Fun hypothesis: a giant Florida Goodwill moved into an old Bealls in 2019. Bealls may have run a cost-benefit analysis and said "you know what, it's actually cheaper for us to sell all this old merch to Goodwill at a discount than for us to move it to the new store."

I really do think this is a cynical ploy to induce universities to open up more aggressively than they would like. That is the only reasoning I can come up with.
I really liked the idea or RancherOS, but somehow it never quite lived up to its promise. In particular, the need to distinguish between root and non-root containers was surprisingly confusing in practice. It effectively broke the promise of “just worry about docker”.

Has anyone here adopted it over the long term? What made it stick?

Any ideas why SUSE would need/want this?
This article is very much not clickbait.
I'm very glad that SUSE bought it and not Red Hat (or Microsoft).

This might give SUSE more inroads to the North American market, considering it's largely a European player at this point.
the core is https://github.com/webview/webview with its rust binding, electron binds chromium and nodejs, I don't really know how webview works, a thin cross-platform API wrapper layer on top of native browser engine for each OS, so that you leverage the pre-installed browser in the OS and use it kind of like a shared library to minimize the app size?

electron always bundles the whole chromium into its binary, what is exactly "webview" comparing to chromium inside electron app?

Just before the lockdown I threw away some hing that had been on my spice rack for a long time. Way longer than one should keep spices. So I went to the local spice shop to stock up on some items, including a fresh jar of asefetida. I had forgotten how pungent it is when fresh. Now when I open the cabinet it hits me.

Psychosocial interventions versus antipsychotics for early-onset psychosis
You might have indicated you were talking about a hedge fund with non public listings and no transparency. If investing was as easy as picking whatever did well in the past then we'd all be billionaires.
You can only influence these things so far. The company ultimately needs to make money and sometimes the money is coming from people that want drone-guiding or surveillance technology and so if your suggestions are leading too far away from that, you'll be fired.
I feel like there's a kinda silly trend towards the idea that regulation should never be burdensome, that something's wrong if compliance efforts are more onerous than annual training and automated enforcement. It comes from a good place - we do need to be cautious of regulatory capture through creating so many burdens that small companies can't afford to comply. But the loudest complaints always seem to be along the lines of "it's unfair that it's harder to do these things GDPR is trying to discourage".
What do you mean? Rancher has raised only $100 million in funding from what I can tell.

Trump official: Unclear if RNC can be safely held in Florida
There's a vast difference between a) someone stating something in a fairly colloquial way, particularly something they thought was widely known, then having to progressively clarify the specific thing they meant when challenged by someone who didn't have the same facts, and b) someone deliberately moving goalposts.

This is pretty obviously an instance of (a), and aggressively painting it as (b) does, indeed, feel like arguing in bad faith.
Git has pretty much killed that practice ("merged PR xxxx" is all you get).
While CLI users are reading article after article to discover hidden features of their tools, I'm using a GUI that makes those features obvious and streamlines actions to make my work go faster than any CLI user could possibly achieve outside of automating their workflow entirely.

And I do everything with the keyboard.

I do this on Linux, Mac and Windows with VS Code. Before I used VS Code, on Windows I'd use TortoiseGit - again, all with the keyboard. I can operate the entirety of Windows with just a keyboard and most of XFCE on Linux.

To be fair, entering multiple lines of text into the VS Code Git commit sidebar is somewhat "hidden" as well, but using Shift+Enter to get a newline is fairly common and easy to try and guess.
More than once have I gotten a result at work like "88,888 cases" and then spent days making sure it wasn't a horrible bug.
I think there's a lot of carelessness/ignorance with small companies as it pertains to info sec. They simply don't have the budget to contract out the security work, create effective policies (experts in-house or consulting), enforce those polices, etc.

I think most bigger companies have a lot of protocols and contract professionals to remove and remediate old documents or equipment. They are also more likely to have physical security preventing access to the dumpsters.
Nothing formal, but if the service itself does go down (i.e. your VPS drops and can't be restarted due to a service problem, or connectivity fails, etc.) refunds / service credits would be issued. We really haven't encountered this enough to have a formal policy as of yet -- the redundancies we use are quite good.

