Ubuntu has been regressing on the server side for a while. 1804 introduced netplan, a proprietary wrapper around systemd-networking. Going back to /etc/network/interfaces is an uphill struggle, but it is required for some functions.

This time they've removed debian-installer, so it's no longer a matter of a new kernel/initrd/preseed file. On top of that, the automation has only appeared in the last few days.

I run basic software like a browser, command-line tools, editors, a few IDEs - it's all completely cross-platform stuff - and I think it's worth getting a Mac for that. I don't know any better hardware for personal computing. What do you use that's better designed, integrated and constructed?

There's no reason to think it won't help - the encoder/decoder code base could be written in WASM directly to ensure it uses the SIMD instructions, and those will hopefully map closely to the machine SIMD instructions.

Of course though, you're right that it'll still incur a performance penalty.
ARM-based Macs are going to be a pain if they're as locked down as I suspect they might be. But damn are they likely to be fast if the rumours in that article are true. 8 high-performance cores on a next-get chip when Apple's A-series chips are already beating intel chips in single-core performance.

I suspect ARM compatibility will be a problem for ~6 until major software houses get themselves sorted out. Most open source software already has ARM support anyway. And of course it's possible that Apple will actually include some level of hardware support for x86 emulation.
>Future generations pay this back not through taxes but through inflation.

I don't think that's a fair characterization. Inflation helps people with student loans (salary grows but debt stays the same) and hurts people with retirement accounts full of bonds. Broadly speaking, inflation helps the young (by closing the wealth gap between haves and have-nots).

Yup. And if you have a knee problem, back problem, etc. you will get chaptered out for medical reasons, so why waste time and money if that's the eventual outcome? Does the military want to pay for the healthcare of someone who went to basic training with a bad knee and made it worse due to being in the military? No! That isn't their purpose and we should never expect otherwise.

Sometimes I think people are just looking for a boogeyman.

On these kinds of discussions, claims about the need to shower at work after cycling usually come from Americans (especially in their southern regions), so it is rather surprising to hear it from a Finn. I feel like Finns pay more attention to appropriate clothing for the season and activity, so they would choose something to cycle in that is breathable and won’t leave them soaked in sweat, and they would be willing to invest in e.g. a merino-wool base layer – merino wool doesn’t stink even if one’s sweats in it.

Granted, I am chiefly getting this impression from what was sold in the sports sections of clothing shops in downtown Helsinki when I was a student there, and perhaps most of the native Finnish population finds that clothing just as unaffordable as I did as a poor foreigner.

The government version of "lawful operations" is them just getting some flimsy warrant rubber stamped by a judge who has absolutely no clue (or care) about how technology works.

The great thing about technology is that it doesn't have to put up with things like useless warrants. Using encryption is the equivalent to have a reinforced door protecting you from people who want to do harm to you that ignores all warrants and cannot be broken or talked down. Thank god for encryption that works, it literally saves lives from the current crops of tyrannical governments worldwide.

That was basically what I was trying to say, yes. I wasn't saying a court would conduct its own investigation; obviously they assume the applicants are telling the truth and wouldn't commit perjury. But it absolutely is within the court's remit to consider the documents filed and decide whether the evidence presented therein amounts to enough of a case to issue a warrant. It's something conspicuously absent from the IPA, which puts this responsibility on ministers.

> move_uploaded_file() confirms that the filename was indeed created as a result of an upload, and additionally removes that entry from the hash table.

In other words, move_uploaded_file() protects against moving a non-uploaded file or moving one more than once.

So it's for an upload processing code that, at some point, is becoming unsure of what the heck it is doing.

It is a band-aid.
You should also be aware that the way Sweden is counting deaths by CoViD-19 is by attributing ALL deaths which tested positive for the virus to the disease.

This is very different from other countries statistics and one of the reasons why Sweden statistics are showing that there is very little undercounting of unexplained excess deaths when seasonally adjusted.
I'm coming from Sqlectron too - i used it for my database classes with my students. The main reason i created db-sql was that schools and universities block almost all ports, so my database could not be reached. This is solved by db-sql. And yeah, the results are displayed on demand :)

Good news about security - your db credentials are stored encrypted and they can only be decrypted when you provide the encryption key, which is available client-side only (it is created on login).

Suggestions to further improve security are warmly welcome. A good starting point to get in touch with the code would be https://github.com/lebalz/db-sql/blob/master/app/models/db_s...

In China, it was suppressed to somewhere around 0.3. They went from nearly 4000 new confirmed cases per day in early February to about 100 new confirmed cases per day (at a much higher rate of testing) a month later. New cases are low enough now that contact tracing appears to be holding the epidemic in check.

Once you reach a low overall case count, you can ease measures to target R ~ 1.

The alternative, letting the epidemic burn through the population, means sacrificing ~0.5% of the population.

Given the steady pace of ~30k new confirmed cases per day in the US, R has not been suppressed enough. Yet governors are talking about easing restrictions...

> How about program preferences and configs that get saved elsewhere by default?

Nothing goes (should go) elsewhere by default.

If you're wiping the distro and re-installing - you probably don't want to keep /etc anyway.

Fwiw Ubuntu in place lts to lts release upgrade should be solid. But sometimes you want start with new, contemporary defaults, or a different disk layout.

BTW with zfs, you can have a separate home (or home/your_user) filesystem, and not worry about allocating fixed space (thus running out of free space on /, but with more available in /home and vice-versa).

Sweden's death counts are the most statistical precise ones so far, exactly because every death from someone tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 is counted as a death from CoViD-19. No other country is doing this, you can check that by following metrics such as "excess deaths" after seasonally adjusting deaths by country and adding their official death tolls [0].

Well - first you have absurdly expansive universities required to be a doctor.

They can be absurdly expansive because there is an expectation that students will indebt themselves with this one kind of debt you can't default on. So doctors have to earn more to be able to pay it back.

Then you have lawsuits where cost of lawsuit is paid by both sides, no matter who is at fault. So if it takes 2 years and costs 100 000 USD to determine you weren't at fault - you are still going to default (except yo ucan't default on your student's debt). So doctors are expected to be insured against lawsuits. Which is expansive. So they have to earn more.

Then there is a system where one drug company has 100 insurance provider customers who have to buy that drug. Who has more power in that relationship :) ? So you pay absurdly high prices.

How large are these OOP maximums and deductibles on average? I’ve always kept an emergency fund that’s well in excess of my OOP max. Is this unusual?

Hi HN!

Most of us want to do more in the battle against climate change - it’s tough when your work life is unrelated. Right now, if you want to find a job that helps the planet, there’s no clear way to go about that. You could look for environmentally focused companies individually and keep checking their site to see if they are hiring. But that’s tedious and it’s easy to miss new postings. Conventional job boards don’t have a good way of filtering for this. A couple of environmental jobs boards exist, but they have low post volume and are dispersed geographically.

https://enviro.work is the place to come find green jobs in one spot. Think of it like a search engine for all Earth-friendly jobs out there. We aggregate eco-positive jobs from different sources and link you back to the source.

We wanted to help empower purposeful individuals to maximize their potential for the planet. Enviro.Work is linked with the community at https://collective.energy, where you can find inspiration, feedback, and an audience for your eco projects. Turn climate ideas into plans into reality - then build your team with Enviro.Work.

I'd love to know what you think and hear your helpful feedback.

Thanks for caring!
