average adult who took a foreign language many years ago in school and never used it again. A few people can speak it well. Many more are confused. But it's sobering to watch it and think about what it would actually take to revive Irish as the primary language of communication in Ireland, or why you would want to do so.

With Irish, there's also the peculiarity that it's not really the language of Irish culture. Ireland is world-famous for its English-language literature.

Really? We are going to "understand that implementations are not monsters" after what they've done with "undefined"? I think maybe these standards should be written from the perspective that implementations are sociopathic demons summoned against their will.

(But I really want this feature. I regularly use xxd and some Makefile rules to embed assets in my executables. For instance, in a web service I might have all my default configuration and templates in the executable with command line options to send them to standard output and override them from external files. Then on the chance someone needs to make a change they can just make their own file and use it.)

Strings make it easy to define as configs and can be implemented uniformly across different languages. In world of microservices, a Python and a Go service can easily share the schema definitions via some config files. Also strings provided the best minimalist syntax.

Problem with that approach is that 1 second on his connection is not necessarily equal to 1s on mine or your connection. So we'd need to see the expected traffic and then discuss "the average time" that makes sense, the speed for the target group.
Do core workouts. While doing the work-out, really concentrate on keeping your core stable and your breathing in sync with your motions. Learning how to brace your core unconsciously will help more with your posture than anything else.

All those ergonomic solutions force you to position yourself well, but they won’t work unless you have the strength to hold it.

It is quite possible the virus is not nearly as dangerous and lethal as people fear. If the young have nothing to worry about the prospects are pretty good.

The best way to reach herd immunity is to have lots of immune people around you.
That seems very strange. How did they 'recover' if they have no antibodies? Did the virus give up on its own?

A reinfection rate of 30% seems bad. How does that translate to an R0 I wonder.
Certainly - the companies (mostly in China) that manufacture containers will do one-offs. They can be specified with less toxic epoxies and composite/alternative flooring, and any cutouts or other features you want to end up with. This avenue is expensive though. You don't have the economies of scale in comparison to "standard models" pumped out by the tens of thousands, and you don't have the advantage of shipping the container over full of goods instead of empty. Caveats abound, of course.

If one wants to avoid stripping paint and floors out of secondary market boxes, it's also possible to buy the constituent pieces of a shipping container individually - the corrugated sidewalls, doors + fittings, floor channels, corner castings etc - unfinished or with primer only. In this way, you can ship one or more deconstructed shipping containers INSIDE a shipping container! But then you have to fixture it and weld it etc, so you're back to losing economy of scale...

For our purposes, we usually use 1-trip/low-trip for client projects avoiding the nasty ones by careful selection, and we have a custom machine that media blasts the interior and exterior down to bare metal when we work with older WWT and partial/damaged containers of unknown heritage.

Have you stopped to think about the ethical implications of this?

Could you put a warning to be mindful and only consider the service if you're high-risk or in a situation where curbside is the only safe option?

I love the fact that my high-risk parents are using curbside pickup, but I find myself better fitted to wear a mask and do the groceries myself during off-peak hours. The last thing I think the world wants is (presumably younger) people in tech taking up curbside slots before other people in the community.
Anybody used it for gaming? I was a beta user of the Nvidia service which is dedicated to gaming and while overall acceptable, lag spikes would render the use of the platform really frustrating. Everything would be smooth for 30s and then "lag" or freeze for up to 1-2s and then resume. Fine if playing the sims, but when you are in a fight in fast paced games it's a deal breaker. To my knowledge, so far, no platform has figured out the proper streaming/input lag management to make the experience truly seamless. Is this one different?
Slightly off topic, but with the G14, it was made clear that the RTX 2060 is the 60W max-Q version. Do you know if this Asus TUF RTX 2060 is the full 90W version?

The question was about the sort of little programs someone could write daily, and the answer resembles crosswords or sudoku, which many people are in the habit of completing once a day.

Would completing one integer sequence algorithm (brilliant suggestion btw!) change the world around you? No, of course not.

Would it make you a better programmer, though? Certainly it would. Which would mean, when you settle down, crack your knuckles, and start changing the world, you'd do a better job of it.

Your objection strikes me as that of a hunter who won't go to the range, because when he fires his rifle, he wants to put meat on the table!

As a Canadian (where most people use debit/credit) my first time in Germany as a tourist I once had to leave my passport as collateral at a restaurant to go find an ATM to pay for our meal as I didn't have €80ish in cash. It flummoxed me almost as much as seeing Germans eat a hamburger with a knife and fork! ;-)

When asking around I got several answers. Everything from a cultural aversion to debt (and spending via cash makes it easier to track your spending), not wanting to be tracked where you shop due to not wanting the government to know (comes from Nazi/East German past), and just being culturally conservative and not really liking change all that much.

I didn't like it as being a tourist meant I was eating out a lot, etc. I had to carry a lot of cash around that I'd only have to pay a fee to convert back if I had any left.

Living in Germany and my company is based here. We tried SEPA but it’s a PITA to charge customers with it. Especially B2C which we are. Customers can arbitrarily chargeback even after several days. Not only that, they can ask for a refund, get the refund and then charge back. So we end up paying them! And there’s no way to prevent it. At least that’s the way it was a few years ago when stripe sepa was still beta.

The interesting thing however, we A/B tested with and without SEPA and basically saw no difference. Only German people used it, but when it wasn’t available they managed to find a credit card or use PayPal.

I’d love it if banks were making instant payments simple and verifiable, but SEPA feels like something from the 70s to me.