Yes, the best feature about KeePassXC is this ability to do your own syncing. I work at a Fortune 500 where they block every syncing service except OneDrive, so that's what I have to use.
This has been exactly my experience. As a data scientist (not a lawyer!) I had to ensure that some of our existing data processing pipelines complied with GDPR (and make sure we could comply with its reporting requirements.)

I found the Articles well-structured, easily understandable, and overall plainly reasonable. In my experience, those who complained about the 'bureaucratic overhead' of making their pipeline compliant were those who were in charge of processes that clearly violated the spirit of the law, trying to press them into the letter of the law somehow.

Regardless of the regulation. What is the difference of being in the US or anywhere else if you can't go on campus and only work /study from home. The quality of learning is low in both cases.
The question is, if we are so aware of the dangers posed by these power structures, agreeing that the technology itself is "apolitical", then why have we allowed power to be concentrated so highly in a given institution or individual? It seems that, if we are concerned with ethics, we should be pushing much more for the dilution of power back to the people, rather than "taking sides" in terms of who to work with or what to work on.
Adding a comment there is not useful, it should be added only in the function definition if needed.
In this case it’s needed because the function does something unexpected.
I would call it nextPower2(n) rather than npow2 and add a comment in the definition saying that the function returns n if n is a power of 2 because it’s unexpected and it can’t be inferred looking at the function name. As I said before, comments for unexpected behaviours are not only perfectly fine but extremely important.
Also removing all the useless comments will increase the relative importance of the ones remaining since you will have only comments for really important stuff.

Edit: And anyway in the tests you should have at least these two test cases:

Test nextPower2 returns n if it’s a power of 2

Test nextPower2 returns the next power of 2 if n is not a power of 2
Ashby's book is pretty decent, considering that Cybernetics as a field can feel unapproachable to lay folk. In terms of DNA, cybernetics and systems dynamics both draw deeply from the well of early control 20th-century theory and so there are some conceptual overlaps. In relative terms I think cybernetics does a better job of surfacing the contributions of information theory and system dynamics does a better job of surfacing the impact of stocks and flows on overall dynamics (as its name would suggest).
If you don't own the install and are using a managed service, you aren't able to install new ones (RDS for example supports a lot of common extensions, but few fdws) so depending on them may place a hard dependency on the ops side.

https://webkitgtk.org/ is what webview uses on Linux, this is gnome's own web engine and has nothing to do with chromium engine, so webview leverages similar web libraries to do the native GUI then.
NYT has always been like this. Once their bias was pointed out to me, I saw it constantly.
Just guessing, but the place most foreign students come from is China.

There have been multiple claims that China is using oversees students to steal knowledge or that University have become to dependent on the money from Chinese students and cooperations. Be aware that I'm just saying such claims did happen not that they are true.

The fact that many countries also doesn't want to open border to the US again for now might also play a role.
Yeah, I did not really understand that comment either. According to the same article they had more than 1/3 of their raised funds still in the bank (1/3 of $95 million).
I've had a very good experience with Strongbox. I personally haven't used the Nextcloud integration yet so I can't vouch for that specifically, but I've used it with multiple cloud services and it's been seamless every time. It also caches your database locally, which should solve the problems you were having with BoxCryptor. It is freemium, and the really useful features will cost $1 per month, but there is also an option to purchase a perpetual license. Quality indie apps are hard to come by iOS these days, and I'm glad to pay for a service that's so integral to my daily life.

I completely agree. I don’t understand why people aren’t taking this seriously. I have COVID-19 right now and it’s awful. I’m a healthy 32 year old and I’ve been lying in bed for 4 days and I only have what I think is mild symptoms. I can easily see how if I had a pre-existing condition or was unhealthy that it could kill me. I think the problem is that some people don’t believe it until the see or they just don’t care. It’s so sad. I work at a Starbucks and people come in everyday without a mask and are offended when we tell them to wear one, and it’s for their safety!
Bealls is based in Florida, it is not Florida-only.
It's incredibly unfair for the the administration to target international students like this.

However Harvard and MIT aren't all about caring about their international students here. They are also thinking heavily about the money they might be losing. International students usually pay a much higher effective tuition rate. The higher the % of international students the school takes in the more money they take in. If these schools had to replace international students with domestic ones (even if they could) they wouldn't be able to get away with selecting only the highest paying students.

I'm from Boston, we have an incredibly high number of international students, and a lot of the interest in keeping them is about getting their money.

The Boston Globe estimates they are worth $3.6 billion dollars to the area... lots of money, lots of tuition, lots of apartment rentals, lots of bar & restaurant revenue.
Craft: Character-Region Awareness for Text Detection Using Pytorch
Although I hated Language Arts classes growing up, the skill of writing clearly has been hugely beneficial to me in my career.

According to the DOJ press release from January, "under the terms of Lieber’s three-year Thousand Talents contract, WUT paid Lieber $50,000 USD per month, living expenses of up to 1,000,000 Chinese Yuan (approximately $158,000 USD at the time) and awarded him more than $1.5 million to establish a research lab at WUT." [1]

I suspect they had evidence to indicate he was paid, but couldn't produce specific financial records to prove it without a doubt. In cases like this, the FBI typically goes for the jugular by pursuing espionage charges. This can be difficult because it often requires concrete evidence of financial gain from the foreign entity explicitly for the information provided or actions taken. The mere appearance of financial gain is not enough, they'd want to see the literal check stubs and account statements.

Sometime during grad school, I stopped focusing on learning individual technologies and started focusing on keeping up with ideas and philosophies. I'm very happy with that decision now 10+ years later.
Ever considered that everyone is doing everything all wrong and you're just feeding into the frenzy?

That's where I've come as a professional. I couldn't give a fuck any more about anyone's problems and I've learned that it has everything to do with creating pathways for people to communicate.

People are difficult creatures and academia has made us into basket cases unable to tie our own shoelaces without help from someone who will evaluate us and dangle a carrot in front of us for the effort.

Apple expands iPhone repair services to hundreds of new locations across the US
You mean losing memory over time? Not in my case. I switched from doing things in memory to keeping a notebook at the ripe old age of 24. For two reasons.

The first is that I simply couldn't hold everything in my head anymore because I had to track 5-10 different projects at any time, and context switching without something written down sucks when you have to context switch multiple times a day.

The second is that writing things down was a great way to force myself to clarify my thinking. I became more articulate across the board, not because I got better at bullshitting, but because I was now reserving time in advance to think through open issues in a structured way.
I do something like this too. I keep markdown files related to projects I'm working on. I never really made the connection between what I do and lab journals, although I'm familiar with the concept. This makes me think that I could be more organized with my own markdown files. I never thought to create a new one each day and copy the useful stuff from the day before, but that would probably help me be more organized. It can be overwhelming to sort through days worth of missteps just to figure out where you left off on a project.
Rancher has been a strong up-and-comer. I'd fully expected them to be snapped up by one of the hyperscalers. SUSE were smart to grab them before they became overpriced.

How are you using vanilla Kubernetes? I've tried provisioning vanilla K8s on bare metal clusters and I found it to be pure PITA, even with Kubespray.

Rancher's RKE is the first installer I've come across that "just works". Run rke up against a cluster.yml and within minutes you have a HA cluster with ingress ready to rock. K3S is also looking quite good.

In contrast I've spent days staring down the abyss of vanilla K8s. If you have good alternatives for launching K8S on bare metal/on-prem clusters, would be game to try.
The rules have always been there, but as the filing mentions, ICE said in March that the rule would be suspended for the duration of the emergency. They are now going-back on that statement which given the timing of the announcement is causing chaos.

I tried it briefly for homelab use and came to the same conclusion— I ended up feeling like I had a lot more of a safety net with a conventional Ubuntu/Docker/Portainer type setup than I did with Rancher.
Any service from a water main to a bus line has a capacity, and the cost for increasing capacity is not always a linear function.
Seems pretty good.

I think a feedback or visual indicator on the refresh button would be good, because with the "standard" notebook the pre-written code does not print anything and I was not sure it was working until I looked at the code and put an "else {}".

Also a Symfony notebook would be great!
How does the wrapper break when the foreign data's shape changes? What is the nature of the errors surfaced?
It doesn't work that bad on a few French examples I had lying around: It's doing quite well on scanned documents, even quite dense ones. Handwriting doesn't work well at all, even for simpler cases. It managed to recognize a few words from a blackboard picture, but that's hardly usable.

However, it looks like my simple example of an old "S note" export (like a lowish resolution phone screenshot) confused it a bit:

Reglementation -> Reglemantation
km -> kn
illimitée -> illiritée
limite -> liite
baptême -> bapteme
etc.

Overall, it works, and it is quite easy to install and use. I'd have to compare it with tesseract, but I think it's a bit better. A lot slower, though (I only have AMD devices, no CUDA). It's underusing my CPU, and maybe leaking memory a bit, though I didn't clean up.

Take that with a grain of salt, that was a quick try, I haven't tried to tune anything.
They have a bit of a learning curve, because if the switch legs aren't straightened out before being pushed in, there's a chance they can be irreversibly crumpled. It can be a hard lesson if the switches were expensive.

De-soldered switches are especially prone to this problem because the leftover solder on the legs makes them 1) more brittle, and 2) irregularly shaped, so switches like vintage blacks are kind of a no-go for hotswap.

Some have reported the hotswap sockets pop out when forcing switches in, which I personally haven't witnessed myself. The impact ranges from a trivial matter of needing to apply more solder to the pad, all the way up to the hot swap socket ripping off the pad itself (very difficult to repair).

Hotswap sockets are less secure than switches that are directly soldered on, which means that one typically will want to use them in combination with a switch plate. Switch plates, however, have the counter-intuitive effect of raising the pitch of your keyboard's sound profile. Most people don't realize this. By a lot of standards, a plate-less keyboard does sound better, and with hotswap all those keys will start looking slightly crooked fast.

These nitpicks are things most users will never notice, but people who have been in the hobby for a long time do notice them, and those folks happen to be very vocal and influential. Then there's also the fact that anyone who is willing to design a PCB is probably savvy enough to desolder without issues. These factors are why there appears to be a strong anti-hotswap movement.

Overall, I'd still recommend using hotswap.

Honestly the whole notion of losing your domain if you accidentally don't pay is pretty silly. A domain in usage is obviously meant to continue, even if an organization misses a process to renew.

Far better would be that a domain is yours in perpetuity until you explicitly cancel it. If you don't pay, you get bills, or it goes to collections, or the domain temporarily stops resolving or something... but you shouldn't lose it. (If a person passes away, their estate figures out what to do with it.)

The notion that if you forget to pay, 60 days later it's gone (poof), just seems like a dumb policy in the first place.

And for those wondering how a business forgets to renew, it's pretty easy: the employee (A) in charge of managing renewals is let go, and so is their manager (B) at around the same time, so the manager (B) doesn't transfer responsibility from (A) to a new person, and their manager (C) doesn't realize the original employee two levels down (A) never had their responsibility transferred, because that was B's job.
Off the top of my head, reasons could be:

- LBGTQ populations are small, about 4-7% (usually quoted at 5%) of the US, and are generally clustered in big urban areas. Like, if you're a queer kid in rural TN you're moving or Nashville or NYC otherwise you gonna have bad time. But that also means it's a niche demographic that's in a few areas. That's a big deal if I'm buying ads for Miami or Denver or The Castro, but it's not broad appeal across the country.

- LBGTQ isn't uniform in context and content; not a ton of lesbians are into boy-meets-boy stories, and not a lot of gay men are watching videos about Andrea Dworkin and S.C.U.M.

- Not a lot of crossover appeal -- I know a few straight bourgeoisie white ladies that are all about queer culture, trying hard to be allies and all, but other than that there is little crossover. Even my wokest, Bernie-Sanders loving friends aren't watching LBGTQ vids and related content on the regular. Again, it's niche thing.

- Serious flak from conservatives, be they Christian, Muslim, or Hindu, or a Communist Chinese government that's not especially LBGTQ-friendly. I can post e-sports videos that will garner millions of views, from Pakistan to China to Nigeria, but a queer critique of Harry Potter or League of Legends characters might be flagged or banned in most of those countries. There may be aggressive pushback and demonetization as well via lobbyists or religious groups.

- As another poster said, flagging words like "gay" or "lesbian" as pornographic and blocking or demonetizing them accordingly.
